random rant

the good:

1. i finally unlocked the $4k bonus YAYYY!



2. going to start considering alternative sites to play on because stars is just too demanding, i HATE being forced to play hours after work every time it comes around to end of month

3. after suffering the biggest downswing of my life at the end of last year i feel like ive matured greatly as a player. going to put more time to study the game now i dont have to play a whole bunch to maintain supernova

the bad

1. another 3 months of breakevennesssss

mandatory graph with my awesome technical analysis skills say the next 3 months is going to be gooooooooooooood!!

been doing some self reflection, and upon reading manyards blog everything seems much clearer

what is poker to me? money.

sure, its fun to learn and improve at the game, and sure, i enjoy the challenge of competition, but in the end, if there was no money in poker i'd still be playing stacraft. poker has given me the spending money to get through the last few years of uni. although ive never made it as big as most of the respected regs on these forums, ive still been able to fund whatever i wanted to buy and not worry about depleting my savings. but ever since i started work a year ago, the spark to win at poker just hasnt been there. ive had a few disaster sessions where ive lost a few k, and afterwards, instead of studying my mistakes i'd just write it off as running bad

i read somewhere that you shouldnt think of money as just a number, but things you can get with that number. so in my life, what do i need money for? in the next year i want to be able to purchase a decent place to move out in, as well as go on an overseas trip. considering the house prices in Australia this is impossible on my salary. in short, until i earn enough at work (hopefully within 2 years), poker is going to have to supplement my income.

i played about 5h of poker so far today, which is probably the most ive done in a LONG time! time to buckle down and grind out another few hours! FOCUS!!! i know if i work hard i can do this.

GL at the tables everyone (if you managed to read this far)

Summary of Year:





+ 1k win on ongame
= BREAK EVEN

net result for year: around 5k rb for sn

2010 Goals recap and thoughts

1. become a winning 200nl reg:

Ehhh, personally, games seem to be getting harder, 100nl plays like 200nl did a year ago ><

2. make average 2k per month (24k):

Epic fail! Combination of not studying the game enough and spew calling when running bad

3. be taking shots at 400nl by end of year

Tried at the 400nl 50bb tables which seemed full of fish, but realised afterwards i didnt have much of an edge...not before i lost a few k

4. get to c+ on iccup:

moved onto sc2


2011 Goals

Probably going to be my last year of poker if I cant make a decent income
