A New Month + Poker/Life Lesson Learned...

Ok, so here's what resulted from my stats review last month:
-In 14 weeks of play I was 7-0 (winning weeks-losing weeks), and 3-4 in the last 7 weeks. sick huh.
-Even sicker, I was +$683.85 in the first 7 weeks, and -$431.95 in the last 7 weeks.
-For the most part, my major stats were the same during both spans of play. The only significant difference I found was an 8% decrease in my Cbet% from the first 7 to the last 7 weeks.

...so here's what I decided to do. I am simply going to step up my Cbetting and see how that goes. Hopefully it works...

Now for the Poker/Life lesson:
I was recently reminded of an important thing to remember when at a poker table. I actually was reminded of this from something that happened to me away from the tables...
When at the tables, always remember that no matter how cool you become with the other players, you are never on the same team. You are there only to GET YOURS, and not help anyone else. You have to just as easily check raise your best friend sitting across from you the same way you'd do to the donkey that everyone hates. The moment you let up or rely on others is when you start leaking chips (or get felted), and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

...So in life, as in poker...It's cool to be nice, but don't hesitate to GET YOURS!

Thanks for the comment on my blog. Ive noticed a few bloggers going through a rough time at the moment.

I do believe that sites play differently. I dont think say 50nl is the same at Absolute compared to ipoker.

I am definately going through the same stage as you, moved BR to a new site and hitting the worst downturn ive seen. Rakeback/bonus keeping me afloat.

Ill definately be following your progress and help where i can.
