Hi guys,
There are not many excuses why I have disappear and haven’t
updated my blog. I caught up with other things (poker and non-poker related)
and writing a blog post on a regular basis wasn’t really on the top of my list.
What I have been doing the past two months? I was really
focusing on my game. I was studying, playing a looooot and start talking poker
and strategy with my friends.
Back in October, I felt that I wasn’t playing great, I was
lazy to study and pretending not to see my mistakes. So I start grinding, I made
50k and 60k months respectively which I think is a huge number considering I still
got a job :/
At some point I was chasing VPPs, FPPs and bankroll peaks. I
made my targets, I can’t complaint about that. However, December found me tired
and all I wanted was to go on holidays.
So here I am, taking a break and being in Greece for the
Xmas holidays. I am taking my own pace, and I don’t want to stress over points
and targets. I have plenty of time to do that in January J
At the beginning of the month, I realised that I have a
virus on my computer and this resulted to lose a lot of files, including database
and player notes on stars. I tried to play without stats but it felt ugly and
awful. So I emailed stars and they send me a very large part of my lost
database. I have no words to say how grateful I am with stars support and for
helping me out with that.
I am still missing some hands, and graphs are not as pretty
as they used to be, but to me the most important thing is to have stats on my
opponents and I don’t mind not knowing what my win rate was 6 months ago.
As I am not playing as much, I am focusing on my game more,
try to study and review hands and also I updated my HUD (looks so beautiful
now). I decided to use PT along with HEM and take advantage of what each
programme does best. PT would be used for live play from now on (did I mention
my new HUD?) and HEM for review. Sorry PT but I am so used to do review on HEM J
Among all the above work, I am also in some study groups on
Skype. I am very happy that I have met people who we share the same passion
about poker and we can talk about hands all the time. It’s not only about poker, I am happy that we
have built some strong relationship and we help each other in any way we can. I
won’t get into details but I really appreciate some things these guys have done
for me when I needed them. Poker can be a lonely hobby/ activity/ job so,
knowing that there are people who will support you and help you it is a very
nice feeling.
This is becoming a very long post, so I better wrap it up before
I bore you. I will be updating you more often from now on. Enjoy the Christmas holidays
and let’s all get motivated to reach our targets. J
Good luck at the tables.
