Cliffs:
-Total profit of $4,450 (90% 50nl)
-Self-discipline greatly improved
-Motivation higher than ever
Figured I would update this. Still been playing a lot, but haven't had the desire to update my thread until now.
I withdrew my roll from Bovada recently because I wasn't playing there very often anymore.
My total profit there was $1,750.
I started playing on Carbon because they had a rake race promotion, which was good for me since I don't have a life
. So I mass-tabled (12-14), usually a 60/40 split of FR and 6max.
My total profit on Carbon was $2,700. $2,500 of this came from a 5-day stretch where I played 12 hours a day and made 420, 720 (biggest winning day of my career), 30, 130, and 500, +promotion money. This was all 50nl. Kind of sad that they aren't paying out on a timely basis, otherwise I'd be playing there because it's super soft.
I've started playing on WPN because of the carbon cashout problems, and so far I'm only up $50 on there. It took me a little bit to get used to the new player pool, but I'm learning a lot and beating the games in my most recent sessions. I'm positive I'm a winner in the games now.
The plan is to play a small amount of tables (6) until I've got a really good grip on the players at 50nl. I play enough to make solid rakeback and will be able to level up to a good rank.
My total profit thus far has been $4,450. My financial situation greatly depends on whether or not Carbon ever pays me, but I'll be OK in the end regardless.
More importantly, my self-discipline has been fantastic. In late march/early-mid april I was hardly putting in any volume. Since the end up April and beginning of this month I've been putting in 10-12 hours a day.
I find that 10-12 hour marathon sessions work a lot better for me than breaking it up into chunks. I usually take one small break in between just to eat, but then I'm back at it before I'm even booted from the tables. The hardest part for me was always starting a new session, so playing 2 hour sessions and taking a 1 hour break just didn't work for me. I'd always procrastinate/waste time on my 1 -hour breaks. When I play all of the hours in a row, it's smooth sailing the entire time.
That should be it for now, I'll try to post updates more frequently.
