Hi, To preface with a quick note – I used to post here under the handle ‘Dumas’ but changed it for my own idiosyncratic OCD reasons ;) Anyway, on with the blog. I’m actually just making an effort to return to poker, and by association the DC forums, after a couple-month long hiatus from playing – primarily on account of this: Following on from a smooth run at 5NL, getting crushed so ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/zavodovski/90651-Break-Over-Back-to-Poker-">(continued)</a>
I made these goals out about a week ago. Summer is finally here. Time to put the plan into action. Moving Through the Micros Building a bankroll from $100 (.02/.04) to $5,000 (1/2) The goal is to grind through micro-stakes no-limit hold ‘em and end up properly rolled for small stakes play. Start with 25 buy ins at .02/.04 Move up when bankroll reaches 25 buy ins at the next leve ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nicname/90321-The-Goals-">(continued)</a>
Playing results Simply put, it was a good day, a good start. I lost a few hands being sucked out that cost me two all in’s but I also had some good wins I finished the day on $545 which is an increase of $45 (225 BB). I played for about 3 hours this evening and half an hour at lunch. I will beef this up with some actual stats from the session and maybe a couple of hands for comment along with my prof ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nzweasel/87331-Fishing-results">(continued)</a>
So, the time has come to start this journey. I have tinkered over the last 10 days at NL10, NL25 and NL50 6 max to get a feel for the games. I hate to admit it but I am a fish and learnt pretty quickly thay NL10 will be my starting point. There are pros to this though, it means I actually begin my journey fully rolled for it. At the higher stakes I would ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nzweasel/87321-Day-1-bait-has-been-purchased-and-the-hook-baited">(continued)</a>
So today I had a slightly winning day I think but very frustrating overall. I think I had the most tilting hour ever. In this magic hour, I lost heads up in a $88 on iPoker where I had a 10:1 chip lead. Lost about 4 flips headsup. Also finished 6th in a $75 turbo with QK<Q6s where I turned the straight and lost to a flush . I had 50+ bb in the 20c, Sunday Million, and 33R and didn’t cash an ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/jjyykk/87171-Sunday-Update">(continued)</a>
Hey Everyone, Mentally its been a good week. My outlook is optimistic and I am excited to play every time I sit down. I only have one month left in school and then I’m off until the fall so its an exciting time because I’m so close to being back too full time hours. Weight loss wise the results are good so far but the process has been lacking. I weighed in at 290.4 this morning which keeps ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/jaimestaples/87081-Weight-adventures">(continued)</a>
Preparation for Goal 2 starts today. This one should be about 1/4 as hard as the first one. I’m not taking anything for granted though- I’m going to do my best not to screw this up. Goal 3 is epic (even more so than goal 1) so it’s nice to have something a little more attainable to aim at first. Just to recap, the actual goals and lots of stuff about the progress towards them will be revealed a bit af ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/huntse/85241-Goal-1-Done">(continued)</a>
I’ve been playing some pretty decent poker since I made my previous blog post about goals, and as a result I’m about 1/3rd of the way to completing goal #1. The important thing is that the quality of my decision-making has really improved a lot, and I’m getting a lot of benefit from the work that I’m putting in away from the table. Just got to keep on making good decisions, be patient, keep working hard ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/huntse/84201-Goals-update">(continued)</a>
Currently, I’m deleting some of the random, less performance/poker/gambling-related entries on my blog. Aggressive Certainty is not my facebook, and wallowing is not productive, and my inner speech was wrong in those posts. In essence, this is my mental performance log which I hope to use later on to help others. Yup, pretty boring. FOCUS!! I’m just happy to be here, and I hope I can help the ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/83811-Housekeeping-Focus-">(continued)</a>
2012 will be my first year as a full time Poker professional. I finished law school this past May and have nothing on my plate for the coming year. I want to shoot for the top 100 in both the PocketFives rankings and the Pokerstars Yearly TLB. I’m currently 450th or so in the P5 rankings and am 611th in the Stars rankings as of now. I didn’t play e ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/jjyykk/83801-2012-Goals-Top-100-Pokerstars-Yearly-TLB-Top-100-PocketFives-Rankings">(continued)</a>
