Plan
My monthly targets are:
- Play 800 hands of cash on NLHE $1 6-max (Speed) with target of breaking even
- Play 6400 cash hands on PLO $0.50 6-max (Zoom) with target of breaking even
- Play 20 NLHE STT hoping for +10% ROI
I have changed my targets this month. It's a bit aggressive on the PLO, but want to give it a try for a month and see how it goes (time and money wise!)
Monitor
Overall results for the month:-
Pokerstars : +$ 1000.63
Black Belt Poker: +$ 101.66 (+£66.87)
Live play : -£ 2109.00
I played the UKIPT High Roller, which accounted for the huge loss. This was a special one-off and didn't come out of my Poker Bankroll so could claim it shouldn't be included in my normal monthly results.... The normal monthly game up the casino was a better result, finishing 6th for net profit of £41
Pokerstars results break down as follows:
Cash results (+$865.22 overall)
8 Game ($2.00) +£ 71.70
PLO Zoom ($0.50) 3214 hands +£ 793.52
Tournament Results (+$135.41 overall)
1x STT (8 Game) +$ 8.95
1x STT (Micro Millions sat) -$ 2.50
1x MTT (NL HE) +$142.61
2x MTT (Micro Millions sat) -$ 0.91
8x MTT (MIcro Millions Main Events) -$ 12.75
For Pokerstars, I was tempted into playing some of the Micro Millions events.... The distraction wasn't too expensive as used my FPP to satellite into the main events in half the events. I also decided to play PLO cash mostly on Pokerstars now, as iPoker is difficult to get a game sometimes. For some unknown reason I seemed to go on a PLO heater !!
8 Game wins/losses by game type for this month:
2-7 - 8.44
Limit HE +12.26
Omaha HL -19.13
Razz + 1.47
Stud +62.10
Stud HL +54.13
NL HE + 6.17
PLO -36.86
BBP results break down as follows:
Cash results (+£54.37 overall)
NLHE Speed ($1.00) 425 hands +£19.51
NLHE Speed ($0.50) 273 hands +£31.39
PLO ($0.50) 144 hands +£ 3.47
Tournament Results (+£12.50 overall)
4x MTT +£ 46.16
4x 10 seat STT +£ 0.71 Maui Jackpot
13x 6 seat STT -£ 34.37 Rio Jackpot
Reflect
What can I say ! March was a fantastic month for me results wise. I also felt I was (in the main) playing well. The High Roller was always a shot and had little chance of cashing, but it was a one off that had to be done. Not sure what happened to my PLO game. Although one good month doesn't make me a good player, when reviewing the hands I am still happy with my play overall, so hope it will continue in the right direction. I am intending to push my PLO cash game in April, to see if my game really does hold up when I put more volume in. I am also trying to transition to NLHE $1, so volume will be down whilst I adjust
Adjust
I want to push myself a bit with NLHE cash by going up to $1 buy-in, and also push myself in PLO cash by pushing the volume. If it all collapses around my ears, will just have to revert back to previous levels.
My MTT/STT is suffering a bit, but with my current situation it is a lot easier for me to play Cash and a few STT than be involved in a MTT. Will need to keep an eye on this part of my game as well, maybe just do the BBP League games for a while.
Targets
* Keep to Poker Plan
STT/MTT results are a little disappointing, but have got the volumes in.
* Focus on less variants of cash games
So far, so good.
* Break even on all cash games
Not consistent enough yet, but getting there
* Fiddle around less with MTT/STT variants, concentrate on NLHE and 8 Game
Achieved this month, apart from getting side tracked by Micro Millions :)
