Poker Leaderboard

I finished 2010 with a goal accomplished. I'm #12 on the Sharkscope Leaderboard for NLHE Turbo 9 Man $2 or less. It's only the micros but, I've always wanted a star on Sharkscope. TBH I never thought I could do something like that. I played just over 2000 tournaments at this level with a 9% ROI. I think that's good especially considereing the rake at these low levels. 20% rake for the $1s and 12.5% rake for the $2s. I'll be looking forward to the $6s because the rake is just under 9%. My bankroll is at $1051. I'm way overrolled for the $6s but, I'm working my way up the limits. Just hope the $6s treat me as well as the micros.

Today is a New Day

My hands are holding up. Yes! This dude had a -8% ROI in heads up matches. Overall, he was a winning player. I can see why he's a losing player in heads up with these types of moves.

Hot Streak

I started out on a hot streak on Full Tilt. Cooled off a little when I moved up to the $22 buy-ins.
If you're not using Sharkscope, you're missing alot of good information about your opponents. I look up my opponents' stats at the beginning of every tournament so, I can get a better idea of what I'm dealing with. Then, I color code each one to mark whether they're winning/losing or if they're marked by Sharkscope as a fish or shark. It only takes a minute to do. I just started doing this and it's working out really well. Every piece of information we can get is to our advantage and I think this is an extremely effective tool to help identify tendencies. Plus, if your buddy says he's winning money, you can check to see if he's lying.

Hope my luck continues. Off to the $10,000 race!
