Well I havent updated my blog in forever, having mostly kept to myself as far as poker theory goes, perhaps because I'm on to a few ideas I dont want to talk about, perhaps to save myself the embarrassment of more fail posts. Regardless, what makes this update special is the fact that I'm actually posting results. This is a first for me, because until now I have never had results worth posting. I started this blog after reading about Daniel embarking on this 5 buyin bankroll strategy as a personal challenge just to see if he could do it. The idea being that since he only plays 1 table, 500 big blinds is plenty to play with. Well I also only play one table, so I figured what the hell, gives me new purpose in poker life.
Now I havent exactly kept true to this BRM strategy until this month, basically because every time I had some limited success I would take my newfound roll and use it for other things. Like suddenly abandoning the challenge and putting in time at the SNG's, or just taking the roll and making a legitimate attempt at grinding the micro's properly.
But before I go on to that, lets get on with business. My first ever results post! Why? Because it's the first month I have shown any profit! EVER!
Now I'm sure i'll get some *eyes roll* responses because this hardly seems legendary. But 5000 hands playing a single table at a time actually take some work! So I WILL sit here and be proud of this as if I have accomplished something and I WILL consider this sustainable after a 30 day run.... FUCK YOU, LET ME HAVE THIS!@ 
And now, the coup d'état, drum roll please. My lifetime graph results. Rather than having much to say, I'll just let the graph do the talking. The captions pretty much sum everything up.
And lastly, the awesome sauce in all of this is that I'm almost out of my poker deficit. I had never lost sight of the fact that technically, I'm still down. I swore I would never let myself put on the horse blinders and forget about where I'm really at as I all too often see from those who have never shown a profit yet think they are the shiznit during their single good run of the week at one table.
So where do I go from here? Well, to be honest, I'm pick pocketing my own account here as I desperately need to pad my real life bankroll due to such shitty economic circumstances these days. I've had my salary cut a whopping 35% this year, and of course every other expense has gone nowhere but up. I'm grateful to still have a job, no doubt the result of simply being friends with upper management, since we have laid off about 30% of our workforce and they could let go of me if they wanted. The good thing is, at the stakes I'm playing, a single good session gives me all the cashout I need. The bad thing is, a single bad session means a drop in limits, or potentially blowing my poker career. I have an opportunity right now. I could embark on some training, make a real case for myself and play NL100. People can practically make a living at NL100. Or I could donk it up a little with fewer tables at NL200 even. But neigh, I feel the planets are aligning, fate is descending upon me, and that I have a rare opportunity here to thrust myself to a level where I can become financially secure just in the nick of time, like when my company collapses. I'm going to continue on this run, and hope to do something amazing here, beat Daniel to the punch, and get myself out of this rat hole called every day life.
So here's to another silly graph next month. If you dont hear from me by then, I probably blew it.
