The Road to Success

Ahhhh the end of the month :) Such a good feeling, especially when you've been making a decent profit. I definately enjoyed the last part of this month though. I played the WBCOOP which was good considering I got myself 2 $11 and 1 $22 SCOOP tickets. I missed out on a couple of the games that ran during the WBCOOP but played 3 NLHE events including the main event and 1 PLO8 event along with the 8-game event which I pretty much just played like a fish in because I'm not all that great when it comes to 8-game and I was running like 35 tables at the time lol.

Anyways aside from the WBCOOP I just grinded pretty hard and kept the pace going. Haven't really done too well in MTT's lately, but will continue to put in the volume. I did have an exclusive day for just MTT's on Sunday. It was pretty sick, I won't complain about my bad beats or nothing but I ran horrible playing $11 MTT's and under. I did however bink a $4.40 180man to make up for most of my losses that day :) so yeah just been doing what I do best and at this point in time that's poker lol. Got myself almost 11.1k VPP's for this month so I'm already more then 1/10th of the way to Supernova though I would like to be much closer then that by the end of this month and I'm sure I will be.

But yeah so I'll be playing for myself hopefully for the rest of my life if not a long time now. As much as I enjoyed being staked by Eric on PokerStars, I've got to move on and be able to hold my own. I'm glad to have had his support though and won't forget it. Thanks again Eric :)

Okay definately making this way too long just rambling on about my month. So game plan for February I'm looking at another 10k VPP's in less then 2 weeks and to start throwing in some $12 45's by the end of this week for sure unless things don't go well which I find highly unlikely to be honest. Oh and of course just keep taking shots at those MTT's. As long as I play well and remain focused I'll score one sooner or later it just takes patience. So yeah have a great month to all who decide to play unless your playing against me of course! (haha jokes) I'll end this blog with a screenshot of this month's profit and yeah don't expect me to drop off the 45 leaderboard on SharkScope either.

January 2011

Good Times

So I'm still going at it, and it's going pretty good. I had a pretty good day earlier today making like 50 buy-ins. As of right now I'm placed 10th on the 4-6 Table/$5-$15 SharkScope leaderboard which I think is pretty sick and also a great start for me this year. I've Still been playing $6's and will continue to do so for most likely quite some time.

Oh cool thing by the way, I got my PS3 controller hooked up to my computer for grinding. It's sooo good and so much more relaxing. It's a lot less stressful and it's set up as my mouse with hotkeys for my games along with my music and a couple of other simple little things I threw in there. It was definately worth it :) Anyways it's getting late and I'm gonna get some rest. Goodnight.

A Good Start to the New Year

I'm just gonna come out and say it... $3's suck! lol I'm so sick of $3's I don't ever want to play them again really... I mean I have problems mixing $3's with $6's because of the major differences in the types of opponents that I'm up against. I can't play my $6 strategy in a $3 game it just doesn't work for me and has hurt my ROI at the $3's quite a lot trying to do that. But hey who cares cause I'm done with those games now, I'm running strictly $6's now along with some micro MTT's just about everyday. Still grinding a ton, about six hours a day. I broke $600 and closed the stake with SmooveSquid last week just in time to start up a new contract with my buddy Eric, Sheepish_mo on PokerStars :)

It's been going really well and am very happy with where I'm at for the month now. I had a pretty nice day yesterday with $6's making just over $310 and my overall ROI is making a fast recovery. Anyways these long days of grindin' are startin to get to me but no one said it was easy. Oh and I'll definately be going platinum by the end of the month. My goal is to have over 10,000 VPP's this month and to shoot for Supernova and get there as fast as I possibly can this year. I'm at 2,851 VPP's as of this morning and will be GoldStar by the end of the day no problem.

This is from January 3rd up until Januardy 12th.

This graph includes 522 $3's and 767 $6's along with a handful of MTT's that I've played so far this year.

So far I'm down money with the MTT's but I hope to score one soon :)

Happy New Year

Okay so I didn't break $400 on my stake for the 45 turbos until after the end of December. Actually I broke $400 yesterday playing the $3.25's which was a sick run and had me profiting over $200 in less than 150 games. So that was nice. I did manage to get the VPP's I needed for my last $50 bonus of the year as well, so I'm glad I got that out of the way. Anyways I've started throwing in some $6's with my $3's and did fairly well today with $100 in profit :)

I'm gonna be grinding really hard this month, wether it's for a backer or myself, but I've been putting in just over 6 hours of grinding the last two days and I plan to keep it that way. I'm not sure exactly what my long-term plan is at the moment, but I hope to be grinding on my own starting at the $6.50's by the end of this month. I'll keep the blog updated.

Happy New Year!
