January has come and gone and now 2010 has started off very well. Although I have been experiencing more drastic 'swings' lately and not quite as consistent, the end result was good. I started venturing into more heads up matches and had a ROI of + 9.84% over 120 matches. I will say that as jhub has consitently preached in sng's, table selection (or in this case) opponent selection, is very important. There are some heads up "specialists" that are really good at what they do and although I have sat down with them for some fun, why play players, when there are so many wannabees out there to take advantage of. Choose your opponents carefully, look at their average buy in and see if they are in over their head. I have matched up many times this month in a $150 buy in against players with 400 game averages of $30, who may be hot and trying for a quick score, that you can usually take control of the game. My 6 man super turbo number for the month was ROI + 5.46% over 341 matches.
The real nugget of the month came on the last day of the month, winning an entry package to the Irish Open in Dublin, Ireland in April. 15 have qualified from Cake and I was lucky enough to make this trip last year (see post) and it is a blast. Chris from Cake hosts and what a great time. I have stayed in touch with Ian from Ireland over the last year and looking forward to seeing him again as well. I am way looking forward to it. We are taking a couple extra days off to stay in Ireland and I am hoping to score a house in Wexford or Wicklow to enjoy the Irish countryside.
