Sup guys, time for a mid-April poker update. This month has been pretty lame as far as results go. I'm stuck about 1500 on the month. I haven't been playing particularly good or bad. I did make one really dumb river fold in a spot where it was a clear call and cost myself a 3k pot. So tack 3k onto my totals and I'd be up a little bit overall.

Here's what April looks like on my spreadsheet:

My average session length for this month looks very high at 8.4 hours per session, compared to my YTD average of 6.95 hours per session. That's because last week was my wife's spring break so I didn't have as strict of a schedule to adhere to from the 1st-7th. This month has been pretty laid back so far because of it as well, as I took Easter off and then played Mon and Tues, followed by Wed/Thur off. I'll be back at it tonight and tomorrow night though.

I didn't count Easter as an extra day off since it's a holiday, but technically it'll be 3 days off this week, and will shorten my overall days of play for the month. Even so I think I will manage to get in 150 hours, and hopefully 160. I'm at 58.75 hours now with 18 days left including today, so if I play 12 out of the 18 days I'll need to average 7.6 hours per session to get to 150. If I stay at my 8.4 hour rate I will just barely hit 160. So hopefully everything falls nicely into place and I can wrap this month up with a little upswing to get back on pace with my Challenge.

I'm 37.4% of the way there, but I only have about 32% of the time left to get there. I'll be grinding hard these next two weeks and do a last month breakdown of how likely I think I am to get there in my last month. Wish me luck!

Keep on grinding Blogfans

Anyone hear of many stories of people getting robbed/jumped/jacked after leaving a casino?

I've wanted to go to the local casino for awhile, but I don't feel safe going to a casino by myself, even if all I would be playing is 1/2 and leaving with $100 in profit for example.
My worry is that there's always someone who'll do anything for a dollar.

I'm not scared of people, but when it comes to money, people will do some crazy things.

Obviously there's been people who have been robbed outside of a casino, but I'm just curious of how many times you guys hear of these stories. Small and big stakes.

Depends on where you play, middle of London, there's a camera watching everything, feels pretty safe to me.
