Okay whatever... so its my first post. It will get better.
First, about the pokersift.com site...cool. I love Rounders the poker show and am reallyexcited that I made the big time. I am guessing the podcast draws all sorts, and now with the migration to two plus two - the premier site in the world for on line poker - we'll I guess I am big time. So the posts there resemble the posts here - but not necessarily the same. I'll have to go a little more professional on that blog and a little more down and dirty here. Bottom line is I just want to entertain and hopefully share some mistakes so others don't make them along the way.
Now on to my online personna. His new years goals....So I am making a commitment to be a "complete" poker player. Starting this blog is one way to track my progress and analyze my game. First and foremost, I am setting some goals for the 2008 season. Basically to:
1. Play my best at all times. No longer log on when I don't feel like it. I often come on and think I can rip through a tournament - lose all patience and my chips when I realize I am not in it for seven hours. I compare it to going golfing for 18 holes when all you have is an hour. Mentally you just can't compete if you are not into it for the long haul.
2. Analyze my game, hands, losses and wins..and try and find my leaks. I use Pokeroffice, and really find that it is a simple mistake that I make that takes me out. From now on I am going to blog what that mistake is - and how I lost my chips.
3. Read all those damn books I keep buying and put those "book reports" on line. Seriously I think I have them all - and its time I started to dive into those books and hammer on key points. Super System, Harrington on Holdem and Killer poker are my first reads, and I am looking forward to then tackling Sklansky and Malmouth. Part and Parcel of that reading is to learn all the games. I often found that Horse and Omaha break up the NL Hold em quite nicely.
4. Learn from http://www.tiltboy.ca/ and make it a worthwhile endeavour...seriously - I want to learn so I have a poker mentor.... Warning*** the site is a project in progress and part of that means its not done all the way. So take what you can out of it and hopefully you'll enjoy it.
5. Focus and study Pokerxfactor and all its infinite wisdom. Last night was watching the Super Tuesday on PS and saw johnnybax and Annette_15's name in the top 12 (for the record Annette was 7th and Bax 12th) But watching a little made me realize TIGHT AGGRESSIVE is the way of the Pro.
6. Win a MTT worth more than 2500k. This one will happen as I slowly am starting to get some results. I find although the http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/ is fairly accurate - it fails to sometimes have all my results on there.
7. Practice a form of Bankroll management...although I feel like if I can win a few early Tournaments then this will become more important when I start to enter the larger entry fee tournaments. Right now is 5$ and under or at least the 3$ rebuy.
Okay so - there it is....my first post. It starts tonight with a 3.00$ rebuy on Stars...Guaranteed Win night.....I mean its the new me isn't it.
Shout out to my Freeland Roomie - you're probably the only one reading this....
