First post of 2009.
Thank god that the holidays are over. With overtime at work and running around getting presents for everyone its just too much stress that was unnecessary.
Looking back at my goals for 2008... pfff. Shouldn't even wrote them to being with... lets recap them...
Short and simple...
Poker.
1. Win a MTT 100+ people. Failed, (did win 2 BBT3 tournaments)
2. 1k bankroll. Success (Though it doesnt show online.. I did withdraw money to pay for golf trip)
3. Satelite into a 10k event, WSOP, WPT, whatever. Failed
4. Play more PLO. lovin it. Failed (I did play some PLO, but didnt play that much as i would like)
5. Be more aggressive. Success (At least I thought i was)
6. More smart decisions. Failed/Success. (Certain opporunities presented themselves)
Personal
1. Buy a house Failed (In the process right now, met with the realtor on Saturday, looking at properities on Sunday)
2. Prepare for marriage in Sept. Success (or fail)
3. Be with my son more. Success. Right now he is in a fun age. He is such a tank.
4. Pay off my credit cards. (2) Failed. (So close to having them done)
So I had some success and some fails. I'm happy that i won 2 blogger tourneys. But with my recent move to cash games, well have to see how many tourneys I play in BBT4. I'm guessing that this BBT4 is not for Austrailia Main Event seat.
I think i was more aggressive and did make smart decision, but every situation in poker is different, so I dont know if every situation will every be the exact same. similar but not exact.
My personal goals were somewhat reasonable. Wifey and I are in the process of buying our first home. Met with the realtor on Saturday and after the meeting was done, we both looked at each other and was like "how broke are we!" I know its going to be a lot of work and making some tough decision but its for the better.
The wedding was a great success and such a great time. we are still getting compliments from people who said it was the best wedding they were at.
The boy (Dylan) is getting so big. He is literally a tank and has so much energy. He might force me to get into better shape.
Heres to an awesome and profittable 2009. Good luck to everyone.

Grindin'
Still grindin' cash games on FTP.
I have no interest in tournament and last nights Mookie solidified my decision not to play anymore MTTs. I'm tired of looking for that score. I'm tired of the 1, 2, and 3 outers. I'm tired of donkeys. I'm just tired of it.
I'm offically going to the grind. right 4-tabling full ring cash games. Right now thats all i can handle. I have gone up 6, but with working at home at night 4 tables is the max that will do. I have kinda also set a challenge for myselft as well. Right now i'm playing below my bankroll, I can handle higher stakes but want to start at the bottom and work my way up. I have set levels for myself to know when to move up. So far so good. I hade one losing night but it was for only a couple of bucks
The games are super soft. Softer then any tournament. IMO, all the money is in cash anyway. Maybe that should be the direction of poker. Cash Games.
High Stakes Poker is the best game to watch on TV. Also i saw Poker After Dark, had a cash game. thanks to my son, who decided to wake up at 2am, I was able to watch. The game is deeper, more exciting and it actually shows real decisions. Not math related decisions that happen more in tournaments.
The WSOP and WPT are getting boring to watch. I'm mean I watch, just because i love the game, but ESPN and WSOP, IMO failed with the delay of final table. The WPT is a sinking ship, for chirst sakes, the Borgata, the nicest casino on the East Coast doesnt even want any part of the WPT. Even the Borgata has recognize the decline of tournament poker.
The Borgata is still offering tournaments, but offering guarantees on lower buyin tourneys in the 2k, 3k and 5k range because they know its more managable for people to invest those amounts instead of 10k. and these tourneys are very very very deepstack, so in theory, you are actually playing with a cash game feel and atmosphere.
Overall deepstack poker is just better poker and its going to better the poker community in the long run.

Lately...
Havent posted in awhile....
Work is extremely busy. Leading up to Christmas, this is our business.
"Black Friday" was crazy, so many of partners had huge online deals. Black Friday was surpassed by "Cyber Monday" another crazy day for our parnters.
Here is a blog for a lot of online deals. Check it out, but be careful of the days, some of the deals are only for a couple of days or even hours.
Poker lately has all been cash games. I'm simply bored to death with tournaments. They are long, painful and downright boring. Ever since this rakeback deal that i got thru RakebackPros, I have only been playing cash games.
My game selection is full ring NL Holdem and PLO 6-max. I usually 4 table splitting both NLHE and PLO. Weekdays nights I'm usually on between 10pm to midnight or later. and on weekends on Saturday night and Sunday mornings.
Playing Sunday morning is usually the toughest for me. The tables are packed with non-US players. Their play is always super aggressive its really tough. The softest are usually at night, you can really find some drunk ATMs. Eventually I will have to get PT to really analyze my hands. I only had one losing session so far.
