Well managed a little comeback from that fucking debacle above. Ran super meh for a long time today, then finally made a couple hands, and remembered why its easy to make money at 50nl. You just gotta make a hand every now and then.

Been running terrible at hitting sets lately. I've played like 6k hands over the last 3 days, and am a measly 24/289 for a flopped set - 1 time every 12 hands. For this month (20k hands) I am only making a set once every 9.5 hands. The internets say that this is supposed to happen 1 time every 8.5 hands. So meh hard to win against a bunch o' stations without making hands.

Still won 320 plus bonus and rakeback over the last few days, at about 18.50/hr. So I can't complain real bad.

So far August I have won about 880 online, 100 up in tahoe mizing a limit game, and some more in rakeback/bonus. I guess I'm up about 1100ish for August, at 24.75/hr.

Bankroll is 3965 after paying for plane ticket to vegas and my the RV trip. Gotta go to a wedding tomorrow, which will probably be a good break from poker for a day.

gogogogo august

Any thoughts of turning pro? Plan it man!!

I have about a 2 year commitment at my current job that I am not willing to break pretty much for any reason. Except if I win some BBJ for like $235798375023486 and I am making like $3493463/hr like Roy. But this is all unlikely. I will continue playing 15-20 hours/week and if things look good maybe try to play as a pro in 2009. I am too afraid of further legislation from our goddam govt to put all my eggs in the poker basket at the moment. I guess I could always move to Canada and try to hook up with some hot Canadian girl so I could live there forever. BC seems pretty nice.

Anyway I am pretty juiced on my monthly winrate of $25/hr (includes rakeback/bonus). If that keeps increasing it will be exceedingly hard to stay at a regular job. Maybe I could work part time or something?

Meh still way to early to even consider any of that kind of stuff.

Well, I played a bunch of poker in Vegas. I played really poorly and ran into some cold decks (top set vs. flopped flush, flush over flush, K10<<<<105 on a 10107 flop).

I only lost 140 though, which is good I guess.

I had a lot of fun hanging out with ED and MVP. Saw a sick suckout by some girl on MVP in like a 700 dollar pot. She didnt even know she won at the end. LOL.

Also saw Roy donk off 2k in like 15 seconds. He spent the rest of the night walking around counting his 6k in cash that he had in a wad in his pocket. Its a miracle he didn't get mugged.

Anyway I am back to playing online again. Booked a small win after being down a couple stacks early. It was kind of hard to take the 50 dollar stakes seriously after playing 200nl live, but meh it was way better to be at home. and 200nl will come in time.

Bah gotta go to bed. Work work work for me tomorrow.

ZOMG winning day

played like 45 min.

played tight. which is right at 50nl.

got kinda dicked in a couple pots, but still won at like 30ptbb/100

finally ran good and quit before the suckouts came.

i think i remember how to win at this limit.

god damn what a lame stretch that was up to tonight.

update

bankroll = 3922

september = +109 in 14k hands lol

hourly rate at 50nl for september = $3

totaly hourly rate at 50nl over 50k hands = $13 (3.5ptbb/100)

i dont think i am that good at this game, there are just lots of freakin terrible players out there.

i wonder if i will be a winning player at .50/1

oh well i won tonight, that feels good at least.

Got bankroll up to a bit over 4k. Playing good poker, running good.

Just watched some TV for the first time in forever. I dont even own a goddam TV so I was just watching it on the internets. Got a recommendation to check out Friday Night Lights, and it seems pretty awesome. Could be that I haven't watched the tube in so long that Threes Company would seem awesome at this point, but I don't think that is the case.

Anyway. Thats all. I hope to put a lot of hands in this weekend and continue to run good. Girlfriend is out of town for like a week, so I should have fewer distractions.

...and Go Bears. Number 6 or 8 in the nation depending on which poll you look at. Hopefully we hand Arizona their asses this weekend.
