FISH & CHIPS

This is a pretty crazy hand that went down in a $2(1r+1a)MTT today, not often you get this much action when you flop a set, and hold:

Another thing I have started doing is selling a piece of my action to reduce variance and allow me to play some higher buy-ins. I know the Deuces Cracked community is not into staking. So if any one else  is interested in doing this themselves you should check out  ChipMeUP.com  Or feel free to PM me with any questions.

June is over(Thank goodness, not a good month poker wise):

1) You're reading it

2) Missed maintaining Iron Man, had a pretty slow start to the month energy wise, and didnt put in a ton of volume. I did however accomplish a big thing and that was to stay away from the cash game tables(I completely filtered them out of my Full Tilt client)

3)OPR says I squeezed out 242 games in June with ROI of -13%, my tracking software shows 305games total(including some sngs) with a total June ROI of -17%.

This actaully doesn't seem too bad after the fact, considering how the month went, I went on a huge downswing, with only one decent 3-figure score. As you can see by my graph, at one point I was down almost $650, but ended the month down just over $300.

4)Didn't make 99% on OPR,but I will get there.

 

Figured I would start off June by checking off one of my goals as I type this:

June Goals:

1. Create a Blog....check.
2. Maintain Bronze Level Iron Man on Full Tilt playing strictly MTT's
3. Play 300 MTT's 
4. Attain 99% Ranking on OPR

The month of May was a very good month overall, and I look forward to pushing forward for June.I Recently started back playing poker in March after a long break since last year. I have a renewed dedication and commitment to playing the best poker I can, and to improving my game to the highest level.
