A break

Posted by giusnun on September 2nd, 2009. Tagged:

Hi friends.
I write this post just to know what do you think about a break. Yes, because today it's the third day I don't play poker and it never happened before...
Simply I have had no time to do it. But there is something more. Days ago, when it happened that I didn't play for just a day, I felt so restless, so eager, so anxious to play as soon as possible. This time is different. I don't feel such a compulsion, and it's strange because exactly now I was doing best (in terms of profit, roi, luck and a-game).
What do you think about that? Do you consider this a form of a reached poker-maturity or what else?
Thanks as usual for your suggestions.

Experimental playing early in the morning

Since 1st of September my wife has come back to her job, so I can't play anymore at my usual schedule (from 10.00 pm to 1.00 am) because, while she does at evening/night what she used to do at morning, I have to take care of our daughter.
So I have decided to make this experiment: for this month I'll put the alarm on 4.00 am and wake up so early to play for 3 hours before going to work.
This is the only schedule I can follow right now and I think that, once I'll get the habit, playing early in the morning will be better than playing late at night, tired after the whole day.
This means, anyway, that I can't play anymore on an Italian poker room (they all are virtually empty in those hours), so I'll come back to my original and favourite poker room: Full Tilt Poker.
I played on it when I first discovered Texas Hold'em and I have lost about 500 € there.
So, the goals of my experiment are:

  1. to play from 4.00 am to 7.00 am
  2. to reach the break even point on Full Tilt

Let's see if I reach both goals within this month.

P.S.: the graph below takes into account sngs only and shows a -400$ profit, but the correct amount is -663$ (taking into account every tourney played).
Fortunately, on Pokerstars.it, my profit is +3907$ (+5800$ including bonus/rakeback).
