im not a  fan of berating other peoples play but in all the games ive grinded this is quite possibly the worst call i have ever witnessed.  i didnt save the chat after the hand but it definately brought the lulz.



on a side note im running like god in the 216s (move up to where they respect your raises obv)

looking forward to 2011 and a review of 2010

with 2010 in the books id like to take a look back at the year.  The first couple months of the year were spent on full tilt grinding super turbos.  I built up a decent roll but wasnt progressing as a player due to the lack of post flop play in these games.  In april I was pretty burnt out and fed up with the variance in these games and moved to pokerstars to grind 18,45, and 180 mans.  I feel my play style in the early stages is better suited to mttsng's rather than 9 mans.  I was planning on making a run at supernova elite 30 tabling the 27$-60$ 18 and 45 mans.  Breaking even in these games would result in over 100k plus profits from the games.  At the end of October i made the move back into super turbos and for the rest of the year i was absolutely killing the games.  I was consistently in the top 5 for average profit on sharkscope for the 16-35$ and 36-100$ level.  pokers a lot more fun when youre winning.  I spent a lot of time studying and using my HUD.  Im also table selecting now, which was something i wasnt doing earlier this year.  im only registering in games where i feel my long term $/game is over $2 before rakeback.  heres my graph from 4/14-12/31:

im waiting for the reset to be removed on my FT stats but i mostly broke even and earned a ton of rakeback the first 3 months of the year.  I felt i was well prepared heading into 2010 but some things you cant prepare for and experience is the best teacher.  Ive outlined some goals for myself in 2011
-over 100k profit
-update blog at least once a month
-workout at the gym at least 3x a week
-keep working on my 6 max game.  study 2-3 hours a week exclusively on 6 max
-top 5 for total profit on sharkscope for either 6 or 9 man super turbos
-retain my supernova status on stars- not that important but gives me a nice back up option if i become sick of super turbos again

good luck to everyone in 2011 and see you at the tables
