I think it is becoming pretty self evident that my blog will not be a daily one. I have been really trying to become more active on my blog but my workload is just seeing me slip time after time. It seems ages since my last post and I suppose it is so what has been happening. Well I have restarted my $100-$10k challenge and I am still struggling to keep my mind in gear even after a two week break. So I am moving up to $100 and $200 games and hitting and running which I have done in the past and been very successful. The standard is very good though and so it is hardly playing free poker on the play money tables.
The bankroll currently stands at $4441 but I need to do something to keep my head in gear. My problem was that I said at the outset that I would not be using a tracker and I suppose that I had better stick to that. It is pretty evident now how important the use of trackers really is and so I need to get a little cute with how I am working or am going to work. I simply cannot allow people to datamine me or get meaningful sample sizes in how I play.
So I will be changing sites frequently and site hopping and game hopping so that I am not playing the same line up or same players twice. It is very difficult for players to be able to get an edge on me and in 2009 I was making about $200/day doing this. I simply do not think that I can hack it any longer playing and multi-tabling NL50 and I need to get back to playing the sort of poker that I know that I can play and enjoy and that I can win at. This is hitting and running before players can get an angle on me. I would ideally like to use a tracker but I set out to show that really good money could be made without getting as serious as that.
Have also just started road testing “The Fox” six max low-stakes limit hold’em system as well and so playing the challenge may be something of a premium this month.
