Right then...new year....new goals. First thing is first I am going to commit to keeping this blog updated regularly, every few days I reckon. I am really looking forward to 2007 think it has all the makings of a great year for me with my new job at Cisco and my first trip planned for vegas.
So over to my poker goals for 2007.
1) Do not go broke, like Ben Grundy puts it this should be the first goal on anyones list!
2) Build a $10k Bank roll for 2008
3) try to limit my anger management and TILT, If i feel het head syndrome then it is time to come off and reset with a fresh head later.
4) Keep a dedicated record of ANY wins and losses no matter how large or small, I havent been a winning player recently and I believe that I am skilled enough to succeed in the game so now need to proove this to Mr HSBC Gold Card.
5) dont play anything over 2-4NL, have done alot of money playing 5-10 and 10-20 over the past 6 months, time to be more professional in my bankroll management.
6) Qualify for a major tournament via a sattelite
I think these goals are achieveable for sure if I get off to a reasonable start in January. I only want to be playing about 10 table hours per week really and will be mostly online because of work commitments. I definately want to cut my teeth in the MTTs as there can be some excellent value there and some big pay days. First thing is first though I need to pay off the credit card which stands at 1250 as I type then will settle down on a couple of sites and start to build a bankroll.
I have started using http://www.pokerdominator.com/ to track my results, this is a pretty good poker tracker and is free to use which is always nice going into January my last 7 sessions have been good winning $725 including a $500 loss and a $150 loss in a live game at TC Poker in Farnborough.
Anyway time for a Fish and Chips now so signing out until next time....

Unbelieveable 5 hands!
Well then it has been a while since I have updated this blog and alot has happened in the month that has gone. My games have varied from 1-2 up to 3-6NL and I have been playing a mixture of Partypoker and Laddies. To be fair I have had a rough time of things in the past month and have actually considered giving up the game. One hand to talk of was the following:
I have KK utg, call, called all round by 4 other players in a 1-2nl game, I am sitting with about 300 so up 150 for the session.
Flop the nuts with K36, 2 diamonds, bb bets, I call, button calls. Turn is a 3, still 2 diamonds and I have the big house. Call another bet, again called by the button. River is an offsuit 8. anyway all the money ends up going in and I am up against 3333. Sick
In another big hand of note, I hit a runner runner 2nd nut flush only to be shown AQs for the nuts, thats another 300 dollar gone. Did a lot of tilting in between these hands and had other hands where KT beat my AK all in pre and several other hands that got busted in a big way.
So anyway, pay off my credit card with savings and decide to give poker a miss....at least thats what I thought!
I wouldnt say im an addicted gambler, but i dont think i can now leave the game due to the +ve that it brings and the nice sideline that the money gives me. So i amback in the game now and about 600£ up for the last week. I was involved in 4 of the weirdest (is that a word.....if not should be!!) hands I have ever seen, basically i managed to win over $1K in 4 hands on a 2-4 table, all against the same player! Here they are below:

I love my check raise in hand 3 and the stone cold move in on hand 4 that got called, fancy calling 600$ into a 60 pot....sick
I have been venturing up to a local poker club in North Camp Hants run by the true gentleman Tony Chapman, Readings only poker gent.... check out http://www.tcpoker.co.uk for more info. They are the only poker club i know in the south that play NL cash games rather than the preferred PL variety that they all seem to go for to booster the rake.
Anyway, until next time
