I need a good kick up the backside! the main purpose for me creating a blog was to keep me on track and moving forward towards my poker goals, I reasoned that being transparent about my game development would keep me on track, as I would be accountable not only to myself but to the readers who take time out of their days to catch up with what I'm actually doing so thank you Lee, Martin & Krissy for taking an interest and I shall endeavour to keep this blog updated and include some interesting non poker related stuff as well.

As regards my move to Titan I've played about 5.5k hands and and I'm running about +6bb/100 not sure of the exact figure as I'm writing this in my luch break at work so dont have access to Hold'em manager. Titan as been an eye opener as I was lead to believe the ipoker network was full of fish as its linked to a lot of european bookmakers/sportsbooks, however the games seem to have more than their fair share of regulars who are incredibly nitty! looking at the tables in the lobby and the percentage of players seeing the flop averages around 22% so I was expecting to find it a real struggle but so far its not to bad at the micro levels I play 10nl and 20nl. Overall for the year my stats are 30k hands on Absolute, Pokerstars and Titan and I'm running -0.80bb/100 which I'm happy with as I'm still a novice and have much to learn.

I've been reading as much as I can online about successful grinders and its quite obvious that they all have a solid work ethic and I feel thats the main area I need to work on for me to achieve my goal of giving up the day job and earning an income from poker, I always knew it was going to be hard and would require a lot of time and effort but I now know I underestimated just how much time and effort it will take, however I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end as my job is quite soul destroying at times and the daily commute is a pain in the arse as well!
