April Results/May Goals

I'm done for the month, so let's start the results thread.

Second best month ever. 13.5k hands at 200nl, crushing it at +5BB/100. 11.5k hands at 100nl training to multitable more massively and beating it at 2.5BB/100. Ironman at FTP and goldstar at PS.

May goal is to study the preflop game of the PS regs better and once FTP updates its software, to try to apply it at FTP where preflop is so much less aggro.

Also had my best month to date. +~300 in tournies and some rakeback which i havn't worked out.

Hoping for a 3k month next month, all at 100nl mainly with the aim of fixing leaks

Well the month is still 15 minutes long here and I'll probably play more tonight but what the heck.

First positive month since December and I'm pretty happy tbh.
Came back from my standard 10 buy in downswong, which usually doesn't happen as I just start breaking even after losing 10 buy ins .

Some 50nl HU in there too when bored yesterday that didn't turn out too bad.

The big spike in rakeback is my deposit bonus that I just update as I'm clearing it ($260 so far) and I also got $80 in rakeback.

So a $600 month is pretty awesome for me. 25nl winrate is a little low due to swings and bad start but I'm confident that I finally got the hang of it and will set down a solid month in May.

May goals is keep working on my 25nl game. Work on tilt control and stop/minimize my spew.
After I am happy with my game and got a decent winrate + br cushion, maybe take a shot at 50nl FR at the end of the month or beginning of June.
(Oh and my 2nl game obv needs work )

My graph/month/life sucks balls

/thread (thank god for Fpps)

My goal for the month was 30k hands, was on pace for 25k when it was cut short. Not sure exactly how many hands I played b/c don't have access to my tracker atm, won ~$200 again. Only played 2 weeks of each of last 3 months. Since I seem to only make it halfway to my goals I'm shooting for 100k hands this month. I need to put in alot of hands to get ahead and move up. I tend to cash out and cripple my roll too often b/c I'm poor.

Had no goals but I got back over 100$ at stars after tilting down to under 50 which pleased me.

Goals for next month-

Try to grind my tilt roll up via cash games which I am new at.

Play one table of 2 dollars up too 30 then try 2 tables if I get to 50 at all then stop playing the 2$ stacked tables and play the 4$.

Keep learning the cash game.

Play a few mtts on stars and maybe a few 5 dollar Dons every once and a while see how that works out.

twas a pretty crap month and the worst i've run in a while (little over $3k).

Ideal world, i'd like 50k hands this month now that i've done school playing nl200-nl400 and $15k profit but i may have to work on my parent's roof for a week which would reduce hands

I think I successfully closed a few leaks a couple of days ago..






(and I broke the BB/100 thing)

At work, but will post the graph later.

Cash games have been ugly and I posted a negative outcome there.

However, I went 4 for 7 on tourny cashes this month including a $1050 win and one for ~$200.

Cleared a bonus for another $120.

Fish have been on God mode this month for the most part.... i don't feel i've played terribly overall. Lost way more big pots than should be expected as ~85/15 favorite when the money went in.

Took a shot at $100 NL which went horribly, but I at least got to a point where I was able to take a shot and hope to be taking another shot in May.

Still plan a good sized session tonight to finish out Platinum but prior to that session my numbers are something like this:

Tournaments: +$1270
Bonuses: +$120
Rings: -$700 (most of this at $100)

So.. overall showing about a $690 profit on the month.



Next months goal is simple!

Grind back up to taking another $100 shot and don't run like shit when you take it.

I'd complain about running bad and shit but haven't lost that much and think I'm pretty much even for the month, plus it's pretty insignificant when compared with the losses some will have made so I won't. Hated April soooo much. I can't decide what I want to play, I have the mentality at the moment where I feel as though I'm going to lose and I'm just not playing enough.

So after April, I feel I should set some proper goals for May:
1) Over this weekend, decide which form of poker I want to focus my attention on, whether it be cash or SnGs

2) Read, read, read and ****ing read. Oh and watch. I don't think I'm doing that much wrong but learning more cannot be a bad thing.

3) Become a consistent winner at 10nl

4) Play 25k hands

The hand goal may be difficult, as I have to get into serious revision for A-levels and stuff but hopefully I can use poker for my downtime

5) The most important: Start enjoying poker again

what program is that that gives you those type of graphs? anyone care to explain simply how to set it up so i can use it, im pretty computer savvy so should be no problem.

belgosuisse, how did u make that much cash? just playin rings? or mainly sngs?

Cashed out 1k at the start of the month, then this. Oops.
since when do full ring graphs look like this

April:first half of the month= godly run thenbreak even finish

second half of April: No poker

May Goals: No poker

FML

wow what limit is that spranger ?
nice hand amount though

25nl for most of it but 10nl at the end cause i was having super duper tilt issues so moved down

I'm just ****ing shaking right now I'm so pissed off.

1. Eat it if you don't like me telling it like it is.

2. Worst month ever. By far.

3. Poker sucks my a-hole.

4. Cant even ****ing post my shit hole graph omg i am just so pissed.

My database is split between my home computer and school and it was an ugly month for the most part.

Goals for May:

-Graduate college
-Enjoy my time in Florida
-Watch some videos for a change and actually try to progress my game instead of mindlessly 24 tabling all day
-Try to transition to 200NL forever
-Don't f***in tilt, PLEASE just dont f***in tilt

April was good!
First 4 figure month
Moved to 50nl on second shot
Made Platinum (10k month on vpp's)
Will post a blog update tomorrow as its nearly 2.30am, but pleased with April.

April = Lame both volume and results wise

April was a big downer for me. Ran like crap and SCOOP was a complete washout.

PT2 stats (PS,FTP,Ultimatebet) NLHE
Ring 372 hands @ $25NLFR/$50NLFR +$2.51 -20.62BB/100
Tourn 50 -$415.86 26%ITM -67%ROI

Overall bankroll -$767.37

May brings Mini-FTOPS but I'll also be on vacation some so no way I can add any volume.

I SUCK at 6-max!!!!

2 new goals.

Fade swine flu
Play as many hands as Jake does

Start of my month was an epic downswongament. Feelin' better about my game now though, but I still have tons of leakage to plug.

-$823.66 playing 6-max
-$171.00 playing stud 8 (mostly from one $5/$10 heads up session)
+$884.50 rakeback
+100 from rake race
+205.82 from selling UB VIP points
--------------
+$195.66

Meht. Note to self, it is -EV to tilt like a spew monkey. Graph of everything but Stud 8 below.


Goals: Keep the same volume from April. Stop playing altogether when I'm tilting instead of playing Stud 8. Make a Stud Hi video that has decent commentary.

Here's my graph just for the hell of it...

You guys get one guess where the $100 NL shot was.

Things started to go better towards end of the month... that dip at the very end was today basically... today was all sorts of fun

Still... a positive month thanks to tourny's and if I take away the $100 NL shot break even at cash more or less.

BRING ON MAY!

Going to do a couple sessions at least with Zach starting tomorrow so that should help kick May off right. (looking forward to it zach!)

oops...forgot to include it.. here's the graph to go with above
