My March

I thought I would take this opportunity to give an overview of my month. February was very good to me, I rarely every posted a losing session. It was a very good month that allowed me to pay off some big debts and have some smooth sailing. I started getting a big paranoid (see some previous posts in Feb) that I was just running hot and maybe not a real winning player overall. Well, I think that March settled that. This has been the month of swings. I've had swings over the course of s few days in the thousands. After my big loss near the beginning of the month, I had take a step down and reexamine my game. I was able to recover from that loss after 2 weeks of work. It sucked really hard because I wanted to try and qualify for a WPT event and I just didn't have the money ti be putting towards qualifying events.

But with every cloud there is a silver lining.

As I've said before, my NL game has really taken off. I am handily beating games that 3 months ago wouldn't even think of playing and a year ago seemed like a far off dream. I have ended my month 3K above my target (that's if I don't play at all today). I might be able to reach my year 'target' for my bankroll by this summer. Once I reach that magic number, almost all of my money is going to paying my student loans and putting money away for Law School.

Of course, my latest big push has started on Monday when I headed over to my grandmother's house to help her out, so I am going to thank God for this one. I haven't really stated this much anywhere, much less this blog, but I am a very spiritual person (I was going to say religious, but I don't really do alot of the ritual stuff so 'spiritual' might be better, though I do believe in celebrating my religious holidays). I helped out someone I loved and the good times are rolling!

On a last note, I think I found my biggest leak in my game: clothes shopping. Call it girly or gay or metrosexual, but I like getting stuff like new t-shirts that display my fun-loving personality.

P.S. I hope that Lynard enjoyed her time with. I have two rats, Lynard and Skynard, and one of them died suddenly before I left on Monday.

Watching High Stakes Poker on GSN helped a bit. Willing to make big folds and putting opponents on hands is a good skill to learn. Just practice, I guess.
