Another music post ... I'm happier with the way this turned out than the last one ... (other than a crack in the voice here and there and a couple of guitar errors ... bah, I just dusted it off today ;p). I'm using youtube as a forum to see which songs I should keep (and work on), and which I should just ditch.

I really wish the recording could capture how good this stuff sounds in my room. I *&(&@$ love the acoustics in this room. It doesn't get captured, but I'm basically cocooned in the sound.

Anyway ... let me know what you think.

Oh yeah ... fuck poker. Today's fun bankroll devestation included:

3 $50 sng bustouts:
kK<AA (obv.)
AA<57s
AA<JT

Omaha:
JJxx loses on a J57 flop
KQT9 loses on a J83 rainbow flop
one other one that I can't even remember.

For the year I have profited a whopping $800.00 (withdrawn after deposits deducted.) Maybe I'll take up roullette. I'm working FT as of last week, and figure I'm better to do that and keep pokering on the side rather than have the (nice) ups and (ugly) downs of last year. Overall I'm better off ... but man ... working really sucks doesn't it?

Sometimes I spread myself too thin. I'm trying to work FT, play poker PT, keep up at the gym, practice music, study psychology, and I'm looking at taking up a new martial art as well. (Aikido.) With all of that, there's family life too, and trying to keep some semblence of a social life. Suicide ftw? (Tx MVP.)

After some reflection, I'm going to take a couple of weeks off of poker. I've got a few other short-term goals I want to accomplish, and I think poker is just going to be a distraction from those.

When I do come back, (probably around the end of April), I'm going to start on Crypto. I registered with Pokerplex, and they seem to have a good (maybe even better than what I was getting at Prima) RB and bonus deal. Speaking of Prima, I wonder if I'll ever get my money back after the "Tusk" fiasco. I'm not counting on it.

I spent some time at work the other day going over my (lack of) BR management skills. When I come back, I need to take a more inflexible line with myself. Any (serious) trouble I've ever run into had to do with mismanaging my BR. I've tended to be wishy-washy about it, being overly diligent sometimes, and way too careless at others.

So, after re-reading Slotboom's PLO book, and TOP, I've decided that I'm going to continue with the short-stacking. When I come back to it ... it's going to look like this:

ABSOLUTELY NO SNG's or MTTs.

PLO:
0.10/0.20 ($20) ~ $6.50 buyins, no BR minimum.
0.25/0.50 ($50) ~ $16.50 buyins, $500 BR minimum
0.50/1.00 ($100) ~ $33 buyins, $1000 BR minimum
1.00/2.00 ($200) ~ $66 buyins, $2000 BR minimum

From there, I'll require a BR of $6500 (100 buyins at 1/2) to take a shot at 2/4. (Buying in for $130).

I will do this. Now, the question is ... (help me out here BTP) ... what kind of withdrawal strategy should I use? My deposit strategy, as always, will be simply to invest next to nothing (like $100 bucks or so), and then run it up.

As far as withdrawing goes though ... I've tended to either take out money when A) I need it, or B) When I have a lot. I really want to make a more concrete plan on how I do my withdrawals. My wife suggested that I make no none at all until I've achieved the $6500, stay at 1/2, and then withdraw every penny I make over that amount on a daily or weekly basis. When that time comes, this would pretty much give me an indestructible roll, (as per the above guidelines), and some relatively steady "bonuses" in my real-world income.

What does BTP think of this plan? And are there any better ways?
