f this shit

Worst day ever for me as far as money is concerned. More importantly it was my first session back from my break and it destroyed the confidence I have built up recently...feelings of I was just on a 52k hand heater start to creep into my mind. I played like shit, ran like shit. I need to get myself together. My goal is to make $10k in January which should be easily possible if I can just gather myself.

so im switchin to become a part student next semester (probably) meaning i will have a fuckton more time to play poker and just sit around. Was thinkin bout starting to write a daily or by daily sciece/history article. Im not the best at science or anything but it may interest some ppl. So my question is: is anyone interested in me doin this and also if i decide to do it cuz there is enough interest init should i make a thread or just keep the articles in my blog?


Poll: should i write a random interesting sciece article bi-daly for ppl her
(Vote): yes and put it in my blog
(Vote): yes make a thread for it and also so other ppl can write articles
(Vote): no...fuck it



edit: also if anyone has suggestions of what i should write the first one comment it...i was thinkin either astrophysics of planets....quantum physics star travel...evolution of traits like those seen by animals in avatar...rough outline of the history of science from ancient greece to now (who did what and how it influenced other)

fuck you 3/6..fuck you



i still technically have 1 bi left since i was taking a 10bi shot. But with how i'm running and the mindset I'm in I feel i'd just spew it. Taking the rest of today off, going to grind 2/4 on Wednesday-Sunday hopefully will kick some ass and get my confidence back. Believe I will play 2/4 until I go to florida where I'll then have to take a 6 day break from poker. If I'm feeling good about things after the break I will take another shot at 3/6.


here's my br management plan

Roll currently 20.8k...will play 2/4 til I get my roll back up to 26k. Then will take another 10 bi shot at 3/6, if my roll drops down to 20k again I will go back to 2/4 and regrind til i'm back up to 26k, rinse and repeat til i'm winning at 3/6. If my roll drops to 10k I will move down to 1/2, 5k move down to .5/1 etc.

does anyone think this is bad br management?

So right now I hate my school/major with a passion and can guarantee I won't be a chemical engineer ever in my life. But I will graduate this spring with a bachelors in it. I was going to get a masters in the 4 years but decided to drop it simply due to it requiring a large amount of work I don't see a point in doing when I won't be that as a living or anything close to it. My current life plan is to play poker for a living after I get out of school while having a part time job somewhere where i'm insanely over qualified (like receptionist or some easy 16 hrs a week shit) mostly just to maintain a social life (plus a steady paycheck will be nice). Thinking that I will probably be a 2/4 grinder (which I'm currently playing) when I graduate in May (maybe 3/6 keepin my fingers crossed). I have a friend who I can live with from may to December for super cheap, like 400 a month total rent since he is going to be taking an extra semester to graduate. Also I am planning on becoming a part time student next semester, I only need to take one more class to graduate, so i'm going to take that class alone and use the spare time to put more time/focus into poker and having fun. Maybe try and actually put in like 35 or 40k hands in a month instead of the 20-23k I normally put in right now.

There's my plan, now here's the problem. Parents don't know this. My mom knows I want to play poker for a living and is OK with it, but she doesn't know I dropped the masters and that I want to switch to part time. But talking with her about life isn't my main concern, it's the talk with my dad. My dad doesn't know how much poker I play, or that I want to play it for a living. He thinks I want to become an engineer or enter the professional world with some other full time job or go to grad school. Everyone in my dads family is a lawyer or doctor from a prestigious school I mean Yale/Brown/Harvard/etc. I will be the first one to not do this and will be looked down on by the family. My grandparents have both said they will cut me off of any money if I continue to play poker (they said this like 2 years ago).

I have to tell my parents, bout my future life plans over xmas break (at the latest). I am wondering if anyone has advice for how to carry out this conversation, arguments to make about it, etc. The largest argument of, "look at how much money I'm making" won't work because for my dads family it's not about money it's about job bragging about how great there kids are. What ways would you approach this problem, I'm sure someone on this website had to face a similar problem at some point.

Also any criticisms of my life plan, like back up of bachelors in engineering from a top 20 school with a 3.3 or so GPA isn't good enough, or what part time jobs to look for are welcome.

Goals of the month were 50k hands and 16k profit. Here is how october has been so far. Running damn good on the month, so now I am only 1.5 buyins below lifetime 2/4 . 30k hands into 2/4 I'm running at like 4.92bb/100. Starting to play well though and think I may be getting the hand of 2/4 so I will have to see if i get some respectable volume in next month and start raping souls.

Normally my red line is slightly below 0, but today was ridiculous and days like today are the reasons my graphs always have horrible red lines...4-5 days of break even or positive red lines, and then this.




But up on the day and still winning at 12.5bb/100 on the month...about 1.6k above ev on the month , but still 500 below ev on my shot so far. Total shot stats, 19k hands, 6.69bb/100 winrate...hope it keeps up.

ran like complete shit today, final hand to finish it off was AA losing to KK all in pre. I used to joke about how i was running so far below ev, but now the fact that i'm only up $292 in my first 7.5k hands of 400nl is really fucking annoying when i'm 3.6k below ev (including the 1.5k below ev I ran today). But going to take monday off to study for a test on tuesday. See how things go and maybe play on tuesday remotivated and energized, ready to kick ass at 400nl.
