Another month is pretty much in the books now. Finished November +44,663.
Don't feel exactly satisfied though because I was up ~55k 2 weeks into the month. This has happened to me twice before where I get up big the first two weeks, roughly somewhere around 50k, then nothing seems to go right. I felt like I didn't run that well considering I lost 3 or 4 pots at 10/20 for 4k where I got 2 outed on the river then also couldn't seem to win any pots AIPF where I was a favorite. I dropped like 16k on the 15th of the month. I definitely didn't play well that session, but I was motivated to win it back. Took a 30 minute break, then spent the following 8 hours grinding trying to get back to even and finished +3k.

After that I was just kind of sour on continuing to put in much volume. I talked to a friend about it, he said I have complacency tilt. Can't exactly disagree. I've never had a month better than 55k but I've had multiple months where I am up that much 2 weeks into it. I'm not a greedy person though. I don't exactly need all that money. Sorta strange I actually feel broke right now especially considering I only spent 7k this month. Probably because it takes forever to get my money off these sites. Have like 40k in limbo right now that's neither in my bank or in my bankroll. So really haven't been playing the last two weeks.

One weird thing I've seemed to have been noticing lately is more and more people who are claiming the games are too difficult now and that it's incredibly hard to win. I really don't agree at all. My game has become even more robotic in the last few months than it has ever been before. I have all of the spots memorized. I haven't even been working away from the tables hardly at all. I just have set ranges for every spot and I play them all the same way. I don't even adjust for player tendencies and I've been consistently having 30k+ months for the last 4 months putting in roughly 15 hours a week. And I'm really not THAT good.

Been trying to find a new coach but can't really seem to find anyone who is both capable and willing to do so. I looked into some guys who were really successful at high stakes games 12-24 months ago, but many of them are struggling now and are not even playing as high as I am regularly. I tried asking Sauce and Ben86, neither said they were currently coaching. I heard something about Jungleman charging 1200/hr but that's a little more than I want to pay and I'm mostly looking for someone to work with me on my 6max game--don't even know if he plays 6max at all.

I'm heading back up to the bay area in two days to go catch a couple of Golden State Warriors games with a friend. 400 bucks got courtside seats so that's pretty cool. I expect I won't be playing much for the next couple of days at least. Anyways, promised myself I would no longer talk about personal issues in my blog. So I guess that's it for now.

lol why are you so interested in it?


MiPwnYa    Brasil. Nov 29 2012 06:46. Posts 5230

3 main reasons
1. It'll probably be an interesting match to rail
2. The post-match shit talking will be fun
3. I love betting on these things

Which sites are you playing? How much volume at 10/20, 5/10, lower?


barbieman   Sweden. Nov 29 2012 06:55. Posts 2132

Cudos on a nice month! How many hands did you put in, and how many tables do you average?

lock merge acr and bodog

1knl 2.5k + 3k + 3k = 8.5k
2knl 400 + 400 + 400 +8.6k = 10.8k
3k/5knl 300 + 150 = 450

thanks, sometimes i play up to 8 but i think i might be a slight loser with 8. i know i made a mistake when i would sit hu vs good regs @ 10/20 while already having 6 or 7 other tables and lost a bunch when that happened. there was one stretch this month where i lost 8500 at one table over ~35 hands because of that.

my sweet spot is 4. i think im most profitable there. at 6 its tough to say cuz i know im still making money but not sure if im making more than when at 4. depends on the tables, who is at them, my seat at them, and how much attention i have to pay, and also, #1 most important is if im winning or not. if im winning i can always play more tables than if im losing.

nothing ever changed for me after BF. i was always playing these sites before then and im still playing them now. i know many people who do and some win more than me.

there was some big thread on 2p2 about how people's lives changed after BF, i made a post telling people nothing changed for me and i just kept playing. really dunno why so many people quit ... i guess they just couldn't keep up, or didnt work hard enough on their games'.

Not to be a dick but can you even cashout on these sites? From what ive read it takes months if at all...


whamm!   Albania. Nov 29 2012 08:47. Posts 11625

How are u doing for the year total?

And +1 for the HU.

I played on cake (revolution) and merge and had no problems cashing out to moneybookers usually within a few days which is just as fast as ipoker or ongame (I'm Canadian).

For americans though it's a different story where it takes much longer since they need to wait for cheques that take a random amount of time, usually between 3-6 weeks.
