Seems like a good time to run through 2010 and look ahead to 2011. For the last 4 or 5 months of 2010 I really seemed to get my act together and do pretty well on MTTs.
On the live front trips away have been few and far between but I did win the live betfair forum game in a state of complete drunkenness way back in august… despite the original venue closing on the day of the comp.
I also managed to win a ticket to Betfair Live Prauge in October. Only managed about 90mins in the main event though... getting it all in 3 ways preflop for a 300BB pot… me with AA other big stack with KK and short stack with AJ. K on the turn saw me heading for the bar and spent the rest of the weekend in the local cash game having much fun with some really bad old guys from Prauge plus a few of the other Betfair regulars.
Online has been pretty good in terms of $. I’ve managed to settle into a regular pattern on BF playing 4 or 5 MTTs a night. I don’t really feel like I’ve been on a heater and I’ve had some bad luck 7 or 8 deep in some of the bigger comps but I’ve got to be happy with the profit and my OPR rating which hit 9 stars just before Crimbo.
Must say that since Betfair moved to Ongame I’ve become a bit of an OPR junkie. It certainly keeps the mind focused and gives another incentive to win knowing that anyone can look up your results and rating.
Link to my OPR listing is here…
And now that Sharkscope covers Betfair MTTs my graph is looking ok...
Apart from the occasional stuffing at $100 HU poker in 2010 has been pretty good.
2011
New Years Poker targets and resolutions….
1: Keep the blog going.
2: Stick to MTTs or the occasional low stakes cash game.
3: Target to make minimum $30k profit from MTTs online in 2011 (stretch target of $50k)
4: Play more live… 2010 live trips were almost non-existent.
5: Pick up a $10k + win online.
6: Finish in top 100 Ongame MTT players for 2011 on OPR.
7: Improve my top 3 finish % (8 top 3 finishes from 28 final tables since July is not that great)… want this up to at least 35-40%.
8: Play more Sats into the bigger $500+ online games.
9: If I’m playing crap take a few days off.
That will do for now. Think I’ll post regular updates against these targets that can be specifically measured.
Have fun.
Jim
