Hey LP, been a while since I blogged so I figured I'd get one in here;
Spent the last few months getting my life together after an insane 6 months living in a party house in LV, was good times but took its toll n my roll.. ;-)
Boredom was creeping in harder and i was feeling more stagnant day by day after moving back to my hometown. Something needed to be done. Watched every pokerstars.net biggame (<3 scott sever or however u spell his last name)
Got my inspiration and won the 11r.
I cashed out a fat 6k+ chunk, paid back a couple debts and left myself a lil to grind up. Taking that 6500 and getting a nice 1 bedroom apartment near the strip and going to play live 3-4 days a week.
MTTs sundays with FPP buy-ins from grinding. (40,500 to play warm up mil and the 2nd chance)
6max cash games online, 40 hrs 24 tabling (graph located below)
Now this is a job with sunday bonus and im pretty confident im gonna take down atleast one sunday in the next 365 days =) top 100 in warm up 3 times in about 10 tries, thats the most likely, warm ups so sick soft too tho. that fcking mil is full of land mines though, lil tougher to bink that fucker.
Some may ask why switch to 6max after a year off of 6max and a losing PTR Graph, this is an extremely valid question.
After going through some insanely large swings in mtts, i've learned tilt control very well. i'm in much more control of my ego now and realize playing hu is silly gambling, where i always want my edge. I can make a large amount doing this, be in correct mind for casino and have live roll too and still play MTTs. This is what we call having our cake and eating it too. I went through some serious mental overhauls in the last couple years and have learned a lot, i've been very solid in the cash arena for the last year.
A few other reasons;
A. to stay in cashgame mindset
B. the games are soft and hourly is nice
C. Can have more of a life and get laid more and drink more
D. I can stop sessions after a few hours, opposed to 20 hr mtt days
E. Never have to be staked again
F. god i can go on all day ;-)
NL50 / 1/2 - 1/3 live + sunday majors and a few random mtts on the side for now, if i make great hourly @ NL100 / 2/5 i'll play them at 12-15k when the games are soft, if not just play nl50 / 1/2.
300/day = 100k a year, seems very do-able this way. Add in SUndays and random MTTs, very exciting =)
Ticket is bought to arrive in Las Vegas on 12-10-2010, if anyones out there definitely get ahold of me here or fb or w/e
3rd times a charm for vegas, first time won 25k and left, 2nd time left with 1.5k and had the time of my life, this time im doin it for work, doin it serious, and goin to the top of live cash / mtts / working hard to reach the mid limit games in 6max.
Gonna be livin it up hard in the city too, just avoid those damn rhinowned nights etc  Easy to have a blast in vegas for $100-$200, don't need to go blow umteen thousand, although easily done, i'll let the true ballers ball for now on, til i hit my wsop :-)
Dedicated, focused, Ready.
GL LP,
Ryan
