Well, this is my last blog post of 2018 and it's nice to be able to report good news. Not only is the bankroll at an all-time high, I also had my best week since I started this crazy quest in May of 2017. Let's begin with online. I changed my strategy last week to include a mix of MTTs and SnGs and it worked rather well. I played four SnGs winning three of them, and had a couple of deep runs in the MTTs. On Saturday I went to MGM Springfield to play some $1/$2 No-Limit. I played for around five hours or so, and only won maybe four or five pots, but they happened to be pretty good sized ones. First, about an hour in I picked up KK under the gun. I made a healthy raise and got one caller. I spiked a King on the flop and filled up on the river and took down a nice pot. Next, I picked up pocket Aces and got all-in pre-flop against KK. The aces held. Finally, I limped in with 33 along with five other players. The flop cam 9-9-4. Everyone checked and a 3 hit the turn giving me a full house. I was able to get one of the fish at the table to come with me till the river where he made a good sized bet. I came over the top of him and he folded (wisely). As I said, I had my best week so far. Here's where I'm at:
Play Money: 14,820,000 Up 787,000
Real Money: $1,445.45 Up $165.37
Target for next MTT level: $1,650 ($33)
Target for next Cash Game level: $2,000 ($100)
Target for next SnG level: $2,200 ($110)
This week I have no plans to make any changes to my strategy. I need to see if this is truly a profitable mix and I figure two more weeks should be enough time. If all goes well, I will increase the amounts and play bigger tourneys. 2018 was a good year for me. I profited around $900, had three successful casino trips, and lots of wins in home games. I'm poised for success in 2019 and am going into the new year playing the best I ever have. Hope you all have a great New Year and thanks so much for all your support!
