That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto

Although the book might bet a little thin.

I’m not really happy with the amount of volume I put in but I think I am improving at 200 NL. Winrate was around 3ptbb this month which I would be very happy with if I can maintain that long term at 200 NL. A little DC cheating this month, I’ve been watching Rick Mask’s full ring videos over at Stox which are fantastic. He explains concepts very well in a way that just clicks with me. He will pause and talk about why he is making a play and what other factors would change it in a great level of detail. That combined with the fact that he seems to crush post flop makes the videos A+ imo.

Don’t know why but I had little motivation to grind the last 2 weeks. Been killing it in the gym, tired when I get home from work, and just tired of poker in general. Bills are paid, didn’t really have anything to aim for. So to create some motivation I spent some money. Bought a blu ray player, booked a trip to Vegas for first week of March in part because of a Bellagio comped room and some freeplay. Which is nice because I didn’t -EV gamble much there last time. They must be hurting for guests during these months.

So I need to set a hand goal this month, but I need to be realistic. Got plans superbowl weekend and Feb. is only 28 days. As much as I’d like to throw down 100k hands, it’s probably not realistic and the additional play will just be zombie like or spewtastic. So looking back at my volume per month the most hands I’ve played is 54,842. I’d like to beat that so I’m thinking 56,000 is a realistic goal. Basically 2k hands per day.

Music hasn’t been all that exciting lately, not much happens in January. I’ve been listening to this mixtape lately and realize how much I like old Kanye.

The original homecoming pre College Dropout debut/College Dropout bootleg is one of my favorites.
