I agree with jlost

I'm sort of tilted after downswing breakevening for the past 10k hands. I'm doing a lot of experimenting with my basic strategy and static ranges and maybe getting better maybe not, but there has been some growing pains and while Holdem is alot simpler than something like Omaha there are still quite a bit of situations to standardize and its been alot of mindpower trying to get that under control. Im insanely behind whatever curve there is in the poker world and its kind of depressing thinking about how good probably some of the regs are on this site (Song,Longple,Marshall, etc). I had a shitty session yesterday and today so I'm blogging to be a little less annoyed. I guess this is a late november results post. Made around 2.2k live and a bit online as you can see by the graph. Some hands got lost from the 23rd I guess from Bovada's customer service getting raided. I think I was at around 3.7k in October and with bonuses a bit over 4k for November. December is starting out pretty shitty so far. Anyway I wanted to make a winning month blog post just in case December keeps going like this and I never win at poker ever.


+ $500.00 in lost hands.

I graduated in 2010...I think there are a couple of other people on this board that graduated around that time and many have took varying paths. I worked a corporate accounting job for roughly a year but for whatever reason i was pretty depressed doing that and i ended up moving on from that in the summer of 2012.

Anyway I had lived in Jersey and went to State school and it was pretty toxic to think about being a joe in New Jeresy. I moved to San Diego for life experience stuff and pretty much paid the bills for awhile working at yet another crap accounting position at a small firm. I wasn't doing very well and I was exploring life options but I was still lost and didn't know what to do with my life at this point...I got to backgrounds with SDPD, considered the CPA/CFA, etc. In a pretty random series of events involving my parked car getting hit as a third party to an accident, I drove to vegas to play poker as a vacation. I arrived around Sep 30th and have stayed since then.

Right now I am playing live poker with a bankroll of ~22k (though close to 7k is locked up in long-term stocks so effectively ~15k). I am doing ok and paying my bills while saving a bit for my bankroll. I had bought roughly 800 dollars in BTC which is probably around $2500 now but I think I forgot my tormail password so I'm trying to get that unlocked fml, lol..

It was pretty random but I played a top-5 german live tourney crusher at low-stakes cash recently. He was killing time with his non-professional friends while getting free drinks. It was pretty fun poker and a bit of motivation, but depressing that others are so robusto and I'm sooo busto at the moment, lol.

I've been through a lot of shit since graduating in 2010. I think as a person I have progressed quite a bit but still have to figure out how to make it in the ultra-competitive world. It is depressing to think about the probabilities of that. It is also a bit frustrating playing live poker. My online experience was pretty derailed once I decided to (do the smart thing) of getting a job after graduating and the subsequent onset of black friday and I think my game has been ok at times but I have to work to have it not break down. Improvements are difficult for various reasons and I have inexperience in certain spots that translate to leaks and not great logic.

So pretty much right now I'm a pos paying my bills saving a bit and waiting on a modest trust fund, lol fml.

Poll: How Neat /Organized are you?
(Vote): Clothes, old papers, all over bedroom. 1-2 days old food on desk. bathroom/kitchen a mess.
(Vote): little better. some clothes and papers on floor/desk. kitchen/bathroom manageable
(Vote): "tidy"
(Vote): stay@home mom level
(Vote): patrick bateman level


Sorry for being non-descript on options 3,4,5. It's cause I'm only at level 2.

edit: I realized I suck at making polls.

If you happen to be option 1 or option 5, how old are you and why are you such a slob/sicko?
