cliff diving
19 September 2008
Haven't really updated much this month, mainly because things haven't really been going well and I just haven't been motivated to post anything relevant. I've gotten a decent number of hours in at the 200nl tables this month, but the results just aren't there. I want to say that this is because I'm just running into the tops of my villains ranges (as I am not really finding spots where I absolutely hate my play), but at this point I'm not really sure anymore. I'll probably start posting some "problem hands" on Leggo in the next week or so as I review them more... validation that I'm not completely effing up would probably help my confidence right now.
I'm trying to work through the downswing by 2tabling 200nl instead of dropping back down the 4 tables of 100nl. This should (in theory) help me to range my opponents and follow game flow even closer than normal (goddamn you AP and your super fast mega turbo tables... fix the regular speed ones). Anyway, I'm not ready to step closer to the ledge, but I'll be honest and say that my ego is a little bruised. Hopefully this is all for the best though and my "luck" turns around soon.... I'd love to stop running poorly.

august results
09 September 2008
Didn't get much time to play in August, but to be honest, that was expected. Birthday, vacation, fantasy football prep, work hell translates to not much time at the table. Oh well... I still managed to watch a ton of vids, talk through hands with malfaire, and generally try to improve my game as a whole. As autumn kicks in I hope to get more time at the tables and learn even more. 200nl is a much different beast to 50nl/100nl IMO, at least on AP. I'm not necessarily saying it's more difficult (because I don't think that it is), but the play from the regulars seems much different. I think that postflop play is truly the place where I can gain the biggest edge over my opponents and I'm focusing a lot of my efforts on improving my hand reading and winning pots that actually see a flop.
As for goals I pretty much sucked hard again. I'm going to be changing up my goal list to something that I can track throughout the month as well as keep them attainable. I really like malfaire's approach, so I'm gonna gank it. Anyway, results below. Don't read into them too much, the sample is ridiculously low. As malfaire pointed out though, EV doesn't get me anywhere in life. Show me the moneys!!!!!
August Results:
Table Profit: $394.50
ABS Rakeback: $112.51
