Busy weeks, been playing more lately and trying to get 200 heads-up games/week in. It's very hard to actaully do this and much easier to say. Playing 9 or even 6 man games is by far easier when it comes to hitting volume when having the ability to play 6-8 tables. I have always played mutiple tables of heads-up but i just feel like my game suffer at more than 2 tables..
I now have two (protage's, if you will) that I am working with at heads-up limit hold'em. I am looking foward to seeing them crush their levels.
Here's my graph for last 500 games.
And overview.
For the last 3-4 days games at $20/$30 have been filling pretty consistantly, I have only had a few $50's however I think thats just becuase I have been playing earlier in the days.
My setup is still not complete, I looked at some 30" monitors that I am considering again however at the price I will be very dispointed if I dont get a few years MIN out of them! The 3 monitor setup is just not as cool.
I have not had Starbucks in 3 weeks now, I purchased an espresso machine for my office and really am very pleased with it. It's a Nespresso so I have to special order the Espresso but it's well worth the price and convienience of having the machine next to my desk, granted I think my Coffee intake has increased to avg 6-7 cups/day..
These are the ramblings of a man spending his days in an underground lair in the desert.

An Update..
Been grinding it out pretty good this month even with everything I have on my plate. poker wise it's been great. Been playing a ton of HU Limit Holder as usual and crushing it as usual. It has been somewhat frustrating waiting for games at the higher stakes. I have taken on a few guys to coach and help out with their games - It also helps me to be able to talk through hands and situations with fellow players so is a win-win!
I broke down and hand to play some live poker a few weeks ago - Was feeling the itch not so much to play live but just to use poker chips vs. mouse.. Was fun for a while however I have discovered a serious flaw in my live game - I have zero patience anymore, used to be that I could sit and play for hours with excellent patience. I guess all the online poker over the last year has stolen that once useful talent, Just like my days at the Wynn I found myself looking for heads-up games vs. anyone waiting to play or trying to convince the floor to allow me to play 2 tables, neither endeavor was successful.
My 30" monitor has been having serious problems lately, screen keeps going black, I power down then turn it back on and the screen returns for 25 seconds then goes black again - annoying! I have not had very good luck with large screen monitors!! Every monitor I ever owned under 26" has never given me one problem. I have decided to multi-monitor and have purchased 3 22's. Hopefully I will be as happy working with these although I miss my giant screen! There are numerous benefits to 3 monitors though so hopefully they will grow on me.
Chris is always on me to blog more for the site, I get it but I just don't have much interesting to blog about - I play poker, everyday.... not much to say past that. I have decided to start writing about my past days of poker debauchery. It's funny to me how much poker has changed in what is a very short period of time.
Makes me feel old to have to write about "back in my day we played stud primarily" ewe!
