Been slacking on the updates this month but it has been quite hectic.. Volume wise I'm right where I should be but results aren't good. Been fighting to play more tables and hit longer sessions so trying to find a good balance.

While I have some time on my hands I'd like give some content about where my mind is at, looking at my previous page or so seems like its only been results and goals. Again, as a brief overview about me (since I believe it is relevant) I am a full time correctional officer (CO in short) and during my work week I spend a lot of time prepping my meals for work as well as working out 5-6x a week sometimes even 7x. I am married own a house and even though I can work overtime at the prison I prefer to make money through other means. The money itself is not what defines this process but more about becoming great at something I could do for fun and make some money in the process if that makes sense. Take that with a grain of salt though cause your out of your mind if I could be flipping burgers and make a better hourly lol.

That said if there is anything I learned about poker this year it is get out of your comfort zone. Play more tables, rake as much as you can while playing for longer periods of time. Last year during covid like the heat of covid I would play 3 sessions a day while 10-12 tabling putting in decent hours however I made some mistakes because I did not go out of my comfort zone therefore it lowered my hourly rate by a bunch. Instead of playing 3 sessions a day to hit 70-80 games now I can play 1 session playing 16-18 tabling for 4 hours straight and hit around 60-70 games depending upon how good/bad I run in those games. Now my goal is to 20 table and by the end of the year to do it comfortably then eventually be able to 24 table. Everything takes time but that's why its a process and it's also about consistency. Additionally I want to reach $50 games which I should be able to take shots soon and that will help me to rake more.

March results ended up being pretty good. Better hourly than I initially thought I would have. I started the month -27 buy ins after the first week so had my work cut out for me. March was the most extreme swings I ever encountered playing sngs. Some of that im sure it is due to challenging myself (table count/ increased hour load/ learning new concepts/ tilt control etc).

Everybody has to be aware sometimes coming home after dealing with inmates all day many times I have come home after having a messy day such as being in many altercations or whatever the case is being stressed out due to a particular situation I was involved on said day I am not all there playing poker. My off days from work where I have the whole day meaning from 3pm-1am devoted to playing poker are generally great but playing after work can be quite difficult. Additionally if I take a week off from poker then I want to grind 100+ games a day it is also difficult to hop back into the swing of things. That is why I love going on poker benders where I have 3-4 days in a row I can grind hard and playing 100-120 games a day is not as mentally taxing.

This year alone I have come a long ways. Identifying leaks in my game and catching myself when I jam too wide and/or calling too wide. Playing too tight postflop or too tight calling ranges on the bubble and the list goes on. Aside from all of that in 2020 my average session was 2 hours 3x/day totaling to 70 games a day. Today for example I only played 1 session that lasted 5 hours and 20 mins and played 88 games. Usually I play 2 sessions one that lasts around 4 hours playing around 60-70 games and one quick late night session around 2-2.5 hours for 30-35 games. Today I said screw it let me do one and done get the poker out of the way and be able to chill the rest of the night.

I have a ton of **** I have to work on to get my roi a bit stronger but I think I can manage to do this as a part time gig which honestly last year I thought it would be very difficult to pull a $15/hour yearly total post-rb. Let's keep the momentum going strong. April will be the true test because it is going to be quite a busy month for me. Days I can grind are going to be extremely limited so the time I have I need to do what I did today, grind my ass off.

Here's a graph to show how swingy this year has been;

Lets make that moneyyyyy

Quarterly review 2021
1/1/21- 5/1/21

First graph is inaccurate but put it up so we can see the swongz. Def went through some decent downswings and a small percent of tilting/ spite calls but at the end of the day we went back up. All that matters. Second picture is 100% accurate those are the stats I keep manually. 4 months of grinding solid gotta keep it going. The next quarter is gonna be the hardest part of the year to grind since I have an inground pool/ grill etc lots of my off days I’m gonna want to chill out there. Gonna have to find a good balance.

1/3 volume completed for May/2021.. 249/700 sngs looking good for volume goals
Having a good balance recently im on the end of my cut for fitness only eating 2200 calories per week and doing roughly 15 miles steady state cardio and keeping up with house chores (just opened up my inground pool for the season).

I started pulling doubles at work, working 2pm-6am in order to have extra days off at work to balance poker/fitness/social life. Good start to the month results wise but anything can happen, keeping my head focused and these results mean nothing playing $25 sngs on the reg std swings gotta keep it going. Recently increased my sessions length from 2 hours few times a day or whatever to now 1 session 4 hours straight shot. Helps a ton. Lets make that money.



Start of week 2 for the sng leaderboard goal is top 6 for $75 lets get it

Somalian refugees eat more than 2k calories per week. That was a typo right?

lmaooo shiet bruh i need some sleep. 2200 per day obvv which is super low for me as it is. Shiet how much is 2.2k a week? Roughly 325 a day. Sounds like 1/2 cup rice for 3 meals!! dont do any cardio on this diet lol

Had solid start to May but I know the game of upswings and downswings, im more annoyed at the amount I slacked off this month. I took my fitness game up a level and between that and nice weather I was lazy. Its gonna happen but trying my best to limit it and remain hungry to grind away. I am building a new PC this month and plan to up my table count from 16-18 tabling up to 24 tables eventually. June is actually gonna be a tough month to get my volume in looking at my work schedule etc but im hungry to play again so lets get this ****!!

Lmao I just seeing this. GL in June my guy.

Thanks bro

Been a while guys, slack city with the updates recently.. It's been quite a productive month all around minus the gym.

Poker -> Successfully got my new PC up and running. Super pumped about it and glad I did not cheap out on the computer parts. This month volume wise started up super poor, was lazy with playing due to the nice weather and was chillen a bunch with friends etc esp since I have nice backyard w/ inground pool. Yesterday ran deep in the $7 rebuy which secured a nice monthly profit.

Gym -> Injured my lower back recently but luckily only took a few days to get back into the gym but light activity only until lower back strength comes back..

Good **** man. Liking the consistency and motivation. 👍

Felt like I didn't even play that much this month. Was quite a productive month. Build a new PC, got back to the gym after a tweaking my back and getting back into the MTT grind. Now that my bankroll is pretty solid and im maxing out at the SNG's limit (playing $25/$50 games is the highest they go on wsop) I am looking to dive into other gametypes to increase my hourly and keep my motivation going. Sngs are getting a bit dry but they are my staple profit so def will keep em going for the time being. Moving forward its nice to know I wont have to get a part time job since Im making enough only playing 30-40 hrs per month for steady profit and I still enjoy the grind. 2nd half of the year trying to increase my hourly, lets go.

thx bro trying to keep it going

So in the past few days I withdrew about 700 from sports betting and 800 from poker to pay for the PC and poker expenses so far for this year. Having roughly 7.9k left in the account nothing changes. I have added in mtts to help pursue a better hourly since it’s a few added games to my regular grind and to help develop my poker game evolve opposed to be Stagnant. Additionally I might add in some on demands on WPN to help with rake on a different leaderboard.
