September Rap-up/October Plans
by mjbern23 on 10/04/08
I havent posted in several weeks due to a few reasons, but mainly just a lack of motivation to write...However i am begining to get back into the swing of things and thought it would be helpful to get back to writing out my results and other non poker related activities...
To start off with September turned out to be one of my most successful months to date with my 2nd largest win coming 2 weeks ago taking down the $3r on stars...I also won a $1050 seat in a WCOOP event for just 1000fpps and finished the month winning my home game 3 consecutive weeks in a row...No other live play this month...
My stats for online play for the month of September were...
Total Winnings = $5848
Total Profit = $4154
ROI = 245%
In The Money = 14/46...30%
Adding in my live winnings at my home games i estimate a total profit of about $5000 for the month...
I felt as if i really made a significant change to my game during the middle of the month to open my my game alot more and really play the aggressive/semi-reckless style which alot of the successful players seem to do and it really seems to have helped my especially in the early to mid stages by mixing up in more pots and taking advantage of the bubble and tighter players by opening up alot more and stealing blinds/antes and also making my opponents put me on a wider range of hands so my monsters are better disquised than before when i had a much smaller opening range...
I have know got a much better sample size of tournys online that i have a pretty good feel of where im at in terms of level of play vs other players...I feel as if the unl. rebuy/add on tournys fit my style the best and feel the small to medium rebuy events are filled with so many poor players that i have such a +ev on 95% of the field that it would be silly of myself to try and move up to larger single buy-in events where the level of play is much better and my ROI is much smaller...I have been regularly playing the 2, $3r $5r and $11r on stars for the past couple weeks and have been itm almost 40% with the win in the $3r...I have made a couple dissapointing plays deep in a couple of the others that i feel have cost me a great chance of going to the ft or winning it and settling for only 8-10 buy-in payday...
For the month of October i am looking to play just those 4 tournys 5 days a week and am interested to see my end result #'s as i feel they will be very good...Also on the live side, The Heartland Poker Tour is coming back to Turning Stone the 3rd week of October and i look to be playing in a few of the events there...Also the 3rd Saturday of the month i have already satalited into a $250 local tourny which should be quite soft as i play against the majority of the players on a weekly basis...Im still playing my home game every Tuesday and ill be going for win #4 in a row this week!...
Off of poker for a bit, the day after my $3r win, whcih ended at 4:30AM, i traveled out to visit my sister at Cortland where she is attending college there and then when to visit a couple of my good friends at Suny Oswego and had a fun time there, however making the 5+ hour drive after zero sleep and still the high of winning the tourney the night before was a bit of a challenge and wish i did it on another night :-)...Also last weekend my cousin was married out in Rochester NY so we all had a great time out there for the weekend...
