My beloved computer was in need for some upgrades after it failed to wake up on Thursday, so today, pretty much all of today in fact I was busy cautiously trying to test and setup the new components. I now have a Phenom II CPU and 6GB of Tri-Channel memory (shame my board is dual-channel lol). Its been a long day, so I’m not expecting to get any play in tonight, though I am aware I am way behind the pace I would like and hope to catch up tomorrow.
i don’t think I played on the 1st, though I did have a good day on the 2nd, play mostly 100nl on stars. Since then I’ve made a deposit on ipoker and have been trying to get used to it, to allow me to pick up a quick $600 deposit bonus. Its so different to stars, and its driving me a little nuts tbh, I just hope I can adjust to bother the site and the players asap. It feels like the optimal way to play this site is just to play a ton of tables in a very ABC style, and then get the hell out as soon as you complete whatever bonus you have forced yourself to commit to.
I haven’t updated my previous post about January yet, but as you can see from the my graph, things didn’t go all that well, I do feel good about the month though, especially ensuring I made plat and doing well at 100nl in the last 3 days of the month, only the middle of the month really sucked and over all it was an enjoyable month. I’ve got to get saving for a new house atm, so I’m going to put off buying that chair I showed a while back, though I will be rewarding myself with that keyboard if I’m finish pleased with how I played over the month.
I’m also going to introduce some sort of graph or chat to monitor my progress towards my annual $ won target, though I haven’t started on that yet.
May the grind be with you

After failing to be awake enough for another session (always fun to fire up one more session only to loose all of your day’s profits), I pretty randomly created a thread on the HPT forums about some poker aha moments of mine, click the link bellow to check out the thread, I’ve copied my aha moments here:
Poker Aha Moments
1. flatting KK is way way way way way way way way better then 3b’ing if facing a 4b will make your sphincter twitch.
2. choosing to play OOP is like choosing to drive a car with no breaks because its in your favorite color
3. fish and regs alike instinctively try and beat 1 pair way more then they try to get an over pair or TP to fold
4. don’t assume a reg is a thinking player, treat him as a tight fish until he proves u wrong
5. avoiding tilt, burnout, stress and having a healthy lifestyle will earn u more at the tables then any single improvement in strategy (beyond the very very basics) ever will

My new mouse finally arrived today, its going to take a little getting used to, but I’m really happy with it, I am already regretting purchasing a backup wired keyboard a little as now I’ve found a unifying keyboard to match my mouse and the cost of the keyboard have just bought will go a large part of the way towards the new wireless one I will inevitably end up ordering soon, but it’ll come in handy if my wireless keyboard breaks or I get a laptop and want to use a full sized keyboard, etc.
Here’s a picture of the new mouse, and the keyboard I will likely purchase in the new year:
and whilst I’m at it here’s a picture of the new desk chair I hope to buy next month:
I’ve also thought of a few new supplementary goals for the New Year:
- Minimum of 2 MTT’s per month
- Play the Million $ Turbo Take Down at least every other month

Probably the last post I make until after Christmas Day, so I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
Have been playing very poorly recently, even more so then has been typical for the past few months, and have worked some pretty big leaks into my game, so my targets for next month are changing, but not much. After some coaching with Urban Sprawler when I get back after Christmas I will reassess, but right now it looks like I will be skipping my plan to start 12 tabling next month and instead remain focused on improving my game, ridding myself of these obvious and very damaging leaks I have picked up and getting my spark back.

I am very pleased with how they look, and I am already thinking of having more done utilizing the other designs that they produced for me. My t-shirts will now soon be available for sale direct from High Roller Clothing.
Bellow are a few photo’s of them:

LuckyStraights.com gets t-shirts, yes I am the new Hellmuth, and I want all my own bling :p I’ve been thinking about doing this for awhile, but nothing materialized until I bumped into High Roller Clothing. The have an ever growing collection of t-shirts and other items’ of clothing with various designs and product ranges to choose from. I am particularly fond of the Queen of Hearts T-shirt.
I wanted something specific for me though so I contacted them and we discussed my options, and for an affordable design fee I came away with 4 designs, which will be put onto my own t-shirts, you can see some of the designs in my cafe press store and I will post pics of the finished t-shirts when they arrive.
