October Wrap Up
Took some shots in what I felt were very soft line ups in the 2/5 PLO games on Carbon poker. Ran in to a lot of bad spots and dropped ~3k. Overall, a pretty bad run on carbon this month.



Played another huge MTT online session on Sunday, went really deep in the BCP $100 100k guarantee but busted out 26ish place where top payed 26k.

Went deep in the Sunday $215 on BCP as well top payed $37k but busted in the top 100 AK vs QQ for a huge stack. Overall down on BCP for the sunday though because I rebought 3x in their $200 PLO sunday and didn't cash. Also rebought what felt like 5x in their $50 sunday and bricked that too.

Played a bunch of tournaments on Carbon as well but I can't find any way to track my tournament stats in their client. Up ~ 150ish.

Deposited on WSOP and played a small amount of hands at 1/2 and .5/1. Games seem pretty good but I'm down ~$350 on that site. Lost AK vs KK all in pre at 200 NL and lost AK vs AJ all in on river on AJ87A at 200NL.

Cashed out $500 on iginition and had no issues. Received the BTC yesterday so I don't feel that worried about playing on that site now.

Live Poker

Had small session wins at Southpoint a few times. 59 hours so far there, 40 more to go. Win rate at Southpoint 1/2 is hovering around $43/hr atm. Can't wait to finish this grind.



Live: +2066

Online
BCP: +2861
Carbon: -3564
Ignition: +1726
WSOP: -337

October
+2752

Overall a really weak month for me. I'm sure November will be better. I've had to take a lot of time off in Oct sorting through some house stuff, furniture building, deliveries etc. Will probably be looking for another roommate in November, the spare bedroom is pretty close to ready.

November Goals
-Finish Southpoint 100 hours
-Reach Platinum status on WSOP.com
-Put in at least 1 week of BCP beast grinding
-Play at least 1 week @ the Orleans and grind out their promotion

Ahhh sorry for no updates. probably ditching this thread for now.

Summary:
Finished Southpoint 100 hours and got killed in the last 11 hr stretch to finish at +1.2kish over 100 hours at Southpoint. Busted out of their freeroll tourney day 1 88 vs QQ. It was a really fast structure.

Dec ended up being my worst month in my poker career. 90% of my volume was live grinding a Harrah's promotion 80 hours for a WSOP main event tourney. Dropped about 1.7k at Harrahs over that time span and dropped ~1.2k online in PLO games (ran 1.4k below ev lol).

Didn't put too much volume in December as I was really busy with the house stuff. Actually the house (3 extra bedrooms) have all been filled with poker players (all 2+2ers) and we're having a pretty good time here now. Just installed a squat rack + gym set up on the first floor and I'm trying to convince everyone to start lifting in the new year.

Got 3rd place in the Harrahs Main Event sattelite but only 1st place got the 10k seat. Pretty disappointing. In January, I've decided to focus back online to rebuild the roll. Not much exciting stuff there, I just grind 100-200 NL/PLO so not much exciting contributions to a P+G thread there.
