School > Poker (not by choice)
So the past month or so I ahve been spending alot less time studying poker and alot more time studying biology and anthropology. As fun as that sounds I am glad to say that my poker hiatus is coming to an end at least for a couple of weeks. Now that I am done with midterms I will be able to log some major hours. Also, I am going to the promised land of Las Vegas next week for a few days, so hopefully I will play some great live poker out there.
You might be wondering how may play has been going over the past month and I am sad to report that I ahve been not doing very well. During that last part of February I continued to play $55 SnG's and could not seem to break through to any profits. At the end of the moth Party poker restructered all their SnG's and I decided that would be a great time to start playing NL ring again. After playing almost 5,000 Sng's I was ready for a change. So since the begenning of March i ahve been 4 tabling the 6max NL100 tables and gotten ina bout 12,000 hands so far. I started out great but have dropped down recently and will post my stats once I get done with my first 20k hands.
Part of the reason i am starting to struggle is that I am new to 6max and it is a much different game than SnG's. Hopefully I can do a lot of studying and playing over the next couple weeks and make some great improvments in my game. I think that I should eventually be able to make about 5 PTBB/100 hands which would equate to $35-$40/hr plus $1200/month in rakeback.
I will start making some regualr updates about what I am learning in thw world of shorthanded NL Ring and will also post a full Las Vegas trip report. So stay tuned and wish me luck.
