Oops, No Title

Sippin and I mutually agreed to cancel the prop bet. We were both over 1200 games away from our respective goals, so it was a fairly fine note to agree to end on.

With that ended I've been taking some time off DoNs and SNGs in general. I've decided to get very serious about cash games. The money I put on FTP was for that purpose and I've been logging hands there lately. I've logged about 8500 hands so far and have been having nice results, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking I'm a cash crusher. I'm barely a student of the game at this point.

I'm seeking out every source of free learning information I can. This includes 2+2, blogs of successful players, reading material I have on hand, etc. Training videos are also an option. I'll consider coaching once I get to a certain level most likely.

For now I'm going to be trying to get in a better sleep schedule, a more consistent eating schedule, use my free time more productively towards learning things -- poker or otherwise. Poker will be key for a large part of the next two months.

I'm going to look at some sites and consider moving to a location with higher rakeback. A lot of the Euro sites have 40-60% rakeback, which would essentially double my rakeback earn that I'd be getting at FTP. Assuming I can still maintain my volume of play at another site and can play well there, it just makes good sense to try and increase my earn in every regard possible.

Goals for the day are to watch a video or two, start reading one of my cash game books, find a site with a 55%+ rakeback, decent traffic, playable software, and at least weekly rakeback payments. I'd also like to book a solid 2500 hands today or so.

I'm locked in with Platinum for the month at Stars, barely. Next month the goal will be to ship Nova finally. I'm less than securing Platinum away from securing Nova, and to lose Plat and get Nova in December would sort of suck 'cause I'd be getting fewer FPPs while doing it, so November seems the answer.

How I'll be finishing off Nova is yet another mystery. I don't have a large roll online anymore and would rather not having to spend a ton of hours at $5 DoNs to rebuild and go from there. I may work on building my cash roll and get it to a point where I could maybe move enough of it over for a bit to lock in Nova at Stars via cash. Nothing is decided, though.

So with the day's goals in mind I'm going to set out and do some site selecting and watch a video or two.
