Poker Review Month of Jan 2010

I'm gonna just lay down some barebone facts on my month of poker. I now play on 2 poker sites, Poker Stars and Full Tilt. I play much more on Poker Stars as I have a lot more money on the site due to my success last year.

Pokerstars -$ -$648
ROI -21 %
Total Prizes $1,131
Tournaments/Cashed/%/ 21/117 18%
Best Cash: 2nd in $16.50 9pm for $240

Summary: The problem this month on Poker Stars was really simple. Too many days of losing over $100. Even if I'm not winning every day (and face it, no poker player does) minimizing some the losses, whether its by better game selection, better playing, etc. will let those wins really help a lot more. Cashing 18% of tourneys really is not that bad, if I can get up to to 20% in Feb, I think I'll be all right.

Full Tilt $ +$168
ROI 29%
Total Prizes $570
Tournaments/Cashed/% 12/72 17%
Best Cash 7th in Daily Double B for $298

Summary: I'm not worried at all about the 17% cashing on Full Tilt yet, becasue I play a lot of $3.30 90 man ko tourneys on that site, which have way more variance and you can go awhile without cashing. That being said I have busted a few between 10-18th and that has been really frustating. The final table in the Double B was awesome, first was over 2k so that woulda been sweet obv.

Live Poker
DID NOT PLAY
Summary: hoping that changes, but really during basketball season it is almost impossible for me to play a lot of live tournaments.

Month Overall: -$480
2010 Overall -$480
Obviously hoping to turn that around, being single in my own place now will either be really good for my poker game, or really bad. Stay Tuned.
