Razz 08

One thing I have learned from keeping this blog is that I am only a little better than a break even player. I have made a profit since the blog started, but not a lot.

The last 8 months have been characterised by periods of rapid gain (mainly when I play tournaments) followed by periods of rapid decline (mainly when I am playing nl hold em cash).

Now that I play mainly limit games, the days of donking off the whole bank roll in one session are probably behind me. But downswings and boredom still have a part to play. So it was only fitting that 2007 ended with a bout of boredom hitting my Full Tilt balance and a downswing at 3/6 Razz leaving a mark on the PokerStars account.

Realistically this year I will do well to make $6,000. And so that is aim number 1.

My other aims are:

1. To have a good January.
2. To make it into the top 10 in the Bluff Razz tournament rankings at the silver level (there is no Gold level for Razz). This might be difficult as I probably won't be able to play in many tournies and I seem to have lost the knack of winning tournies.
3. To play in the FTOP Razz events and the WCOOP and to make it deep in at least one.
4. To play at the WSOP Razz.

I plan to play 3/6 Razz on PokerStars and the $22 tournies on FTP.

Encouragingly, whilst writing I hit my first wheel of 2008 for a 14 big bet pot at 3/6. Woohoo...
