Writing…..Something that I think that I would like to do more of.

However life gets in the way. I have a few interesting web products on the go that I would like to get finished, and of course my main goal for my online presence is to make money.

That all said, I am liking this writing thing. I am really starting to enjoy building content for my site. I was relying on outsourcing it, however that said, the quality was really laking. So now I still have the new content that is written by others, but now I am using it for ideas more than anything, and at the most using the articles that I am getting, usually 300 words, for forum posts.

Now the problem that I am having is that I am realizing that making money simply from writing is going to be VERY hard, and to write a good article takes a lot of time. But I am going to be do most of my own writing on a couple of sites/blogs that I have started. This is going to be one of my outlets, and over at the forum that is the constant bain of my online life I am going to continue to write worthwhile posts. It is a great, general purpose place to write what I want.

Let me know what you think about my writing.

Since we are still in the beginnings of December I think that I should get some poker goals out of the way so that when January comes around I will have something to come back to.

Well the first thing is that I am going to be sticking with full-ring .25/.50 limit at PokerStars. There should be less variance in this play and I should be able to build my bankroll somewhat. Currently it sits around $80.

My hands-played goal is going to be a measly 1500 hands. This should be easy, but December is a very busy month. So 1500 hands I hope to build my bankroll to $100. It doesn’t sound like much but if you looked at my last two graphes you will see that December has not started out too good.

The only other goal is to re-read a couple of poker books that I own. I will talk more about this later this week.

Well it is one nasty night here. The first real snow storm of the year, so since I couldn’t leave the house I decided to play some of the poker, again on PokerStars.

I played three table sessions in all, so the sessions that I mention in the titles of these threads are really my sit-downs at the computer to play.

The first two sessions I played went alright. I lost some, in one and ran really bad at the end of one.

The first session I played about 116 hands and lost about 10.5BB. This is the session that I had two really bad hands near the end that put me on tilt. One was my KK versus AA on a completely raggedy board and the other was someone calling all raises pre flop, flop turn and river when I had flopped the nut straight and s/he had runner-runner flush.

Anyway my second session ended a bit better, I had made a couple of major mistakes and was down to 3BB when I started at 20BB, but made it back so that my net was only negative 1.5BB when I finished after 104 hands.

FOr my final session of the evening. After taking a break to charge my phone, call the ‘rents and do some dishes I played another short session while waiting for a good show to come on TV. In this session I played 40 hands and came away with 10BB in the black.

So over all today was a loss, but only about 2BB

What I learned is that I really have to keep the number of hands that I play down, pre-ferably at 25% when I am playing full ring. A lot of people may think that is too tight, but at the low limits that I am playing, when you do hit a hand you WILL get paid off.

Here is a plot of how I did.

It is made with PokerGrapher, which is an addon that you can get for PokerTracker. Both great investments if you are looking to find holes in your game, or if you are simply a stats junkie
So now I think that I am going to go off and before I hit the hay, do some reading in Super System 2 and see what Jennifer Harmonhas to say about getting me better results at Limit holdem.
