I like two at a time baby, yeah!!

Have been down in Brighton with the gf the last couple of days, and whilst she has been at lectures, I have been either 1-tabling or 2-tabling heads up, and I have to say, I have much preferred it and feel I can win a lot more by doing it. I am going to keep with 2 until I feel my game is where it was at it's peak, and then I will move back up to 4 and hope to crush it!

I haven't put in much volume since last post, what with a dissertation synopsis and a few pool money matches (only really small amounts...but hopefully = free pool for me if I win!) I have been restricted to 146 games, which is actually so low for me! Luckily, I have been running well (plsss for once don't let me run bad after posting!!) and my stats are...

146
$3.52
$22
15%
$514

I am hoping that if I 2-table, my ROI will be up around 13-15%, so that could make me around $33/hr...if I can achieve this I might wave 4-tabling goodbye until I can hit above 8% when doing it!

Roll = $3201
FPP to get before 1st Dec to get $100 bonus = 1100
Days left to do that = 5!...gonna be tight!



POKER AIMS!!!

My poker aim is to hit Vegas in 2years time (with the gf on a holiday probs) and play in some WSOP events/cash games/deepstack tournies...it's a very big ask, but if I can keep working my roll up and NOT WITHDRAWING, and make at least $1k a month which can hopefully shoot up as I move up (+ taking shots at sats for the WSOP etc), it's a possibility, and if I ship a big tournie could even be for the 2009WSOP.

I recognise that for me the idea of being a poker pro is more than likely unattainable, so I am trying to work my roll up for a few amazing trips of a lifetime or maybe towards a house/car/anything expensive. If I manage to fall into earning a few $k a month whilst grinding away over a sustained period, I may give full-time a shot, but for the time being I think I'm going to have to get my degree and will maybe go straight in to work. Maybe, IF I CAN KEEP MY ROLL AND NOT WITHDRAW, I might take the summer to play poker if I can get a job that starts in September. Unlike last year, this will hopefully be off of a much larger roll and I'll see how I can fare.

The idea of studying for extra qualifications whilst playing poker for the next couple of years seems tempting, and with my lack of idea as to what I want to do could happen...though poker is a fickle business and I don't want to miss out on any secure opportunities for the risk that is poker. It just seems a shame to play the game for two and a half years solid, get to a level where I can win, and then have to let it slide...the reality is that's probably what's going to happen!!

I think over Christmas, with my gf working a lot of the time, I will be able to play nearly full-time....maybe I'll use this as an indication as to what I should do...

Hmmm the post descending in to rambling...never mind...if you've read this far....wp and ty...if u skipped to read this last bit...u take the moral highground and win the ultimate prize...vwp.
