Fupp January, Bring on February
Another month down, and this one was one of those months I have had like twice that might as well be break even. I managed to make around 1k + rakeback. So I made around 2500 this month, which is merely enough to survive. Not the best of months, but I made alot of stupid drunk mistakes. The emphasis there is on drunk. I’m done doing that shit. It’s killing my win rate, and is just horrible in general. My graph for the month ended up looking like this.

Screw that month. I managed to only put in 30k hands, which was mostly due to my job and a ton of coaching. I have picked up a few more students over the course of this week. For awhile, I was worried that coaching through cardrunners was a big mistake, because they didn’t bring me any business that i didn’t already have. However, about 6 students later, I have changed my mind. I had one of my students quit poker all together, so i dunno what that says about me. He did however leave a very positive review of me. He seemed to just be very troubled outside of poker, and insecure in his game. However, my other students all look very promising. I also had technical difficulties with skype. Something about a ’sound card’ somethign or another, on my students end. Hopefully, we can fix that however. I also got a horse in the 100nl game on ftp. He’s a player I’m going to be spending alot of my spare time teaching. I also would only waste my time with a horse who i really felt could kill the game. So if i’ve turned down your offer to be my horse in the past, its simply cause I don’t know enough about your game. Overall, The coaching is coming great and its forced me to be far more organized about my coaching and scheduling. I have a lesson pretty much every evening of the week, and its really starting to cut into my gym time. So soon i will be a slightly richer, but far fatter ringer.
February just started off with a bang. I played for 2 hours tonight and made about 1k playing 400nl on cake. The games were really good, and only one player was being a nuisance. The 400nl game on cake really never runs enough to make it even worth playing. Tonight there were 6 tables that stayed together, which is pretty unheard of. I managed to stack a player who scares the crap out of me too. He shoved an AK on me, which I dunno if he knows is horrible against my range against him. He’s like the cake high stakes rounder though and plays HU, FR, and 6m. So lets shoot for a 10k february, especially to make up for the shitty january. I would love to put in some serious volume too. Something like 80k hands, but I just don’t have any time for it thanks to this job i have.
I finished up the project i was hired for on friday. I actually kinda enjoy working there, since my boss is pretty cool. I just don’t know how much longer i can mentally deal with working when I know i’m just passing on profit. It is pretty nice though, cause i kinda get in and leave when i want and no one gives me shit for it. I usually roll in at 9:30 and leave on the dot at 5 cause I’ve usually got a 6pm lesson. Then i spend the rest of the night eating and playing poker. Hopefully that changes and i can get my life back together.
On the vegas front, vizer and I got the house we wanted down to the price we wanted. We should be closing on it in the next week or so. We just need one more full time roommate and then I think we are gonna rotate out the other room. Once again, if you wanna be our third roommate for 3 months, let me know asap before the spot gets scooped up.
Superbowl is tomorrow, and there’s a big bash for it. I’m pretty excited about tailgating and the bowl. I will probably be getting very drunk tomorrow as I haven’t gotten drunk at all this weekend. Honestly, its pretty absurd because I haven’t gone an entire weekend without going out since high school really. I know its a testament to my shitty drinking habits, but more so a testament that i’m starting to get older and my friends are even starting to slow down on their drinking. I think it only goes downhill from here, however its pretty awesome not being hungover and have an entire day ahead of you. For predictions, Cardinals for the superbowl win one time. (i don’t really believe that pick, i just hate the god damn steelers so much).
