24k hand nl100 session, up a dolla lol, 418k hands
Joeingram1, Nov 22 2008
Just got done with my session, played 24k hands at nl100 and end up a mother fuckin dolla lol, plus like 7.5k vpp. I ran really really bad when i was focused but the last like 8k hands i was sleeping. I did have a point where i was up 500 then was down 1.35k next thing I knew but grinded my way back to even.
At 418k total hands, only 2k off pace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will post some interesting hands 2morrow but im about to pass out.
I just realized i still have to play 108 hours more this month, jesus fucking christ lol idk what I was thinking doing this but I guess the money will be totally worth it as the most I have ever made before was like 4k-5k in a month, 25k+ will just be surreal considering i was a 25nl grinder like 2-3 months ago. 108 hours 10 more days!

394k Hands this month, 20k at nl25 today, GRAPHS!
Joeingram1, Nov 21 2008

Joeingram1, Nov 20 2008
Hey all, sorry for the few days with no update, was trying to get my password from here for a few days but never got the email they send you. About to go to bed for the night right now and at about 369k hands for the month, 11k off pace.
Finally got a new desktop today because stars kept freezing for like 20 seconds once an hour, then I would get sat out at a bunch of tables, and miss blinds/hands and was putting me on super tilt. So went to Best Buy and decided to just ship a new desktop without much thought. So now I can use the new one for just poker related stuff and I might finally be able to 24 table with a HUD now for the first time ever lol, excited about that actually.
Here is a few pics of the setup I have, my 70 inch that I play on, my laptop i watch random online things with for now, my tv, and other temp monitor for my other computer.


Need to sleep and wake up early, will update with some graphs tomorrow
Started -1.2k, ended +1k, Standard 20k Hands, PICS
Joeingram1, Nov 16 2008
Pics of me and gf, and of my setup are at the bottom of this post so if you like pics go there first lol.
I put together another epic come back yesterday in my session and was able to book a winning day for the first time this week. I actually had to take a break after I started and lost like 600 instantly but eventually I stopped running totally horrible and finally was able to mount a comeback and book the win. I stopped the session pretty much right at 20k hands so didnt really gain any on the 12k I am off pace. I wanted to keep playing but was just way to tired and exhausted to continue but I felt like I could have made alot more yesterday. Next time your playing a session and down 13 BIs but your playing good and just running bad, grind through it and book the +9 BI day. Am at 288k hands total for the month now.

About to start playing for the day right now after I eat some breakfeast. The girl/friend is coming over tonight so have to take some time out to entertain her and not play poker which makes me lol. I am totally 100 percent focused on playing this month and she is a slight distraction from me winning the bet.
For entertainment purposes this is a pic of me and her. I probably don't look like the typical person that plays 600k hands 14 hours a day of online poker but who knows lol.

This is the setup I use to entertain myself, its a 70" Panasonic with my little flat screen to watch TV/movies/football while I grind all day.

Here is a few examples of me running bad yesterday at the beginning
This hand was right at the end of the session, I'm like sweet ship the 1k session, then boom I beat nothing on the river

Okay I won't post anymore hands of me calling river bluffs with Q high or bottom pair and being good lol instead I'll be looking for some hands where they have the nuts instead today. Going to go eat and then play, thanks for reading!
Another losing 20k hand day, 268k hands total!!
Joeingram1, Nov 15 2008
This week hasn't been very fun, I've played like 100k hands and am basically breakeven at nl100. I just cant seem to put together a good session from beginning to end. Every one I have played I've been down 600+ at one point and up 600+ at one point. Usually I would book the win at my high point but because of the fact I HAVE to play that really isnt possible. I feel like my play is starting to slip also due to the fact I've played 12 hour+ everyday this month and I am running like shit recently. Normally during a breakeven stretch like this in the past I would just take a day or two off and go back home to my parents house and do something fun but am unable to do that now. I really feel like I need a day off but as I am already 11k hands off pace, I do not really want to be 31k hands off pace.
I did clear my 2k milestone bonus yesterday so ship another 2k to the bankroll. In my 23 year life I think the most money I've ever had at one point was like 2k and most of that was going for bills anyway so I'm not really sure what I am going to do with some of the money at the end of this month but I'm sure I will find a few nice things to buy myself. At the pace I am at though I'll be able to get and clear another 4k fpp bonus, a 1.5k fpp bonus, and I will hit my 3k milestone so thats 8.5k more just in fpps alone.
With my prop bets I stand to win 2150 in the bet I have with 4 others on who can play the most hands in November. My main bet is if I will play 600k hands in the month and I stand to get 6085 back if i can get there so there is another 8.2k. So if i can keep up my current pace I will basically make 16.7k for sure before and poker winnings are even added into the equation. For someone who was playing NL50 last month as his main game that is just fucking sick lol imo. If that isn't enough motivation for me to do it then I really do not know what is. Work had the next 16 days straight and enjoy myself in December! I have to just keep reminding myself that.
Here is my graph so far, you can see the point where I realized that I should nit it up because my mind would go crazy playing this much postflop over 600k hands as by my red line dropping drastically.

Obviously some people still don't realize that I shouldnt be bluffed
This is the standard fish line, check/call check/call lead river when a card comes that makes no sense

The NL25 pros didnt get the memo also, anytime you raise preflop and then check/call 2 streets then suddenly go nuts on the river its usually a bluff. These types of players arent smart enough to bet AQ for value in these spots

I guess this guy thinks I got really lucky this hand lol good read imo, im obv repping the A and the K. In reality the river is a huge huge overbet but I feel like he really never calls here making it a very profitable play.

Joeingram1, Nov 14 2008
Just want to start off with saying thanks to the people that have been reading my blog so far and that have left me really encouraging comments and sent me messages. Hopefully can inspire some people out there to play more hands and make some more money for themselves.
And yes I do have a life/friends/family/gf but this month I'm just putting them off to the side so I can accomplish this. The gf still comes around often and she is okay with me playing poker and not with her lol. She will be on the webcam this weekend I believe as she is staying over for a few days. www.justin.tv/chicagojoey is the link for my webcam I have been keeping throughtout this prop bet.
Yesterday pretty much sucked for me. Ran super super bad against the fish who hit there miracle 2 pair/trips card everytime we got it all in and at one point was down 1.3k but rallied late to only finish down a few hundred which I actually considered a victory. I don't think it was any coincedence that this happened while I was almost finished up clearing a 4k Fpp bonus lol.

But At the end of the day when I finished up I officially had 10k in my Poker Stars account. I escrowed about 2k-3k for the different prop bets I have so should have gotten there faster but after I finish clearing my 2k Milestone bonus It will officially be a 10k month for me.

Honestly when I first started grinding nl25 back in June I could never have even dreamed I would ever have 10k at one time. I was struggling to make it to 1k and wondering if it was even possible to ever make money playing poker. Well about 7k in cash outs and a ton of hands I have finally gotten to the point I set out to reach and its a surreal feeling. The sick thing is I'll be able to get another 4k fpp bonus by the end of the month, plus, I stand to get back about 8k total if i can win both prop bets. I could ship my first 10k month and my first 20k month lol, just crazy shit.
Heres my total graph so far though 247k hands total, still 13k off pace but I will probably make that up this this weekend when the games are super super super super good, just hope i can run decent.

Okay just a couple of hands to show everyone out there that I am not such a nit and I dont fold sets/overpairs all the time
Obv here I check/call 2 streets for value, The turn and river really miss his range so he usually either has the nuts here or nothing

207k Hands Total This month so far
Joeingram1, Nov 11 2008
Just got done playing for the day, put in about 21.5k hands today to bring my total to 207k, 13k off pace. I'm really not sweating it to much though because I can play one extra long session one day and be right back up to pace.
At like 60k vpp total so almost up 3k in fpps, clearing a 4k bonus right now and 4k vpp away from a 2k milestone bonus. Here is my graph for this month total, up a pretty good amount

Here is my day today at 100nl

Up and down and round and round
Here are some hands for the day, i saw a couple good 200nl tables after i finished up my session so i played a few orbits there and ran pretty good and made a little.
I was just determined to win this hand and didnt think he could really have anything that he could call a shove with

Thats all i got for today though, got to get to sleep to play some more tomorrow.
Update: 30k hands today up 1.5k, total hands 170k
Joeingram1, Nov 09 2008
Whats up, just got done playing a little while ago today, played about 30k hands and was up $1.5k at 100nl. Made about 9.5k vpp to which is pretty sick.

Here is my graph so far 170k hands total

Played like 11/9 today which is alot tighter then I thought I was playing but it was a long long session and i thought i actually ran pretty bad but still made a ton.
I'll just post a few hands from the session I saved so yall can check them out and tell me what u think about my weird plays
This hand I 3 bet the UTG raiser from utg+1 and get flatted from a guy in MP, on the flop I just check/fold KK which is pretty crazy but I cant really beat any possible hand he might do this with except AK/QQ but I felt like he was a pretty solid player so he probably would flat AA here a ton of the time, so decided to just give up on it right away

This hand I raise UTG and nit freddy who is also doing the most hands prop bet with me 3 bets me from the blinds, I've usually found this is always AA, KK, and rarely AK but always AA it seems like so on the flop when I hit my set I'm not super excited and on the turn I can only beat AK but decided to just fold like a nit lol he said he had AK later to me so im sad now

Joeingram1, Nov 06 2008
Whats up blog readers, I'm starting my first poker blog on here for my prop bet I'm having on 2plus2. I need to play 600k full ring hands on PokerStars this month 25nl and above, will be giving updates on here and posting some other fun stuff along the way.
I play as JoeIngram1 on stars, the kid holding the money in the avatar is me, I'm sure the other regs out there love me! Will be keeping this blog for quite awhile as I am going after Supernova Elite next year (which I will get for sure) so bookmark it and check it out from time to time.
