April

Note: not april fools joke

Missed all my goals this month, did absoutly horrible. Lost about 15K, about 10K of which I lost taking an ill advised shot at 5/10NL. Absoutly disgusting. Gonna get back to 2/4 and grind out hands this month. Also gonna just stick to sunday/monday for tournaments. Not gonna set any goals this month. I would like to have 100K to my name by the time I head out to the wsop. We will see how that goes.

March 3rd

I played 958 hands today, and won $1,431. Overall since the start of march I have played 2,374 hands and am up about $1400. So far things are going good, but I can still feel my nerves getting to me. Losing an $800 pot on a coinfilp will take some time to adjust to again. I am also trying to play less than 6 tables (about 4-5) to focus more on each table individually. I think it will help with my swings and also my emotional stability. I have also just been quitting early to book a solid win rather than loose a lot back. I really should not be worrying about that, but again, it will take a little more time to re-adjust to the swings and what not.

March 1st

February went well, I booked another significant winning month, but I did not really play that much. I really like the month of march, so im gonna take this one fairly seriously and really try and put the hours in. I finally feel ready to try out the 2/4NL games again. Thanks to some tournament success, im quite over-rolled for that limit. Im also going to try and get into a more healty lifestyle. Im going to set some fairly heafty personal goals (which I will not list on here), as well as some big poker goals.

Poker wise, I would like to get in at least 25K hands at $400NL and make $20,000. I feel that I can easly play 1k hands a day, and 5k hands a week. This will allow me to meet my goal. As for MTT's/SNG's I don't want to really set any goals other than to have a winning month. I really only play MTT's on sundays and sometimes on mondays, so I will just hope to have a winning month in them. As for SNG's I only play them to help break up the insanity of playing so many hands of cash poker. It is kinda a stress reliever playing smaller stakes.

If im successful doing this, I will reward myself at the end of the month. This should also help keep me motivated. I have been looking into purchasing a home entertainment center, so that will be part of my reward. This will include a large flat screen TV, surround sound system, playstation 3(for blue-ray DVD), and maybe a few more accessories. I will also be looking into getting a massage chair, but I will not commit to getting one unless I can find a good deal.

The WSOP 2008 satellites have started on all the pokersites as well. Im not sure how much time I will commit this month to trying to sat in but im sure I will be playing at least a few of them. Maybe I can lock up my seat nice and early.

Late January 2008

So after a fairly bad December, and just overall bad last few months of the year, I got back to the grind and put up a crazy january. Played way too many hands of cash with some super swinngy results. Made a few FT's and actually won a tournament. Made about 10K+ this month, which im more than happy with.

will edit with grraphs and pics later

Year End wrap up

Not really gonna say much here, mostly because I had a really bad december poker wise. Im pretty sure I lost money on the month, not only in cash but also in MTT's.

In the new year, im going to play more seriously and really grind. Im starting at 1/2NL and will move up a limit every month (hopefully). I have high hopes for this coming year.
