So I've finally decided to start a poker blog. I've debated doing it for a little while but generally have been to lazy or otherwise unmotivated to do so, but I think overall it'd be beneficial to me to go over some sessions and examine them in greater detail, and obviously writing about them will do just that.
November was a good month overall, I finally got refocused on HU play and played at the level I'm capable of. I didn't really game select, but I limited myself to 2 tables at a time, and I think it really helped.
Now I have to figure out how to get more hands in...
Here's my biggest pot ever: Submitted by : franchise

I decided to take a shot at 100/200. I knew I had only a couple of minutes before someone else sat. Maybe a bit hasty, but good result nonetheless
No concrete goals for December, except trying to keep up this quality of play at 10/20 and 25/50. I'm going to try for better game selection this month, so maybe I can top 100 and buy something nice .
