Uneventful poker weekend
I put in quite a few hands this weekend. I think I ended up about even for the weekend. I had a lot of sessions where I just didn't get anywhere and it seemed like every winning session was canceled out by a losing one.
I'm still playing mostly $2/4 NL and $3/6 NL while working on building a MASSIVE roll for $5/10 NL. As many of you know, I like to mix it up and play on all four major poker sites: PokerStars, FTP, Cake, and UB. I have the roll to play $5/10 NL no problem when you add all the rolls from the sites up, but I want to pad each individual account a bit more before I move up. It really sucks having a bad day and seeing like 20% of the roll on one particular site vanish.
Cashing out for a big down payment on my house that I bought at the end of January really set me back. I had about 2-3 months in a row before then where I was beating $5/10 NL for a pretty good clip. Oh well... I should be back up soon. I'm going to shoot for a target date of June 1, which is a little over a month away. My goal will be to have 100 buyins online before I move up.
Once I get back to $5/10 NL I'm going to work on building an "offline roll." This roll will be used for live poker as well as kept aside for a potential doomsday online poker scenario. I will cash out anytime I'm over 110 total buyins online. The cashout money will be put towards my "offline roll" until I have $50k set aside.
So once I have those two goals accomplished, I'm going to work on paying off my house. Ideally, I'd like to get that done with by the end of the year. I definitely think that it's possible.
After all that, I'm going to start reloading money back into my investment fund. I had to take a little bit out of there for taxes and a few other various things, so I don't have as much in there as I did a few months ago.
I think having these goals will be good for me. The past few months I've felt a little bit aimless and this will give me something to work towards. I'd be really happy with myself if I can look back on this blog post at the end of the year and check all of these things off my list.
