Back from holiday

After a week of holiday in Austria Im back to playing some poker again.
So far 2010 is going as ok for me. Played 70k hands so far and won close to 7bb/100.
My goal for this year is to play 1 million hands and keep my winrate above 5bb/100.
I know it's difficult to set winrate goals, cause im still dependant of the variance that could treat me bad, but with such a big sample it should be evened out at the end for the most part.

I'll keep this update short, but Id like some input on some topics I can talk about next time. It can be about strategy or anything poker related. Just let me know in the comments and I'll pick an interesting one to talk about next time.

Some hands to finish this update:

Happy new year

Im so lazy when it comes to blogging.
Everytime I tell me self I should update more frequently, but somehow im just too lazy for it. While with poker im not lazy at all and probably played close to 1 millions hands in 2009.

It was my 'worst' year as pokerpro so far (3rd year now), but I still made a nice profit, but just not what I expected it to be.
It is always difficult to tell why it wasn't so good, but a few reasons are that the tables where pretty bad between march and june and I run pretty terrible as well during that period and probably my game was affected by that.
I also had some computer issues as well. But after holidays in August I recovered quite well. Replaced my harddisk which was broken and bought a 30 inch monitor(played with 2 24 inch before).

Suddenly everything was going smooth again, tables were great, I was running good and made over 100 buyins in 100k hands.
I also played my first live tournament ever (yes I'm a tourney donkey) on Gran Canaria (SPT final). It was a complete failure as I become 60th (out of 97).
I'm just not suited for playing 20 hands an hour, I even could go to the toilet with good timing between 2 hands without missing a hand....

Although pokerwise it sucked, it was very nice to meet a lot of guys I'm playing everyday, so I might visit some other tournaments as well this year, not sure if Im playing though.

Last thing, I found out Twitter (yeah finally) and think it's an easier way to post short updates on poker and other things in life, so guess Im gonna use that (my username is Bldzwttrn, as my screenname on EVP)
It also works really nice on my new Blackberry 9700 with Ubertwitter.
So if you want to add me, please do so.
