Okay time for my first official blog post in a long time on here! Thanks for reading and following the blog, hopefully I will be able to update more often with graphs and interesting hands on my quest to rise thru the stakes and play 500/1k with Phil Ivey lol.
For those who missed my 30/30 Dating Challenge thread on 2+2, I am sorry. It was basically a challenge I made for myself where the goal was to go on 30 dates in 30 days with women. I would update the thread with trip reports from each date with pics and write about the sexcapades that went down. It was a hugely popular thread and they even talked about it on the 2+2 Pokercast! its a few minutes in
Some of the highlights included, me leaving an asian girl at the beach in chicago, going to a concert with random blonde girl, end up falling for bulgarian girl and eventually go to a Pink concert with her before it all falls apart, sex up random black girl, hispanic girl, white girl with kid, etc..
Eventually someone got upset about my exploits and sent messages out to most of the girls on my facebook friends list about the dating thread and how I am writing about it all and other means choice words. I had to get the thread deleted because I really didn't want a bunch of people I know IRL reading about it but while it was there, the thread was AMAZING!
I am actually moving to La Jolla in San Diego later this month with small stakes player Dashornman and I look foward to picking up where my 30/30 challenge left off as I attempt to conquer the women of SD!! Stay Tuned for updates on this!! If anyone lives out there let me know!
I wrote up a trip report from my live poker session I played the other night, you can read that here if you would like

I am still planning to do my 1 Million Hands in 1 Month at 6max prop bet in January. I decided to do it then for a few reasons. First, I won't reach SNE this year so I figure this will give me a good head start next year, also many of the regs won't be grinding for milestones/be at pca/taking time off/etc so games should be a little easier. Doing it in January also allows me to build up my bankroll some more and get maximum action on the prop (hoping for 60k+). I am actually very excited to attempt this and think it will be a real challenge for me! I am just worried that my recent high stakes playing with playing less tables will affect my ability/desire to grind nl100 for 15 hours a day for a month straight. We will see!
As far as poker goes, here's how September went for me. I started off making a few prop bets that I needed to play 300k hands, but before I went nuts on that I decided to start taking some shots at 5/10 6m/fr games that looked good. I started off doing well and was up around 10k before having a bad session and losing 6kish. I grinded back at lower for a few days and then decided to start shot taking more. I ran well/played well and ended up with my biggest poker month yet. I played some random 25/50, 10/20 also along the way and here are some of the fun HH's

Throw in a few set over sets in my favor/against, a few overbets that worked, me losing a bunch with AA aipf and here are my results for the month
+4.5k rakeback
+1k plo


Naturally I was feeling pretty good about the month and as October started I figured I would try the same things and see what happened. The first session went well but then I had a glorious -10k day with me running bad, trying to bluff Anksy off AA (featured in a deucescracked video), trying to make a play on Kingofcards after he lost alot to PA headsup. I was pretty sad after it all happened and decided to go back and play nl100 later that night and had a +21BI session. Then the next 2 sessions at nl100 I lost 20 and 15BI respectively and was all confused and shit and decided i hated full ring. The next day I started 24 tabling 1/2 6max, made 1k, got some confidence back and started taking 3/6 5/10 10/20 shots. The results since then have gone great and I have rebounded from being -12k to now up 2k for the month. Also I am FINALLY out of the negative on the God Almighty PokerTableRatings site much to the chagrin of all my PTR comment fans.
Graph for the month so far


Some fun hands from the month

Some fun hands for sure! Some ask why I am playing so high and do I think I have an edge and am I fucking nuts? Yes I am nuts, I think I have an edge over awful fish players and because nl100/200 just doesn't excite me anymore. I want to feel the heart beating and 2k/4k pots get me excited to play poker again and I can actually play normal there. Compared to when I play nl100 and just go nuts and 3bet every hand and call every 4bet with atc. My overall results have been good so far but we will see what happens, I might make 50k, I might lose 20k, I would say its 50/50 either way but hopefully I will be able to take some 25/50 shots soon, I have to clear the 4k fpp and purchase my 5k milestone bonus and maybe with that monies I will take a 9k shot.
Besides all of that fun stuff, life has been going well and have been back in the gym everyday in preparition of the beaches in San Diego! Can't wait to get out there and enjoy nice weather/women all the time! Time go to sleep but thanks for reading the blog!!
