November is basically over and that means exams are up next in university... always a fun time, lately I cant find any drive whatsoever to put forth an ounce of effort into school which is pretty pathetic. After this semester I have 1.5 semesters left so I dont think dropping out would be the greatest decision. School also keeps me somewhat sane in this poker lifestyle so I guess thats a good thing as well.
PCA is coming up soon and Im just about to book plane tix/getta package should be an awesome time, I went last year and really enjoyed it. A week and a half on a beach in the middle of winter sounds pretty sweet to me, I will probably be selling off about 50% of myself for the 10k at 1.1 to 1 in the near future.
Pokerwise I grinded a fair amount in November, got off to a brutal start losing -15k in the first day in a 25/50 shot, ran really well towards the middle of Nov then cooled off.
Im in the process of learning how to play PLO starting at 1/2.. I got a coach who seems awesome so far and hopefully I'll be up to the 5/10 games within a month or two. PLO is a pretty sick swingy game but it seems to be pretty profitable to be well versed in both NL and PLO so hopefully that works out well.
Ive been tempted lately to start playing more plo, and Ive put in about 5/7k hands this month in plo but I only know the very basics and not much else.. Ive looked at some coaches on 2p2 and have been talking to some and was just wondering if anyone on LP was coaching mid/high-stakes PLO
Anyways I send me a PM with pricing/credentials and stuff is anyone is intereated or if you already have my aim/msn msg me
thanks
EDIT:
Im also looking to get rid of 12k on VCpoker an ipoker skin for Stars or FTP... will pay a small vig if necessary
Well like I said in my last blog I started off the month -15k mostly in 25 50... so I decided to just focus on 5 10 for the month and hopefully grind back everything and then some.
Ive also started playing more plo just starting at 3 6 for now and its been going really well. I might look into getting a coach since I only know the very basics but thats all it seems to take at the msnl level.
Anyways this is only today on ipoker and stars... <3 ipoker so far just put money on there and doing really well
Ipoker:
Stars:
And now for the month im somehow +8 or 9k after starting -15k mostly in 5 10 nl and 3 6 plo... so decent last 3days overall
Well October started off amazing and did not end so well... I guess I cant be too annoyed at a +25kish month but still it coulda been a pretty big one :/
Also turned 21 in oct which wasnt a huge deal since I live in Canada but basically got blackout drunk and got in a fight with a bouncer halfway through the night...
Just got back from visiting kings/nutsinho/altrum and jem87 in Boston which was pretty good finally got to go out in the states without using a fake id lol.. Boston is a pretty cool town and their new 10k a month apartment is ridiculous
So here is Oct:
Then to start of Nov I lost KK vs AK for the CL of the sunday mill with about 250 ppl left which sucked and then later in the night lost about 10k in a soft 25 50 game running like shit to have my first 5 fig losing day... about -15k overall
So i have quite the grind ahead of me to get all that back and finsih + for novemeber ah well
Since when do shots go well?? been taking some pretty aggressive shots in good 25 50 games lately and been running well so far
Ive also been playing more tables than normal but cut out all distractions like browsing lp/2p2 and music and try not talking so much on aim/msn and its been working out well.
Also start training muay thai today pretty pumped about that
This is the gym I'll be training at... the ko at the end of the vid is pretty sweet aha
Also got my 21st birthday coming up which isnt all that exciting since I live in Canada but still, probably gonna go to Boston for Halloween weekend to visit nutsinho/kingsofcards as they just moved into a sick penthouse condo downtown there
Probably go to a Bruins game at some point... Nolan we gotta grab a beer or 12 lol
Well after posting my last blog Ive been on a pretty nice heater... running really well
5 10 has been going much better as has 10 20...Its also really nice to be able to take shots at 10 20 and 25 50 knowing I can always drop down to 3 6 if need be and grind it out.
Ive decided that I am gonna start training muay thai starting tomorrow which Im pretty damn excited about should be lots of fun and a great workout
Ive also finally got back into playing hockey again after a year and half or so of not playing which is awesome... Sigh as I type this the Leafs are getting crushed by Ovechkin and company.
Well apparently I really suck at 5 10 even though the regs there are shit
Even though I dont really like that allin ev bs I am running like 16k below ev in 5 10 which is a small relief I guess
I still just really cant decide if I wanna start training in Muay Thai, it will take up about 10hrs a week whereas I already have school about 15hrs a week and play poker about 20hrs a week as well as go out a fair bit so im not sure if Im gonna have enough time for it...And I really dont wanna half ass it or anything like only go to half of the workout sessions or anything like that, idk
I also just got done writing my first test of the year in accounting, at the very end of the test the prof says time up put your pencils down... so I quickly scribble an equal sign to complete a problem and he walks over and looks at me in front of everyone in the lecture hall and goes...
"Oh congratulations you just earned yourself a zero for that" like wtf
I was like well I can erase the equal sign if you really want and he just stares at me for awhile and walks away... Im like ok cool thanks for that... sweet start to the year lol and a little embarrassing as well
Just need to throw a small brag out there as my september has started off like shit so far.... was 15k below ev in my first 9 or 10k hands of 5 10, and down about that much total
So I dropped back to 3 6 for a bit to get some confidence and make some money... with school going on and everything being busy I need to stay away from big swings right now so today was nice
Im also considering starting to train in Muay Thai kickboxing but its gonna take up a lot of time while I try and grind and go to school at the same time so I am still undecided
Im just on my way out the door to ribfest with a buncha guys which should be delicious and fun
So I dont really have a whole lot of time to update, I went to vegas for a week in early July with Dzoo and met a buncha awesome guys like timdawg,pinball,saki,mipwnya, rekrul, handbanana amd other lpers... next year Ill probably be out there longer since I will finally be 21 aha.
Anyways I got off to a brutal start to the month since I didnt play at all in vegas and was rusty or something I guess, not the greatest month ever but I cant really complain... started playing a lot better towards the end of the month so hopefully keep that up in august
