Whats happening guys
Sorry about the huge delay in blog entries. I purchased a new laptop from Dell just before i started playing poker again. Its nothing special to be perfectly honest but its a huge improvement on my old one. Its exactly 4x powerful and higher spec then my old one but certainly aint a monster of a machine if you know what i mean. Anyway i started playing poker and slowly getting back into things then about a week into my return things started to go wrong,
1. Sound would stop after the machine was on for a while
2. It would randomly make a “poppin” noise directly below the keypad?????
3. On start up always perform disk checks for consistancy
4. Always pick up windows updates, install them, restart itself then #3 would happen and then on reboot the same updates would be there
I eventually done a reformat on the machine and to cut a long story short the exact same thing happened again. Eventually got it sent back to dell and a new one sent out to me, it took over 3 weeks from the sending date to get the machine back onto my lap. I managed to blag an extra £100 off the machine aswell as a harddrive upgrade so not all is too bad i guess.
Obviously my hands for the month took a huge loss but to be honest i used it to my advantage. Having been away from poker for almost a year i had lost alot of my edge and ev shall we say, i remembered some of the basics but the quickness and sharpness went away. I was playing utter shit and getting owned by the begginners at 10NL. At least im man enough to admit it lol.
I went on a huge 9buy in downswing. Actually i cant even call it a downswing. It was just spew. So whilst my computer was getting sorted i dug out my old desktop. Pentium 1 flex... yeah baby!!!!!! I went onto fulltilt and purchased a 24hour pass on CR. I managed to watch a few video’s but not many. But then i got offered a 7day trial after and i gladly accepted. I watched all the 2 series by verneer on low stakes, and a new instructor who i had never seen or heard of before. Citizenwind. I like his videos alot and i seem to concentrate and take alot of “it in” so to speak.
Now after watching 3 series of videos i feel alot more comfortable again at the tables and my results on the last 2 days have shown this.. could just be variance and a small upswing but i feel my play is alot more better and i thinking alot more rather then just ABC.... im hoping may will be an excellent month for me and that i can really kick on now after that false start. On the 12th its my birthday ill be 25. God i feel old :(. Im going away to Malia in Greece to “have it up” 7th-14th so im looking forward to that and getting lashed and having a great time.
Anyway heres 2 graphs.... before the videos with laptop 001. And after the videos with the return laptop 002 :)
Notice a difference? Small sample i know but im getting back into the swing of things :) them videos have really helped... ive really got to sign up to DC or CR... just things are abit tight at the moment. but fingers crossed it will be this month sometime....hope everything is going well for all you readers at the tables. im surprised some of you still actually have this linked up still.
