Just observed the hand where you lost to that fish who limped with JT. Unless you had a set, I would have given up when the reg in the big blind overcalled your flop raise 3way on that dry board. Also terrible turn bringing a 4 straight and the fish was still clearly going nowhere.

Yeah I should've got away from it way earlier, pretty stupid/rubbish.

This is a bit of a disappointing end to the month. Might start open shoving lol

You too? I have the same problem... I've been investing in a guy and he's lost $2600 of my money in 4 months. And to top it all off when I told him how much he was down he said:

"only 2.6k phew
thought I was down 5k for you
2.6k aint too bad"

Really enjoying following this thread, good luck mate.

I had one question though, you seem to earn a lot in bonuses, considering I always hear people complain about stars and their VIP programme at micro/low stakes. Can I ask how many VPPs you've earned this month and over how many hands?

Edit: didn't realise the time, I of course meant the month of July.

You should've staked me for MTTs instead. It'd have taken me twice as long to lose that amount!

Thanks buddy, appreciate it. Yeah Stars bonus structure is pretty good (IMO) if you can put in enough volume. I aim for 1k vpps a day, which means that I'll earn about $1600 every 28 days, and a milestone bonus every 90 days. I'm a bit behind that goal this month but usually I hit it no problem. It equates to about 5k hands a day!

July 2014:



Soooo as you all know last night I was going hell for leather to cross the 4k mark. What ended up happening was I went into monkey tilt mode and lost a fair bit. Still well up for the month but I should've just left it and finished at about $3700. Overall a great month and very happy with it! With $4200 in R/B I was able to withdraw £3500 (pounds, not dollars) and pay off a ton of bills, debts, bought essentials for me and my gf's new flat (bed, TV etc), and booked a lads holiday to Magaluf this month! My goals for this month are as follows...

* Make $2k profit (I'll be away for a week so 2k seems reasonable).
* Have $1500 in my account come 1st September (3 months in a row I've started the month underrolled and it means that a % of profit is eaten up getting back to $1500)
* Do a bit more studying (I did none at all in July, poor show)
* Continue to get in shape for the next 3 weeks until my holiday (will expand on my fitness history a bit later)
* Take a 5BI shot at 100nl and not win 4bi's this time and pussy out

I said it at the start of July and I'll say it again, what motivation I get at the start of a month...



My piss poor night last night saw my BR dropped to $500, but up to $1000 now. The sooner I get to $1500 the better! 35k fpps, might just buy the $600 bonus in a couple of days and be back up to $1500.

Gl to everyone for the month of August, sorry for the long post!

You need to sit back and realise what an amaxing month that is at 50NL mate! It's huge! Good work.

I did see the writing on the wall with your hourly countdown last night . It's totally irrational as the turning of a new month is irrelevant in the gramd scheme so nothing should change nothing, but i think everyone does it.

Similarly, I wouldn't bother cashing the $600 because that money is always tere if you need it, it's another psycological thing really and makes no difference.

GL for August.

Also, here's a nice way to frame how good your month was. In the UK, to earn £3500 after tax you need a salary of £60,000 per year!

Thanks very much man I appreciate it. You're 100% right with the psychological things, particularly the $1500 starting point. Hopefully I'll grow out of it one day. EDIT - that £60k figure puts things into perspective, happy with my month now! lol

Thanks a lot mate, appreciate it! Feel free to chime in at any point.

The degenerate in me knows no boundaries, since MTTs are blocked off from my client I've invested 6900fpps in a $109 ticket for the WCOOP challenge series event. Gonna grind zoom all night and see about getting the month off to an even better start!

Thanks very much! Not sure about the Stars update, but my Hud defo works (albeit after 1.5k hands it lags a lot and I have to restart my comp every 2k hands). If I were you I'd email HEM support about it!

Played a monthly live donkament today. £55 with rebuys for the first 3 hours, 100k starting stack. With 50k after 2.5 hrs and blinds at 1200/2400 I doubled up with KQ vs K8. Two hands later with KK, and vs the same guy I have a stack of 5k chips in my hand and say "five thousand", and then drop one in. The K8 guy then goes "but you had a stack of them in your hand!", argues for about 30 seconds, everyone at the table tells him to STFU, he throws his hand in the air, sighs and literally slams his 90k chipstack down in front of him. Folded round to me, I snap and the prick rolls over AA. Three hands later I put the rest of my chips in w 1010 and he takes about 10 seconds and goes "ach its suited I've gotta call ya" and turns over AK lol. This is a guy in his 50s that I've played live with for years.

Rebuy with a few minutes to go, blinds at 1600/3200, I make it 10k in the SB w AQo, BB calls and x/shoves A34cc flop. I call, He has A2cc, brick turn, 10c river. The guy slaps the table and goes "The Cat knew it was coming Gary!" - this is a 40 year old man who speaks in third person and refers to himself as The Cat.

Lol live poker.

The month so far...



Obviously swingy but I'm out of that grungy tilty spewy mode finally. Good volume too, trying to put a lot in so I can make this 100k fpp bonus before I go on holiday (wish I never spent 7k fpps on a $109 ticket). Roll's at 1k again, hopefully kick on and get it back where it needs to be. 37k fpps, got 63 to do in 17 days, sucks to be me. A couple of quick hands but so tired I won't post a blurb about them, just the hands...

          Ty Panda, I'll sure try.



          Played really well, ran awful. One bad hand for 100bbs, otherwise a LOT better. Used fpps to play Big $55 and mincashed, just after the bubble I lost w A9o vs QKs for a ton of chips and then lost 99 vs JKs for about 10bbs with 600 left. Enjoyed it but 100% definitely done with MTTs til the 16th August (Quarterly Freeroll). Roll's at $1180 and 34,600 fpps. Some runbad hands...

          Should go $11 pre here so I can go $14 on the flop and shove turn. Sizing is a lot better lately but still needs work.

                  Over the past week I've tilted hard and spewed like mad. Tonight I took every beat with a sigh, and moved on quickly. Still a bit more to go til I'm not underrolled, but getting there! +$528 for first 3 days of the month, played 19k hands too

                  If you have mindset issues/tilt etc, there are some good books. The poker mindset is good and I've not read them but the mental game of poker 1+2 are meant to be good too

                  ^ thank you for the recommendation, I think I will buy a book to look into it a bit more.

                  Played well last night and ran pretty bad. Played well today and ran insanely hot...



                  Poor volume but had a few errands to run today. Roll up to $1617, and this month's profit is $955, not bad for 4 days. If I keep it up it'll be a $7k month haha. Some rungood hands, I'll try not to put any that are just AA in pre etc...

                  Villain is such a nit here that he has KK almost always We can GII over 2 streets but if we bet flop and shove turn he will find a fold. X flop means when we jam river we look like we might just be FOS.

                          Booked up to go to Monaco in October with the mrs. Been together 4 years and we've never been on holiday before. That'll be Berlin, Magaluf & Monaco in the space of 4/5 months. Should be booking Vegas in April soon too...

                          Haha I seem to start months strong (August just got a little stronger) and finish in spew mode! My girlfriend's father charters a boat in Monaco for some rich dude and has fixed us up with a cracking holiday apartment. Flights were only £130 each return, bargain! Gonna be great fun.

                          Couldn't sleep so decided to put in a session. Glad I did...



                          $1378 profit in the first 4 days and 4 hours of the month, very happy with that. Will go to sleep for a bit, then put in another session during the day (probs lose it all back haha). Some hands from tonight, the first of which is an interesting one. Not sure what to do OTR, would appreciate some feedback (as ever, keep it constructive). Spoke about it with DumbBlondexoxo for a bit, we both think villain should be betting turn, interested to hear about that too.

                                My HEM is slower than a week in jail so that'll do for now. Roll at $2038, will hold off cashing out for another day or two. Debt to my uncle could be paid off within a week, a frightening thought...

                                Overall for the day. Cashed out $538, but then dropped $284 at the tables, kept getting QQ in vs AA. Really enjoyed playing today, felt a lot less pressure not being underrolled. Hopefully I can take that into tomorrow and have a profitable day. A couple of quick hands...

                                      Did you just go into hyper agro mode the last 2k hands (red line)? Maybe your barrelling too much in the AK hand, not sure if you have much Jx in your range and with two missed draws makes it easier for villian to call down, maybe you even have some SD value vs a hand like AQs?

                                      Yeah I think river is a mistake. Don't think I was aggro late yesterday, I felt like it was pretty steady overall! Today...



                                      Up and down and up and down and up and down all day today. Really enjoyed it tho, and felt like I played well again. +$1300 for the month. Some hands...
