March isnt half over already is it???

So I had told myself I was going to blog at least twice a month then somehow the same thing happened and I had hard time keeping up. Just seems this year has been flying by.

I haven’t really broke free yet this year still kind of inching along not being able to piece together good nights. I would love to have a great excuse like I am not playing enough or been short on time. Truth is I have been playing like crap and having a difficult time putting my finger on what the issue is. The problem I have with my style is when it works it looks great, when it doesn’t work; it’s a bit of a mess.

I think one of my biggest issues is just calling off too light and not folding enough when I should be. Either I get too caught up in trying to win a particular hand or I just don’t want to fold when I have some showdown value and I think I could be good. The strangest thing is I am around even on the month even though I feel like I am in my biggest downswing since last year at this time. I am pretty determined to get through this latest downswing by staying positive and keep playing as much as I can.

It has been a little bit tough to put in volume it always seems like something comes up that seems better than playing. I usually do better when I can string 3-4 sessions in a row but it also isn’t easy to pull that off sometimes.

I managed to make it to the Hull Casino to play the Thursday tourney last week. The funny thing is, I have never played live poker there in the 3 years since they have had it. A friend asked me last minute if I would go and even though my first reaction was to say no, I have begun to realize that if I never go out anywhere I am never going to know what the outside of my house looks like. I had a good time at the tourney, I am not a big fan of not coming home after work but it’s difficult to make it to the tourney if I don’t come home so we went for dinner than the tourney. The structure was fast and fun; I couldn’t accumulate any chips but had a lot of fun shoving when it came time. I ended up losing vs. my friend in a huge 3 way all-in with 77, he had 88 and the bb had QQ. The board was J87xx so we had a lot of fun with that one.

Other than poker I am getting pretty excited for our cottage which we basically have torn down and rebuilt into a house. It started as a wider door for the bathroom and one thing led to another lol. Its looking like it will be ready in Mid May and we are really excited. Besides the cottage I am also really anxious for the Sens playoff run to start looking like they will be in tough stuck with Boston in the first round but still not bad for a team picked to finish last.

That is all for now....hoping to write about some big wins before the end of March!
