I went to go see Rocky 6 tonight and i was very pleased. I really expected it to be much worse than it really was. This movie really should have been the last movie of the Rocky series instead of number 5 where he trains tommy gunn. I wont give away from any of the movie, but I do have 2 opinions. For being a "dopey" boxer, balboa does give some great speeches. He is a better motivator than anything else. In this last movie, he gives a couple more of those speeches which really is an inspiration. The second being, there should have been more of him training. You'll see in the movie why they didn't show AS much as say in the previous movies. But they could have done it a bit differently.
Overall, I thought it was a great way to close one of the great series' of all time. Again I don't want to give it all away, but in a couple weeks I'll post my full thoughts.
The second topic I wanted to discuss are my plans for January. I'm not too happy with the way I've been playing as a whole this month or how much I've been playing. I'm betting off lots of chips with just TPTK in unraised pots, etc etc. So to get back on my A game, I'll be setting a goal for January. I haven't done this in the past, but it's a good way to start getting on track.
When doing this though, I have to make a realistic goal. There's no point in saying, "I'm going to make 100k in 100 days", I'll leave that to bill ivey and those boys. For the stakes I play, I think a realistic amount of money is $5,000. My first month playing cash games in November, i made $2400 while only playing roughly 10k hands.
I'm very excited about this and I hope the readers(if any) of this blog will like it also. I'll be posting every day with up to the minute tally's of my dollar amount, hands, and other weird things.
Oh and the last thing, I'll be heading down to AC next week to play in a couple tournaments. It's going to be great with all those people going down with their xmas money and giving it back to the players. My favorite tourney over at the showboat just got 100x better. For $53+12 you start with 10k in chips now. Blinds start at 50/100 instead of 25/50 but i'd rather take the extra 5k in chips. Their weekend tourney is 105+15 i believe and you start with 15k. Maybe if i dont hit my goal for january ill punish myself. Maybe I'll only be able to play LIVE. Actually that would only make my BR bigger considering im awesome live. We'll see lol.
To close, i would like to say congrats to lucko on taking down the 109r the other day. It's the toughest tournament on the internet and to win it OUTRIGHT with NO CHOP, is a great accomplishment. I don't remember exactly how i started talking to him about hands and such but im glad i did. For aspiring poker players, hes a good mentor to have around. Head over to his blog at http://pokercash.blogspot.com to learn a few things.
Till next time, good luck at the tables!
PS - Here is a hint on why I haven't been playing as many MTT's the last 2 months. GG that guy
