Mid-Summer Update
Poker has been ok to fair (I've been running sorta bad to breakeven). This is mostly due to my decision to learn to play shorthanded poker. I started playing the 1/2 6-max at party but quickly graduated to the 2/4 6-max at UB and the 3/6 at paradise. These games are a little more challenging (especially the paradise 3/6) but have found them to be beatable. I still have much to learn about shorthanded strategy, but I've become a much stronger post flop player thanks to the expereince playing short-handed. I'll be returning to my regular 3/6 and 5/10 games within the next couple weeks and (once I build up the bankroll a little) will feel confident moving into the 5/10 6-max at Party.
The challenge is still going, although I'm well behind pace at this point due to my decision to learn the short-handed game. At this point it's sorta pointless because barring a huge rush (HUGE) I won't get anywhere close to my original goal. I don't really mind, I've really enjoyed playing shorthanded and am a better player for it.
Hope everyone is having a good summer. Peace.
