Jan

So Jan sucked bad ive basically played a ton however not even 30 hours aweek...

i played 117.25 hours not bad for the month but below what i wanted....

I did play  1559 SNG's which was good.  More then i have played in a long time.

However i also lost 4600 from play.... worst month ever bye 1600 or so.  These months are bound to happen playing 50+ buy in sngs.   For the most part i played fairly well not great.   

For the month i actually made a tiny bit of money so it wasnt a total loss just really really really hurt.

For at least a while i will most likely be playing 30-40-50 6max ultras just to kidna get some easier compitition and at very least the swings cant be as bad playing for less money.  Almost every single day this month i either won or lost +/- 500 with several 1k ups and downs per day.

Overall i am playing fairly well and it will turn around hopefully soon lol.

All in all my monthly goals will be to play over 1500 because that isnt even 30 hours a week..  Tracking my hours has shown me how insainly pathetic my volume has been.

2009

So I have been putting in tons of volume over 800 sngs already.  However ive also had equel to or my worst swing ever -70 buy ins.   Which is pretty sick avg buy in of 55 specially when you think the only level im doing good on was my 100s.

However im kinda working my way out of it im only stuck 40 or so buy ins plus im  about even know after rakeback and bonus' finnally so im a little happy about that.

Needless to say poker has been a big mind game this month losing so bad but its bound to happen.   I've had a few bad swings in the last few years although i hadnt had one for a long time and never at the higher stakes.

Anyways i'm starting to do better and ive been mixing in 6max and HU sngs (got crushed at hu sngs at first but ive deff gotten the hang of them and have been crushing them now).

I'm also behind on my 30 hours a week main goal already LOL however im playing a lot of sngs and am still commited to playign 30 hours a week avg for the year so i need to get some 40 hour weeks in here.

Also on a side note im really hopeing to break at least 1500 sngs maybe even 2k.  Its been so long since ive played 1500.  So anyways thats a little update ive been sow at updateing and this month has been so hectic with the downswing and all ive been actually studying a lot of poker too.

but anyways hopefully ill get some more updates in.

2009 and more 2008 recap

Well im pretty lazy so i didnt make any pics of graphs etc on 2008.  For the most part it really was a break even year i ran about 3.5 roi on SNGs which isnt insainly bad with avg buy in of 40ish.

Alot of my break even came from 6max sngs i ran 7-10 on 40s and 50s and 15ish on 30s only about 10 on 20s for the year on full ring turbos.   On full ring turbos the only level i lost money at or came close to breaking even was the 71$ sngs im down like 50 bucks on the year.   O ya i didnt really cash any MTT i played either lol i suck so bad at them also didnt play that many really.

I did however get hte 40k goal

RakeBack $9,076.00 Total Bonus          $14,558.49 Win/loss              $16,648.50 Total Profit       $40,282.99

So  Very good year considering i slacked so much i need to find motavation...  In the summer 3 months i belive i played under 200 total sngs all in all i worked probaly only a total of like 7-8 months of 40 hour weeks worth of work.....   which is depressing becuase i play worse when not playing a lot and my push/call ranges struggle a lot.


Anyways main goals for 09 are obv profits which i will set a 60k goal this year hopefully i shall easily pass it if i can motivate myself.  I would have crushed my 08 goal had i put in volume.....  as it was i got it taken another 3 weeks off in dec again.

Next primary goal is a life goal of getting in shape.  I mean seriously i have no job how hard is it for me to get to the gym for 30 mins a day or an hour.....


So all in all 60k work out/lose weight.



On my actual play i have started playing hu sngs i have not been overly profitable however i have enjoyed them and i can get far more volume in doing those then full ring.  Also in 09 i would obviously like to get more into cash again I basically fell off when AP merged with UB because traffic went up so much. (also got abused at my cash play)

So for play i would like to be consistantly playing the 100 range of sngs whether it be 100 hu ones or 100 6man the 100 full ring just dont fill anuff on ap to play them.
