It feels like a good time to make a comeback on the blogging scene. 2012 has been an exciting year and a lot has been going on. At the outset of the year I set myself a lofty goal of making $100,000 - I feel like it's good to have goals to work towards and to set high standards.
January was a great month. In the space of a week I had three $6k+ MTT scores - getting 2012 off to a flying start! Bearing in mind that I sell a lot of my action, I didn't get to reap the full rewards of these profits but still enough to make it - by far - the best month of my poker career. I also had the satisfaction of knowing that I had made my friends and investors a lot of money too.
My MTT results have been improving all the time and I think that's in no small part down to the fact that I've worked really hard on my game, putting in a ton of hours playing tournaments. I've also spent a lot of time discussing hands/strategy, etc with my buddies in our Skype group. We have a select group of pro and semi-pro players, who are all working together to improve their games and it's just nice to have people to talk to and share things with as poker can be a stressful and challenging enterprise. My top five MTT results have all come in 2012 so I know I'm heading in the right direction. The next step is to have a five figure score - I know it's only a matter of time.
The tournament scene is buzzing right now, with SCOOP.fr and Winamax events on going. I'm hoping to have a great couple of months before the WSOP in June. SCOOP in May will obviously be a big deal for everyone and I'm excited to see the final schedule for it. I'm also looking to get in some good volume at the cash games tables. I played 10/20 PLO8 for the first time at the weekend and enjoyed a good session. Just gotta stay focused and disciplined and the results will keep coming :)
Next week I'm off to Nottingham for the £1m guaranteed UKIPT event. I'm looking forward to playing a big live event again - it's been a while. There's a good schedule of events so will be starting up with a turbo on Thursday night, nice warm up for Day 1C on the Friday. Hopefully I'll get a big stack going and go on a hot streak.
That's it for now. Ciao folks.
