Week Nine Wrapup
As concerned as I was the last two weeks, I'm now just as excited. I'm running good. Of the seven days of my week (Tuesday to Monday), I booked winning days on six of them, for a week $1137 to the good. Even in my live play, I was able to pitch marginal hands and play good hands and good draws.
I'm still not sure whether this is entirely due to tweaking my game. It might just be a run of good cards. But, as it's been pointed out, I am playing more tightly. Staying away from hands likely to be second best has cut down my variance a lot, and most days lately my bankroll sees a fairly steady build. I even did a $1000 cashout just before I left for Toronto, my first in a while. My plan is to make my next cashout when my PartyPoker bankroll hits $4000, and draw $2000. If I continue to run this well, that should be in about two weeks.
There's still a tweak I want to make regarding playing drawing hands. I think I might still be playing them a little too liberally. Even though you'll hit a nice flop about as often whether you play a suited connector or one-gapper (eg, 87♥ or 86♥), the difference is significant between the two, and I need to monitor if I'm playing one-gappers too loosely. And it wouldn't be a bad thing to monitor whether I'm playing all the drawing hands, up to and including AK suited, too loosely.
