End of the month

Ho hum, another month in the books. Firstly, some personal stuff, i was strongly considering dropping out of uni (2nd year mech eng) and going pro as a poker player. However, since i 've been back in leeds i've been reinspired to finish the course for a few reasons, i think i've realised how much i enjoy the uni life and i even enjoy the work (to an extent) though primarily i think it's because i have some really good mates up here and quite a few are on my course. That has motivated me to put some work in and although it's going to take a ton of effort to get a first i think it'll be worth it as i'll be done in like 20 months and it's something that no one can ever take away from me.

Obviously being a winning poker player has a lot of positives but i just feel that right now i can work really hard at uni and still develop as a poker player albeit a bit slower than if i were pro. I would like to think that come june 2009 i'll be leaving with a top class degree from a very good university and have alot of money from poker which would really be a great way to enter the 'real world' so to speak.

Anyway to this months poker results, i think i definitely played poorly in parts this month due to another attempt at 6 tabling which i just cant do successfully. I played 55 hours in september which really isnt enough especially considering i was just chillin at home for half of it.





I ran kinda bad when all in again but nothing too horrendous.

I am pretty happy with my progress as it stands. My aim was to be playing NL400 by now but the reason i am still playing NL200 is because i've had to cash out a ton from my bankroll because of problems with my student loans. I am 100% i can beat NL400 for a good rate.

As far as the next few months are concerned i am just going to try to play 30k hands a month and keep studying and progressing with my game and i still want to be at NL1000 by christmas. Although i'll be pretty happy with beating NL400 for £100+ per hour :) but who knows

have a good one

Heater!!!!

First things first, NEW TV! It's a sharp 42inch 1080p and is so sick especially with the ps3. It's so fucking heavy though. I don't really need it but it was just to reward myself for the hard work i've put into poker so far.



Had a 10k breakeven stretch last week which is super standard but can still grind on your nerves a bit. On a sick heater at the moment though so can't and won't complain. Below is the last 5 hours of poker i've played, i've been taking shots at NL400 and have been running like god which is of course always great when you are moving up stakes. To be honest it has really been a great summer and i think i am up around $16k since july 11th including rakeback which i am delighted with. My only regret is not getting away and doing enough but most of that was due to my resit exam so it's my own fault anyway.



Really want to keep plodding away at NL400 and get to NL1000 by christmas and i feel as though i am on course though i can't get complacent and must continue to work hard.

Hope to go back to Canada around christmas and maybe stay for a while and possibly go to Thailand for a few months aswell. Also want to go on some climbing courses next year even though i am a complete punter/n00b.

Best wishes
