Yeah I actually got on the list. Played 1/2 while I waited, got a new table and it was just as bad. That's when I finally left. I see you had a great month! Keep it going brotha! I'll be seeing you soon!

At the gym right now. Pretty awesome that this gym is allowing me to use a free trial week when I was honest and told them I wouldn't be joining lol! Poker last night went good, was a little slow but came out with a little profit to start making up for my Monday night spewtard session! Plan on getting finished up here, going to shower, grab lunch and head back to the tables! They have a 1k/30 min high hand promo from 4-7 and there's no reason I should be missing out on that! I plan to put two solid 10-12 hour sessions in today and tomorrow! Will probably be checking out of my hotel in the morning then just play Thursday night and catch a nap in my car before I make the trip back home. The hotel has been expensive and figured I could atleast knock a night off! Gonna finish up here! I'll shoot another update later!

Last day here, marathon session started!

Played 13 hours then hit the road toward home! 2 hours away and I'm hyped up on monster and coffee! Trip was kinda rough in terms of profit but I'm still somewhat uncomfortable with the swings at 2/5 so the experience is worth the trip by itself! Full report including cash stats, pics, and a strip club review later today when I wake up!

Long time... As far as the trip report I'm gonna just skip it for now and report that over ~70 hours I profited $270 at 2/5 while in MD. Went on a pretty brutal 4 BI downer the last couple days... What I really want to report is that I've decided to focus more on online cash for now until I move. There is only one live game near me which is 1/2 and honestly the game is extremely soft but I don't think I'm getting any better. I really thing the best thing for me to do is make out a grind schedule that will be done tomorrow and I'll lay it out ITT and grind out 100nl for now. I don't have a sample of any significance so although I'm rolled for 200nl I want a solid sample at 100nl first. I'll also try updating this thread more often since I'll be on the computer a lot more! Hope to get some more followers!! (Obv I need to update more to lure more people in lol)... Oh well, goodnight and good luck to everyone at the tables tomorrow!

Wish I had a friend to move to Mexico with and grind stars/tilt...

Check the travel forum. There are groups of 2+2ers/poker players down there in those communities that will help you out.

Awesome, thanks!

Found a new game about an hour away from me. It's only a 1/3 Game but I've heard it plays big! Otw to give it a shot now and decide if it's worth the drive a few days/week!

Sent from my SM-G900V using 2+2 Forums

Well... +205 tonight but that game was a bust. 1 or 2 players strolling in at a time, buying in for 60 or 80, busting and leaving. That pretty much sums up the night. Glad to profit but not sure if that particular game is worth the drive. Supposed to possibly check out another tomorrow, we shall see!

+540 tonight and the game was so much better! Taking the next couple days off from live to get some online play in! Plan on going back to get in the live games Friday and saturday night! Then hopefully a big online day Sunday, have a couple tickets to some big mtts!

Ready to get back on the road! Heading out Monday to Jacksonville, FL to play at best bet for a couple weeks. Will also be heading down to Daytona for a weekend for an HPT event with a couple friends, should be a fun/hopefully profitable trip! Heading to the gym now, planning on getting some hands in online tonight! I'll also be posting updated graphs from live and online play later tonight!

In the sauna, finishing up at the gym. Heading down to Cary, NC tonight with a couple friends to play live tonight and tomorrow! Really keeping an eye on my expenses lately! The goal is to have 30k saved up before January! 20k roll to start full time at 2/5, 6k emergency fund, and 4k in checking account then I can finally decide where I want to move! I'm going to write down some goals for the month of October and post then here to keep myself accountable! Cheers to the weekend! Good luck!

Hey everyone! Haven't updated in a while so figured I'd chime and as well as post October goals as stated in my previous thread. Overall the grind has been ok, slowly coming out of a downswing from my last trip to Maryland. My roll has shrunk a tad from the DS as well as unnecessary expense that I plan to cut out entirely! I'm heading down to Jacksonville, FL in the morning and it's a great opportunity to get some volume in at 2/5 with minimal expenses since I'm crashing with a friend! I found a 1/3 game that's about an hour away that I played over the weekend. Game seems soft enough but still unsure if it's worth it after the logistics are added up... We shall see. As far as online, I've been doing pretty terrible. Had a couple weeks where I binged on MTTs, mainly bc of the tourney series that were going on. I have since come to realization to how detrimental MTTs have on my progress. I plan to cut them out entirely until I reach the below goals...

Long Term Goals (hopefully by Febuary 2015):
[] 20k roll for 2/5 (currently sitting at 14.1k)
[] 6k emergency fund (currently 0)
[] 4k in checking account (currently 2.4k)
[] Crush 2/5 for >30/hr over large sample (currently 17.56 over 132 hours)

I will hopefully meet these goals by following monthly guidelines I set for myself:

October Goals:
[]160 hours live poker (atleast 80 @ 2/5)
[]Get through half of curriculum 101 on Crush Live Poker
[]Improve study habits overall
[]Drop down to 50nl online and focus more while grinding
[]Regularly review online sessions
[]Post atleast 1 interesting hand from each live session as well as a few hands from online sessions

Non-poker goals:
[]Drop 15 lbs
[]Get back into a healthy eating regimen

I am hoping my monthly goals will help me reach my "long term goals" as well as my overall game! I'm actually subscribing to Crush Live Poker tonight and plan on running through the first podcast on the curriculum a couple times on the way to FL tomorrow, 7 hour drive, UGH! I'll def try to start updating this thread more regularly!

Updated Graphs/Stats:

Online:







There's my biggest update to date haha! Hopefully I can keep them coming! Cheers!

In route to Jacksonville!

Curious about a hand I played last night. I don't wanna be results oriented, just wondering if I should be able to find s fold here... utg is somewhat tight, MP is older guy who plays almost every hand and hates folding, Co is a younger guy maybe lower 30s that seems pretty bad overall and normally has a pretty polarized range

Utg limp, Hero limp (77), MP limp, Co raise to 30. Utg flats, Hero flats, MP flats.

Flop (120) 734r

Utg checks, Hero lead for 80, MP 3b to 200, Co sticks in 220 and is ai, utg folds, Hero jams 505, MP snaps.

In essence it seemed like a simple spot for me but after thinking about it in wondering if I can ever fold. Obviously I'm not worried about the co (pf raiser) have his range pretty much spot on. In just thinking, what does MP raise here? 33,44 I guess could raise, I don't expect 56 to raise it up straight out (he's been slow playing big hands the whole night), I think he 3b jj+, so I'm not really sure if I can ever find a fold. Thoughts?

Anyways lost that pot to 56o, rebought and finished the night -150. I'm pretty happy with my play, I probably only made a couple of marginal plays that are questionable. Just grabbed Mexican with my buddy, heading back up to check out the afternoon crew in a few. Come to find out there is no golds gym here so my travel pass is worthless, and haven't been able to find a gym for a reasonable price so the plan is to just go for a run during the evening until Monday and reevaluate. Will update later!

Another great session tonight! I'm really starting to feel alot more comfortable with 2/5 and I can see a huge improvement just bc of that! I've gotten 28 hours in since the 1st and not planning on slowing down on the volume! Side note, I got the invite to EDC in Orlando from a really cute dealer named Sonya, told her I'll def be getting back with her about that before I leave! Oh well, about to crash, gonna try to find a gym tomorrow bc I have yet to make an effort on that end and I gotta drop some weight!
