been running pretty hot, here's the official word.
nothing really special i've been doing, although i did watch a CR vid to refresh before taking my little shot over the last few days. i think my biggest improvement was that i was TRYING to find bad players and not just sitting with whoever with the mentality that "i'm good enough to beat them, why not just play them?".
i realized that not playing someone does nothing to my pride and it says nothing negative about my game, if anything it says that i'm an intelligent player looker for the best edge i can get. before i took it as a shot to my ego if i couldn't run over someone, but that's just not the case. i could be the best NL player in the world, i would still have a VERY marginal edge of the 2nd best player.
i'm slowly starting to shed a bit of my ego, i felt like for a while i was trying to prove something by being good at poker, and like i should just be leaps and bounds better than anyone i play. that's just not going to be the case, i'm sure there are actually a handfull of players that ARE better than me at 100NL (although it is me, god i'm arrogant) :)
so yea, new mini-goal would be to keep up checking my ego at the door when i sit down to play because it's only going to get me into trouble. think i'm going to jump back to 6max and focus there for a bit, see how it goes.
bankroll is at 2450ish, which is actually really good. i'm up 281 total for the month over less than 9500 hands, the majority of which are at 50NL. pretty much all my winnings are from the 100NL HU though, i'm up 1 BI at 50NL 6max and down 2.5 at 100nL6max, down 4 at 50NL HU.
my long term goal was to play 200NL starting september i believe, so i'm well on track for that. i would really prefer to have 5k+ when i take my shot, not just the bare 20BI minimum that i want for shot taking. like i said earlier, i am in no rush to be a high roller. off for a 6max session, hopefully it doesn't go to shit :)
