I'm off to a very strong start in January. This is a bit of a suprise because my volume has been seriously slashed. Playing less and winning more is always fun, yet feels somewhat strange. The lowered volume has had nothing to do with how much I've won. It just worked out that way. Last week I only played 24 hours and won over $1700. My younger brother was visiting during the weekend so I just wasn't planning to play over 25 hours either way.
I want to really aim to play at least 35 hours during each of the next two weeks. This would result in at least 140 hours played for January which isn't terrible. My win-rate seems to take a hit when I put in over 160 hours.
Borgata's winter poker open is now in town which always makes for increased action on the cash tables during every day of the week. I've decided to not even enter one tournament this time around. No lottery tickets for me this time....
I'd normally at least play the first event, but screw it. I'm doing so well on the cash tables right now that I don't want to screw anything up. This could be my best month ever, now is not the time to lose focus on the real grind because I want to try to bink a tournament.
