snowed in

so i was snowed in all weekend which resulted in lots of poker. i got home friday afternoon and between then and sunday morning i played about 3700 hands which is quite a lot for me. a lot of it was 4 tabling but i ramped it up to 6 tabling later in the weekend. last night i played a bit again and got another 800 hands in or so.

not sure of the net result of the weekend but i did peak at my montly results last night since i was really uncertain where i was at. i knew that sunday morning was a pretty poor session where i got stacked a few times and was involved in some pretty marginal spots. on the contrary my saturday sessions were good and i ran up stacks on most of my tables.

turns out that after about 9k hands this month im down $100 but have a winrate of 2.5bb/100 since i made about $500 when i moved down and played some 100nl. at one point i was down 1.8k on the month but then went down to 100nl and have got it back to even now.

something else i've noticed is that i seem to dial in a lot more on my reads when im playing more tables rather than less. this seems counter intuitive but it the more thats going on, the better i focus and the less i drift off. (i've always thought it was the opposite) the negative to multi tabling that i've felt in the past is that i rush too many of my decisions. i think this all stems from an ADD problem but im no doctor. so i think from now on my main game will be 6 tabling as long as games are good.

i might also take a crack at 9 tabling once in a while but would probably move down in limits before attempting that.

also, i need to collect 200 points a day for the final 9 days of the month to get gold iron man status which in turn will increase my iron man year end bonus so i will be playing everyday for the rest of the year, albeit sometimes just long enough to get the 200 points required.
