Last month wasn’t all that great financially, and was hoping for steady progress this month.
Plan
My monthly targets are:
- Play 700 hands of cash on NLHE $0.50 Full Ring, 700 cash hands on PLO $0.50 6-max and 350 hands PLO8 $0.50 6-max, all with profit target of 2 BB per hour.
- Play 20 STT hoping for 10% ROI (around $20 per month)
Monitor
Overall results for the month are:
Pokerstars : +$50.99 (£32.46)
Black Belt Poker : +$273.22 (£173.95)
Live Play : -£40.00
PokerStars I had 4x 8 game cash sessions, winning in three of them for profit of $52.85. I also played 6x 8 Game STT, but only cashed two of them so ended with loss of -$1.86
For Black Belt Poker, the results were:
Cash Results (+£160.50 profit overall)
NLHE ($0.50) 619 hands +£104.27
PL Omaha ($0.50) 617 hands +£57.77
PL Omaha HL ($0.50) 236 hands –£1.54
Tournament Results (+£13.45 profit overall)
8x MTT -£37.85
10x 2 seat STT -£10.24
9x 6 seat STT +£137.64
7x 10 seat STT –£76.10
Reflect
My Pokerstars results are pretty solid, so am still content with how I’m going there. It was a shame to post my first 8 game cash session loss in three months but can’t complain overall
Having said that, I did have one hand in NLHE cash where there was a +$160 in my favour, having got my stack in bad, but have had my fair share of bad beats in the past!
For BBP, the cash results are fantastic but more importantly I have really felt I have been playing my ‘A’ game for these sessions. I can’t get complacent as I still need to improve and get more consistent, but overall am happy.
The MTT are a little disappointing but are always going to be a bit swingy. The 2 and 6 seat STT are pretty OK but for some reason my 10 seat STT are not all that good. From my notes, I haven't felt like I was playing my best game with these either, so need to re-focus and concentrate this area in particular for next month. I’m not going to beat myself up too much though, as I’m still not getting in much volume to get representative picture.
Adjust
December will be a little interrupted with various events and activities going on, but hope to get a good number of sessions in before Xmas at least. I need to continue my discipline and improvement in my cash games, but also try to make sure I don’t drop the ball on my tournaments either.
