monthly blog

66k hands logged on Pokerstars. It has been a pain trying to break through the 100 NL barrier. Running so bad! 50NL is a dream though. Just hit Platinum star for the month woop! i will go for supernova next year. it should only take a few months if i put in some serious effort.

50NL graph:


100NL graph lol....


what the hell is that monstrosity.... May as well post a kool hand:


Awesome looks like ive gained $4 since my last blog in september!

Stars: $2124
Live: ???
FTP: All gone

more of the same

did 5 hour session today. up then down 6 buyins wtf... here is my graph so far.



unlocked 470/600 of my startup bonus. have 8000 VPP in 40 hours of 50NL. i actually got to 20 tables today ha. now just need to get to the 200k VPP bonuses.... seems impossible atm. might take a shot at 100NL soon tho.

back on the money train

well its been a while since the last post. finally redepositied after losing my roll on FTP. 4.5k NZ sitting on there and chances of getting it back look slim :(

put 600 on stars to take up their bonus. what a scam that is btw. 25k hands in at 50NL and ive unlock half of it. probly about 5% of the people who sign up to have a go at this bonus will actually ever get there before going busto. genius marketing really.

anyways 50NL. playing upto 15 tables. just stacking them and its been really easy to adjust to. i think i could go to 20 tables no prob if i had an office to play in haha. have done 24k hands in 28 hours. with all my bonuses etc my roll sits at $1850 now. so thats 850 earned, 400 via bonuses. so its going pretty well! im looking to get to 2.5k then take some shots at 100NL. once this bonus wears off though by "rakeback" compared to FTP will b much lower. havent taken the time to work it out fully yet.

in terms of live poker ive been pretty shit. i used to keep a physical live roll in a giant wad of cash but now its all gone, spent on rent and crap haha. id rather just spend my scarce free time grinding these days, unless there is a nice home game going cause those r always fun. have been too 'busy' lately to attend though. by busy i usually mean whipped.

hopefully u guys still read this. notice no one has blogged in ages! ill leave u with this hand. god i run good:

100th post

and its quite a milestone. have finally gone, well 'semi' pro. had a talk with the bosses and should soon be doing less hours which means min 1-2 days a week off to grind alllll day! they were surprisingly supportive of my poker haha.

40k hands of 50NL rush so far for a total profit of $1500. 6 tabling it so its about 1400 hands an hour ohh yea. not a bad hourly, but im above ev of course. cant wait to see how this goes....

havent been to live poker for ages which makes me sad :( was going to the casino the other week but the earthquake hit ahhhh.

Oh and also i cant get my pokerstars password. somehow ive forgotten it which seems impossible cause i use the same one everywhere. also my old email is banned for some reason by hotmail so i cant recover it easily. a comedy of errors really.

Tilt: $3690 (+$13050)
Stars: $234
Total: US$16974
FTP:282k

Live: NZ$2500ish

still rockin the rush

27k hands into 50NL rush and im still going strong. running a it above ev which always helps. started 6 tabling now... 4 6max and 2 9max. just nit it up in 9max playing super standard, seems to be working. trying to build a sample size still so i can convince myself that playing pro is a good idea...

Im back!

finally got me some internet. been grinding like a bit of a madman last couple days. 50NL rush of course! was guna try 9handed but start off with trusty 6max. i feel like after this long break im playing alot different and alot better. rethinking everything and have a fresh mind. as you may have guessed from this positive review im doing pretty good also. 15k hands in and check out this beautiful graph:



the bann of US players doesnt seem to have affected anything. if anything from my results it must be softer? thats 10bb/100 ohh yea so sexy. dont get me wrong i know i need a bigger sample size. going for 50k hands then try out 100NL rush again.

cashed out most of my tilt bank roll too... feels good to be back!

quicky

ummm trying to tally up my gains lately:

think i had another good one at lukes like $300 up or so. then i lost about 100 at his garage game with 2 tables. i cant really remember god dam. lost 150 at the high rollers event as i bubbled the final table then played the 50/1 cash game. so im guna assume about break even lately. im pretty sure ive played more than that but o well. game tonight too...

got a new laptop today woo! now i just need internet to get back into it.
