March Thus Far

March has been pretty crazy for me poker-wise. I have made more money on the tables and lost more money on the tables than any month before.

I have played 3 levels this month 25NL, 50Nl, and 100Nl.

25NL I have made about $850 (+34 buyins)

50NL I have made about $600 (+12 buyins) (but this sucks as I was up $1600)

100NL I have lost about $800 (-8 buyins)

Now obviously, I have a slight problem playing at the 100NL level. That being said, I was cold decked quite a few times playing there thus the sample is only 2500 hands. And considering a 2 buyin pot which I got my money in ahead atleast twice, would take this -$800 loss and make it a -$200 loss. So that is something to take a bit of solace in.

Anyways, in April I am taking a week long holiday in Tenerife with some friends and the fiancee. I am looking forward to it and I think a week in the sun will be great. So because of that week off, I am considering April already begun with the last week of March making up for that lost week. I have thought about it and I have come up with a type of system I am going to try this weekend.

I am going to play 25NL until I have made $750. If I run cold, then 25NL will be the only level I play. If I can make $750, I will then jump to 50NL. If I run cold at 50NL, ie lose more than $400, I drop back down and recover. If I am able to make $750 at 50NL, I take a shot at 100NL. If I lose more than $400 at 100NL, I drop down and so on.

This may sound too concrete, but to be honest that is what I want. I dont want to play higher to chase losses or because I think I can play well. I want my results to dictate where I play. So 25NL is up first, I hope to hit $750 in about 15 days. I started last night and played for an hour. I was up to $70 but then had KK into AA and QQ into KK. So I only ended up $16. Nothing obviously, but better than losing. Tonight is another night.

Heres to hoping.
