Lost a prop bet (pics)
thewh00sel, Oct 26 2010
Had a prop bet with a friend where we each drafted 3 guys in WSOPE and deepest runner wins; he won. Bet was you had to paint a pumpkin on your stomach and walk around trick or treating on halloween. After it was over we found out halloween's on a sunday so we just said go to some public place (we went to a pumpkin patch). Results + mandatory baby pics:
Good thing I had a pumpkin baby to carry around or I might've gotten some funny looks.

This past 12 months has been very frustrating. Here's a peak into what it looks like.
Oct 09: The death month -$38,492
Lost every time I played this month, online tourneys, live cash, live tourneys, you name it. It was awful and turned what looked like was going to be a monster year (it was still good) into a fight to improve on the previous year.
Nov 09: Don't call it a comeback +$28,609
Looked like a smooth recovery, won the stars saturday 320 for 30k and was back in business.
Dec 09: Not-so-Boring breakevenness -$6,584
Was stuck 22k with 3 days left in the month, played one session of 25-50 and won 15k to end up losing 6k so I was happy but still annoyed with how the first part of the month had gone.
Jan 10: -$2,309
Won live, lost online
Feb 10: Super Bowl Wonday +$99
Had a 3rd place on superbowl sunday in the 50r for 20k and lost every other day of the month
March 10: The beginning of the end -$26,401
Just awful results online, did not put up a winning day, Live cash was breakeven
April 10: Broke/Break +$3,262
Played not much online MTT's, cashed out what i had left online, sucked up the pride and got a backing deal for the volatility of MTT poker.
May 10: Backed and busted -$6,600
Lost in live cash and was kind of depressed for all of scoop so it wasn't that fun.
June 10: WSOPlease! +$24,249
Won 17k @ live poker and had a 4th place in WSOP event to settle up for a whopping $7k profit on MTTs for 2.5 months work.
July 10: Stringing something together??? +$8,756
Turned a small profit playing low volume of live cash
August 10: Nevermind -$9,385
Only played a little bit but didnt win when I did.
September 10: Same shit -$3,382
Oct 10: So far so good +$3,720
I'll let you know lol
Grand total for my last 12 months: -$24,457...minus much more on expenses, plus a bunch of makeup since I am really good at bubbling stuff. Lesson is if you don't put in the volume, variance can be a bitch. It can also be a bitch without warning in general; every day I'm getting better, and showdowns are getting harder to win if the money goes in before the river.
Busto countdown clock? Over-under is at 6 months
WAAAAAH

Goal Fail
thewh00sel, Aug 29 2010
Oops. that didn't work. only played 6 out of the last 11 days, 42.5 hours total and a net loss of 2.5k. Not quite what I wanted but I'm gonna get back at it the next week before I leave and before WCOOP starts. GL kids.
Under Achiever

Unfortunately i couldn't win key flips deep in the ftops and whatnot but as usual i'm not disappointed in my play. I am, however, upset with the amount of volume I've been putting in at the casino. Now obviously some of that is a function of FTOPs and me playing a bunch of tourneys but also since before June I really haven't played enough live cash and have slowly been spending money and not really earning any. So it's back to the grind where I'm going to set an ambitious (for me) goal of 50 hours per week logged at the casino between now and WCOOP starting/when I leave for New Zealand for APPT (Sep 5th/12th respectively).
That gives me a lil under 3 weeks where I'll need to accumulate 150 hours of live poker. If I hit 150 I'll be happy given my current average of less than 40 hours a month for this year. pathetic. As far as a profit goal...I guess I'll set one since I really do need to win some money. I haven't made a dime all year. I'm stuck like 200 bucks for the year after 7.5 months of grinding. Part of it not grinding enough, part of it just bricking all tournaments (up like 50k in cash down 50k in tourneys). But no excuses, if i played more cash I'd have a lot more money laying around. $ goal set at 20k or $133 per hour if I do 150 hours at 5/10. Seems reasonable.
I'll update at the mid-point either 75 hours or 10k won or Aug 27 whichever comes first. Wish me work ethic!
Feeling good

Couple deep runs today, played great, no FT's. look for a "w00t" blogpost in the next week or two with a big score. ttyl blog
New Zealand
thewh00sel, Jul 24 2010
I'm going to NZ for APPT Auckland, my wife will likely come too. I know there's a few LPers from NZ, so what's fun to do around there other than the Casino?
Main Event
thewh00sel, Jul 05 2010
Busted out in level 3
Tourney Recap:
Got KK vs AA -> only lost 5k on 22983 board down to 25k
Got J9 vs AK all in on J9K flop for 13k or so each, river K down to 12k
3bet light with a bad player in the middle, first guy 4-bet and i folded, down to 9k
KK < TT all in preflop to bust.
Annoying but I'm not that upset because I didn't make any mistakes. gl the rest of LP I hope you crush it.
