Hello again readers! After a little 6-month hiatus, I’ve decided to start the blog back up. New year, new decade and new goals. 2019 was a busy year for the family and I. My daughter started Kindergarden, I got my MBA, we renewed our lease on one of our cars, and bought another, re-financed our mortgage, started renovating our bathroom, my brother got married and moved to Virginia Beach, Jackie got a new boss, and I now can work from home. Phew! See why I needed a break? I have been playing poker over the past 6 months despite all the craziness in my life, but mostly online. I was making weekly trips for a while to MGM and managed to break even over 7 sessions. The format this year will be a bit different since I’m technically managing two bankrolls (online and live), but I will be combining them when talking about my overall total. It’s winter here in New England and not ideal for traveling to the casino, but I do plan on playing live again in the spring so I’ll be posting my live total as well as my online total. I cashed out all but $60 of my Global roll back in June so I could bank it for live play and have run it back up to over $300 since then. I was actually hoping to start this new year on a positive note by making $100 in the Daily Hundo last night, but instead was blessed with my third 4th place finish in that tourney. I had to settle for $10 instead, but broke even on the week. Here’s where I’m at to start 2020:
Play Money: 67,900,000
Online: $303.58
Live: $2,241.00
Total: $2,544.58
My live roll might be a little higher, but I haven’t been to the bank to see my balance in a while. Should be more accurate next week. The plan this week is to play MTTs on Global Poker. I’ll play the Weekly Bonanza today, the Newsletter freeroll on Tuesday, and the nightly Bonanza, nightly Freeroll, Daily Hundo, and the nightly $3.30 Turbo (no rebuy or add on) for a total of 30 tournaments and $30.98 in buy ins. My rule of thumb this year is to invest no more than 10% of the total online roll in MTTs each week while playing as many tourneys as possible. SnGs and cash games online will take a backseat until I can build the roll a little more. The main goal right now is to get the total bankroll over $4,000 so I can comfortably play $200 cash games at the casino. For online, I’d just like to break $500 in the short-term. Let’s see how this week goes. It’s nice to be back and thanks for reading!
