The year 2012 is oddly enough already one-third complete. That went quick!
Since dropping back to mid-stakes I’ve been fortunate to go on an upswing, up just over 3.5k in 35 hours. Best to enjoy run-goods while you can. Despite some serious swings I finished the month up just over 5.5k. April also marks the sixth consecutive month I’ve logged a net profit live.
During April I logged 68.5 hours of play at 5/10, and 62.5 hours at 2/5. I won a lot more at 2/5. I ended up getting hammered towards the end of my 5/10 sessions, sputtering to only up +1200 total on high stakes for April.
I’m happy I dropped back to mid-stakes for now. The game seems even easier after coming from 5/10. It’s also less stressful playing with a ridiculous 75+ BI bankroll. I’ve been much more focused since dropping. Now I have a clear goal to work towards, which is getting back to high stakes asap. So yes, every 2/5 session still feels very important to me. I’m playing solid poker and not making mistakes.
The stretch ahead is important. I’m definitely planning another 5/10 shot around early June (when the next tournament comes in town). We will see.
