No one ever blogs about running at expectation. 'cept me 



Feb 5, 10 06:06:11

Is this 2010? Surely not with the office and all ...

verneer





Feb 5, 10 06:32:09

actually, in term of BB you run above expectation.
so you run good. doesn't apply here.

Is that just one day?

D.Redstone





Feb 5, 10 10:43:05

Danny - one day? lol. this is about three weeks

Pawel - This does not include rush poker or the about 10 hrs of time I've spent in SNG land. Also doesn't include the videos I've made or the coaching I've done (ie, I'm putting in time doing other pokery things). Finally, I should point out I didn't start my year until Jan 15.

So far things are going swimmingly at the poker office. I've been going in everyday except Friday and Saturday. Two of my good real world friends have been coming in daily to grind SNGs after work, and Alvin (citizenwind) has visited a bunch too. I have not been immune to the occasional slacking off, but overall I'm being much more productive in the office. I have yet to put in serious volume, but I've done a lot of "poker related" work (watching videos, making videos, coaching existing students). Alvin and I made a two part $200NL deep w/ antes that I have yet to watch but I hope is helpful and well received. 

 

 

Last week I was interviewed for the inaugural episode of the Cardrunners strategy podcast, which I believe is coming out in about a week or so. Nick Wealthall from the podcast On the Rail is the host, and from what I can tell he is going to do an awesome job. We discussed preflop topics, which might seem boring to a lot of players, but I think it's definitely worth examining in depth. I think most of the stuff we discussed can be really helpful to tons of low and midstakes players.  

 

As for poker, I haven't fully gotten into the swing of playing just yet, but I'm not sweating it. With the current configuration of my professional life (lol), I am really confident that I will do just fine this year. 

 

In September of 2009 I had the biggest bankroll of my lifetime and made the decision to cash most of it out. For various reasons in my personal life, I knew I wouldn't be putting in near the amount of volume to justify having six figures online. I came into 2010 with only about $23k online, and rather than redepositing I decided I would take a hack at the midstakes (2/4 - 3/6) games and see if I could just run it up. I have done a lot of coaching at these limits but never actually put in more than a few thousand hands there (probably 90% of my lifetime cash hands are at 5/10-10/20). Well...either 2/4 and 3/6 are incredibly easy (very unlikely) or I am running like god (obviously). I also played about 30 seconds of Rush poker when it first came out, which is why I have about 800 hands of .50/1.  It's funny to say 3300 hands is a "results post" since that is basically one session for a lot of people. But like I said...I've been busy and I didn't play really any poker until the 16th I think.

My biggest leak in poker, by far, has always been lack of volume. For a long time I've been basically OK with my winrate, the stakes I play, and my game in general. I have a really hard time forcing myself to put in volume, though. I've set hand goals and made prop bets to try to get around this, but I have yet to make anything work for me. Until now, hopefully. 

 
My student/friend Eric and I have rented out office space and turned it into a pretty nice grind station. My goals for 2010 are based around spending hours in the office doing poker related work (playing, making videos, maybe coaching). I've also hired a personal assistant in attempts to increase poker related productivity. Hopefully this will help me put in appropriate volume and have my biggest year yet in terms of profit.
 
We may do some in person group coaching stuff at some point this year; not 100% on any details for this yet.

 With 2010 fast approaching, now is time for every poker player to set a handful of lofty, overly-ambitious goals, only to watch them fall by the wayside sometime in mid-February. Left to our own devices, by and large, we pokerists suck at effective goal setting. In a former life (4 years ago), I worked a "real job" (those are intended as scare quotes) where effective goal setting was a major focus of my training. Consequently, I've been painfully aware of the OMGroflLOLers nature of lots of the goals I read poker players post on their blogs and in forums. 
 
As my treat to you:    
 
http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newHTE_90.h...
 
Now go set dem goals, kids. I might even post some of mine in the coming days if I can muster up the effort to write up YET ANOTHER blog entry. Big plans for 2010. Everybody says that, but I actually have a plan that would seem somewhat unexpected of me to most of you. Gonna get back to watching She's All That now;  <3 Laney Boggs <3

 9 weeks, 248,765 hands, and 410,000 VPPs later...the bet has come to an end. Stinger and tcblade bought out of the bet on Friday morning. I got a good deal, and overall I'm very happy about everything.  I got 9 bottles of Korbel and 1 of Cristal, and Kim and I started on them at about 11am. I will prop bet you guys we can finish them all today, but you gotta give me 20-1.  :) 

I technically lost the bet to about 5 people who each put up $20 to my $1, so those ppl go ahead and post your Stars ID and I will hook up that dolla dolla bill. Thanks to everyone for your support and interest in the bet. The blog will continue but will no longer contain super exciting 5BB flips; sorry!  Real poker, I am returning to you!

A lot of my friends have been asking me if I win the bet what my plans are. Since the SNE rakeback is like 56%, will I continue to play SNGs and rake in 6 figures of bonuses next year? 

Well, looking at my results from my current desktop database, I think it's pretty clear I should forgo cash games in favor of SNGs in the future.  As a friend told me, cash is too predictable and boring. With SNGs you just never know what can happen....
(lol looks like I should edit...I am kidding about quitting cash games)

Enjoy

All right, 2 months in the books, 4 to go on my SNE prop bet. Here is how the SNGs went this month (ugh, scroll down, this blog formatting is owning me):

***********

I've fallen a little bit behind pace b/c of weddings, family stuff, and other miscellany. I am not too worried though, especially since the games will be registering like crazy later in the year as all the regs race for SNE. 

As for the SNGs, I dunno. I am sure I am not a great SNG player. I don't really have time to review my play, and I'm constantly trying to add as many tables as possible to generate for rake for the bet. I guess I will try to play as high as I can and as many tables as I can while still not losing. Generating $1200 of rake 6 days a week is pretty rough, so as long as I'm not losing money, I don't really give a shit :-)  Doesn't hurt to make over $10k a month in rakeback either.

If I could just 12-16 table $235 6max SNGs it would be a breeze but the registration in the higher stakes SNGs is really spotty. What ends up happening is I am playing five to eight different types of SNGs (9max, 6max, steps, sattelites, etc), and it's really hard to keep up w/ the different payout structures and what what the hell is going on.  By hour 8 on your 10th consecutive day of 15 tabling, it can really be a mindfuck.  But I am not complaining. Hopefully I win this bet, though. ha. 








And the VPPs:



Here are the links if the pics dont work for you (forgot to screenshot my VPPs before Sept. started, sorry):
