Well May was all-in-all a pretty shitty month. I had my biggest winning day ever ($700) as well as my biggest losing day ever ($540). I took a few days off and for the 2nd half of the month I mostly played low-limit stud and chased some bonuses. I had 18 winning days, 9 losing days, and 4 days where I didn't play. I didn't keep that good a record of my results for the second half of the month so i'm not sure of my hourly rate or hands played etc. I made $2,242.23 in May, which is slightly less than what I made in April [$2349.76], so winnings-wise it was actually a decent month, it's just everything else that made it crappy-esque. If I ever become pro/move out of home I will need to make about $2,000/mth on average, which really shouldn't be difficult at all. I would prefer to be making a lot more than this of course, as it will a) let me move up quicker, and b) let me live life more comforably.

June got off to a bit of a weird start. I was laying in bed last night chatting on msn/irc and watching tv shows. It was about 5:30am and I was about to go to sleep and I see that there's a pacific 10/20 lo8 game going on - so what the heck, I sit in. BAD IDEA. I was tired and drifting off to sleep, so I lost about $100. I woke up with pacific poker staring in my face and that the lo8 game was now 2-handed, so I hopped in to win my money back. After a couple of hands it became HU and I played with this one (total donk) for about 10 minutes. He started with about $200. Anyway I get half of his money through a few good hands and he starts this last hand with about $80 left. I get AAKT or something, he raises and I call. Flop is QQJ. I check, he bets, I raise, he 3bets, I call. Turn is a 2 and I check, he bets and I call. River is another 2, I check-call his last $9.78 or whatever. His hand? 2378. UGGABUGGHABLAH.

Aaaaaaaaanyway, needless to say, I was pissed! We play a couple more hands HU and he takes another $100 off me, so now i'm stuck about 400. The table filled up after that and I stayed there long enough to win most of it back +70 or so. I counted that towards last months winnings.

I sat back in that game plus a 5/10 lo8 game for a while and won a bit, I played a lot of 7cs at PR and interpoker and won a bit too, as well as a little NL100 6max. Finally cleared the PR bonus and requested my cash-out. Todays results:

Total Won / Time played
112.00 34m
36.70 32m
88.13 35m
45.80 91m
18.85 20m

$301.48 in 3hrs 32 minutes, so i'm happy.

Great start to the month Roy, keep it up.

Good to hear you're still dishing it out to 'em...as a mate used to say, "wallop"! I feel inspired to enact my poker revenge on the Pacifish.
