On track for best month ever

Things are still going well, on track for my best month ever, without playing that much (30K hands so far). From what I hear, people like to see some hands, so here they are, but first a very sexy graph of this month...and the fun thing is that I'm running exactly around expectation.



How to play aces....

Some nice new gadgets

Finally an update again, but not too much poker this time, because the weather is just too good for poker. One of the advantages of being a pokerpro is that I can decide to take a day/week off when I wake up or whenever I want to. My only goal is basically to make around 100 hours a month or more like 1250 a year.

I also bought some nice new gadgets the last month. Finally bought a flat TV with a nice 2.1 surround set (I hate all those cables for normal sets) and finally a new phone (nokia N82). This Nokia really is a great phone. Especially the combination of GPS (with google maps) and a great internet browser is very useful when you're looking for nice restaurants for example.

Then a little bit of poker....only played 10K hands this month, but I'm up close to 1 cent per hand, so resulst so far are good. For 2008 I'm a little below schedule (My goal was around 0,40-0,50 cent per hand) with 225K hands for around 37 cents per hand.

Finally one tricky hand I played today. Not sure about my river call. Villian in this hand was about 21/15/3 over about 330 hands.
