Or I'm just a lucky kid. Even though I don't think so (my EV graph sucks.) I think I'll be at 10NL in 5-7 days and how long of a grind is 10NL? Probably twice as long as 5NL... =\? I'm hopeful that I'll be out of 10NL by August at least.

Ok.

only played 10k hands, all 50nl. not too bad i guess

July
-play 15k hands at least
- at least a 4ptbb/100 winner

June Results..

First month playing cash...was up to like 80 and had a horrible session @ 20NL

July Results..

20k hands on Stars @ 10NL

Improve my overall game

Make good profit.

Since you need a minimum of $500 for a proper roll, and you are just moving up to 10NL, I assume you have $200. That means you need to go up 30 buyins in a month. Not likely.

Is 3 times a week a lot or something???
lol

It's doable if kaos plays the 45k hands.. that's less than 5bb/100 at 10nl.

-move up to NL100 perm.
-put in over 100k hands
-not get fired from my dayjob
-felt JackWilcox at least once

June results:
Good: Not grind out 50k hands without a HUD like I did in May at Cake, improved, removed some superstition

Bad: Still ice cold and in the middle of 35BI downswing

July goals
Learn to not be a BR nit and move up the next time I have 60BI+
Praise myself for being a BR nit so I don't have to move down
Contemplate moving down to .25/.50 (I'm lying to myself here)
Do further research on getting a coach because I hear that its possible to maintain 4+bb/100 (but really just cross my fingers that someone will find me)
Investigate doing a rake race that NO ONE else is in

5bb/100 = $.50/100 = $250 over 50k hands.

i think he was referring to ptbb/100 not bb which is easy at 10nl

yep..this.

No I think its pretty normal thats y I wanna keep it that amount, not like every day(like now)... But I mean it gets kinda hard when u have balls hitting on faces all over your comp, but well thats another story

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3072021.stm


5 times a week is recommended for a healthy prostate

loll if bbc says so.
Though its not about the health, its about time. It takes too much... like 1hour and a half x 6 days/week (currently) = 9 hours. I think I could use better those 9 hours (or at least half of them. + Im starting too see too many pervie ****. Ass gaping, deepthroat.... well u get the idea. I prolly need 2 get myself a gf(not hard, but I only look at Angelina Jolies or better, no normal looking chicks for me)

And lastly since Im turning on age, I have to redevelop my seduction skills which have remained unused for a long time now in this stupid country.

Pice

This past month went well on the whole. Started off well at 20NL so moved to 50NL again. However, towards the end, severely turned into a donkey and went limit rushing in a stupid attempt to clear a bonus and ended up losing more than I made in the bonus, which was an entirely pointless exercise indeed! And an expensive lesson to learn. Learn the cheap way - from other peoples mistakes. Better put, from my mistakes, and dont go playing above your bankroll EVER to clear a bonus, as it generally will not end well. That aside, I am happy with my monthly profit from winnings, despite a serious glitch towards the end. if only i’d have stopped playing poker on the 18th of the month.. ah, well, had to put the hours in anyway.


Next month I will be playing 50NL all month, but with a 60bb sit down and a 3 buy in stop loss. I will also quit if I am up 4-5 buyin’s in a quick time frame and book a solid win. I’ve learned its best to just play A game poker and ignore the quantity side of things, and let the quality side come through. To the casual observer, that might well sound like an excuse to be lazy - and it kind of is. However, I believe that it’s better to not play at all if you are in a lazy mood, as typically you’ll play lazy/sloppy poker and not really get anything productive out of it. If you’ve got to be lazy and do something poker related at the same time, watch something like a sweat session from FWF or Ansky and passively absorb the goodness of subconscious learning.


Add me to Skype for Poker Sweat Sessions!

Non poker wise, things have changed big time. I’ve split up with my long term girlfriend and instead of going down to Reading next year to study Business IT, I’m going to teach english abroad in Thailand! It’s all come as a big shock to the system so I’m going to take a few days off from poker before I play again. In the mean time I will watch the Foucault series on 3betting, flop, turn and river play, as well as ama0330’s 50NL series, plus I intend on rewatching BobboFittos DVD and re-reading PNL1 and the book by Danny Ashman. Then a dose of Tommy Angelo, and a few Rhodiola rosa tablets and tiltlessness ensues. Thats the plan anyway!


The next six months are going to set up everything for next year, so I’m planning on saving as much as I can for Thailand, completing a CELTA so I can teach english over there, grinding 50NL for a big winrate and being rolled to comfortably play 100NL for the whole of 2010, passing my driving licence( finally), and buying a new Laptop once Windows 7 is officially launched.

edit: This month is off to a bad start. only played like 200 hands so far. And my mouse is broke playing with laptop touchpad is tiliting. I mind playing NL5 when i started and checking behind on the river with quads because of a touchpad misclick.

Rapping and watching Cardrunners videos got me a little sidetracked last month. I only played ~5k hands of 5nl and 10nl in June at 4BB/100 (couple wicked beats and even a little tilt, which I'm disappointed in; easily halved my winrate). I have a bad habit of forgetting to enter tourney results... I know I played a few dozen 45mans and ended up slightly up.

This month's goals: stick to cash games, play at least 15k hands, and depending on how much play I get in, try for silverstar. Courtesy stars new VPP tables, with nothing but 5nl this month I'm already a tenth of the way there, played 3k hands at 25BB/100. I don't think it's all just a heater either so blue skies ahead.

edit: this is all exclusively 6max. I think I played FR for the first time ever this week when I played the BBV4L game a few nights ago... was an interesting experience.
