Goals

These are my goals for 2010
-Beat 2PLO 16 tabling
-Build Bankroll to $250 at 2PLO then move to 5PLO
-10 Table 5PLO and consistently beat it with a 4bb/100 win rate
-Get a Hold'em SNG coach, and PLO 6max cash game coach
- Place 1st at least once in the $2 180/90 mans
-Consistently beat the 6/9man $6.60 SNGs w/20%ROI
-Get HEM PLO
-Get 2 books on PLO
-Review sessions, and post at least 1 hand per session

This may change especially since I should be beating 10PLO by decemember, but since I'm going to be in school year round it may not be possible.

Time to start all over

This blog is gonna mostly be about poker, but may have some personal stuff as well.

So I just cashed out my account for the lion's share so I can take care of some legal issues. When I first started I had $50 and ran it up to about $600. This time I left $25 left in it. The last time I had a HUGE downswing was playing PLO 5/10 deep, and I lost a lot. But this time is different. Instead of 10plo deep, it will be 2plo reg, and instead of 3 tables it will be 8+. My biggest leak was staying on tables too long when I was up huge losing a huge pot and tilting the rest off. Now I am going to drop the table and start a new one as soon as I double up. PLO is known for being super swingy and seeing as I am a super bankroll nit this is uncharacteristic for me. I should have 75-100 buy ins to be rolled, instead I have 20. I'm pretty confident in my game at this level and if I can work out a few leaks and keep mass tabling to prevent tilt I should be able to run it up to $100 w/rakeback then I can decide if I want to start playing 6max $2 SNGs which is what I'm probably best at, or move up in PLO. Regardless I will be working with a coach over the summer to learn how to make some serious cash playing NLH 90-180 man SNGs.

Full Tilt just moved my table limit up to 16 so I'm going back to the tables.
