Gauss Blog, Never Surrender. Never.

Well as the year donks its way to an end its time to reflect upon the many ass rogerings and bad beats I have sufferred…..

Just kidding, sort of. So we are at 25NL where we shouldve started initially. I still think I basically ran bad all year at the higher limits like 100nl but there is nothing wrong with regrouping, and building a bankroll down where its safe. Im playing 6 max 25nl and enjoying it. There are many more decisions to be made and its entertaining, much more invlovement than full ring. There is no doubt in my mind that if I grind this level Ill have a bankroll to go higer, probably sooner than later and that is a good feeling.

Looking forward to continue to improve in 2010 and to having a profitable year. Very much want to get out in the real world and play more live, so you might see me at the tables and I would appreciate you taking a shower. I have been playing for about two years but basically spent the first year and a half at mixed games where I did much better. The thing about those games though is there is no where to play live unless your a millionaire, so here I am learning NLHE.

There are many aspects of my game that are coming together like learning to study well, keeping a journal and developing some good practices like pregame meditation. Everyone on Pokerroad and DC has been very helpfull and I apprecitate it. One fundamental weakness remains not having anyone to talk with about poker as in real life interaction. Anyone who is a reg, and serious about moving through the low to middle stakes online games please feel free to contact me. I have started using Skpe.

Btw if I had to state the one thing that I learned this year that is the most usefull I would say its the 5% rule. As in never have more than 5% or your bankroll on a table at once. If you follow this simple rule you will be playing at the right level, with little or no chance of going broke.
