I will do some 4 tabling sessions where i really concentrate and think things through. I shall report back

Despite being 10 BI up for the month I am not playing well and am in a negative frame of mind. I know people say I shouldn’t obsess about red line but I know that I am being outplayed and have little clue as to what to do to counter people constantly floating me. I suppose I could go for the blackshuck ‘just bet until they fold or raise’ line but it seems spew. I might drop down to 50 again once I have made 8k more VPP by Friday, as the bonus is being discounted. I have been experimenting with 3betting recently and have spewed a bit but that is to be expected. I just don’t feel confident OOP to regs; easy answer don’t play OOP I suppose. I can’t seem to find the right spots to pick people of etc etc, I won’t bore you anymore but it is disappointing to me.


In other news I just bought a new screen as a late Xmas present to myself, 23” 1920/1080 Packard bell for 1 fiddy which I thought was a good deal. Also the NFL this weekend was awesome; the cardinal’s packer’s game is probably the most entertaining game I have ever seen.


Anyway, hopefully onwards and upwards and I can push through the final hurdle of making 100nl my bitch.

Short update for the start of the year. It started poorly and I have been running the worst I have ever run. This happens and hopefully I will turn the corner soon. Good news though I feel that I am playing better all the time and my red line is much better, im still –ve but thats to be expected with my style and running bad. Had a +1BI session of red line today over 1k hands which was nice. Now to win at NSD :P. My aim is to play another 30k hands this month which would give me 100k VPP to buy the 1.5k bonus. This is about 2hrs play a day I think at my current rate so I think this is possible and would get the year of to a good start volume wise. I cant do more than 8 table though so it might be a stretch. Also there is no point in trying to run before I can walk, or maybe crawl, I may cut the tables back down to improve. I am posting lots of hands and working quite hard at my game and am confident I can have a break out year.


I will get ½ my finals results in the next few weeks so fingers crossed, if I do will I will treat myself to a balla screen. Apart from that the NFL is hotting up, the cricket is good and im of to some work experience for a trading firm either next week or the one after so that will be fun. Im also going for a house trip to Portugal as they got bored of revising and ended up finding cheap flights to Lisbon just after exams finish.


Also sorry for forum spam but please keep responding, every little helps :)
