Was a pretty good month poker wise, mostly thanks to the first 7 or 8 days of the month before I went back to University. School and partying with my buddies alot more has definately cut into my poker time. School is well school... I enjoy spending alot more time with my buddies...

Overall a very, very good year for me, I accomplished far more then I ever thought possible in poker and also manged to keep an 80+ average in my 2 semesters of university (industrial engineering) and had a successful workterm as well. The hard work I put into becomming a competent heads up player really paid off for me. After anal...

Sometimes you just have to put your head down and grind through the variance and what seems like an endless asskicking from the poker gods. Anyways no need to make this too long, I will do a year end update in a couple...

Fortunately I got to come home and get absolutely smoked by some fish my first day back (see below), just adding to a downswing that is now over 2k in the last 5k hands. On a good note I am still feeling confindent in my game and managing ...

Pretty proud of where I have come over the last 4 months :D. Unfortunately my I lost all my data from july, which was my biggest month yet (>10k). Anyways here are the results.

Although downswing is definately not the right word since this was definately the result of terrible play and tilt... but w.e..

I have not been this dissapointed with my poker game in for a while. I still managed to produce a decent profit but that is little consolation. I made so many mistakes all over the place and practically gave away half of my profits. Also, mentally I am just not where I need to be, I tilt banned/cashed out for a week due to tilt issues. I think my lack of time ...

Last Thursday I was at a bar with a bunch of my buddies when I decided to take off a little early (worked at 5:30am the previous morning so i was tired). So I left the bar and started walking home since my house was only a few blocks away from the house. I was waiting at the cross walk at a fairly busy intersection. The pedestrian walk light came on and I began w...

However, still was a fairly successful month, had a little bit of a rocky past week or two but rallied back to have a strong finish. I am off to go party with some friends out of town for the weekend, followed by my birthday monday so I wont have much of a chance...

On the other hand somehow I managed to fit in a few hours of poker mon,tues,wed nights....

Started my co-op job on monday, seems like a deadly place to work although its seriously going to cut into my poker time.

This summer has been a whirlwind of university, partying, golfing and of course a lot of poker. God knows how many hands I have played these last few months probably 150k+. Decided that I should start playing HU in june and it has been going pretty well, managed to make like 10k CAD between june and the first couple weeks of july (Mix of 50nl/100nl 6max and...

December was a good start for me to get back into back after a long break. Managed to grind a $485 bankroll into just under $6k in the month. Looking back there was some ups and downs, and a hell of a lot of grinding but the thing I am most proud of is my commitment to becomi...

Obviously I am new to liquid poker so I thought I would give a basic background about who I am and about my poker game. So here goes: I have been playing NL 6max for about 2.5 years now off and on. I have built up several 4 digit rolls and subsequently withdrawn the money to pay for school (I'm in my 3rd year of Industrial Engineering) and other expenses...
