Hold'em Manager

Not been able to play any poker past week between work and my parents are over visiting me, so I want to spend a few hours with them.

I would like to recommend, however, this software

Hold'em Manager

it is a beta from some guy,rgv @ 2+2 has good filters and reports still importing all my 1 million mined hands.

Going to miss my targets miserably this month, I have played less poker this month than I have in past year. My be lucky to get bronze this month on my Iron Man Challenge.

Need a holiday as well maybe thinking Malta or Fuertaventura, fancy somewhere quieter than the large tourist resorts.

Will play Hands next week

Hands have been going pretty good for me and been winning only one hand that bothered me.

My main question here is cbet or not. If I don't he will try to take the pot away too many times I think, but will he ever fold. This has to be a RR preflop even just to deny him set mining odds

2nd hand from Sundays blog guy flipped over 84o for the boat. Guess 2 pair on the flop was worth a call and see if I bet the Turn.

It Begins

Hey folks I need to start my blog somewhere and at some time so I guess I got to just do it. My blog will be mainly about poker.

I have been playing for about 2 years and concentrating on 6 max since March. I recently moved onto the 50NL games with a BR just above 1k. Maybe some would say that 20 buy-ins is top little but I feel I can move down if my game is bad and/ or replace a smallish bankroll.

Started my Bankroll with just $10 I had in my account after withdrawing all my funds just before Christmas. I hope to be at $200nl by January 2008. Next month (July) I want to play 25k hands and run at 3 ptbb /100, rinse and repeat in August and move up to $100nl hopefully with a decent winrate.

I am mainly playing on Full Tilt, but will bonus whore around the good sites especially when I can beat the 100nl games.

I play under the screen name "Phantom Aces2" so say hello if you see me.

I will post more as it happens so bye for now.
