2010

Ok 2010 is here and who knows what it will bring.

Only done 1 post of this blog so far , maybe this year il be more active in the updates, but il be honest with you not a big fan of all this online poker comunity bullshit probably the only exception is RaiseTheRiver.com find that site extremly useful and the posts and banter are good and its the only 1 i regulary log in to.
Ive lost count of how many others i have accounts for , bloody Railbirds, Pokerspace, pokerinside, poker4gays....blah blah blah, end up signin up because my mate Jack 4wards me the links and its always to try and get a silly freeroll thts got 10thousand people in to win $8 haha sayin that i could do that $8 right now :).
So a little summary of 2009 ok i wont go into detail but runnin at a major loss wont try and justify this but this was down to a few reasons first of all the main problem in the begginin cash games :( plain and simple saw it as a way to make quick money i was limited 4 time and i crashed and burned plenty of times and kept goin back 4 more even tho i shouldnt and everytime i lost i felt sik.... Became a deposit junkie not gonna lie and as i had the money to keep pumpin into it was a bad posistion 2b in.
Due to workin alot i had a break from poker and came back rededicated focused on grindin from the bottom , controllin my Bankroll management and stayin away from cash.
At the time i also had a change of workin hours wich lead me to loads of free time!!!
This was not good becuase this lead me from playin many Sngs and Mtt and when u play about 20 a day all these $2 and $3 add up.
I always had in the back of my head how much id roughly lost but it wasnt untill 1 day when playin some mouthy prik at the table decided to announce to the table exactly how much id lost....untill then i never knew that these statistic sites existed. I will chat about what i think about them another time.
So yea checked them out and ill be honest was and still am quite embarrased what it shows but i guess they dont lie....
So coming clean im roughly about £1.000 down in cash and £2,000 in sngs and mtt if u search my statistics......amazin :( aint i anyone wanna sponsor me !!!.
again not makin excuses my the genious writtin this blog thought i know what ill do ill up my stakes on cash tables and yea i know ill plat $150 mtt :( :( silly boy.

fastforward 2 now.
Honestly believe im a much better player then what i was , im certainly alot more sensible i have strict levels which i play and only play sngs or mtt and the occasional low stake limit stud.
My goals for this year poker wise are;

1)Enjoy playin (times last year when i wasnt)
2) Learn and improve all aspects of my game.
3) Keep Playin MTTs and hopefully take a big 1 down.
4) make a steady profit.

Im off to Australia in 3 weeks so who knows how much pokes ill manage this year but hopefully play alot 2009 wasnt great but it was an experience and ive learned form it heres 2 2010.
