GooT October!!!

By: Dirty donkey
Published: Nov 3rd, 2008
so i joined P5's at the end of sept... started asking Questions and posting some HH for help where i thought my game online was leaking badly...
my goal for the month of October was to take my small BR and gind as much as i could for the month to see if i was able to improve my MTT game..my results according to OPR were....
Prizes profit ROI ABI AFS R/A ITM ITM%
$354 $183 106% $2 1433 1% 28/76 37%

i went 18/33 in 45 $1 sngs with 3/3/2 was pretty good missed some chances to win more but did well. happy with my play def improved my short stack play +EV!!

i was 2/8 in 180s and shipped my first 180 for $216 sweet feeling
i was only 8/32 in big MTTs with an avg. field of 3k+ and negitve ROI.... this kinda disappointed me in that i was never able to FT any of these and just seemed to fade toward the money bubble....so my work is far from done!!!

I still need to learn how to accumulate more chips as i get deeper into the big MTTs and it would be nice if a hand would hold up 3hrs+ in some of these!!! but much work is needed....

overall i am happy with my play in October....i stayed within my BR and took a few shots at bigger buyins with no fourtune in hitting a big one...but its always fun to try! :)

so plan for November is to work on my large field MTTs and figure out how to open my game up and make strong pushes to the FT and not fade the way i did in October....so i plan to open my range up a lil bit after the 1st hr and work on some 3betting with weaker hands and some stop and gos from the blinds...i think i float well just pick some bad spots....better timing and aggression after the 1st hr.

still going to grind the $1 45 Mans they seem to keep my roll healthy and contribute to my short stack game, while i work on my Large MTT game....also i plan to play more 180s this month to work on different skill sets nearing the bubble, since the payout is a lil better in these mid field events i think they may be more useful to practice in the 180s.

Also tossing in some games other than NLH seem to keep my mind fresh, playing some PLO, LMO, 8 game and HORSE seem to make my overall play better....Gotta keep Poker fun, not just a grind!

Any way November started off well with a cash in my first MTT in the $2 PLO8 tourney *43rd outta 675 and a 4th in my 1st $1 45 this month. Things are lookin good for this month too...So thanks to my fellow P5ers, some of the holes in my game have been tightend up no wi seem to have found some new ones so more questions to come....GL and hope everyone runs well through the rest of the year..exp DrtyDonkey54!! ha L8!
