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

Taking a few days off

Really feel like i could do with a few days off from poker and going out on the piss a bit as i've spent the last 9 days on a fitness binge/ poker grind so i could really do with chilling. I want to play 9k hands by sunday and i've played 3k hands so far this week so i just need to put in 2k hands a day friday-sunday which will be tough but at my current rate it should net me around $2k. Which is ideal as i am buying a big arse HDTV next week (i'll post pics once i've decided on one)

haha i realise that's not a great read but my head is fucked at the moment and i need to go to bed

goodnight

A new start

First of all just catch up on a few things. My exam resit went quite well but i am not sure what i am going to do, pass or fail. Had a great time in leeds and had some friends from traveling visit for the weekend in our new house and we had a proper laugh, In the end it was 4 straight days on the piss so i felt shitty afterwards but it was awesome to see everyone.

poker has been going very well and this is my august so far



haven't play many hands due to my exam and just general moving around. my hourly rate is around $110 (£55) which is pretty nuts considering it's tax free and i'd earn about a 10th of that doing some shitty summer job.

Planning on grinding from now until i go back to uni which will be around sep 17th, i am not setting myself any real targets but hopefully i'll get in a ton of hands. I've also been running everyday for the last week which has been great and i want to lose as much of my belly as i can before uni as i am sick of it, i mean i have never really been fat per se but just always had this stupid fucking podge belly.

Got my ps3 and new HDTV arriving this week too which will be sick and i need to start shopping for a new snowboard set up as i want to get in a ton of riding this winter. Holla

I'll probably keep this more up to date aswell

Peace

Edit: forgot to say, i got sucked out on in my biggest post every today :(

Great August (so far)

Once again i apologise for the lack of updates i just have alot going on at the moment but should be back to regularity come the 20th of this month

Anyway, August has been very kind to me to this point, definitely been running good but also playing well. Hopefully i can be at NL400 by the end of this month.

Bollocks

Sorry for the lack of updates, i just have alot going on at the moment and sometimes the blog slips my mind. Been running pretty shit lately and not been playing too well either, booked a solid day today though so hopefully i can back on track.

Here is my graph from the last time i posted, as you can see i am still stuck but whatever, that's pokah!

Meh

Pretty nondescript day. played something like 1.2k hands and ended up at about +$220.

Saw the simpsons movie earlier, it had some solid gags which i wasn't really expecting but other than that it was pretty thin and the storyline was shit. I am sure it will be a big hit though.

Peace

Solid Day

Had a pretty solid day today and i really felt as though i needed it considering how poorly yesterday went and how awful my level of play was.

Lost focus for an hour or so whilst playing earlier but managed to pull myself together after i had a cup of tea. I honestly believe that the greatest challenge to an online poker player is focus, reproducing your best game every day is something very few if any players achieve. You see players who stuggle with huge breakeven stretches and downswings and often they'll tell you that they are just running bad and they are unlucky blah blah blah but in 95%+ of cases the player has let his focus slip and has been too busy wallowing in his bad streak rather than treating every hand as a new hand and trying to play to the best of his abilities.

Below is my graph since the 11th of this month (when i actually started playing). I am very pleased with the results and hope that i can continue to reproduce this throughout the summer.
