March: Poker

I am not certain that I ever outlined on this blog what the team would be doing in poker over the past month. The overall idea (outlined in emails) was to play the lowest limits of cash tables on the internet to build confidence as well as to teach ourselves a better way to approach each session. There were specific rules and concepts that I do not feel like going over here, but if anyone is curious you can email me and I will be glad to go over it. So I will now post the results for the past month:

03/29/08		-19	Off
03/30/08		Off	Off
03/31/08		27	22
Average		21	36

One interesting point is that I played over 10,000 hands this month, while Sam played around 1,000 hands. I was also playing 3-4 tables (NL Texas Holdem), while he was playing 2 tables (PL Omaha). All of my sessions were relatively stress free and within the new structure I find it is much easier to identify 'tilt' or 'poor play' than before. I will probably update this with numbers for Andy and MB, as well as some overall thoughts, but for now thats it.

Be Well.
