Well, this is my first blog post on Leggo and recent history does not bode well for regular updates. I've been a member of DC and Cardrunners and had blogs on each of those but I am hopeful that this site will buck the trend.

I'm a 26 year old full time player from the UK. I am currently only playing 100nl after a rough stretch but have a comfortable roll and a great RB deal on iPoker so am hopefully going to be able to move up in September.

Results have not been great of late and they have led me to seek help and re tool my game. I have had a couple of coaching sessions from Harangutang which have been really useful and changed my preflop tendencies somewhat and I really feel that I can begin to beat the games again.

I was winning for a decent clip previously but began to grind too many tables and stopped doing what was winning me money. I have since cut back to 6 tables and am really finding it fun, winning and learning.

As this is an initial blog, I am going to outline a few goals:


go to the gym every day. Monday/Weds/Friday for strength training. Tuesday and Thursday for pure cardio.

Play 2k hands a day, 5 days a week. I am not a really big grinder and setting a larger hands total is just not realistic so this is my bare minimum. 6 tabling I work this out to be about 4-5 hours a day which I can do. I have never played more than 45k hands in a month.

Get better! Sounds simple but a lot of people I know play poker and say stuff like 'I am not playing well today' or 'I don't feel like playing good today'. Why are you playing then? Stop and break or play better. Identify WHY you are playing bad, or if you even are playing bad. Maybe you are just bad. I think being self critical is very important if you want to win at any level in poker.

Update the blog twice a week. Self explanatory and one I will try my best to keep. I'll do general progress and hope to post some hands that I think I played well.

Thanks for reading and you'll here from me again soon, at least once this week!
