My Best Month Yet

I just had the best month in poker yet. I started the month alright, but I think I had some major leaks in my game. I had sort of forgotten how to play solid poker. I had the right reads, but I was fighting for too many pots and making too many bluffs that people would never believe.

And then I went on tilt one day. Almost all my tilt was on a single day. You can see the red in the 2/4nl and the HU tables. I was playing against an overaggro donk, and he kept on sucking out on me in the big pots, and sooner or later, I was down about 1,500 to him.

After that ass whooping, I took a break and reevaluated my game. I went back through all my poker tracker hands to see what I was doing. I have to say, I'm pretty proud of how I recovered. The next step is to not have these blowups in the first place.

The fact that I only started playing poker this month after June 12th is pretty cool, too. Hopefully I'll carry over what I learned this month over to the next couple months and I'll have a monster summer.

I'd also like to mention that I started playing MTTs again, and I've also taken one down this month. MTTs are fun.




Here's a graph of my month. You can see where I start tilting.


Well I'm off to go home to Jakarta, Indonesia now. I don't know how much poker I'll be able to play there. The internet there was so shitty the last time I was there it tilted me to try and play. Hopefully I won't forget how to play again.
