Bye Bye March

I can’t really say I am gonna miss you. Here were my march goals:

1. Play 40k hands – ya pretty much
2. Profit and withdraw a good chunk, while still keeping an online roll of $50k. – checkmark for the withdraw part lol
3. Move up to 5/10 successfully – meh… at least i’m not really losing there right??

This month was pretty meh… definitely the swingiest month I’ve ever had thx to 5/10. Overall I ended up pretty much breakeven not including rakeback. The laptop graph I only played about 4k hands on there this month, but I’m just gonna throw all of those results into this month because I’ve never included them before.

Despite being a little frustrated with the overall results this month I’m gonna be honest and say I don’t really regret having played 5/10 at all even though I know I could grind out $5k+ solid months playing exclusively 2/4 and below with relatively small variance this is not my goal. I think I’d much rather struggle at 5/10 for 100k hands or however long it takes there breaking even for a few months before I have a breakout $30k+ month and really get the ball rolling. It is only a matter of time before I at least run average and start crushing there. I’m perfectly okay with sacrificing small profits now in favor of the big profits at a later time taking shots and blowing most of my profits from the lower stakes in the bigger games.

I’m by no means saying I played great or even good poker for the majority of the month, all I am gonna say is I played good enough to make some decent monies and that didn’t end up happening. Add another $2k below expectation from my laptop and this’ll put me at oh let’s see here…5k+8k+2k+12k= ya that’s right about ~27k below expectation for 2008 so far, weeeeee.
