Vegas Bound
So my March to $10,000 challenge is complete, and I fell quite short, finishing up $6,216 in the black. While I didn’t meet my goal, I still feel very great with my results and the way I’ve been playing lately. For one, I didn’t play at all 7 out of the 28 days of the challenge, whether it was because I wasn’t in the mood to play or because I was in Memphis. And out of the...
Quickish Update
I’m almost 2 weeks into my March to $10,000 challenge and things have been going pretty well, even though I haven’t been playing as many hands as I’d like. I’m up about $3600 (including rake back, bbj $, etc.) after 16.4k hands. This is obviously a bit below pace, but at least I’ve been winning when I have been playing. 9 out of the 11 days that I’ve played have...
March to $10,000
Dusty Schmidt (leatherass9 on pokerstars, writer of Treat Your Poker Like a Business) made a recent post in his blog (http://www.dustyschmidt.net/2010/04/) that he was setting a goal to make $100,000 from anything poker-related before heading out to Vegas at the end of May. I’ve decided to do the same but, being as busto as I am, I’m setting my goal at $10,000. I started on the 27th of...

Moving On Up
So I’ve been in Evanston for a few days now, and I must say things have been going really well. I felt as if I had been playing really well lately, day in and day out, so I took a shot at 400nl. That went really well, and 2 days ago I had my best day without a tourney score:
Almost all of it was 400nl, and it was about 9 hours of playing. Very nice. Then I didn’t play poker at all...

Ended October with a bang…decided to play some donkaments one day and shipped 2nd in a Stars $33+R and got 4th in a $22 deep stack (as if that’s even worth mentioning), for a total of about $4k that day.
Ended the month up about $16.5k total with rake back and everything. Here’s my cash graph:

A Reevaluation
Played a bit more of 400nl this past week, but I think I was playing too many tables at once or playing too long of sessions or something, because I just felt like I was on autopilot mode all the time. My autopilot game isn’t anywhere near my A-game, so this resulted in a little bit of losing.
So the first thing I’m deciding to do is decrease the amount of tables that I’m...

Don't Call it a Comeback
Took my first shot at 400nl since Vegas and, after an epic battle, showed some profit:
The games were good for the 12 hours that I was playing (7 pm - 7 am EST), which was nice. I felt I was a little off my game toward the beginning, but I was also running 6 BIs bad at one point, so that didn’t help my green line much. Then by the end of the session, the EV caught up and I was able...
Off to a Good Start
I finished off a 20k-hand 200nl stake to start off the month (was pretty busto at the time because of life expenses and some runbad/playbad), and since then I’ve been playing the best poker of my life. So September is off to a very good start, and I’m putting in more volume than ever. Here’s a graph after 8 days (~32k hands):
Of course I begin running bad immediately after...
