This is coming at a good time. As I previously said, I want to put more effort into the game and work on tournament play.
Today I woke up in the morning, everything started good. Sun was shining had some stuff do to early in the morning. Got back home and started grinding 6 tables of 6max 1/2. First session lasted about 3 h. Finally after loosing all possible flips and got it in AA versus KQo - 10A2JQ. had enough of this wonderful game for a little bit. Decided to take a little break. Ate a bit tried to relax my mind and somehow got over most of the tilt.
After an hour or so I decided to make a new session. Didn't start very hot, was down like 1,5 bi early in the session. Then recovered, managed to climb to the positive side of the graf for a little. Then started the depressing fall down the cliff agin. When I at the end of the session lost the KK vs QQ and AK 3way pot, I thought that i should start thinking about finishing up with the session.After loosing set to flush and AK vs JJ, finally came the hand where I had A7 flopped A72 two pair and got it in against AQ. River came the Q and instantly closed all my tables. Ending the second session with a cool -5 bi as well. Never had such a bad downswing in one day yet in my life.
Now i am thinking about going out and drinking myself wasted as hell... Seems like the only logical thing to do. Maybe then all the misfortune in the world that is for some reason on my shoulders will decide to go away and tomorrow I can happily start climbing from the deep, narrow and abysmal chasm to once again see the sunshine on top of the hill of moneygraf.

-50k Downswing, Year End Reflect, SNE!!, GF picsby Joeingram1, January 08
I haven't blogged for about a month now and have been getting alot of PM's asking if I am going to blog and update. Had a pretty adventurous end to the year. I won my prop bet at the beginning of the month for 33k and felt on top of the world. I took my play to the mid-high stakes on stars and right away started up about +25k. Around this same time is when I started losing alot at 10/20. Soon after I found PLO.......I started up about +12k playing 5/10 PLO and thinking I ran the streets, within the next 3-5 sessions of playing to many tables/bad game selection/to much HU/running super horrible, i was -20k in the game. Nice like 35k swing. Yes some of it was running bad but most of it was the tilt/playing bad/lack of self control that led to all of this. Soon after this I was jumping back and forth from PLO and NO limit and basically losing at both. I went home to Chicago for Christmas and while there I dropped another 15k in one session of 3/6 PLO, i mean what the fuck am I thinking at this point. Pretty soon my +25k month at the tables turned into being a -25k month at the tables. GG $50,000 dollars.
At the time of all this I was a little mad/sad about it all but really not that affected. I have been trying to figure out why that was. About 1.5 years ago when I started playing poker, I had nothing, no money, no car, was just living in Chicago in the city. Grinding it out, hooking up with random city women, hanging with friends, going to beach. 1,000 dollars seemed like 1 million to me at the time. Over awhile I started actually making money though, bought a nice car, nice bed, fancy clothes, ton of fun toys/amenties, took trips, ate awesome food. I never really thought I would have any of this stuff to be honest at age 24 or ever in my life really, so the fact that I can lose all that money and I still have this other stuff left over plus a good amout online/offline when before I had nothing kinda helps me not feel as bad. Idk if this is good also and is probably really hurtfull overall in the long run. People have suggested that setting some goals for myself and practicing a better bankroll management will be good for me and I agree. I really don't act like the money is real/usually just try to run it up as high as I possibly can before hitting the inevitable losing. I am trying to come up with some for this year/the near future, whether that be buying a home, new car, invest a certain amount in long term, or something of that nature. Still really undecided on what I want to achieve and until I figure all that out, I fear I may have more repeats in the future.
I did end the year up a good amount from a combination of my prop bets/fpp/milestone/tables/stakes and live play so all was not to bad about 2009.
All of that said I have been trying to come up with a good plan for this year. I am 100 percent going for SuperNova Elite this year as I feel I can attain it fairly easily and won't take to much time for me to do so. I am hoping to get better at mass tabling PLO and become a slight winner/breakeven player while collect mass amounts of VPP. Will be starting the year off playing 100/200nl 6max and some plo100. I also became "official" with the girl I posted in my last blog that some interesting comments to say the least lol. I am finding it interesting to find some common balance between hanging out with her/playing alot of volume of poker. She gets mad at me because my sleep schedule isn't normal and I am bad at sticking to a plan but thats how I have been the past 2 years. It is hard to just snap out of all that while still being a poker player. We spent New years together with some other friends and had a pretty great time, also took a little mini-vacation to Palm Springs and got to do a little hiking in the mountains, I defintly sucked it up during all of this and kept falling on my ass lol.
Here are some pics, hopefully better thoughts this time lol
She does lurk the blog comments so hopefully the comments aren't that mean-spirted this time around as I don't think she looks bad as is very beautiful in person haha
Going to start posting more frequent updates as I go towards with SNE
Current VPP: 25,200- On, Pace
Monthly Profit: Not good lol, need to combine both databases
As always thanks much for reading and leave comments
