Time for a break

After having reached a part of my goal ($250) I have decided to take a small break from online poker, since I have very limited time at the moment ...

Only popping in for some small tournaments when time allows it ...

From Ladbrokes to Paradise

The Land of Opportunities ... or what ??? Even the name sounds much better: Paradise :o)

To be more precise, I have changed to Sporting Odds again. And already I feel lucky again.

BR is now up to $395 again ... still playing the NL 0.5/1 tables ...

Playing too many hands...

I managed to increase my stacks a little yesterday ... keeping focus and only playing one table at a time. BUT.....

I have figured out that I play too many hands. I, of course, play the premium hands and try to stick to these, but I might not be quick enough to play them down when the board turns against me. I might be too aggressive in trying to bluff the others out of the pot. I might even be playing a few too many marginal hands as well ... and forgetting to lay them down.

The result ?? I still make a few bucks on the tables ... but far from enough ;o)

New plan: Stick to the Premium hands (Level 1).

Mission Possible

$169 .04 is the numbers in my account.

I actually started out about a week ago with $50 and over the weekend I topped at $402 ... Then where is the money, you might ask? I simply lost my concentration, tried to play two talbes at a time, thought I juuuuust wanted to increase my BR with another 100 bucks in a few seconds and
lost 250 in 20 minutes .... stupid me!!

Now I have a target: $1000

This should be accomplished by playing 0.5/1 No Limit Holdem poker at Ladbrokes. You probably already argues that I should start with a bigger BR before entering a game at this level. Well, you are right ... But I am willing to take a chance.

Freerolls and smaller <$15 buy-in MTT's and a SNG once in a while ... but mainly just for the fun.

May the cards be with me ;o)

PS: I even considered going back to my Limit Poker and try my luck there, but my math skills and concentration span prohobits me from this.

A New Fresh Start

I have put myself on a quest. A mission if you will!

I want to make some money on the tables and logic tells me that I need to focus ... therefore I will use this blog to help me keep focus and note down my thoughts and progress...

Actually this is like a boxin match... it could be over in just a few seconds or last all 15 rounds. You never can tell...

Wish me luck ... I might need it ;o)
