March in Review

First thing, I unlocked my comments which I didn't realize was locked. Now you can leave a comment if you aren't a member of blogspot. Moving on...

Despite an inauspicious start to the month, March has really showed the beginning of consistent success for me in poker. From March 2nd to today I have made $4,608. This in exactly 53 hours of playing time. That is an astonishing $86.94/hourly rate. Unfortunately, March 1st cannot be forgotten or left out, and that -$1,447 day must be included. Even still, $3,161 Net is something I'm very pleased with. That in 57 hours of playing time works out to a healthy $55.46/hourly rate. I'm extremely pleased with this result.

My record for the month is 18-4-1-8. Wins-losses-ties-days not played. I have an excel sheet that I keep all my stats on from the last 3 or 4 months that I may or may upload later. For next month I will really try my best to get in 75 hours of playing time. I need to start playing more, and my results should really show for it.

Today went well, I was in my fair of shit ass situations and I think I fared quite well. I threw together over 1k hands today and here's what came up.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?955002 This may look pretty standard, but my flop check is HUGE here. These are the types of things I wasn't doing a month ago, and I'm really being rewarded with my betting amounts. These small hands add up to at least 1-2 buy ins in profit for me every week.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?955005 One of the rare times the board cooperates and lets me let my opponent do all the betting for me.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?955007 Quasi-suicidal bet here, but when you understand your opponents tendencies, picking up pots like these is huge. I was 80% sure i'd pick up the pot right there. That's pretty big in that spot.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?955015 Wtf is this guy doing? Check out THAT value bet. Lol.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?955020 No one will believe me, but I swear I was folding the turn the whole way here. I was very pissed at myself for calling. With a board that dry all I'm hoping he has is JJ or AT. I should have went with my gut.
