Going OK

Well I definitely don't think I am going to hit my target of 14k hands this month as we're approaching the halfway point and I've not even cleared 3k, but nevermind. I have an exam on Monday so it's probably a good thing.

I have been analysing my play a bit and I really think I need to loosen up a bit. At the moment I have a VPIP of 15% I raise 11% of hands pre-flop, which isn't too bad, but I think I can afford to play a few more hands. It's quite hard when you are playing 9 tables though, and things are still going ok at the moment so I have no real need to change but it might be more fun andf a bit more profitable. I also need to work on my positional play and steal more blinds.

So this week I've only played a couple of times but it's gone ok. Firstly I had a pretty sweet session where I won $113 in under an hour, mainly by getting in with AA v 56s (people are loving their 56s!) and by getting a bit lucky and getting in with QQ v AK on a Q-J-10-5 board and rivering a J.

I then played again yesterday and quickly lost $100, mainly from being unable to fold AA even when it was pretty obvious I was beat. However, I stuck around and eventually managed to stack the same player and made about a $40 profit.

Hands: 2,687
Profit: $217.80
VPPs: 500
