By way of an introduction
by pkrtiltsme on 01/05/10
So I have been toying with starting a blog for a while now and decided that this is probably the right time to start it being a new year an all. I am hoping that blog will function both as a reminder of how much I have to learn and improve and as a mechanism towards addressing it. I suppose that writing up the hands where I make the most significant mistakes is going to be cathartic and embarrassment will provide the motivation to remove, or at least reduce, such spew from my game.
I want to keep this short so by way of an introduction I have been playing poker recreationally for about 20 years but only really as a semi-thinking player for about the last 2. I have had two profitable years in 2008 and 2009 and intend to set out some goals for ensuring that this year not only maintains that trend but increases my profit for a 3rd year running. Last year was good to the tune of about $12k if we generously include the spot prize for making the nuts with some bag of spanners in a Pokerstars Billionth hand giveaway on some PLO $50 table in May or thereabouts. My primary game is small stakes MTT’s where I play as pkrtiltsme on Stars and frvrfkntiltd on FT, where I am currently playing pretty much exclusively due to a fairly unique backing arrangement I was offered after needing to use my roll for unforeseeable life expenses. I post on 2p2 as well as dereds and am rarely happier than when talking shite about a subject I enjoy but barely grasp.
In setting my goals for the year I am going to try and be both realistic and challenging. My goal is to secure $20k as personal profit not including the profit share I have with my backer. After taking a 4 month hiatus last year this seems pretty reasonable. Other goals include restarting the coaching I was receiving until I was unable to put in the volume or had the online funds to pay for and to post more hands that involve interesting decisions rather than obviously incorrect ones.
