Blog Outline, April Goals, and April Session #1

I'm going to post a review of all of my sessions here. I think getting my thoughts out of my head and being accountable for results will help me. It's something I'm going to try this month.

April goals,
150K VPP
quality hands

Today was my first session, I ran quite well today, here is a graph.

Today I played almost 10K hands, almost all 6max with a touch of 9max early this morning when not many games were running. I ran at 28% VPIP, 24% PFR, 9% 3bet, 47.7% WWSF. Today I played my "A" game, and it felt great, a fantastic way to start off the month. If I can play the rest of the month how I did today then I will be very happy.


Here are some hands from today.


This was one of the most interesting
