Well i decided at the beginning of this month that i will try and get the 200k milestone bonus on stars. So, ive been playing quite a lot in the attempt to stay on pace to make 72k vpp's over these 2 months.
This may not sound too hard to some of you but tbh i dont play much at all, previously my biggest volume month was last month which was only like 65k hands lol, so to do 220k hands in 2 months where xmas and new years etc is coming up is a challenge for me :D
So today i played a 10k hand session which took 10.67 hours 16 tabling, was pretty tired of poker towards the end
Results are good, just under $900 which makes up for how poorly ive run so far this month a little.
I have no idea how people do this almost every day for a year, its ridiculous.
Made and excel sheet to keep track of my pace and im ahead now thanks to this session~
So october was pretty good to me, mostly nl100 12 tabling.
This is my best month both volume-wise and $$$$ wise, so thats really nice to have~
Also this month cleared the $800 milestone bonus and $150 of reload bonus, as well as getting myself a £250 amazon voucher (spent on new CPU power supply, external hard drive and some leftover) as well as like 30k more fpp's so yea thats nice!
Hard to give a total on the month but i guess its somewhere around +$5500
My goal for next month is basically just to beat this month in terms of volume and $$$, but ill be happy getting even close lol
So, last time i posted was some roundup of june which sucked.
The rest of my summer sucked pokerwise but was really fun non-pokerwise so meh its all alright.
To summarise:
June: Lots of hands, pretty much breakeven
July: Not so many hands, breakeven
August: Again not so many hands, won like 10 buyins only
September: Again really lame, breakeven
Took a couple shots at nl100 during july and august and both times ran like ass and had to move back down to nl50, where i continued to grind it out running like shit too but managing to somehow breakeven. Pretty much the longest breakeven stretch ive been on, like 100k hands or something for +5 buyins which is practically breakeven over such a period.
Deposit bonus of $300 free helped pad my role and the fact that i was playing fairly overolled for FR (nl50 with 25-30 buyins) meant it wasnt that stressful despite running awful.
Somehow after my break in september i start last week on like 7th oct and since then i ran nicely lol. crushed 10 buyins at nl50 in 5k hands then decided lolz move up to nl100. Finally it clicked and im back in the green on nl100 (and on pokertableratings which is very important).
October stats:
June 01-> Now
So now im sitting on a healthy BR for nl100, about to get the 50k fpp required for the supernova $800 milestone bonus. So thats gunna pad my role a bit once i hit that (48.4k atm).
So yea all is well atm hopefully it continues like this too~
Just finished probably my last session of the month. My biggest volume month ever, put in 45k hands which is absolutely great for my standards.
Only problem is that i ran worse than i have ever run. Literally everytime i string a little bit of profit together i lose another few 85/15's and boom im down again.
Im sure the higher stake players have been thru this all before but wow it hurts. I'm playing good solid poker and consistently getting beaten, its very demoralizing. So yea its like 50k breakeven now and a measly +$70 cashgame profits for the month. Im also down something like $200 on the month in tournaments where i ran equally poorly.
So ya, june sucks, i really hate poker at the moment.
edit: In my whiney-little-bitch state of mind i almost forgot the positives for june which are:
Finished Economics Degree and got decent mark
Actually gained some FPP's, 22.5k gained which is almost my target of 25k. So its not all bad i guess.
aushsuhashsaisa#asokdasojkdsopaksdopas another losing session due to fucking set over sets, missed megacombodraws and generally just NOT HITTING A SINGLE FUCKING FLOP OMG
constnat bullshit, get dealt AK, missed flop in mostly 3bet pots 16/18 times wtf?
set over set twice
missed 3 combo draws
missed just about every flop
lucky im only down 3 buyins but whatever, still thats like my ENTIRE month gone since ive had such a fucking shit ass june uahuehashuashudhauhaud
spamspamspam
i wish i cud start fucking WINNING AGAIN SOON PLEASE POKERSTARS UNDOOMSWITCH ME I WANNA MOVE ON AND UPWARDS.
i cant even put the kind of volume i want in cos despite being pretty good at tilt control i cant play like this
Meh fairly annoying/swingy week but ended up so its okay.
Think i played pretty well made a couple of somewhat loose calls/marginal-perhaps-spewy shoves/calls but overall nothing devastating
imo.
I played 12.5k hands which for me is a good amount for a week (i played 15k hands last MONTH). If i can continue this pace i can aim for a 50k hand month which would be really nice! 12k vpp away from supernova and i made like 2.6k this week, sooooo maybe end of month if i move up to nl100. Roll is currently like 2.3k, not sure when i take a shot mayb 2.5k i think.
Played some tournaments too, starting to get frustrating though i am getting deep a lot but busting just into/outside the bubble with ridiculous setups, but its all been stupid shit where i cant really do anything (AK vs 22 aipf and miss obv etc)
