How many entrants in the tourney?

Day 1 in the books. Nice update. I know you mentioned that you would sprinkle in tournaments here and there but (and I could be wrong) it seems that if your goal is to just make money, you should stick with cash games to build up your roll.

You are playing $1/2nl? How much is your roll? Can you plan $2/5nl or are you too short for that right now? What's you current goal/target to hit?

For future updates, it would be cool if you provided a summary at the bottom of your final win/loss and how many hours of cash games you put in. For the sake of this thread, it would be interesting to see how many road hours you put into the commute as well.

80 I believe. I forgot to record that

Tournaments are gonna be fewer and farther between for sure but I do plan on taking a shot at a couple. I’ll update in here as to what I wind up playing. I have my roll broken up in to 2 5k parts basically. This first half is more open meaning 1-2 or certain 2-5 games and a couple tournaments. If I bust down to the second half it’s strictly 1-2, pick up a part time job or start on the real estate license. If I can clear $400 a week then I’m where I need to be with my current additional income. I would like to obviously make more than that but that’s baseline right now to keep from having to pick up additional work.

Thank you for the tips on the update posts and I will start doing that for sure. First BR is currently at $4900 after yesterday’s adventure. Had stuff to do today with the wife but tomorrow I plan on logging some solid hours. The 2-5 I keep mentioning is actually a couple of pretty soft games in Laughlin which is a little closer to me than Vegas. The crowd is older and it plays a lot like an active 1-2 game in Vegas so that’s something I might do from time to time.

And consider a more liberal use of paragraphs. Dividing that into three paragraphs: (1) Tourney ("Well not a great day..."); (2) Cash ("Headed to the Venetian..."); and (3) Summary ("All in all not a great day...") would make it much easier to read. Keep posting and definitely keep stats.

Will do! I usually post from my phone but I’ll clean it up a bit hahaha

Made it to day 2 of the Venetian DS event #25. 77k in chips. 1 til the money. Starts back up tomorrow morning. Let’s get it!!!

Run good!

Finished 34th. Started getting low on BBs and shoved AJ suited and A10o hit broadway on the river. Cashed for $800 which sucks but is better than a loss. On to the next one!

Good report, brother. Keep it coming. I'm pulling for you.

Thank you!

Just found this thread. Hope you do great! thanks for tagging us along with you.

Call ahead to the room you plan on playing, cuts down on your wait time.

Playing full time but only 2 posts about playing, in the last 10 days. Did you give up on this project?

Was this the shortest pro career on record? Bankroll busted in less than a week.

vegas has him now......

Hahahah I love all the responses cause I haven’t been on here in a little bit. Bankroll is not busted I actually have been busy with some projects other than poker. Played a few tournaments and didn’t have much luck. Min cashed in one and then rode the variance trainthe rest of the time. Cash games however have been good. I’ve recouped all but 2 tournament buyins and have had consistently better results there so that’s what I’m gonna focus on when I start playing more again. That being said this is getting put on hold until November when my wife and I move to Vegas proper. She has a couple job opportunities lined up and my work can go anywhere so we’re both very excited. Until then I’ll pop back in and give updates when I actually go play. Cheers!
