Whats going on guys, 300k VPP month pursuit is going well so far. I set an original goal of 10k VPP/day so that I could be done by Halloween. Fell a little behind that pace the last 2 days and today I sat in bed with my gf all day and watched this tv show FireFly that was only lasted one season+ a movie. After 12 episodes I finally decided to get on the grind some and played about 6k vpps worth bringing my grand total for the month to right around 81,000.
I have been trying to find the best way to put in a mass amount of volume at PLO without losing my mind from the variance and I think I have find a good solution for that. I've been tightening up all my ranges, especially from OOP and I lowered my overall 3bet percent and stopped jamming it in with any draw/set depending on the spot. I might be missing out on a few +ev spots but I figure it is alot better for my overall variance if I play it a little more cautious and take advantage of the more +ev spots that are inevitable to come along. I was feeling pretty good about my game so I decided to add in some more 2/4 plo to the mix and actually had my best plo day ever a few days ago!!!
I can't even describe how amazing it felt to finally play really well and have it all starting to click in my head. Usually my big winning sessions I feel pretty meh but this one I was just fucking ecstatic!! Overall my month started up a bunch then down alot and now is just on the up and up. Will be coming up on another round of 4k FPP/700k vpp milestone bonus as well which help the bankroll out tremondously and give me something to look foward too. Here is my overall graph for the month with about 1k profit/5k hands from NL and the rest is from PLO
Also going to the store to buy those big ass bags of halloween candy to have around to eat is soo +ev. Thanks for reading the blog, need to sleep to wake up tomorrow and grind some more
3 Days into my 300k VPP for the month prop bet and I am right on pace with 30k vpp. Played a few short sessions today and ended up a bunch playing 1/2 and 2/4 plo. Ran just about about EV actually which surprised me since I figured I had to run pretty well to be up that much for the day. Probably will play some since Im trying to get on a sleep schedule that will allow me to be awake between 10-12pst because that is when 24+ games of what I am playing run, whereas overnight I have to mix in some 2/4 and even then there are not 24 tables running the whole time. I feel like I'm getting better at PLO (only took a 100k hands) so hopefully can continue on the winning ways. Only one losing session so far this month out of a bunch.
What's up guys, as the people that have read some of my previous posts know I have a prop bet to get SNE this year. I started this month at 535k VPP after slacking pretty hard in September (I feel like mentally it was going to be too easy to get so I wanted to give myself a challenge, this was all Subconsciously I think lol idk just a theory)
That would basically leave me needed about 155k VPP for the last 3 months of the year. Well I told myself, once October 1st gets here, there is no fucking around Joe, no sleeping in, no cuddling all day on bed with GF, no doing jack shit for no reason. So I got on the ball today and had a great start to the month earning 12k VPP, well on pace for a 300k VPP month. Got in the groove with some nl100 fr lol and then popped out 10k hands at 1/2 PLO, did not run that well (obv no one does at plo) but thougth I played pretty well once my sessions went along. I stuck with only 20-50bb games for todays 2 sessions and seemed to average a pretty good vpp/hand rate. I figure to play in these games with 24 going I will need to readjust my sleep schedule to playing noon-midnightish since overnight usa time not that many 1-2 shallow games run. My results at 1/2 are less then stellar to say the least so far, from my play long ago and my play for the last few months. Hopefully I can keep improving my game and turn it around and put in a few more winning days like today!!
Here is graph for the day, obv no swings
goooo grind
O yeaa I never did blog about my PLO session last week, I played for a little over 23 hours and put in 32k hands, actually was my longest online session ever!!! Was down sooo much money at plo100 but finally ended up!!
Whats up guys, I finally booked some action on me achieving SNE this year. I bet 5k to win 7.5k with BraveJayHawk from 2p2 forums, have known him for awhile and he decided at the beginning of the month when I was at 290k VPP that I couldn't get it done. I also booked a 1k bet with Hodge05 on who can get to SNE first. He has a prop where he can only play nl100/200 to achieve SNE this year so we figured the 50k VPP lead he has over me was fair since I am playing anything/everything.
Just finished up an 8k VPP session where I finally made it to the positive for the month at PLO
PLO graph this month
At my low point on the graph I decided it would be good to actually try to learn the game. I read 3 PLO books, read alot of stuff on 2p2, and watched a few videos. Combined with decided to not 24 table, I started to win more. I was overplaying alot of my hands before, going nuts with AAxx with the xx usually not working well together/unsooted, 3betting way to fucking much, and a bunch of other issues. I feel like I am getting alot better every session and hopefully can continue to profit while I put in a high volume.
Game 7 Lakers vs Celtics
I don't think I ever posted about this but I went to Game 7 of the NBA finals. Me, the gf, SNE prop bettor Ballcup, his gf decided to go up to LA from San Diego kinda last minute and get tix for the game. We ended up paying around 4.4kish for tix that were in the very last round/center court of the stadium. The line for the game was Lakers -6 iirc so naturally we bet the amount we paid for the tickets on the game. We were sweating it pretty hard but luckily we were victorious and essentially freerolled Game 7. So glorious lol, pics from that are at the bottom of the blog
WSOP
This is long overdue but have just been doing everything else but blogging/vegas ended really horribly so I didn't really want to think about it. I went out there for 7 days around june 18-25. I loaded up my M3 and drove out there with my girlfriend Rachael and we stayed with my friend BW07507 at Pallazzo. It was alot of fun! While I was there I checked out a few poker houses that people had out there, I was kinda sad that I didn't get a house out there to stay and hang out and I am planning on 100 percent doing it next year.
Some highlights of the trip include going to my fave vegas restaurant Cut at Pallazzo like 3-4 times. I faded the CCRs for the trip everytime except once which left me with a 700 dollar bill. My birthday was on June 24th and we went out to dinner at Craft Steakhouse at MGM and then went to the country place to hang out with like 25 poker players for the night(forget the name of the place).
Also I was able to play in a little private game at the Hard Rock, my friend Notontilt09 invited me over there to play some 1/2 NL/PLO with him, Nanonoko, LttlBstrd (WSOP event 6 winner), Ryan from pokernewsstrategy.com, and Nascar_1949/kangis. Was a really fun time and I think I profited from the game, with help from me one outting Nano on the river after getting it all in on the turn in PLO. Obv we ran it twice so I only chopped the pot lol, Nano runs so fucking good vs me online and appearntly offline as well. MBN
I will just post all the pics now so you can see all the online poker guys by there faces. I think most of the guys are mainly PokerStars people so sorry FTP players lol

O man, it has been awhile since my last blog but this is a great time to post one before I get to sleep, will post Vegas TR with a bunch of pics of fellow internet poker players in the upcoming days.
I decided August 1st I was going to go for SNE, i had about 299k vpps at the time, this is the session I just played, 16 hours straight 24 tabling 100plo, made 16k VPPS and total for the day did 34k hands with 22.5k vpp
Now sitting at 61k vpp for the month
I was playing 20-50bb tables for first 10 hours till enough stopped running then added in 40bb tables buying in for 50bb there as well, so the 50 dollars is a buyin for me
What is up blog world, cool month for me so far. I've been hanging out with this new girl in my life (pics upon request obv) for the last month everyday/all day so that has taken its toll on my playing poker but my results when I have been playing have been pretty stellar!!
Almost +10k if I would not have played that last hand of the session
My actual goal when I started the month was to make 10k because I figured I would not be playing to much with WSOP and this girl always around so I am happy I am almost there. I have actually been having alot of fun though and have done some pretty fun things lately. Have been hanging out with PS SNE BallCup some lately out here in San Diego and we went on a nice little double date with his girl and mine to a steakhouse downtown here, luckily I won CCR Dinner on him! I lost team bowling though (thanks to my awful bowling partner obv) so now Padres tickets are on me. Were going to get tickets to Game 7 of Lakers v Celtics but still deciding if we should bring the women or not, smart choice says leave them at home imo lol
Am planning to go to Vegas on Friday for WSOP 1k on saturday and looking foward to meeting a ton of Small/Mid stakes guys I have never met before and seeing a bunch of ones I have met. Going to try to get pictures with every single TV pro I recognize and all the online guys there to lol, should be alot of fun!! Going to make the 4 hour drive out there in my M3 and hopefully run good and avoid speeding tickets!
Starting to get more and more into the World Cup and have been watching every game as of late just trying to learn how it all works and learn some of the players, I am still noob to betting on it though but if anyone does want to bet on any match, feel free to PM me and I'll take action on most sides just for the sweat! Im debating buying Fifa 10 for Xbox but I think it will take up wayyy to much time so trying to avoid it
Whats up all, just got back from a visit back home in Chicago and am glad to be back out here in SD..... Life is going well right now even though I have been barely playing any poker the last few weeks. I started playing only nl100-200 for a little bit to get out of the 5k+ swings I was going thru every day, it was starting to stress me out far to much... combine that with the gloomy May weather out here and I wasn't very happy. But the month did turn around for me life was but stayed pretty shitty poker wise. I did get the privilege of seeing 50 cent/Soulja boy in concert in Chicago and we also went to another concert out here in SD full of all of your favorite artists. (Kesha, Justin Bieber, Akon, Usher) lol
No idea what my plans for June are except for a trip to Vegas to see all the PS pros that I have come to love, I want to start playing more poker but I think I am in love now so idk how much actual poker I will be putting in. Without further ado here are my graphs for the last month on PS and FTP
Some of the comments on my last blog said I looked like a smarter version of ADZ and I really have no idea what that even means. I base the way I act in this videos as a spoof of Chiren80/Athene. He acts very energetic/over the top and thats basically what I try to do in mine. For all that said they weren't going to vote, reconsider and vote please tyty lol
Just finished up making my first Strategy video on PokerStars which includes 3 NL100 FR games and 1 NL5k FR game. Should be out tomorrow and is focused around the art of 3/4betting.
After I made the video, I saw a 40/80 game starting out on FTP and decided to jump on it and record. Very good action was captured and will be making that into a video sometime soon. Here is my new biggest pot ever online

This is really only notable hand that came up, got very excited on the turn but then was sad on river
