thakilla's blog: September 2009
http://thakilla.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 1, 2009. I read another poker player's blog and someone he respected had suggested that he keep a notebook on his desk so that he could record notes after each session and then review them before starting his next session. It seemed like such a novel idea to me that I began to keep one myself.and then I thought "wait a minute, I am already supposed to be doing that in my blog! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

thakilla's blog: Another May goals update....
http://thakilla.blogspot.com/2010/05/another-may-goals-update.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Another May goals update. 1 Play 120 hours of online cash games. 2 Play 50,000 hands. I have played 32,017 hands so I am slightly ahead of pace to reach this goal. 3 Review/analyze at least 10 regular players games to help me improve and exploit them. I suck. I have still done zero. Having to admit this sucks, but I could definitely be working on my game away from the tables much harder than I currently am. (Note to self.really do this! 4 Make $12,000 .

thakilla's blog: April 2010
http://thakilla.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Even a beaten man can still ride a bike. I made a valiant effort and if I count rakeback I actually did have a winning month. That being said, I feel really good about my game and I am fully expecting a fantastic May.one where I do something crazy like win every day or put some crazy long stretch of winning sessions together. I haven't done that in a while and I feel like I am poised to have one of these runs. Thursday, April 1, 2010. Not much to report. First you pay actual ra...

Thursday, April 1, 2010. Not much to report. First you pay actual rake and then the government rakes what is left.that hardly seems fair. So even though I haven't been doing as well as I would like, I can hold my head high knowing I have paid my taxes and I am still plugging away. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

thakilla's blog: July 2009
http://thakilla.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. Well that didn't last long. I totally didn't stick to my goals.I immediately saw a fish playing 3/6 PLO and jumped right into the game like an idiot. The good news is I crushed it! Wednesday, July 29, 2009. I haven't done this in a while (goals). I just got really sidetracked while writing this and I really don't feel like writing anymore. I was going to say why goals are so awesome, but you get the idea anyway. 1 Play only $200 PLO until I win 15 buy-ins. Friday, July 24, 2009.

thakilla's blog: Live session: thoughts on a hand.
http://thakilla.blogspot.com/2010/05/live-session-thoughts-on-hand.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. Live session: thoughts on a hand. Sometimes, you will play a hand that will totally crush your spirits and send your game/confidence in a downward spiral and it can take a while to recover from these types of hands. However, there can also be hands that can have opposite effect. I am hoping I played one of those hands tonight. Here is the self made hand history and then I will explain some of my thoughts on it. I have 2h 2d utg. Utg plus 1 raise to 40. Flop 2s Ah 9s. View my compl...

Blogging breeds more blogging and I'd like to do a better job of updating my blog so I am going to force myself to write this entry while I can't sleep.also it will allow me to waste time instead of packing and doing a bunch of other crap that I need to get done before I get on my flight in 8 hours. Good night and get to work before your competition passes you by. Monday, November 16, 2009. John and Janie holding Conner, Jan's youngest kiddo:. A group phot...

http://thakilla.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 14, 2009. With a 1 day total of $11,578. There was only one hand that I did anything other than what I consider straight forward ABC poker and it resulted in one of the biggest hands of poker I've ever won. I made a quick note on my phone after it happened so I could re-evaluate my play later. Here is my homemade hand history:. Ad5d in SB w/$4,800 starting stack. Raise to 80 2 callers. I Raise to 440 1 caller (cutoff). Flop Ah 9c 3c. I tanked and check called $1k. Insta muck from C/O.
