Up until now I regard my poker 'career' as pathetic, I've had small stints and made some cash, and then not played for months- this has happened repeatedly. I've always been thinking about the game, watching videos, reading forums, but what good is that without actually playing? I definitely enjoy the game so I don't know why I've been so lazy, it just reflects my last few years altogther.

Last month I at least put a fair number of hands in over a two week period, mostly to unlock the free 80k VPP from Stars. In all honestly I only ended up playing those hands because I thought I could put $400 on Stars and get the 7500VPP needed on NL25 in no time... I should have really checked that with some NL25 players T_T anyway I soon moved up to NL50 and got it done.

I cashed out most of my money (all from FTP, left about $500 on Stars) to go on holiday with around May 21st. I didn't have any choice in this, I'm not in a good financial state so I needed the extra cash. I decided that in June I was going to start taking my life and everything I do seriously, no more half arsed efforts. For poker this meant quitting or really putting some work in and seeing if I can make some serious money.

I restarted on June 4th so 5 days have elapsed so far. I started by padding my bankroll at NL25, quickly moved up to NL50 and continued there. I needed about 1.4k VPP for Supernova this morning and decided it would be a good idea to earn all of that today. Normally I like to 4-6 table full size tables and focus on all my opponents, I suck at playing 'robotic' mass tabling poker. Mass tabling actually tilts the hell out of me, I was spewing all over the place with my readless plays. I appreciate players like 20 Buck Spin on a whole new level now, crushing high stakes on tons of tables- I now realise more than ever that I suck at this game. So 16 tabling 6max today just to get Supernova resulted in a shit breakeven day (+$17 in 6k hands rofl) ruining my healthy winrate, thankfully I DID get Supernova and also the $160 cash bonus so it wasn't all bad.

So far in June + $1k in cash games and + $180 in bonuses, with Supernova unlocked. Hoping to move up to NL100 by the end of this week. I'm aiming for my best month ever and to have enough money to stay at whatever limit I reach since I will inevitably need to cash out more money at the end of the month.
