Sooo pretty shitty ass August as far as cards go. Still got 2 days to go and its kinda looking up. Where to start....sooo I go to work on thursday and put in a full day and about 5 to 5 my boss comes and gets me and wants to have a meeting. Turns out my 'performance' hasnt been up to par so they fired me. Outta mine..but not really..so in to mine. They can SMD. Right now I'm in search of a job and also playing again. I went on a terrible downswing and have 0 bank roll. I applied for a few stakes and finally got one. It's for $600 and pretty much covers what i already play.
MTTs to Play:
$0 - $800:
$16.50 freezeouts and below with field sizes of 91+.
$3 rebuys and below.
$5 2r 1a
7 buyins can be counted to the Bankroll, however, you must reach break
Only non-turbo $180 man tournament may be played (the $4.40 and the $11)
Only NLHE tournament, turbo with GTD prizepools only, no shootouts, no HU.
I either bust or triple the BR and have the chance at getting another stake at higher limits..once the BR reachs $1200 I can add more games. Thats where I'm at...good luck to me in job hunting and on the felt.
Stars: $200.69
FTP: $200.30
Reserve: $200
Total: $600.69

sigh
Only played 2 or 3 times this week. I pulled a 45/180 man sesh and ended up winning 1 $6.50 45 and 1 $12 45 man and a 3rd in $12 45manner. ended up giving back that plus more yesterday....played about 28 tournies and skunked all but the huge $1.10 turbo on ftp. Was sitting top in chips with 20 to go and couldnt run goot. had 2 sick stacks in the $9.5k gtd KO and $3 cubed but nothing really went further than 20ish from the money. The mullet race is pretty even, I'm down about $161 and chrisp200 is down about $61 i think. Gonna hopefully bink something soon.
Only have about 20-30 more VPPs till i release my monster $25 bonus on stars. look out....thats all i got.

hello august
Well some things have changed since the last post. I got a new lay out and shit....looks aight I guess. I've played 1 session since my last post to start of the August and the team comp. Did pretty decent.
Very soft field......I ran pretty hot, not only sucking out but running KK in to QQ and I think possibly AA into another hand....so shit was going my way. Heads up I think I had about 1 mill to his 180k....mind you blinds 12k/24k +ante...yes he had under 10bbs.....TT into A4s....boom double....few hands later, ship AQ into Q9....straight on turn....final hand I shipped A3o into 77, gg me for 2nd. Not shabby, increase the roll about 20%....micros are sooooo easy so this should be fun for a few weeks.
I have 16 games played for +$218. I took $250 out so my BR is about $1k still. The first week of August is pretty busy for me. Tomorrow I have a 1/2 day at work then I'm heading to Cleveland to see Rebelution then coming back that night, getting a few hours of sleep and driving my current room mate to DC. Then driving back...should be a good time. I dig roadtrips....gives you some time to ponder.
No updates yet on the team comp so thats about all I got. Hopefully I dont miss another sunday but I think I might miss another one, gay. So hopefully starting August 9 I'll grind hard to get some points and cash before I move down to Moon to the new spot. Thats all I got, friday should be sick

July wrap up and a new start (long)
Pretty solid month as far as MTTs go. I had a solid start July 3rd taking 5th in the 33K gtd KO for $2.2k and then on friday I shipped the $2 rebuy PLO RUSH tourny for another $881. Took 4th in the micro team comp and had some fun..sucks it was only 1 week and I didnt get to play as much as I wanted or we could have had some better results.
July Goals
- play atleast 400 MTTs this month - I played 313
- Achieve Platinum Star (got Gold Star last month, was silver star by july 3rd, so should be easy) - I still missed this by about 2000-2500 points but I am Gold Star still for August
- bink 1st 5 figure score (this will always be a monthly goal) - 5th in the 33K GTD for $2.2k(not 5 fig but i'll take it)
- ship 2 tournaments - $3.30 1k CAP 4-max for $480 and $2r PLO turbo RUSH for $881
- profit for the month - $2356
- win the 1v1 competition - huge fail...ended up busto in the Quarter Final Rnd.
- end stake with backer and be on my own bankroll by August 1st - wooo, not much profit for him but we still ended the stake.
July was pretty solid from my Goals stand point. no 5 fig score :(
on to August....
I'm in another Team Comp for all of August on PTP. Pretty solid team right now, already have some nice finishes and it just started Sunday. I havent played since Friday night win. I'm currently in the process of moving at the end of August and helping the new room mates move in this weekend. Should be a good time, both of them are pretty pumped to start to learn to play some online so I will try to teach them as much as I can and hopefully be posting their montly graphs as well.
After chopping and squaring everything with my backer I have a starting roll of about $1100. Pretty much back to square one, jan 1st 2010. I'm 10000000% better than I was back then so this shouldnt take long to build up. I will most likely be withdrawing atleast $400-500 a month hopefully to pay for rent but still continue to grow my BR. I'm going to shoot for a goal of bare min. $15k by December 31,2010, really I would like to have somewhere between $20k-$25k to start off 2011 (the year I will become a pro, hopefully hah) This would be the ideal situation...possible? maybe? I'm only up about $10k this year in MTTs so I think if I stick to the game plan and grind these bitches out I can hit atleast $10-$15k or so by the end of the year. I've been close to winning more than I'm paid at my current shitty ass job so its possible and only a matter of time. I make some crazy plans about bankrolls I'm going for and it always seems to fail. So we arent too worried if I dont get there...I just want to have a consistent side income that pays for my living expenses for the most part so I can some cash too.
August Goals
- Play atleast 450 MTTs (I'm pumping this up from last month because of the month long comp..last comp I played around 600 that month, I think I can get over 450 easily)
- Stay Gold Star on PokerStars (I'm playing lower limits than used to for the time being so I dont think platty star will be something I can do so I'll try to hold on to gold)
- 5- Figure Score
- 4- Figure Score (this should pay rent)
- Win the PTP Team Comp
- Win 4 tournaments any game
Pretty much looks like last month....I doubled the tournament wins for this month to give me some motivation. This is going to be the first month I will be trying to 'pay myself' which is motivation in itself.
My starting bankroll will be $1114.23. I'm going to use my own discretion on what to play...sadly the $26's will my 'shot taking' right now....really anything under $11 will be fair game. $3r and under and mixed in $22's and $26s until I can get above 1700ish or so. Try to keep around 100-150 buy ins and if shit hits the fan I'll reconsider my approach but this has worked the last 7 months so hopefully I wont fail at life and go broke AGAIN.
also I bought about $150 worth of PS bonus that I can hopefully clear this month to add on to the BR.
Bankroll: $1114.23
