Ran pretty well, attempted to move up and proceeded to play like crap. Back down to 25nl and the grind session. On the upside I made back everything I lost and then some after I moved back down so. I'll give it another good soon enough, from the life standpoint things are just peachy. My brother's getting married Saturday so I'm keeping busy helping him make sure everything is in order. I also took the time today to fill out my cobra election and move my 401k into an IRA while I work on finding a job that doesn't involve selling insurance.....I think that may be a difficult task until the Acuity thing opens up. I got another offer to sell the shit today, but seriously who wants to sell insurance....
Up until now I regard my poker 'career' as pathetic, I've had small stints and made some cash, and then not played for months- this has happened repeatedly. I've always been thinking about the game, watching videos, reading forums, but what good is that without actually playing? I definitely enjoy the game so I don't know why I've been so lazy, it just reflects my last few years altogther.
Last month I at least put a fair number of hands in over a two week period, mostly to unlock the free 80k VPP from Stars. In all honestly I only ended up playing those hands because I thought I could put $400 on Stars and get the 7500VPP needed on NL25 in no time... I should have really checked that with some NL25 players T_T anyway I soon moved up to NL50 and got it done.
I cashed out most of my money (all from FTP, left about $500 on Stars) to go on holiday with around May 21st. I didn't have any choice in this, I'm not in a good financial state so I needed the extra cash. I decided that in June I was going to start taking my life and everything I do seriously, no more half arsed efforts. For poker this meant quitting or really putting some work in and seeing if I can make some serious money.
I restarted on June 4th so 5 days have elapsed so far. I started by padding my bankroll at NL25, quickly moved up to NL50 and continued there. I needed about 1.4k VPP for Supernova this morning and decided it would be a good idea to earn all of that today. Normally I like to 4-6 table full size tables and focus on all my opponents, I suck at playing 'robotic' mass tabling poker. Mass tabling actually tilts the hell out of me, I was spewing all over the place with my readless plays. I appreciate players like 20 Buck Spin on a whole new level now, crushing high stakes on tons of tables- I now realise more than ever that I suck at this game. So 16 tabling 6max today just to get Supernova resulted in a shit breakeven day (+$17 in 6k hands rofl) ruining my healthy winrate, thankfully I DID get Supernova and also the $160 cash bonus so it wasn't all bad.
So far in June + $1k in cash games and + $180 in bonuses, with Supernova unlocked. Hoping to move up to NL100 by the end of this week. I'm aiming for my best month ever and to have enough money to stay at whatever limit I reach since I will inevitably need to cash out more money at the end of the month.
I know I dont tilt a lot but today I couldnt resist it.. The whole atmosphere here was tiiiiltmode so it took control over my body and made me do things I normally wouldnt do at all.
After my morning grind I was up about 5BI but since I was hijacked by some tiltforce I made that drop considerable. So totally I ended down 2 BI for the day. Gahhh..
dont think I will play more tonight.. maybe after a good movie or w/e.. new update tomorrow!
Today I didn’t have much time for poker. I had exam from English today and after I completely screwed up writing part of exam it was a drama a bit, but from oral part I had maximum points and finally passed. I played only short session in the evening finished break even.
In the afternoon I won heads up tournament on CakePoker. Buy in was 10$ and 28 players registered. For first place I took 130$. I also played two another MTT with small buy in but with no result. In the evening I played 100+9$ freezout tournament but after second break I was on shortstack and lost my AQ against KJ.
I played two sessions today and finally finished well. I won 68$ in 599 hands.
I still continue watching videos and reading articles.
It's been a while since I last updated. Well, this is how it has gone since the beginning of may.
May
May was a awesome month. It started off, where I had spewed almost half my bankroll of $600 at the end of April so I could secure SilverStar again. So I was down to about $230. I had to change things in May. I took my finals, and I got off academic probation! I played 1c/2c and 2c/5c for about a week or two, then played 5c/10c.

Late May, I went to Turning Stone Resort & Casino with a friend, here's my post from 2+2.
So, I have been getting my friend into poker, and he has been able to beat the microstakes on pokerstars for sometime now, so we decided to give it a shot at a local casino. The closest one was Turning Stone, so we drive 10 hours to Verona / Rome New York.
Apparently New York sucks ass at signs. We were to get off on exit 16A on I-81. Well, unlike every other state, where the exit number is located by what mile they’re at. So instead of mile 16, it’s around mile marker 80 or so. Finally we get to Verona New York. We pass the casino at like 8:30 pm and are like “holy ****, there it is!!!” It’s my second casino to go to 1st was the Monte Carlo in Monaco, and his first casino.
We smoke a few cigarettes, to relax and fall asleep for the grinding the next day.
Day 1) I make $200 at $1/$2 in ~2 hours against super fish, limp/call every hand. 13$ raise from UTG they instasnap with K4s etc… then they play hit or miss poker.
My friend on the other hand had better luck, he ends up making $400. We grab some lunch, smoke a few cigarettes relax and feel good about making a couple hundred in the matter of a few hours. We were living the life. We decided to hit the casino a bit longer, and we both sit at the same table for 200NL and he loses a buy-in and I make another.
We call it quits and go back to Rome New York to get some rest.
Day 2) We both play at the same table, and about 3-4 hours into it I’m up about a buy-in and a half, and my friend is down a buy-in and a half.
Then this hand happens:
Ten players are in the hand. I fold, and start playing with my chips, talking to some kid with a fraternity hat on. Then I hear my friend say, “All-in”.
I’m thinking, god damn it. He’s going busto day 2. I don’t want to stake him! Oh well, hope he wins! Guy in seat 2 snap calls, as does the guy to my left.
Flop: As 2s 7d
2 players are all-in.
Turn: 4s
River: 2h
The guy in seat position 2 shows KQs for the nut flush.
My friend shows 22 for quad 2’s
Guy to his right shows 3s5s for the Straight Flush.
Right before the dealer gives the chips to the guy with the straight flush, the player next to my friend quietly says, “That’s the Bad Beat Jackpot!”
So everyone realizes this and very quietly make sure it is true. The dealer (Joe?) calls “Floor!” and it gets approved and the Bad Beat Jackpot was really there.
It was 90 days since the last day someone hit the Bad Beat Jackpot, so $100,000 was in it.
My Friend got $50,000 for losing with quads.
Guy to his right, my left got $25,000
Everyone else got $3,125.
My friend gave me $5,000 for teaching him poker/money he owed me for food/gas/money I loaned him etc…
So Day 2 ends and I make ~$8,600.
My Friend makes $45,000.
We decide to quit for the day and relax and feel good about ourselves. We after all made an ungodly amount of money in 2 days! So we go back to our hotel room, order some cheap Chinese food, and enjoy the fuck out of the best Chinese food we ever had. For $9 each, it was AMAZING.
Day 3 – 5) We both pretty much breakeven and just relax, and tell the story about how the Bad Beat Jackpot went down like a hundred times.
Overall, we had great trip to Turning Stone. We’ll probably return there later this summer. We drive back to Virginia on Tuesday June 2nd. I’m now using the money I made to get my Private Pilots License as its always been a dream for me to fly planes, and now I have the money to do it (costs ~$6k).
I guess that’s it for now.
Total May Results
$270.74 online
$8,600 live
$8,870 total profit.
June So Far
June has been going pretty well. I had to cash out $300 for my trip to NY and I still have not deposited a single dollar onto online poker, and I intend not to. So, I start the month with $250.
I hope to get a $500 bankroll so I can be rolled for NL25 in a week. Current Bankroll: $378 as I transfered a friend $30 to start messing around online.
Is it considered running hot or running cold if I flop the nut boat 10 times in 30 minutes but get 2 outtered in half of them? Cause at first you think you're running godly cause how many times can that K55 flop show up when you're holding KK? But then it's like, how many aces are in the deck that one always hits the turn? I guess it depends on the +/- of your bankroll and I'm breakeven so I guess I'm not running hot or cold.
Swingy as fuck. Last two months have had the same pattern of god running for 4 days, then losing it all in the next 3 days. Hopefully my month/summer doesn't end up looking like a giant Cos curve
Been having a pretty reasonable recovery since June began, had one -1100 day but have been averaging a reasonable profit most days! I'm definitely feeling a lot better about things, and am not pulling my hair out with stress anymore :D
This month I've played tennis for the first time EVER. I think we've played 3-4 times so far and wow its a really fun game. I suck balls, but whatever, will rapidly improve to a reasonable level. I'm currently stuck -10 in tennis bet games (we're balling outrageous with $10-20 a game), and everytime I'm on myth's team I totally blow the game and we get raped. The first day we all played together I lost 4 games on myth's team, changed teams to be against him... started playing reasonably.. and pooruser and I beat him and his partner citizenwind for 2 games. Its definitely all me doing the losing too, lol.. SORRY MYTH <3
