I'm a live player, so I can't post a fancy graph here because my tracking software is on my iPhone.

I'm up $2311 for May.

I set a humble goal of +$1000 for June.

#3 31st May 2009, 9:09 PM

+ $3,200 ish. Most of it from live winnings, vasy majority of my play this month was live.

#4 31st May 2009, 9:31 PM

+maybe $1100 total for the month?

the same next month would be fine

#5 31st May 2009, 11:24 PM

I'm up $200 or so in live tournaments this month. Only played a few and it's pretty good cash for being 18.

I'm hoping to play at least 2 times a week and want to make at least $500 next month.

#6 31st May 2009, 11:40 PM

My computer broke and i lost my db, i started fresh with grinding through the limits again after cashing out for wedding stuff, so this is for the last 10 days @ 2nl 6max. Been a good couple of weeks for me, i'm glad i started over fresh.

Next month, well i'm quite busy so not sure how much poker i'll actually be able to get in but some rough goals for me would be to:

- Get in 15k hands, not a lot but i'm busy so this would be a good number.

- Move up to 5nl, working on a system where i take 3 BI shots i need to get myself up to $115 in the roll, currently at $81.

- Finish PNL and maybe start reading it again, should be do-able.

- Learn to lay down hands where its clear i'm beat, made some good progress towards this today, making a couple of good lay downs.

#7 31st May 2009, 11:46 PM

I'm so lazy but it's easily my best month ever, I don't know if I had any goals this month but if I did I'm pretty sure I met them, except for hands played. This was my first month playing exclusively heads up and most of it's from the beginning and I had already won so much I had trouble motivating myself to play.

In June I'd like to get 15k hands in but that's probably pushing it unless I start two tabling which I'd like to try. So let's go with...

[ ] 15k hands
[ ] Try two tabling HU
[ ] Take maney

#8 1st June 2009, 12:21 AM

As is the common theme for me this year, my graph is pooh! -15 buy ins in all in EV obv doesn't help, but at least things were looking up for my last 10k hands were I played solely on FT.

#9 1st June 2009, 12:28 AM

No goals in June. Just play 5nl and 10nl.

#10 1st June 2009, 12:45 AM

-1K NLHE
+2K Stud 8
+850 rakeback

I hate NLHE this month. My AA < KK AIPF has been playing like a broken record.

#11 1st June 2009, 12:59 AM

First losing month of my career which is funny as last month was my biggest winning month of my career lol.

I feel kinda good though which is strange, I am happy with my new game since I had coaching and Im actually 5 BIs up from when I got the coaching when playing my normal game and sticking to 10 tables which is the upward part of my graph but after that its the 20 tabling marathon to try and get the UK promo bonus which is roughly worth about 1.2k in fpps and 2k as it puts me in range to achieve the 2k vpp bonus so in total about 3.2k which I suppose is +EV on the ~ -500 month.

June Goal - 100k hands 10 tabling playing my new game!

100k hands 10-tabling is a pretty ridiculous number imo. I've never gotten 100k 20+ tabling.

Also, will post my epic downswing month at the end of the day.

#13 1st June 2009, 2:09 AM

Nice month where im $2000 below EV and tilted like a mother for most of it. Made a nice comeback towards the end though and feel my game has vastly improved this month. First ever losing month Ill be back next month with a +$5000, dont worry.

#14 1st June 2009, 2:21 AM

seany, play more, jeez.

bw, barf.

#15 1st June 2009, 3:31 AM

goals for may

[x] make goldstar for wtfsick 70k uk vpp bonus
[x] try not to lose money while doing so

the downward spike at the end is what happens when you leave getting vpps to the last minute (although i think i just ran bad tbh, but need to review seeing as i was 17-tabling at the end )

e: no idea why the net won amounts differ

#16 1st June 2009, 3:36 AM

may without the 0$'s

haha young grasshopper, allow me to show you how to really downswing (top to bottom is $6k in ~5k hands).

Somehow i actually ended up about $1k this month (w/bonusey-stuff). Nice to still be able to say i have never had a losing month. Have basically run like death for 3 months and this month was a step worse (reason i haven't been around for a while), largely because i cannot win a hand to save my life at nl400 (or anywhere else, but especially nl400). It is almost unfathomable at how terrible you can run at HU. I play tight compared to most ppl and probably a little too weak tight at times (ie. i should have a sky high w$sd), and yet over the last 2 months i have a W$WD of 45% (50k hands). I've played 500+ hand sessions vs huge fish of 90%+ vpip and like 40% WTSD where i have won <25% of hands at SD. Really crazy stuff (basically everbody i play runs like seanyj seems to have done this month - have fun with HU variance sir coz it always comes around to bite you in the ass).

Anyways, played the million turbo today, if i had won this hand i was 3rd w/ ~200 left (first pays 100k i think) so yea poker hates me. Would have still been in an amazing position if i had even won the side pot. But apart from the whole can't win a hand to save my life sort of deal, really quite happy with my game overall and i am playing way better than when i was beating HU for 7-8BB/100 so hopefully start running ok.

Do not play MTTs kids

that's an awesome graph

"going smoothly ---> OH CRAP ---> grindgrindgrind must get back above zero ---> OOOOO YEAH MADE IT JUST IN TIME WHO'S THE GODDAMN MAN YO"

#19 1st June 2009, 4:20 AM

The 400 hand bad beat swing hurt my 2nl ego but knowing they were bad beats kept me off major tilt. Good finish at the end puts me on track for 5nl in a few weeks.

#20 1st June 2009, 4:23 AM

Fell slightly short of my goal of 50k hands, rofl. I'm not going to bother setting goals until my new computer gets here. Sooo tilting trying to do anything on this one.

< 12k hands + ~50$ in a few donkaments and CC games = same old microprofits.

#21 1st June 2009, 5:32 AM

I suck at SD

Throw in another $650 in rb and tourneys and it was a very good month. My best ever.

June goals = don't suck.

#22 1st June 2009, 5:49 AM

my goal in june=make meelions. nuff said

#23 1st June 2009, 6:34 AM

Fell short of the goal of 60K hands due to watching too much NBA playoffs. A game every night = less poker time. 41K is my most so far, though.

It took a little while to get used to moving up to 5nl, but it's going pretty well now.

Goal for June is to make it to 10nl and play fewer hands while increasing the winrate.

#24 1st June 2009, 7:21 AM

First goal for June: Forget May ever happened.

Second goal for June: Actually play some.

On a serious note..May wasn't *terrible*... although away from the tables life has been very...trying. And that affected life on the tables.

Hoping (expecting) June to be better.

Unreal I only played 3,500 hands at 100nl 6max this month. Wow. I suck.

Weird stat of the month: Playing 6max, I had QQ run into AA or KK 18% of the time I held it!

#26 1st June 2009, 7:44 AM

May was the best month of my poker career. Also the most trying.

[x] 700 profit
[x] Now understand why ppl on downswings bitch so much

June Goals:
Survive 21st Bday (less than 24 hours!)
Log 40k hands again
get BR up to 1500ish before moving back to 50nl (withdrew back to 600 to get some confidence at 25nl again and pay bills)
Watch a ton of videos (stox or DC? or both....not sure yet)
Hopefully get a decent Desktop so i can do sweats without my side lagging like a bitch.

#27 1st June 2009, 8:08 AM

-$16.8 SnG

+$399.98 MTT

-$154.01 Ring

+$136 Bonuses

Cash games & DoN SnGs broke me this month. If I hadn’t of played them I’d be up around $750 for the month. Oh well, see what happens next month. I know what I’m not playing for June.

#28 1st June 2009, 9:02 AM

May :

[x] Make money

June :

[ ] Make some more money

#29 1st June 2009, 9:32 AM

Yeah Jake, 10 tabling/100k hands is around 200hrs of poker for the month! I'd say thats a pretty optimistic number settle for 75k which is still a decent amount m8!

#30 1st June 2009, 10:00 AM

First losing month for me. Seem to get coolered to death whenever i'm shottaking. Anyways, running bad seems to give me motivation to work on my game more, so hopefully do much better this month

#31 1st June 2009, 10:51 AM

Some of you may recall the pretty graph I posted in the May chat thread. Well, I managed to push it up to an $1,150+ month, but I swear by all that is holy, straight at the stroke of midnight I got coolered, and it didn't stop there. I should be sleeping now but instead I stood by witnessing the fall of everything I worked for in May.

Goal for June: Stop it!!!

#32 1st June 2009, 1:55 PM

Mini-FTOPS was not kind and my new computer broke so I can't summarize my PT3 tracked results. Should have been about the same amount of hand ~5K played online for the month. Live games were kind to me though as I'm +$925 for the month. Online bankroll -$38.49

Goals, just play as much as possible but with graduation activities for Daughter there will be a week or so w/o any play.

#33 1st June 2009, 2:36 PM

May was a complete wash for me. Although I moved up to 50NL and did ok (despite playing on mostly reg-filled 50BB min tables), I went on an 8-game losing streak on the 210 FPP sats, so only made $16 (instant cash bonus) out of all the FPP I grinded this month. It's my second losing month out of the 11 since I've been tracking.

On the plus side, I finally bought HEM and I'm well impressed. But seeing my expected all-in EV is a little disheartening.

May Goals:
1. 7.5K hands at 25NL (SUCCESS)
2. Post Profit at 25NL (SUCCESS)
3. Final Table 90 or 180-Player game (FAILED)

June Goals:
1. Post profit at 50NL
2. Maintain Silver Star
3. Post profit or break-even at SNG/MTTs

#34 1st June 2009, 2:55 PM

Hi all.

For June Id like to settle in at 10NL and finish clearing my sign up bonus at FTP.
