Reflect
For the live game, it was another trip to Farnborough to hopefully go one step better than last month. Sadly, it was a fairly average night and although didn't need a rebuy, never got traction and ended up out early after the first break.
Pokerstars results were a little disappointing. I am making some mistakes, probably due to playing when tired (after work) May try to change the routine slightly so I play less often and only when feeling fresher. I did start 2 tabling in an effort to play less hands, which had a little success with NLHE but not sure it helped much with PLO
For Black Belt, it is sad to see the site shutdown but was happy to end on a good month. I continued with my above expectation cash ratio for all MTTs, but particularly the $1500 GTD, although would be nice to get a deeper run in that one again. My intention is to switch to the Coral account to continue with iPoker and the BBP players and tournaments
March 2014 Targets
Monthly target for March will be:
- Play 400 cash hands on NLHE $0.10 6-max (2 table Zoom) with target of breaking even (Pokerstars)
