This past 8 days has been pretty good. This is over about 13 hours of playing at 50nl, just nut peddling pretty much (10ptbb/100):



This works out to about $44 per hour, or like 2x more than I make at my job. I am super curious about how next month goes. I think it has the potential to be pretty good. If I run at about 7ptbb/100, that will still work out to like..hmm. crap i suck at math...like $30/hr.

This abortion of a month I put in 84 hours. I don't think I can play that much next month, but say I play 60 hours, which is doable...that should be like 1800...plus rakeback/bonus should be over 2k. That would be the nuts. OK so I guess my goal for next month is 60 hours at NL50 and I will check and see where I get to.

JULY:



jesus i coulda done without the first 23k hands. but i think i have that limit figured out pretty good now.

poker winnings: $680
bonus cleared: $150
rakeback: $175

total = $1005

bankroll is now at $3400

thinking about moving to .50/1 at 5k, since my roll isnt really replaceable and I am a huge bankroll nit.

ps obv tl;dr

So far so good for August. Two days, about a thousand hands, up $200. Running decent. Not a bunch of sets really, but just no retarded beats. And the opponents are just total muppets ZOMG. I am looking forward to Saturday, play poker all day/afternoon on the internets, and then go play drunk cards at my buddies for his 30th birthday. My bankroll is finally big enough that I can toss some chips around comfortably in our $20 buyin game. Should be fun anyway.

Well, earned about a hundred dollars today in rakeback and winnings. Ran like total ass though, shoudla won like 3405830453x more than that. But still winning whilst running bad is pretty cool I guess.

Bankroll is at about $3700

I am now going to sleep a few hours and then play all day tomorrow.

GOGOGOOGO AUGUST

Dang, the boss is gone for the whole day, leaving me alone with the internets. I am not doing a good job of being productive.

I wish the gov'ment would figure out a way to make poker not illegal so I could actually think about quitting my job and playing cards for a while. I obviously don't have the roll for it/pad of money saved up for it. But I figure in 6 months or so I could have the necessary monies to 6table 100nl with a bunch of cash stored up as a cushion. Shoot, my winrate at 50nl 6max is like 1.5x what I get paid right now anyway. And I have been averaging 20hrs/week over the last 4 or 5 months, while working full time. So I don't think getting in the hours would really be a problem. It would be just my luck to quit my job and then have UIGEA go into effect and fvck everything up and force me to move to some tropical paradise with a laptop.

LOL JOBAMENTS

Well, I played about 1000 of the weak/tightest hands of my life today. Seriously I just hate my playing style sometimes. I don't really see monsters under the bed, I see donks that refuse to fold under the bed. I wonder if there is a cure for weak tight. Maybe poker isn't for me.

But I run good anyway so meh. I can only imagine how much someone good at cards would win with my current run of cards. It's probably because there isn't really anyone good at just running over a table AND getting away from some nit when he plays back at them...at least not at 50nl. So I can just fold and fold and foldandfoldandfoldandfoldndfldnfldnfldfndlnfdlnfd and THENGOALLIN and they still call...

So today I won about 120 dollars in 1k hands. I run good. Here is the graph for the month so far:



I also bought a couple hundred dollars worth of RAM today out of my roll to soup up the computer. Shit should run smooth with 4 gigs of ram in this thing.

It is gonna take some more hits as I intend to withdraw for some trips I am going on.

Anyway...

Current bankroll - 3928

Yeah, I am winning at a much higher clip lately. Lots of donks where I play, and I run decently well. My plan is to move up to 100nl when the roll hits 5k. Hopefully I can get there by the end of the month, if my bankroll isn't completely denuded by my vacations. Meh whatever.

That was a pretty interesting article that guy wrote. Definitely made me want to quit my job. Not that I needed a ton of convincing...

Christ on a stick I have to get up in like 5 hours to go to work.

Kill me obv.

Bah I ran so bad today. Only dropped a couple buyins, but definitely tilted a bit at the end. Big losers for the day - AK vs J10x AIPF. Got flush over flushed on another one. QQ vs KK. A3 vs A9 on an A39 flop vs the biggest donk in the world. Oh yeah....Js 8s vs Ah 6c on a Qs 7s 6s flop. I didn't slowplay it, and he dutifully called along to hit an A on the turn and a 6 on the river. ZOMG. How did I only end up 2 buyins down? Oh yeah the one that put me over the edge and had me running around the apartment all pissed off was 83 in the small blind. flop K108 turn 8 river 4. Does donkey have 44? Yes he does. Did donkey semibluff the turn with his 2 outs when I had trip 8's? Yes he did. Could someone please kill me? KTHNX.

God damn, with all these stations, you really have to make a fuckin hand.

Oh well. Today is -120. Bankroll is at like 3835.

Well, won back about what I lost yesterday. Another tough session though. Running super meh right now. I am getting pretty worn out/beat down by work now. But after my vacation this next week, I will get back wednesday night. Then I don't have shit to do until Monday. So that is 4 days that I'm gonna try and put in 27352903498572 hands. I plan to play about 2 hours on and then 1-2 hours off. See if that helps with the decision making.

Current bankroll - 3921

OH and LOL to tiltaments yesterday. At least I only donked off like 1 stack. BAH need to sleep more.
