April

I’m taking tomorrow off, so I guess I just played my last hand for April. I put in about 20K hands over 50 hours this month. That’s about half of my monthly goal, but this was a particularly busy month for the Boston Debate League (just under 100 hours): I was in Chicago for a few days for the UDL Nationals, then we had our City Championships as well.

The month got off to a rough start, but I recovered reasonable well. I ran at nearly 2 BB/100, but because my win rate was best at smaller stakes, I was actually in the red for the month, though not by a lot.

I played a touch of PLO and Stud/8, but not enough to be worth talking about. I will say though that I need to realize that those games require a lot more focus, both because I have a lot less experience in them and because there are fewer automatic decisions than in NLHE. Playing three tables of Stud/8 and talking on the phone is not going to work, even though that’s no sweat at almost any stakes in NLHE (unless I’m playing HU).

Most importantly, I accomplished one of my New Year’s Resolutions by getting affiliated with Poker Savvy Plus. My first three videos, which comprised a series on Flop Fundamentals, was well received, and it looks like I’ll be doing some more.

Aren’t I supposed to be winning money? Here’s to a better May….
