Nothing ever gets done...

Well I've put off posting on this blog for so long I've now got too much content to write.

I'm back in the UK now. Got back on Monday after a 24 hour flight *snore*, pretty boring stuff. But now I'm in a pickle because all my friends have gone university and I have a gap year to spend doing....

Anyway, since it's coming to the end of September it would be good to see if I've made good on the goals I set myself in August

Cash Games:
- Break out of this short break even stretch I am on.

I did, both through winning and losing money

- DO NOT TILT

Sadly not achieved :(

- Achieve silverstar hopefully by the end of August. I need 467 VPP by the end of August and that will only be done with a lot of grinding.

Failed because of internet crash, failed to get it for September, but that was always going to be a push.

- Post hands and situations I struggle with on 2+2 and continue to post advice for other users.

I spend too much time on 2+2 so I can say I've achieved that

- Stack aggrodonks

Where did they all go?

- Make good purposeful notes

Making a few, admittedly less since I got a HUD

- Probably most importantly sort out the lack of a HUD that I am currently suffering from.

Got poker co-pilot 2 on a 30 day free trial. HORAY! WAHOO! <_<

Tourneys
-Don't play 'em.

Successful here, I suck horribly at tourneys.

Life
- Pass the ski instructor course I am on

DONE!

- GET LAID!!!

:(((((((

I'm not able to play any poker atm, my laptop broke and the main computer in the house doesn't want to open Pokerstars for some reason. My dad is trying to fix my laptop so hopefully I can be back on soon. Any goals I make are on the presumption that I can get on poker again.

October goals:

Cash Games:
-Play without tilting
-Play less tables
-Re-learn how to beat 10nl
-Be back at 25nl

Tournaments
-Play them sparingly

Life
-Go out find friends
-Get a job

I think that's it for this month

Kiwi internet = 72o in SB

I think that I have played like 50 hands so far this September. Not out of preference but because my internet has just been too ****. I've got a new internet cable and it seems to be working better, I managed to get a small session in last night, 3 tabling 10nl and 1 tabling 25nl, which was a weird hybrid. It really screwed up my bet-sizing, but it was interesting to compare the differences in the limits. There is less limping in 25nl than 10nl, and a lot less limp calling, I'm sick of ramping it up to like 7bb and getting called 4 ways with ATo OTB and then completely whiffing the flop. Post-flop play is still the same pretty much, obviously it gets somewhat better as you move up, but I wouldn't say that there is much difference between the limits overall. Everyone pretty much sucks ass and most that don't play like 24 tables, so it's nice to play 4-8 tables and have a good edge.

My internet breaking down is also annoying because I signed up to DC to take advantage of their free trial, downloaded a few series but wasn't able to make the most of it because of the internet crash. What I've got seems top class and will definately be extremely awesome, but not getting the volume that I expected, kinda sucks my big hairy ass.

I passed my ski instructor exam. It's awesome to be able to describe my self as a certified NZSIA ski instructor. I just scraped it, but as I didn't have the required experience, I think it is a good achievement. I also met a girl that I got on really well with, went out on a couple of nights out with her and her friends, but then found that I have no way of contacting any of them, so that is a bit rubbish.

Anyway, I've rambled on too long.

Peace out.
