Tomorrow's Grind

Tomorrows going to be a day full of poker. I'm actually in Pittsfield for the night, but will be driving back to UMass in the morning. I've been playing a lot of poker lately (which I'm extremely happy about) and have really been using my time to grind up at school. I've managed to pull myself into the black profitwise in the cash games over a long 20K or so downswing/breakeven stretch. I'm also 113 VPPs from making GoldStar which I haven't done yet since moving to Stars. I've unfortunately been playing a lot of 25nl which is keeping my overall VPPs down, but I have been consistently winning money at the limit. My focus for next month is to put in 75% or more of my volume at 50nl. My bankroll is now comfortably rolled for 100nl so there is absolutely no reason I should be staying at 25nl any longer.

In the WBCOOP Omaha Hi/Lo event I managed to finish in 160th place which qualified me for the Main Event which I plan on playing tomorrow. I'm hoping to go deep and prove to myself I don't suck as bad as I think at MTTs. On a brighter note inspired by a friend whose been straight killing MTTs lately I decided to fire some up while grinding lately and it really has been a fun and new way of playing poker and I'm excited to participate in more MTTs in the future. I've played about 5 tournaments (all under $5 buy in) to try my luck out and have cashed in two for very small amounts and feel as though I played solid in the others just ran into some bad luck and am planning on continuing experimenting with MTTs here and there in the future along with some cash tables.

I'll do an update on the progress for my school year goals/month review within the next couple of days. Keep the grind on your mind!
