I forgot just how good this was..........
Spurs at home tomorrow, haven't been able to get to this game for a while but i've got tickets for tomorrow. They've got most of their defenders out, they're fucking shite anyway, we're coming off the back of a huge win and we're at home. Hopefully we'll destroy those scummy cunts once again.

On Target:
Looking good for my target atm. Not sure this DB includes all the hands but its pretty close. According to this im winning $98.50/100 hands, but i think in really its quite a bit higher than that currently, this database includes a lot of hands from a) when i was shitter b) from 1/2, 2/4, 3/6. These are my stats since the 1st August, i'm pretty proud of this, but I still think i'm not playing brilliantly, still making tons of mistakes and can definitely increase my winrate - lots of work still to do!

Been a long time.......
Haven't really had anything spectacular to update this with for a while, but i didn't want to disappoint my regular readers [hi to both of you] so i thought i better make a post.
Poker has been pretty up and down so far, been playing on Ladbrokes a lot, the games are totally different to i'm used to, but they're still great. The average player is like 43/32 though. I sat on a table yesterday, played 27/22 and was the tightest raiser at the table by some margin. Probably now up for December but not by a great deal, been winning consistently on Laddies and been on a crazy rollercoaster on Pacific, i've had a ~13 buyin swing on 10/20 in about 24hrs. There's still tons of time though, December could still turn out great.
Went to see Arsenal v. Bucharest on Wednesday with BobboFitos as he was over filming a poker DVD. He's a great guy, it was really good meeting him and just talking poker and life. We talked about the future of poker and how people are going to be learning. It seems to me that one of the reasons why games will continue to be profitable is that the high end thinking will all be done privately instead of on public forums as has happened up until now. When money or connections is the only way to access this, I imagine a lot of players will not be making substantial progress. The games will change, yes, but only the number of players able to make good money will decrease. I want to be in that group, i'm working, and thinking a ton about my game at the moment. I'm putting a lot of effort in and I can feel myself playing waaaaaaaaaaaay better. There's still tons of work to do though and i'm determined to plug some leaks.
Something i worked on today was playing ultra-positionally, for a 4hr session, i played 55/45ish on the button and ~16/16 UTG. That's pretty different to how i normally play but it was pretty good, definitely made me realise i could open up on the button tons.
When i've been playing poker this week, for some unknown reason, i've kept this picture open all the time [4 tables makes one of my screens somewhat redundant]. I can't tell you why but I find it really funny:
