March 09 First poker post

Poker goals March 09:

1) Show 800 dollars profit (bring the roll up to $1,200 allowing myself room to play NL50 in April)
2) Play 10k hands
3) Show 6.5bb/100
4) Take a few shots at NL50
5) Try to review a few hands here after each session.

I ran well the first 2 days, up 154 dollars. Obviously with only 1k hands played this is not an example of how I'll run for the whole month but it's a great start.

I'm playing premium pocket pairs really well. I'm also playing mid-high suited connectors and low pocket pairs well. I need to work on my low-mid suited connector and medium pocket pair play.

I should easily hit Silver Star level this month, if not gold.

I've essentially quit playing SnGs. I can't get a big enough sample size in a month to deal with the swings. I feel pretty confident in my cash game right now. The only huge pots I've lost were KK against AK, KK against AA and KK against QQ. I lost 3 full buy ins on those 3 hands, or I'd really be balling.

Long Term poker goals:

1) Be rolled for NL100 by june.
2) Play well enough to drop down to 2-3 shifts a week at Montis, and be able to pay most of my expenses through poker
3) Be less results oriented, and focus more on good play
