The February Experiment
Poker wise, January was an interesting month. I actually started by taking advantage of a reload bonus. I was playing mostly $0.50/$1.00 limit hold'em (6-max). My bankroll was pretty light, so that's about all I could play. I don't remember exactly, but my bankroll was probably around $200.
Eventually, I started playing really well against bad opponents. In short, I was on a heater. I eventually built my bankroll up as high as $650... but then the inevitable crash hit and my bankroll is now back to $353.30. I did cash out $150 in bonus, though, so I am not incredibly unhappy with the month -- just my bad play of late.
Anyhow, for February, I have decided to try and play $0.50/$1.00 limit hold'em (full ring) to see how I can do against that game. I'll keep track of my stats on here. I'm starting the month with $353.30.
Results for today:
57 hands, -$2.90, $350.40 (completely card dead)
58 hands, +$2.30, $352.70
88 hands, +18.45, $371.15 (4-tabling; 50 VPP for the day)
On the fishing front, things have been interesting. I went to Big Carnelian lake last Saturday before sunrise. We caught a few nice crappies but then went to a different lake around sunrise, which was a big mistake. At that lake, I caught a northern pike on a Ratso in the first three minutes but nothing else of note in the next two hours.
Yesterday, we went to Big Marine Lake, where I have had precisely zero luck in the past (during my pre-flasher life). We were looking for a 25-foot hole, but we didn't find it. Instead, we found a flat in about 13-14 feet of water.
We arrive around 3pm and proceeded to get bites from really small bluegills and perch until dusk. I can't recall the details exactly, but I remember catching a crappie on a Ratso. I then started noticing a mark on my flasher about 7 feet from the bottom. I've never seen a fish so shallow (i.e., closer to the ice than the bottom), but I brought my Ratso up above the flash... and sure enough... he drifted up to it and bit. Nice crappie. I then proceeded to catch 5 more nice crappies over then next 20 minutes or so.
The bite then slowed and it became time for me to leave. As a last-ditch effort, I tried another hole about 50 feet away. I caught another two crappies before I had to leave.
