Fossilkid93's blog

Well, the first half of the year was nothing like what I expected, but I guess there is a damn good reason for that. For those that haven't heard, there was a huge cheating scandal in the double or nothing SNGs on PokerStars. Basically there were about 40 players, all from the area of Wenzhou, China, who were playing these SNGs together and colluding together. When one of the "team" needed chips, then a teammate would fold their BB to that player.

Not a whole lot's changed poker-wise since my last update. I've been playing various SNGs and mostly breaking even, until 2 days ago when I figured out something cool. I can reset the stats on my Sharkscope stats and essentially get a clean slate. So now when you search Fossilkid93 on Stars, you will only find my stats from 2/10/10 onward.

This will be my most serious blog post and I encourage all who read it to post their reactions and insights on the topic. First a quick update to bring everyone up to speed: I had an incredible month of December, my best month ever and it had me very excited about my prospects for 2010 and my goals included making SNE and winning a decent amount at the tables. Well, I ran terribly in January, my first losing month in a long while, and so far it's continued into February.

Well, January was pretty much a disaster all around, the only positive is that I finished with 92,000 VPPs, which puts me a couple days ahead of SuperNova Elite (SNE) pace. I was down close to $8k for the month at one point, but made a nice recovery at the end to cut losses to only $1800ish for the month. It's the first month in which I played 50+ hours that I've finished in the red for quite some time.

I've never been one to stick with a plan for very long. Anyone who knows me well can attest to the fact that I will come up with a great new longterm plan, only to abandon it after only a couple days. Well, last blog I talked about focusing on the $52/54s for awhile, but I've scrapped that and I'm back to $104s!

Hi, welcome to my poker blog. I'll be talking a lot about results at the tables, but I'll also try and include topics like emotional control and bankroll management along the way.
