Stressful Times

So the first 7 days in Whistler have come and gone and poker is kicking my butt...and by kicking my butt I mean I'm not clearing the standard amount of money I've grown accustomed to, not even close!

Before I was sitting $50nl-$200nl heads up cash games and occasionally taking shots at $400nl. So, what do I do when I get to Whistler? Immediately multi-table $400nl. Why not, I was DESTROYING $200nl and beating the crap out of $400nl whenever I took shots at it...so why shouldn't I start at $400nl? ...maybe because I hadn't played online in nearly 2 months due to Black Friday and I was way out of practice.

So what happened? I immediately make $1,000 only to run several buyins below EV that evening and end up in the hole a pretty fair amount. Upon realizing that I've been sitting on the bench ice cold for 2 months and I'm in no position to sit $400nl, I immediately move down to my normal games and squeak out a small profit for the week.

Now, after a week of playing and getting unstuck I'm definitely back at the $60-$70/hour level again and will probably be moving up to $2/$4 by next month and hopefully clearing $100+/hour.

Nick has had better luck. Playing $400nl-$5,000nl heads up cash games, Nick has cleared almost $25,000 in less than 7 days...I should sweat his games more.

GOALS:

Chris
1) $10,000+/month (July excluded since all of our sites aren't funded yet)
2) Run 4 miles per day, lift 6 days per week, eat uber healthy

Nick
1) Clear $100,000 in one month
2) Lift, eat healthy.

I'll try and post some pictures soon!
