Focus and Exploitation

I was running really good and playing my B game and now I stopped running really good and should probably start playing my A game and drop some tables. 14 stars tables is ok especially if I don't continue to reg so I only have 10 or less when I am shorthanded on alot a tables. Had some recent tilty sessions of bwin + stars on 14+ tables and a couple 5 max games. Ran meh too but I need to only play on bwin or stars, multi-siting is just too much of a pain in the ass.

Cleared 110 kickback bonus on bwin (from regalospoker) + 20% of my 350$ first deposit bonus by paying 100 bucks in rake so that is a sick deal but I need to clear the full 350 since it pays out lump sum by May 1st which should be easy enough.




Month so far:
550 @ tables
+100 live
+180 bwin bonus
+30 stars deposit bonus
up 860.00 which is better than I have done in a whole month since like.... September. So that feels really good but I need to play a little bit better and aim to get in like 800 games total, probably about 50-50 bwin turbos and knockouts on stars.

Also I think I am going to try to deal omaha today (Basically got under 30 minutes of training :S ), I am pretty quick at mental math but I think in English and calculating pot is going to be pretty damn confusing along with trying to keep track of all the regular shit and then showdowns with 4 hole cards. Tips are at least twice as good at the single blind 2€ omaha tables vs 1-2 though because the table plays deep and there is awesome degen action.

Guess we'll see how long I work and maybe put in a 30-50 game session on stars when I get home and take some shots at 27s since it will be Friday night in the U.S. and I can easily cherrypick 3 or 4 games that are softer than the 13s. I might take one shot at a 67.50 if I can chase a few fish up there since I know most of the regs / fish but I will only sit in one good game.

Combined BR: A few $ shy of 2K not including the 440€ I deposited for the redeposit bonus at stars which I will withdraw again.

Gaaah, running below ev at work I made 28€ + like maybe 10€ in regular wage on a 9 hour shift One table with 3 hot milfs + 2 drunken retards where I shipped the milfs over 10 pots over 100€ and a few over 200€ I got one (yes a single) 1€ tip. Mind you I pay 7€ / half hour so that was an hour of me losing money since the rest of the table didn't tip well either. I'm not even that ugly or incompetent at dealing either O well variance i suppose.

Also anyone who beats 10nl should come play in Austria (or anywhere live I don't have much experience in that department) and crush all the fish. It's not even funny how bad they all play. Totally telegraph their hands, value bluff, only bluff one street at most, misjudge pot sized (20€ bet takes down 80€ 6 way pots alot more than they should). Also if someone sighs or complains about the river card then bets a decent amount ... they have it. I know that's a typical tell but it has got to be the most accurate. Something like 20 for 20 so far.

Didnt play any 27s on saturday morning but I played a couple on sunday morning and busted both, excessively soft games and I should probably mix them in on the regular. I have noticed I defaulted to deciding my action based upon buyin in close spots (screw it 5$ sng I am shoving vs oh I will nit this up, esp. in the 27s) this is pretty horrible at times when I have semi decent reads and I should just make a decision based on factors that affect my equity and such.

Put in another successful session on bwin for 100$ in an hour this morning so running super hot this month. I feel I am shoving good ranges, maybe calling a little loose without solid reads, and then just running like god when I am behind :P

Also I need to think up some solid life BRM, not really saving for anything in particular but I want freedom in the future to travel, study abroad, who knows what all of which money allows me to do. Opened a Closed Deposit type of account today at the bank which yields 7% the first year and then fluctuates based on market but min. 4.1%. The Gov't pays 3% (included in prev figures) up to 1200 / yr so that is how much I deposited and will deposit yearly. I'm usually a pretty decent nit regarding small purchases but I like to make big ones (on my childish scale).
I broke my creative headset and had to buy a new one, a cheapish gamer headset that was decent cost 100€ or 140$. Christ do I love cheaper electronics in the U.S. where it would cost 50% less.

Here is a pic of my current grindstation which I am pretty happy with (just got rid of the office chair I had that was probably used by Hitler's aid in the 1930s). The setup looks a little weird with the samsung tilted the way it is on the left but it actually works really well, I usually keep all the tables cascaded on the right one and have lobbies, itunes, and maybe the internet (bad) on the left. I might spend 120-150 on a SSD when I get my paycheck but maybe I should just nit it up.
