Overtime > poker

As expected had to focus on work last week so didn't get many hands in. Good news is that I should have a lot more time for poker 'til the end of the month!

5.5k hands in so far, still aiming for that 15k target although it's going to be tough as 4-5 tabling slows me down a lot. Definately won't be adding more tables though, I really think I'm optimal at around 4 tables.

Brag
Crushing 1/2 at the moment, game selecting really well and running well too.
I feel much more at home at this level now, a lot more comfortable and now able to beat up on a lot of the regulars. My game seems to have naturally progressed to more 23/20/5 kinda style which I'm happy with. I do a lot more 3 and 4-betting preflop now and I pick my spots really accurately, credit to the aejones videos on Leggo and lots of hand discussion with Dave. This month I'm focussing on improving my double-barrelling. Trying out making moves in a lot of spots, so far they've been fairly unsuccessful. :)

Beat
Setups, suckouts and coolers galore while shottaking.
It's pretty frustrating but the variance isn't surprising and has to be accepted over such a small sample. I'm still very comfortable jumping in soft 2/4 and super soft 3/6 games if the chance arises. Been playing quite a lot of 2/4 recently which I'm happy with. I'll basically play 2/4 so long as the tables are the same quality that I'm playing at 1/2.

Will post some hands in a couple of days...

Sweet results @ 1/2. Glad to read that you plan to be pretty strict on maintaining your MT ratio...quality > quantity, as you know.

Thats pretty much killing 1/2 i would love to be in that position. Iam sure keeping this up that it wount be long till your doing it at 2/4 if things keep going well you could be soon thinking of being your own boss. Gotta move tho cause of the exchange rate. Hawai sound good?

Keep it up m8 good luck

Nice set of results at 1/2 and good to see the work you put in at the game is paying off. I'm with Willie here I'd love to be in that position as well.
