Warning: mktime() [function.mktime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

A quick state-of-play post to wind up 2010.
I did splash out on Samuel Smith's heads up poker course and for $40 it was a bargain. It's a bit of work-in-progress as Sam hasn't got all the content finalised. But it's only $40. I would fully expect the price to go up once it's complete.
The first lesson details a very simple method for playing heads up sit'n'gos. Basically, tight out of position, loose aggressive in position. Not rocket science I know, but one thing I had noticed about my game since following Brokerstar's course was a definite decrease in aggression. This is not a slight on Brokerstar's teachings but more of a failing of my style of play. My natural style, I think, is a passive style and while this should be a good fit for Brokerstar's course, I had taken things too far and had become ultra-passive and was missing obvious opportunities for taking down pots. So Sam's first lesson has helped me reintroduce controlled aggression back into my game.
And results have been going well. My win rate in December in the $1s and $2s has been 59% which translates to 8% ROI for $1s and 9.8% for the $2s. Not exceptional but OK.
I'm still running at a loss overall in the $2s but it's slowly improving. ROI is -2.6%. In fact, looking at my all-in EV, if I had had average luck over the last month I would be back at even.
So that's me signing off for 2010. See you all in 2011.
