February was a good month....March rough start

So February was my biggest month since last June and my biggest month on-line since pre-Black Friday. I am especially pleased with on-line results since I am playing smaller games due to the uncertainty surrounding iPoker and my unwillingness to put much dough on the sites. Obviously both the cash games and the tournaments are over super small samples but I'll take it.



Cash...almost all PLO and PLO8...again small sample but only 3 down days is ok..amirite?



In addition to these results, I received $255 in rakeback and was up nearly $1,600 in live games. The live games were primarily the result of 1 massive night in a 1/2 PL mixed game where I believe I had one of my biggest winnings ever in terms of number of buy-ins won. All adds up to a nice $3,500+ month.

Then the calendar turned to March. Supposedly it comes in like a lion and I can confirm...



Sexy first 5k hands, eh? Anyway March better sure as fuck go out like a lamb.

I will be playing a limited schedule this month due to work getting chaotic. I am going to play a few of the Poker Maximus Series events on Merge. So far their fields have gotten pretty good numbers through the first handful of events. The reality is though that these events are still smaller than the nightly events I used to play pre-BF.

On the live front, I am going to play at least 1 PLO event at Delaware Park and maybe the Heads-Up event. The latter has a pretty shitty structure so I may skip. This series could be really, really good with a little better planning. I believe they need to up the buy-ins a bit and have a group of "Championship" events. There are 5 or 6 events that should be in any series with a bit higher buy-in (maybe $450 or $550). These would be:Main Event
  • 6 max NLHE
  • Heads Up
  • PLO
  • Omaha Hi-Lo
  • HORSE
As it is the series includes a bunch of $120 and $150 buy-ins which I couldn't be less interested in driving an hour to attend.

Anyway...Good luck in march.

What site(s) are you playing online now? I haven't played a single online hand since it all got shut down.

I have a couple casinos about 20 minutes away, but I never seem to find the time to go.

On Lock Poker...It is nothing like the old days but scratched the itch for a few hands. I keep very little money on there due to the uncertainty of it all.
