Oooo wouldn't that be just awesome if i could do that! Yay, go me!
Pokerwise, due to popular demand, the crushing part has been postponed for a few days, I've not been getting much to play, missing flops by so far I may as well be on another site, blah blah and all that yawn stuff ...
and then when I do ...

Shame, they were aggro whales to; must have gone for a beer in this one.
The month isn't starting off too great but not losing much and playing ok so not bothered. I'm trying to get those over-aggro games sorted out, I think if I can get those I'll be fine, I can cope with the rest of the reggy stuff. Those games where a 3bet may as well be a limp and you will
not be flatting a raise in these games in MP/CO unless you're trapping! Insane stuff, very frustrating sometimes when getting weaker parts of my range, but fun trying to get a handle on them nonetheless.
Also, having trouble getting to grips with combos but I can take my time there, not really needed very often at this limit even if they are useful for river bets/bluffs etc. I'll get there before I move up to nl50 ... I hope!
May Goals:
1. Give up drinking alcohol by the end of the month.
I have a big belly and put on loads of wieght and now my clothes don't fit anymore. This from a former decent athlete who weighed in at a mighty 9st 4lbs and 5ft 11in at his fittest and now is around 13.5st. My mate used to say when I stood in from of a window on a sunny day I looked like an X-Ray.
2. Get combos - at least the basics - committed to memory.
I tend to learn 5 things today and forget 3 tomorrow, so having to put some effort into this one.
3. Try to be able to play nl20 without prescribed ranges or HUD, play the table, play the opponents.
If it's good enough for my coach, it's more than good enough for me to at least try.
4. Be a little more agressive with preflop 3betting etc.
Been at nl20 long enough now after a feww weeks, so I should find this bit a cakewalk, we'll see, I'm naturally risk averse so it's a fight.
That should be enough to keep my brain cell occupied for now. Nothing spectacular, just grinding away bit by bit on improving.
Have fun people.
