This month I am going for volume. I think I need to know what it is like to be a real poker player, and I have been getting very disconcerted with short term results in the past. Nothing like volume to assure you that people will be giving you their stacks if you play long enough. Amazingly, I will be at 10k hands by the end of the day without any rush poker at all. I am currently in the middle of an 8 BI downswing. I tilted off 3 BI so far, but am getting a handle on that. I was happy to see I had about 3 BI in rakeback already for the month, so I shipped it so I can feel good about my br and know that I am close to break even after a week.

It is kind of a make or break month for me with poker. I will decide if I am continuing at all at the end of the month. Partially that has to do with how much money I make, if any. Partially that has to do with if I think I will like the volume and deal with the grinding life. We'll see.

I haven't been nearly as active in the small stakes forum as a result of my drive to make 40k hands by the end of the month. Sorry.

In other game-related news, I totally pwned my family at Disney Princess Junior Monopoly. (Small possibility that I just ran good.)

Play well. Do good work. Keep in touch.
