First of all I would like to congratulate myself on acheiving a 98% no stat checking score for December. Really really really happy that I have found a way to stop myself checking stats and I now have no excuses for not continuing with this.
Also happy that the 2% of the time where I did check my stats I instaquit the session. This is hugely +EV as checking stats is my biggest tilt indicator.
I am not going to make a long list of targets for 2010 as things are going well for me at the moment and I just need to keep doing what I am doing.
If all goes to plan I will have played a decent amount of 400nl by the end of next year and my roll will be very healthy indeed :)
Happy new year to everyone and good luck at the tables!

Pokerstars VIP Changes
Looks like stars is going to be more attractive to micro and low stakes grinders in 2010.
Check it out:

On top of the new 'Stellar' bonuses you also get to buy cash bonuses with you FPP's and if/when you make supernova there is a $1,000 milestone bonus.
If you currently play elsewhere it is well worth considering a switch imo.

Practice
Zen and the Art of Poker Rule #23 is Practice. It compares poker to games like tennis and backgammon and states that poker 'is a rhythm and a groove you get into, like anything else.'
When playing regulary I definitely get into the groove and lately have felt good about my game, even when things aren't going my way.
For the last couple of weeks however, I have not been playing enough and it is no coincidence that my game is already showing signs of decay.
Practice makes perfect!

Study Group
This is the easiest way for me to post screenies and I need to post my recent stats for an application to a new study group.
This is my last 3 months:
As regular readers of this blog will know my shot at 400nl went pretty well but the poker gods crushed my soul a little EV style.
I am currently back playing 200nl, with plans to move up to 400nl again in the new year, and whilst I am happier than I have ever been with my game, I know I still have plenty of room for improvement.
The reason I am looking to join a study group is to push myself to do more theory work and develop my understanding of concepts away from the tables.
There is only so much you can learn without others input, and fourms in general suck, so working as part of a group can really help if you get a good bunch of dedicated people together.
