Terrible day, lost at everything I did, -1600 or someth but I just had an "oh my god holy shit" moment. will report in a few days and see if it mattered

This annoyed me

so I logged onto facebook for God knows why, I hate that thing, and first status update or whatever I see is: "I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." ~Marilyn Monroe. Admitting you're [censored] half the time doesn't make you strong, or make you insightful and ...

13k table profit, 4k milestone, 3k bonus = good month last month. had to ship off a bunch of it tho started off superhot last night, ran like death this afternoon (4 times overset in 400 hands lol come on), bentley runs like jesus christ constantly, etc etc but up 500 over like 8.5k so shit happens. gotta play better. need 158k vpp this month to make my 600k milestone. going away for 1.5 ...

Forgot I had this thing

effen — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:22:07 +0000

Cliffs for last 3 months: Complete failure going for elite Won 500 fpp sat to 10k fpp sat to EPT London, binked that, 3rd lvl mincash at EPT, ship 13.5k. 9.7k in 2 WCOOP events Didn't play at all for like 6 weeks. Broke totally even when I did. Realized not hitting milestones is incredibly stupid. Realized I'm REALLY behind for hitting the 600k one (432k atm lol) Grinding like I never ha...

Epic Failure

effen — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:21:43 +0000

Hey look, a blog

Whatever

effen — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:46:10 +0000

kinda frustrating day, ran 800 below EV. 7082 hands for $591. shoulda played more but kept having to take breaks after getting crapped on by the RNG. d'oh. BR: $22,115 VPPs: 329,923

not bad

effen — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:16:44 +0000

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. [img]http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/341/liberty.jpg[/img] BR: $21,524 VPPs: 326,254

A small update

effen — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 00:12:18 +0000

Haven't gotten to play much at all the last week to 10 days, real life has basically taken all of it and sapped a lot of my will to play. I'm still swonging like nuts when I do get some hands in. I'm still planning on making a crazy ass late push. The stated goal was 20k br by Sept 1, well I hit that tonight but I'm going to have to cash out at least 1500 to pay for Septembers expenses. Buuu...

Slacking already

effen — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:08:46 +0000

Had a weird day today, started off with a session and played the $27 wcoop sat to a $215 event, the 500 fpp sat to whatever, and a $23 HUSNG. Broke mostly even, eventually shut off the tables as I sort of got near the bubble of the $27 sat, and busted that. Shortly after busted the 500 fpp, and actually kinda said fuck it and played the HUSNG weird and kinda poorly. I started to fire up another...

The long slow road

effen — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 03:17:28 +0000

Woke up this morning, played 3k hands of 100NL and promptly dropped 4 BI to more of the same from last night. It was only after that point that the gravity of losing ~30% of my bankroll in under 24 hours hit. Gotta admit I was pretty crushed for a few hours. Had a pretty great dinner though and it was back to the grind. [img]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8578/betteru.jpg[/img] Still ...

Suicide Time

effen — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:05:54 +0000

Well, while there's no GOOD time to have your worst poker day ever, this would be especially bad at the start of this undertaking. Not much to say on this, I bricked more than I thought possible, no one ever folded to cbets (or double barrels), it seemed I was OOP all day, 3 oversets, a flush < flush, 3 KK < AA, when I made the pure nuts it never got paid, when I made a hand they pretty m...

Day 1 or something

effen — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 03:49:17 +0000

Had to spend like 4 hours of today helping someone out, then another 6 hours helping my mom do crap, not helped by the 20 minute drive home taking 70 minutes because of pretty much no reason on the Merritt Parkway. All that said, I got some hands in so the day at least wasn't a total loss. [img]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/139/day1o.jpg[/img] Didn't play well at all, probably 500 in...

Start of something or other

effen — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:27:37 +0000

So this is the beginning of my poker blog. As of now I'm not telling anyone about it, whether I publicize it later is to be decided. If someone manages to find it, well, good for them. This, unlike a lot of vanity blogs, is not meant public consumption and verbal fellation. So here goes: It's August 13th. I have 290k VPPs. I'm going for Supernova Elite. I realize this is marginally insan...
