During my poor run of cards, I didn’t play as much as I probably should have and instead decided to look more in depth into my core strategy and gameplay.  This turn around could just be a hot run of cards, but I also think that my time working on my game plugged up some leaks and shed a new light on some stuff I previously didn’t know.

I am still behind schedule as far as meeting my 2010 goals is concerned but I feel more confident now that the blindfold has been lifted.

Poker is a cruel game that can certainly plays tricks on the mind when you are running bad….more next time.

I also have been getting really deep in some of the NLH tourneys I have played as of late. I just haven’t gotten to a final table, which is where all the money is. It gets really frustrated at the levels that I am at (3-30 buyin level) because the fields are soooo large. I sit there and play for over 6 hours just to bust out in the final 3 tables on some ridiculous beat and not much of a payday.

But I know that if I can just continue to get deep in these things, I am bound to break through with a big win. It is just a matter of time.

On another note, I have played in some more WCOOP steps but not as much as I hoped. I have maybe profited $30 dollars in those in the past week. I haven’t been really good at record keeping as of late, which is probably not the best thing.

Another thing that I have been doing is trying out PL 5 card draw mtts. It is totally different from limit. I find that I am too much of a calling station in PL. Calling what looks like bluffs can be a good thing in limit, but one wrong decision in PL and I will be grasping for my tourney life. The main reason I have been doing this is due to Pokerstars offering only a PL draw mtt in the upcoming WCOOP (which I plan to play in).

Until next time………
