So like a lot of things I kinda forgot/got lazy with this blog. I wanna start it back up again, and hopefully keep it goin semi regularly.

On the real life front, school just started up for me on Thursday. Im in my 4th and probably last year at UCLA. I have a pretty heavy class schedule for this quarter and also the rest of the year and Ill still probably have to take a session of summer school to get enough units to graduate.

As for poker, my last couple months has been super swongy. Ive been playing a bit of everything, HUNL, 6max NL, 6max PLo and some MTTs, and none have gone particularly well. One thing Ive been thinking about is the amount of tables I play. Looking back on the last year or so when Ive gotten pretty serious about poker, I have continually tried and tried to become good at mutitabling, basically trying to play more than 4 tables of 6max or 2 tables of HU. But over and over, I basically have all my worst sessions come from the times I try to 8 table, or 4 table HU, and all my best sessions come form when I 4 table 6max or 2 table HU.

Its actually extremely dumb of me to not have noticed this before, looking back its pretty ****ing evident that I tilt way way more when I play a ton of tables, and I spew waaaaaaaaay more when im playing a lot of tables. I dont necessariy have answers to why this is true, but it seems to be over a pretty big sample. I used to think that I was just running bad when I chose to 8 table and it didnt work out, but Im pretty sure it was me just overwhelmed

Soooo for the rest of 08 IM gonna make a rule for myself to not play more than 4 tables of 6max or 2 tables of HU at the same time. Ill give it the 3 months and see if Im any happier with my results. I feel like if I play less tables, than I can achieve almost the same theoretical Hourly by just playing higher stakes, playing higher quality poker, and also improving at a faster rate. We will see I guess

Im also gonna try to put in more hours actualy playing. I defintely spend way too much time watching videos, reading forums and talking on aim. I think I should be able to play 3-4 hours a day while Im in school no problem, giving me somewhere around 1k hands a day

As of now I got monies on a bunch of diff sites so Im gona do my best to game select pretty hard, and take some shots whenever I see super soft games

since this blog seems super boring with all this writing, Ill post the biggest pot Ive played at PLO so far(playing 1/2 for the most part)
