Hey all -
Been taking it relatively easy thus far the last few days. Taking a break from live for a bit to avoid having to withdraw more from Ignition.
Presently sitting on about a $5k BR on Ignition and have decided to take a 5 BI shot at 200NL. Not too much to talk about thus far, just three hours of grind.
Sitting at 10:20 played on Ignition for the month and 11:23 live.
200NL grind on Ignition is a bit reggier, I need to get better with my table selection but the first three hours just been grinding it out with the regs. EV is +1 BI in 900 or so hands.
A few online hands from the month thus far:
Hand 1: Biggest losing hand thus far. Was expecting shorty to shove and put the button in a tough spot, when he shoves, I'm hating life but obv calling it off here.

Hand 2: Biggest winning hand thus far that wasn't AK > AA or AA > AK AIPF. Still can't believe this jew bet folded this river. Was half tempted to flat thinking KK is a reasonable part of his range but I doubt he half pots flop and doesn't shove river with KK. Air no good sir.

Just taking a bunch of non-showdown pots really. Nothing too terribly exciting thus far. Have a bunch more hours to go this month along with some more PokerSnowie review. Upgraded my RIO subscription back up to Elite so I have some more decent video content to watch. +15.54evbb/100 over my first 9,095 hands of taking online NLHE seriously! WTB more volume.
As far as goals go:
Quote:
June Goals:
1.) Identify my 2 largest leaks in my online cash game utilizing PokerSnowie and plug them.
2.) Grind at least 45 hours between online and live.
3.) Continue to focus on river situations.
4.) Stop checking my ****ing graph/results mid-session when playing online.
5.) Stretch Goal - Find a decent live MTT to play. There's a monthly $250 deepstack and $300 deepstack within 2 hours of me but that's about it. Wouldn't mind playing one if I can find a way to jet out for that Saturday or Sunday though.
1.) One identified thus far and that is calling a bit too much to 3 bets with offsuited broadways in position.
2.) 21:43 of 45:00 played so slightly ahead of pace here but likely to fall behind over the weekend as I'll be up in Wisco with my bro and his fam.
3.) Getting better here still hero-ing off in some middling sized pots that I can likely get away from.
4.) Getting better, at least when I look now I don't really care. Still need to get better.
5.) Not sure this will happen this month.
Hopefully put in enough volume at a large enough winrate that I'm rolled to take shots @ $2/5 by year end. I'm thinking a 5 BI shot when I have 30 BIs but we'll see. Would definitely like the opportunity to move up to the highest stakes I can. If I'm going to play this lovely game and enjoy it, the money needs to be worthwhile.
Oh, last thought, had this other prospect in my office earlier today. Things went great and I'd say it's ~85% to close in the next few weeks. Should be a nice $40k revenue shot for our agency dropping $12k in my pocket. Brings me up to about $100k on the year produced which isn't bad for a guy that's not in sales
