February

February husngs was looking pretty good until I decided that I needed to take some higher shots. I tried a $30 game, followed by some $20s and they all went bad. So today I covered some of those losses with $10 4man shootouts and did pretty well, getting back almost $100′s worth. That’s still short of where I had been but it’s no big deal – it’s important to take these shots. I’ve seen a bunch of people on the forums who’ve played thousands of games at the $10s and less who just fail to move up (they ask questions like ‘is 100 buy-ins nitty?’). Those $20 games didn’t seem much harder, but lose 5 in a row and the BR hit is still hard to take. Hopefully next month a shot will stay solid and I’ll be in the $20 zone properly (I’m already rolled for it, but to blow it all so I *have* to play $10s would ruin my day too much).

Less said about the cash games the better. As I said before, not going back there ever again (well, apart from the inevitable HU cash games I guess);

Feel free to shoot the ducks…

    How many games you played at higher limits?

    Well played, stick to what you are winning at IMO, you can always try the cash again when things are not going so well. Plenty of fish for you at the higher stakes I’m sure when you take another shot, there must be loads of clueless rich people about.

    that duck is killing my computer.

    Not that many (and not that high :-) ) – Just one $30 and so far about 20 x $20s (those are the two big dips this month). The $20′s are only just under 50% itm, so it’s a hair’s breadth away from being ok. Plus I realised a few things about my game that weren’t helping – ie putting all my chips on the line in a bluff or over-reaching on hands that didn’t merit that much value. I was trying to win a game in just one or two big hands, when I could manage it in 3 or 4 (big but less big) in a less risky fashion. At this level I don’t have to be that fancy really…

    John, the ducks are firing back at you? They’ll be gone next post, just a bit of fun :-)

    Congrats on the winning month!

    Huh, I’m getting a strange feeling that a duck is watching me….

  5. s1ndr0me says:

    just repeating what conan said. Congrats on ANOTHER winning month. Looks like you more than capable of sustaining the $10′s so who cares about $20′s? Just hit em up when you are more comfortable with your roll. Maybe the 4 manners as you’re risking a bit less :-)

    heres to a cracking march!
