so far this month

its been good. i came home so i was able to play live at potawatomi a few times. 3-5NL game with a 600max buyin. its really good, and i suck at cash games so thats saying something. half the table enjoys playing almost every hand. i was up like $900 after going a few times. plus a few free meals!! looks to be almost exactly my online hourly rate but with 1/12 the tables lol.

sngs are going well but i dont think ill be playing them too much anymore. i just want to play 400 a month to keep supernova status and otherwise play 6max on fulltilt.

here are some fun spite calls people did today. and im not sure why, i dont push wide against regulars at all. the first guy called instantly and i have a lot of hands with him.

i hope these dont come off as bad beat posts. i truly hate it when people bitch about hands they lose. i would post these either way. i just found these calls probably the worst ive seen in a few months both within a few minutes



online im up like $2700 and live around $900. i think im running slightly good at sit and goes but im playing well too. im not gonna be playing much because next week is Hawaii with lindsey and then classes start. but i dont want my roommate to beat in profit for the month. he luckboxed in the sunday million and some 2-4nl omaha. hes ahead of me by like 500 or something. gotta catch up i dont think hes beaten me in a month!

end of the year

oops. its been too long. ive been doing well since my last post. i havent played much due to finals/holidays but ive made more than if i had played like in a normal month. everyone on 2p2 is posting yearly results. ill post mine real quick. lemme just add it up.

$66413. this isnt offical, just a real quick look thru a spreadsheet. although im sure its not off by more than $500. i guess im most impressed that almost all the $6413 was done live.considering i play 1/15 ish the tables live im pretty proud of that. of course live games are much easier though. i stand by my rule i can up with in jan 06 that a live game is 10 times as easy as an online game. meaning, a $10 sng is like a $100 live sng and a 50NL game is like 3-5NL at potto, etc. but honestly, its probably even easier, maybe a 12-15x ratio, no joke. people at casinos just love to give away money. i would have never thought it was true until walking thru the slots/bj area of pretty much any casino. there are so many fucking old person degenerates!!! wow. i feel like i should just go up to each one of them and just tell them to give me $100. way easier than poker. its funny, im sure most of them realize how "bad" it is to go to a casino and do the slot machines but im pretty sure i understand their logic. "but i could get lucky!!!" "theres what if i win big????" "its only $50"

gosh i love those idiots.



alright, my very short term goals for next year are:

study sngwizard. i just got it, its on my desktop so i couldnt run it on my laptop over the holidays at home. i wanna get better at pushing from say the SB after a vpip45% limper with 55 type stuff. stuff i couldnt obv do w/ sngpt but wanna study up real quick. also, a few bubble situations w/ two allins before me. i hate that stuff.

grind a lot over break. and even into the school year. the first weeks never matter.

get better at poker in general. curtains posted a good point a few weeks ago about not going allin as the SS on the bubble. idk things like that. i wish i was a lot smarter. there are so many things i overlook even when im trying to learn the game. i also want to get better playing postflop. lol that sounds so awful. yes, for every non snger out there, it is possible to make buttloads of money without know what to do w/ more than just the two cards you are dealt. i remember when i learned holdem thinking how stupid it was to bet before the flop. now i think the opposite.

those are all good goals but my main priority is my girlfriend. she is truly amazing. i want to spend a lot of time with her and not let poker/school get in the way.


k i think thats it. oh also i want a fulltilt jersey by the end of the month. if you dont think those are badass you suck at life
