Hiya all

This is long and rambling... just so you know

Well it's been a long time since I started a new op, I used to start one every other month back in 2006-7, but then came the realisation that I suck at poker and all the $$$ I had lost began to depress me.

I've managed to lose a lot of my RB + Bonus records somewhere, so it's hard to be accurate, but I know that after my first year or so of playing I was up a couple of grand, even after the couple of grand I'd lost at the tables.

My history at ring goes something like this:
Year 1: -$1690
Year 2: -$4732
Year 3: -$543 (Didn't play much in 2008)

So my entire ring career is that I lost around $7000 at ring poker, I was a winner more-or-less up to $50NL (60k hands) and a big loser whenever I went up.

SNGs have been something I've always enjoyed and these days I'm more happy to pump "my" money into.
Historically I've lost money on tournies too, about -$350.
That's mainly explained by losing $350 at $10+1 turbos


I just play $10+1 regs at Party these days. So far in 2009:


Which just goes to show how little I play these days.
But the aim is to make it to 1000 SNGs this year, given that I can 6-table quite effectively it seems I should be able to make 25 tournaments a week.
(I can just say that I am still on 75% sick leave from work after being quite seriously sick in summer 08...)

Maybe I can use this op to share my thoughts, finally get around to learning stuff about putting people on ranges, ICM and all that.

Or maybe I'll just write crap in here every now and again because otherwise I never post to FTR these days.
