Played way too many tables, I had 19 at one point. Its too much for me, too much stress. I need to cut down to 15 max at a time. Really on Sundays I should really pick my favourite tournaments. So, I was thinking about cutting out Party Poker tournaments and just play maybe two on that site. The structure of their tournaments is just so shit, I can't stand it. Also, when they move you to another table the window pops up on my other LCD top right corner and it bothers the shit out of me... LOL
The rest of the week I have off, I'm going camping to Tobermory with a bunch of people. I'm very excited to go back. I was there in the beginning of July to start my summer and there's pics of it on the site. It'll be good to start my summer camping and end it with camping. Hopefully, there won't be very many mosquetoes...
Well take care readers, and good luck on the felt and I'll be posting pics on Saturday.
Very disappointed with my August. Didn't get to play that many hands (a lot of that is primarily HU), ran terrible with a lot of frustration as well, and also didn't last very long in the APPT Macau main event (I was prob like 180th place out of 429 or so). Next month I've definitely got to step it up :|. I blame baccarat though, I'm down like 2k on there lifetime. F table games.
1.3k Online, 2.1k Rakeback, 1.1k Live = 4.5k
Not much else to say. Macau is a GREAT city if all you care about is sex and gambling, but besides that the city is so empty. I spent my 21st birthday here a couple nights ago though, and had a blast just being w/ my homies etc.
I'm leaving Macau in 2 days, back to Taiwan. After that it's going to be Macau AGAIN for the Macau Poker Cup late October, then APPT Cebu, Philippines in November.
Four more months to go, I'm at roughly +70k on the year so I gotta make ~7k a month to get to 100k+. Wish me luck
So that's $969 in buy ins. It's not a lot at all, but I'm still going to try selling some action because I'm having some cash flow problems right now and need to cash out a big chunk of my roll (rent, bills, TEXTBOOKS =[, more bills, etc).
I'm going to probably sell up to 90% of my action in these, with no markup (so buying 10% would cost $96.90). Here are my stats since starting to play MTTs seriously, which was in April of this year:
I've been playing about 30-36 MTTs a day ranging from $2 to $55 buy ins recently in the last few weeks, and I've been posting a shitload of hands while playing if anyone wants to check those out. If any of you are interested then PM me or whatever and we can work something out. Thanks!
GL all,
Joe
P.S. - It would also be cool if I could just get some kind of long-term backing deal with someone, because now that I have to cash out this money that won't be coming back I'm going to be stuck in micro and low MTTs again, which I would not like to do if I don't have to. The only problem with my volume is that I can really only play sundays for the most part because I have 8am class 5 days a week and 18 credits that I need to do really well in, but 35 tourneys each week is still about 140 tourneys a month. If anyone is interested in something like that it would be awesome - just let me know. Thanks again!
Swingy month, but ended well. Spewed a few BI vs river fish, but still managed to pay the rent
Cleared half of the $300 stars bonus as well, so no complaints
Thanks to all previous posters on the hands I put up, very helpful!
Chemistry time.
Peace LP~
I'm b/e ONLINE for the month right this second if you include rakeback. I've hardly played live since the first week of august where I busted all of my cash (almost.. expenses have been eating into the tiny remainder). God what a rough month this has been...
Hoping to post a good result next month at live & online. Hopefully playing well online too.. gonna need to get some sweats n stuff.
I accidentally registered for a HU sng deep no blind increase. The guy I played was 20+tabling these. The thing is, he only played AA. He literally folded everything else. Maybe he was playing KK, dunno. HH:

Anyways I've had a ton of sleep and got my grinder hat on so it's time for big scores and some run good.

Also my Favorite song atm....
Think this is my 2nd or 3rd biggest month ever. Was down for the month a week ago or something.
Other then that I'm off to dinner with a few old friends and then we've got tickets for Inglorious Bastards or however Tarantino wants it spelled. Also sat with 13k or something on a 10/20 table yesterday. Never had that much money on a table before, so that felt kinda cool. Getting a fairly good grasp of hold'em I feel, but still leaking a lot of money trying to play omaha. Guess I'll need to learn it sooner or later though.
Also, thanks to SugoGosu for recommending Street Dogs. Two Angry Kids and Kevin J. O'Toole are both really nice songs.
made hands, got paid, lost some REALLY absurd absurd hands to 90/40 types but not bad for 6 hours. won small amt at 2/4 again, something wrong with the universe??
Looks like money goal will be met and things will kick off in 2 days. I both can't wait and am dreading it.
