CR MTT Tournament Final

I've managed to get some sort of Internet Connection over the weekend. Its not great but will do for now I guess. It will have to.

Any way I'm playing in the CR MTT Final tonight all being well so hopefully will be able to take it down.

I'll update later.

I finished fourth, technically third because the person who finished third wasn't qualified and shouldn't have been playing.

Gets me into the CR MTT Series Main Event for free and some Amazon Vouchers.

No Internet Connection

Other than for 20 mins this morning before work, I have not been able to get an Internet Connection all week.

I spent Wednesday night on the phone to Virgin Media Customer Service Dept!!!! and there only solution was to use an Ethernet Cable instead of USB to connect to my modem.

I've basically had enough of them as I have been getting a bad connection for some time and am looking to change ISP as soon as I can but that probably won't happen for a couple of weeks.

I can access a few things at work but obviously won't be able to play and can't access the group site at all unfortunately.

I'll up date when and where I can but not expecting to be able to be back on line until I'm back at work next week.

Give me time to review my game I guess.

Good luck all.

Surely Not an Update..........

Ok I admit it my blogging has been absolutely atrocious of late. No excuses I just haven't really felt like updating it because there hasn't been too much going on. I have been reading the other blogs but haven't really made any comments of late either which is going to change.

I was ill for a week or so and made the mistake of putting a couple of sessions in which cost me some money but nothing too much to worry about. Just another important lesson learnt. Apart from those sessions, I'm probably running at about Break even for the month.

Away from Poker, two of my other hobbies are Football and Golf. I'll leave the football for the time being because the team I support Leicester City are looking like there going to be relegated to the third tier of Englishj Football for the first time in there history and after watching there latest embarrassing performance yesterday any serious comment will put me on tilt for days. Any way the four biggest teams in England are playing eachother today Man Utd V Liverpool from 1.30pm GMT and followed by Arsenal V Chelsea both potentially key games in the battle for the title with about 10 games left. An afternoon in front of the TV is looming.

As for the Golf, with Easter being early this year, Good Friday is traditionally our 1st game of the year. I'm not a member of a club or anything like that I don't play often enough to make that viable. I just try and play 10/15 times a year after work or at the weekends, weather/work committments permitting. There's four of us who go away for a Glofing weekend in the summer and try and play 3/4 rounds. We're trying to sort out this year's trip at the moment hopefully at some links courses if there not too expensive. We got a quote for Royal Lytham which was way out of our price range at £132 each. Any way I played on Friday in what can only be described as a howling gale (good practice for links courses). I didn't play too badly considering it was my first game for 6 months other than I had something like 38 putts which is not good at all and played the Par 5's like an idiot. I've got some new clubs on order so hopefully they will help my game. Could do with some lessons as well.

Thats it for now I'll have a Poker Update next time because there's a couple of big leaks I've spotted in my game which I need to sort out. Just want to do a bit more analysis first.

February Results

This is going to be a bit painful but here's February's results. It was basically a poor month for the most part and from my point of view has to be the Turning Point.

As I've already blogged about, I lost focus in the middle of the month and as a result started playing badly and making some bad decisions. I've not played any Cash at all for the best part of a week now and will start afresh on ~Tuesday/Wednesday of next week. I want to Review alot of my hands from the start of this year before I do start playing again to see if I've got any serious leaks I haven't realised I have.





The second line on the above is when I played a bit of Heads Up. No idea why its showing as 6 Max. I want to play more Heads Up if I can but seeing as I'm the World's Worst HU Player i'm not sure if it will be a good idea. Need to check out some video's etc. before I do



I don't think anything looks significantly out of line but if any one can see something I've missed then please let me know and I will take it on board.

I'm not going to set any targets as such for March just want to start playing some solid ABC Poker and hopefully turn things around.

There are a couple of things I want to work on which are as follows: -

Table Selection
Hand Reading and Table Analysis and putting people on Ranges.
Review more of my play and

One more important thing I need to get back in the habit of doing in a big way is Posting on Forums and replying to more posts on the Group Site and also Blogs of the other people in the group and also watching the video's that have been made which I resolve to have watched and commented on as necessary by Wednesday of this week. I will also be looking to take part in more Sweat Sessions if I can

Good luck for this month
