Cliff Notes on YEAR 2022 results:

--- Ran/Played very well in November and December, with the end result that 30 of 41 playing sessions during that period were winning ones.
--- Exclusive of High Hands and other promotions, I was able to rally back to under $1 loss per hour played.
--- Benefits from High Hands and other promotions were great, allowing me to come away with an overall profit of a few dollars per hour.

During 2023, I need to focus on moving my <$1 per hour loss rate to the positive side. It is highly doubtful I can duplicate the High Hand and other promotion benefits from 2022.

Best of Luck to everyone on the felt!

There is a relatively new poker book out by Evan Jarvis...which I recommend highly.

let's take a walk together near the ocean shore.....

after a series of doubles, graveyards, pick up and overtime shifts estrella and i finally kickoff a belated valentine's weekend carbing up at fabios italian restaurant, just furlongs from the gates of the hell that could have been heaven, hollywood penn national.

suddenly the restaurant gets quieter than an old ef hutton commercial as an inquisitor approaches the table seeking (imo bad) news about pen great the lion.

no prophet is accepted in his own hometown but i send our friend away disappointed as i reveal that the lion is still rolling up weekly online victories on both mgm and world series of poker and has numerous atlantic city trips already booked for the coming months!!

estrella and i are carbing up for our own atlantic city trip the next morning. it will be a day trip to walk the boardwalk, eat at the irish pub, and hopefully see kool & the gang if my caveman technology skills can get the ticketmaster app to work!!

maybe we will even squeeze a little poker in?

it's a beautiful february day and we make excellent time, even through philadelphia! we park at ocean and make a beeline for tropicana where i kickoff 2023 with some 1/2 no limit action!

at first it's looking like it may be ladies night as AK falls to a set of queens. maybe the action at this table is just too hot?

but we hang in there and when a set of buffaloes comes we get our backs up off the wall, take a chance, and get down on it. and if i can get that damn app to work we'll soon be having a victory celebration!

thank you for reading!

game +27 (1/2)
year +27 (1-0)

Always looking to improve. Just purchased this book. Thanks for the recommendation and heads up!

Cliff Notes on 2023 Year-To-Date results:
--- Doing very well so far, but will be hard pressed to continue at this rate.
--- Logging insane amount of playing hours. On target to hit fifth straight month with 100+ playing hours per month. (Motive: Earns monthly bonus).
--- Unexpected favorable family situation resulted in another driving trip to Florida in late January for poker and horseracing. Subject trip included first-time visit to the Hard Rock Tampa poker room.
