April's Almost Over but feeling good!!!!

With April coming to a close there are some things to reflect back upon this month. I did not put in the volume I wanted. This was partly due to the fact that I took a mini Vacation mid April and the fact that my fiance was home for most of this month. She had a few weeks break before she starts up her next internship. This is her last one and she will be done working full time in a month or so.

All though the volume wasnt there I ran pretty well towards the end of the month. +$800. Ill take it after getting out that down swing and paying make up off.

Ive been playing mostly $6.50 45 mans and $7.70 180 mans, the only problem with the $7.70's is they fill like once every 30 minutes. This is so slow, so I fill it in with the $2.20's, hopefully I can move up to the $12 45's and 180's in the coming weeks. I am feel extremly confident in my game and am playing well because of the confidence.

May 6th I go to AC again for a few days. I am playing the Harrahs Poker Open. I will pla the first event which is a $230 2 day event. the structure is insanely good, and I will try to satty into the ME which is a $1100 3 day event with an even more sick structure. so wish me luck during the series. I have a BAP up for it and you can buy some of my action if you like. http://forum.parttimepoker.com/showthread.php?t=530742

If you are not a memeber I will just put the shares in my name.

On to graphs pretty exciting graph to post.

The months still not over and Im hopeing to break $1k profit for the month.

Anyway see you at the tables and gl in MAY.

Back from AC & kinda burnt!!!!

I spent three days in Atlantic city with my fiance. It was supposed to be a really relaxing trip and we were just suppose to hang out. It was all of that and more it seemed. I didnt get much relaxing done but had a ton of fun and made a good bit of money. We ate at some of our favorite restaraunts and lived it up. This place called Budakhan its on the Ceasars peir. It is so fucking good I can beleive it. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp. This dish was so good. Anyway its our new favorite place to go. Cant wait to get back there.

Poker went really well. I didnt have a loosing session the whole time I was there. It just seems that people want to give me there money. The first session I got angled on in one spot and I went on a bit of tilt but managed to keep it together.

I was dealt TT UTG and raised it to $12. It fold around to a guy who held what I thought was like $60. He puts in all of his red chips and the dealer declares him all in. Fold back around to me and I call. The guy then drops $50 in green chips from his hand and says Im not all in. The dealer takes his side I call the floor and hes allowed to play the $50. Flop comes A97 or something like that. I check and he shoves I have to call now as there is to much in the pot really and a fold would be stupid. He turns over AK. It just pissed me off a bit If knew he had that much behind I might have been able to find a fold. The fact that the dealer declared him all in and I acted on the dealers actions. IDK just tilted me a bit. I wound up like $70 on the session and walked away happy to not lose any money.

The next session went really well and I made a quick $200 like it was going out of style. I dont think there were any huge hands but I got people to lay down big hands when I had marginal ones by pushing them off there hands. It seemed like they were scared of me for some reason.

My third and final session was the sickest of them all. I bought in for $200 as I normaly do. It was fairly early in the morning like around 9am. A bunch of drunks were still hanging around and had some pretty monster stacks in from of them. I manged to double through a drunk guy calling off with 88 in the BB When I held AA and floped my A. It was all uphill from there, the deck hit me in the face so many times I cant remember it all. I wound up $1300 for the session and it was time to leave for home.

All in all it was a great long weekend trip and me and my fiance had a great time. I just felt really tired after getting back am just now recovering enough to feel like playing online.

Online has been going well. Not much volume but that will pick up in the coming days. I have decided I have to start wheening off the $3 games and play mostly $6. I will be loading up $3 and $6 to start but them just transition into $6 games as my session goes on. I need to start in creasing how much money Im making and see If I really have what it takes to make a living out of this. My coaches are all there to help me and I need to take a few more risks instead of playing it safe. They understand that I might owe make up from time to time. Hopefully I can bang out a few hundred at the $6 level and move up to the $12 where I can make some decent money.

ANyway sorry for ramblin on here had a alot to say and I suck at writing.

Ill post some graphs in my next post and let you how im doing with my transition.

Out from this down swing WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!

So I havent posted in awhile. Ive been working really hard on my Poker game as of late. I went on a pretty big downswing for the stakes I play, and today I can say I have broken out of the down swing and am back into profit. This feels really good considering the last time I was in profit was when I still had a Job. As soon as I quit my job I went on this big downer. I like to think I was being tested to see if I could hold it together. I was stressing pretty hard and feeling pretty shitty about my game. I worked out some of my leaks with my coaches and I feel like the only place to go is up from here.





I need to start putting in some solid volume like I have been doing this past week. I have been slacking slightly the past few becuase I wasnt feeling much like playing when I was loosing. I need to work even harder and try to play as much as possible, the sooner I can get moved up in stakes the better. I need to try and move up to the $12 level ASAP. More money to be made being the reason.





Some things going on in my personal life that are pretty exciting. As you all know I am getting married in September. Its coming pretty damn fast. Anyway we bought our wedding bands and thats pretty cool but it cost $1k. I have money saved up and put away for the wedding but it jst puts a bit of pressure on me knowing I am spending alot of money and not making much. Hopefully that all changes soon. I feel more motivated then ever.





Anyway on to some stats and graphs-

oh yeah I almost forgot I am going to Atlantic city this weekend. I have a free room for a few nights and am going to make some money at the Cash games at Ceasars. Like priting money LOL!!!!

Good luck at he tables and see ya around.
