Blegh, August was lame. Quick recap.
Started off the month strong grinding hard and doing well. I had just finished coaching so my confidence was at an all time high and i was having np exploiting the regs who play bad post flop, and the regs who play bad preflop. Then i hit a few huge downswing days, one -5bi, one 6-7BI and one -9~ BI or so. It was just tired/moody + run bad + play bad.
Then i grinded through that (albeit grudgingly) and then hit another snag for a small 5k hand sample where i didnt quite hold in all in pots that well and ran about 7 BI below ev. Again, this was just standard variance and i grinded through that as well.
I played nowhere near the amount of volume i should have this summer, i had made a plan to myself to basically be semi-proish for 4 months but i just never committed the time to play more than 2-4 hrs a day. It was also compounded by the fact i'd rather go out and hang with friends, or i'd just be like eh whatever and not play poker if i didn't feel like it.
My school schedule is pretty chill for september, but i'm aiming for straight A's this year so poker time will have to be reschedule. I can definetly fit in poker + school + life, as long as i balance..this is what i've learned over the past 4 months. You must must must MUST make sure you, yourself are in good mental and physical shape. Once you are, everything else just falls into place because you're not sleeping in, feeling groggy, then having to jam in a poker session when you feel like shit.
Anyway..
August:
Profits: +1700 @ nl100 over 60k hands
+256 T$ after owning some FTP pro in a sng thing. Her name was S.gremnakova or whatever and she was a big fan of overbet shoving preflop everytime she had AJ+. Eventually i minraised her button @ 100/200 (i think), and after folding 5 times in a row she finally defended. flop 452 rainbow, she checks, i bet 1/2 pot, she shoves, i snap with AA she has Q8o? lolol
+450 @ nl200 over 1k hands
Rakeback: +940
Total: +3346 for the month.
Really disappointed because i could have made far more =[ , honestly there was no reason for me to not have a minimum +30 BI month, what with coaching and all...i was my own worst enemy really, and didnt put in the hands because i slept in so much + ran bad and didnt want to play. I need to focus less on results and just focus on getting better - the money will come naturally.
OH WELL, you live and you learn.
Whiffed my August goals, but going to try again in sept.
Sept Goals:
40k hands @ nl100, 20k hands @ nl200 whatever i make, i make
Exercise 3x a week
Help coach microstakes players to improve myself (which, if anyone is interested in i'd be glad to sweat you a session or 2)
get off to a really strong start in school. aiming for A's
FIGURE OUT WHY PTR is so broken and says i havent made any money at nl100? :o loloool

Gw, keep it up.
Also, I'd be interested in some sweating sessions if you don't mind. |
