Grinding Updates:

Had a very lame -$2.9k day the day that I got back from Ldn, took a huge hit to my profits. I thought I played well the first half of that day but my mental game slipped after being away from poker for those few days.

It lead me to make a whole bunch of suboptimal plays. >:[

Ran hot yesterday (+$2.4k) and today (+$1.5k)though to bring my profits back to $5k for the month.

Bankroll is on $24.5k. About to hit 300k VPP's for the year too, boom!

You's be stealing my reply format.

Rawr.

Been following your thread and you seem to be doing pretty well.

Good Luck with the rest of your challenge and keep up the good work !!

Thoughts on those hands would be cool. Reason for flatting KK pre? Nice read on the 2nd hand. Why the c/c river line? Good luck, I hope you make it soon.

Grind Updates:

Had one of my best days in a long time (possibly ever, I'm not sure) yesterday, was +$3.2k (From that $1.5k).
Just shows how much more you can earn when you don't stop-win and book a winning day.

Ran hot, and was on the table with a huge 4 tabling fish. This guy lost probably $3-4k yesterday before he quit.
Reloading fish = awesome.

Also, reached my 300k VPP milestone and have ~$1.5k worth of FPP's.
Profit is on $6.2k for the month
Bankroll is $28.5k

whats your plan on a brick river in the TT hand?

Checking back ldo, after all, he called on *this* river haha.

Villain was very bad, huge calling station. Even though he's a reg, he just never gives me credit for anything yet doesn't realise that I never bluff him past the flop and only semibluff him past the turn.


Oh, if you guys wanted to see a terribad call by me, here's one for the lols.

Grind updates:

Reached $10k profit for the month officially now.
I feel like I'm slacking today even though I've played 5 hours...
On the plus side, the past 4 days I've played 5-8 hours every day.



Bankroll is on $32k.
I decided previously that I was gonna move up stakes at $35k, but it seems that everyone at MSNL plays all the stakes anyway.
So I guess I'll just open up my game selection regarding 600NL but still play 400NL too.

Weirdly, one of the reasons I don't want to move up to 600NL is..


I've got 18k vpp's for this month so far. If I can keep up this kind of volume, I figure that I can make the $4k bonus on Stars every 2 months, and with just rakeback alone, I would be able to pay all of my rent&bills etc.

Now I just need to keep up the volume...

Question. How many people would be interested to watch a live video of me playing uNL/SSNL with commentary on hands and spots etc? Would only be 2-4 tabling though cause going through spots aloud whilst playing might be somewhat difficult.
