april review

so the end of this month turned out to be a total disaster but ill get to that in a bit. turns out this month has been a huge roller coaster of highs and lows. guess ill start with the life portion of it, the begining of the month was decent went clubbing once and the went to the opening of rehab at the hard rock (beach club). and the rest of the month hasnt been to exciting and not much has happend. as for poker im on a wild ride with loops and sharp curves. well to start it off online poker was going ok for what i did play and then boom death switch to online poker and now its illegal and no u.s. players can play so that was like an ultimate bad beat. and live poker for most of the month was going good seemed like i was running really hot and things were going really well, so well i was able to step up to the 2/5 games with 20 buyins for that level (ontop of my 1/2 bankroll). and things started off decent, won decent on the first day, pulled a horrible bluff the next day for my stack, then the next three days were awesome and wona totall of 4 buyins. and then there are these last 3 days of the month. ohhhhh if only there was a rewind button... where do i begin so on the 28th was just a bad luck day, i was card dead for most of the time i played and when i picked up a hand and flopped top 2 the guy had bottom set on a drawy board so i can chalk that up as varriance, then theres the 29th.
this day had to do with ego issues and ill get more into that in a bit. but to start the day off i was down like 30-40bb's nothing to crazy just how the hands went i guess then this guy 3 bets me from the button i call trying to set mine and wiff the flop of A 2 6, the flop has 2 dimonds and i think i can rep a lot on the turn so i flat his flop bet, turns a K of dimonds and i lead out for just over half pot, he calls and the rivers a blank and i shove and he tanks for a minute or so and calls with AQ no dimond, so i was repping a set or flush or possible AK but i guess it looked fishy or somthing idk it is kinda in the air between a smart bluf that just got called or suicide who knows. then theres today. started off the day decently and within a few orbits pretty much doubled up. then was card dead for an hour or so, mean while theres 2 lags at the table one to my left and there just thorwing money around. i finally get into a pot with the guy to my left theres 2 limpers and i raise to 30$ with AQ in the sb, lag to my left 3bets to 120$ gets folded to me and i thaught for a bit hes been super active and bluffing a lot but ive never seen him three bet. anyway i 4 bet and he shoves and now i have to call and he has AK and holds up, he only had 500 at that point so it left me with 200$ left. then like 3 hands later theres 1 limper and i raise withAQ again splashly like im steamed and everyone folds to the limper who calls. flop comes 7 high and we both check turn is a Q and he checks and i bet like 50$ splashy like again. he calls and the river is a 7 and he shoves, i call and he shows 5 7 to put salt in the wound, guy to my left also says he had a 7 for the case 7...sweet. so thats how the end of my month went.
moving up to 2/5 has affected my play dramatically these last 3 days and ive had a lot of mental wars going on in my head, basically meta gaming with my self. my first thaught is that these players are on an upper level and now i need to be on the next level above taht to win. wich isnt the case cause that mostly involves me trying to out bluff them in wrong spots like on the 29th. that has happend to me before as well when ive moved up stakes online i felt i needed to be super aggressive at the next level when i really didnt and it quickly ruined me. ive read that when your moving up you usually dont need to change your game that much, and i feel like ive been pressure myself beyond my comfort to make plays i dont normally make to try and be a winning player at the higher level, which i just need to play my normal game and im glad ive caught myself before its way too late. another thing that has been driving me crazy is the players at 2/5 i think the aria has got worse since the internet has shut down, and what i mean by that is that most of the people from the interwebs are starting to play there and also venetian a little too. ive met a couple of them and that was cool and everything but the problem is that they are either 100nl online players or above, which makes the games pretty difficult which i knew was going to happen, and it also made me think that usually theres only 3-5 2/5nl games going and say if all the players were winning players where is the money to be won, your basically trading coolers and maybe getting lucky here and there but in the long run are you really going to win that much against regulars, which you wont. the money to be won is from the bad players wich aria doesnt seem to have that much of. it just made me think if the only games that are offered are games with winning players why do you sit in them unless you know you are gonna be the winner right. its just a lot of thaughts going through my head, and ive decided to take tomorrow off and just recollect everything and get myself back into the zone to where i was playing profitable and not some agro kid putting his money in bad. i still do believe over the long run ill be a winning player at 2/5 specially if i had more time and more of a sample but for the next two weeks i need to really just play smart and not get myself into those bad situations. thankfully i am still up in profit for the month and it was going to turn into a super stellar month if i didnt go and fuck it all up but heres the results wich are still my best to date

online:+50$
live: +2950$

my live roll now sits at 12,500. and my online roll im getting off online since theres no more interweb poke for me :(

2/5 thus far

so yesterday was a very intersting day but ill talk abou that in a little bit. so far since my last post 2/5 has been going very smoothly. they always say its verry good to run good when you move up and it seems like im doing just that. the first day after my last post i won 750$, then next day i won 850$ i was up to 1000$ but just lost some minor pots at the end of my session. and then there was yesterday. to start off the day there was only 3 2/5 games going at the aria when i got there which wasnt that big of a deal it usually gets busy there around 9pm so i ended up sitting at a table with "ice man" hes been interviewed at the world series and some of you may know who im talking about big gangster looking dude.
anyway theres probablly a reason he plays 2/5 and 5/10, becasue playing with him i could tell he wasnt very good. but anyway to start the day off right second hand i get i pick up 45 of spades and there 4 limpers in front of me so i limp and a couple more people limp. flop comes 2 3 8 with two dimonds and one spade. it gets checked to me and i bet like 15$ into a 30$ pot and 2 people call. the turn is a 7 of spades... yahtzee. gets checked to me and i bet 65$ guy to my left raises to 165$ which would leave me with like 250$ in my stack i sit there for like 30 seconds to act like im thinking and push the rest in. he thinks for a while and calls. river is a jack and i show the straight and he muck, he said he had a set wich makes sense. but yeah that was a very decent way to start the day with a 500$ double up. from there i fell a little bit maybe to only being 300 up and then hit some cards i dont remember the hand but at one point i was up 800$ then it kinda seemed like i was just in a little downswing and couldnt really win any pots and fell to only being 250 up. i eventually won a couple hands and got it back to being 500$ up and then BAM!
jamie gold sits down 2 to my left he was there with some guy and they were ordering food he didnt really seem like he was playing that serious, but ive also read in a couple places that hes pretty much busto which could be another reason he was at a 2/5 table who knows. anyway he dropped like 500 in a couple hours after finishing his food and him and his friend left, after that i really couldnt get anything going again and lost 200$ to the table drunk who rivered a full house vs my straight wich wasnt that big of a deal, only 40 bb's i left about an hour later only leaving 200$ up. i felt kinda bad yesterday cause i was up 800$ and i was only leaving up 200 wich sucked but i was still leaving with decent profit so it was a good night, but full of swings and strange encounters and turned out to be a verry interesting day. to kinda extend on my experience with 2/5 it seems it more of a player game than anything else. like at 1/2 your mostly playing a profitable style and you can see decent returns usually. but at 2/5 your more so playing the table and the players and counter acting there style to be able to win money. sometimes the games seem like 10nl and sometimes they seem like 25nl really just depends on the players. but in the end i feel i can be a decent winner at 2/5 and i have 2 weeks left to try and do so. well next time i post will be my monthly review and you can expect it to be my best month unless i get doom swithced, wich will probablly happen now that ive blogged about my winnings so stay tuned

sunday recap

so this week had a little bit of excitment. i started off playing 1/3 for the first few days and was running pretty hot, i think there were 3 instances where i was behind in big pots and ended up winning so thats always a plus. then i took a couple days off for myself and was really conidering playing thw wsop circuit event on the 23rd but decided not to. ill have plenty of more chances to play a decent tourney like that in the future but that had the "wsop" logo, so it woulda been cool but wasnt at the top of my priority. i decided instead to try out 2/5 the first session i played was at the aria and went pretty decent coming out 340 up but today i went to the venetian to play and things werent really going so hot lost 200 in the begining just from normal situations then won it back in a decent pot and then i played this horrific hand.

utg limped i was utg +1 and had QQ and raised to 25, guy to my left 3bets to 75$ everyone folds to me and i flat call. the flop comes A 3 6, i chck and he checks. for some god afull reason i instantly put him on kings wich isnt that horibble of a thaught, its what i did next that makes the hand a disaster. the turn is a J i lead out for 100 into a 150$ pot. first mistake was turning my hand with showdown value into a bluff, the only hand i would possibly get to fold would be kk. if he slowplayed AK or AA i was already beat and now if he had JJ he had a set, the second mistake was i really only had to bet 80 or 85 wich would have done the same thing as 100 in that spot. so he flats. the river is a like a 4 or somthing and i bet 200 into a 350$ pot i dont mind that bet if the guy actually had kk but i was quick to find out he didnt when he said raise and i quickly folded. right after that he said he had JJ for a set on the turn. so after playing that hand about as bad as i could possibly play it i left shortly after. i wasnt on tilt or anything i just felt upset at myself mostly for turning a strong hand with showdown value into a bluff wich i hardly do unless im prety sure im beat and i can get them to fold. but in that hand i was jsut being a spewtard mashing the bet button.

altough ive only played 2/5 for a couple days i was able to notice the differences between 1/2, and 2/5 the main thing is that its a little bit more aggressive and it seems most of the players understand abc poker for the most part. depending on the table theres only about 3 bad players to take advantage of compared to 1/2 where the whole table might be bad players. players at 2/5 are generally tighter although the first 2/5 game i played in was a little on the loose side, i guess it just depends on the players but in general the players are a little better. also i started to notice myself thinking on the next "level" while playing 2/5 and it usually goes along the lines of what does he think i have, or what have i been representing. all in all though i feel like i can beat 2/5. when i was playing 1/2 i was beating it for 8-10bb/100 hands but at 2/5 i think i can hold a winrate of like 4-5bb/100 hands depending on the game selection. thats another thing usually 1/2 games have about twice as many tables going than 2/5 so you have more to choose from but thats not that much of negative. all in all though if you can beat 25nl online than i belive you can beat 2/5

so tomorrow im calling my union to see where my names at on the list and if its coming up pretty soon than this might be my last week here, but if i still got a ways to go than i will probablly stay here till the middle of may maybe. which would be nice and fun to be able to play 2/5 for a few weeks. im already happy that i was able to win enough to play 2/5 so hopefully i can hold my own with the time i have left here and dont lose all my profits so next time i post will probablly be the monthly recap and possibly my winter in vegas recap so stay tuned for that

mission complete

so this past few sessions ive played live have been very successfull, and if you read my last pst i had a semi goal to try and reach $10,000 before i left vegas and i was able to reach that yesterday. also to note i have been running very hot and well above ev sucking out a few times but ill take the money however i can get it. today i am actually not going to play for personal reasons but the last 2 days i put in a 10 hour day and then a 12 hour day so im definitley putting in volume before i leave. having this big upswing has put a couple thaughts into my head that i am now really considering playing in the wsop circuit event on the 23rd and also thinking about playing 2/5. i have 20 buyins for that level and i feel i can play in it comftorablly and feel i would be a winner in that game. the only thing i dont want to happen is if i start playing 2/5 and i just take a big downswing and lose a lot of my profit that took the whole winter to earn but we'll see i was thinking about taking a shot at it either after the wsopc event or this weeknd so we'll see how i feel also in more good news pokerstars has reopened the site for us players to withdrawl their money so thats a plus. talking to people at the casino they were so sceptical saying that you wont ever see your money again and this and that but i knew that players would get their money back its just a matter of time actually a lot faster than i expected. also due to the ban of online poker i have notice significant increases of players in the poker room which isnt bad, but it also is making the games a little more tougher because the online players are a lot more solid but other than that things or going decent and ill report back when i have more news space cadetts

sunday sunday sunday!

so yeah every poker player knows about the doj shutting down online poker for U.S. players so i dont need to talk about it. as for my bankroll online, its kinda iffy. now im wishing i didnt deposit that extra 2k a month ago so that i could get a head start for the summer but we'll see how it turns out. anyway i had 4600 online and when i woke up and read the news i instantly tried to withdraw. i withdrew 2500 by check and then 2100 by wiring to my bank account. i think the money i wired to my account is going to get there because i got an email saying it processed it but takes 3-10 days to show up in my account so ill find out if it really went threw or not. the check im not sure if ill see that or not as of now the process is "pending" so im not to sure ill see that anytime soon. doesnt mean i wont get the money just means it will take a while before they figure out what they need to do to pay u.s. players, and if worse comes to worse and i never see the money its not that huge of a deal i mean 4600 isnt somthing you throw around every day but its not going to hurt me if i lose it but it will suck haha. anyway this month online was kinda mediocre for what i was able to play i was up 10 buyins than had a little dowswing of 5 buyins and was kinda hanging around there not that it matters to much anymore. live poker has been going decent. the first like 5 days of the month i was playing 1/2 nl and decided that my bankroll is big enough to play 1/3 nl you might laugh and be like does that really even make a difference, but yes it does and the 1/3 games are pretty decent money wise. right now im 2100$ up for the month, if i can finish the rest of my time here with decent results it will be my best month live. also ive kinda set a goal for myself. if i can win 1400$ more i will have made 10,000$ dollars this winter playing poker. 9000$ from live, and 1000$ from online. not that i can directly use the money ive won from online right now but it will still be an accomplishment im looking to achieve. so since theres not much else for me to do at home other than surf the interwebs and study poker ill be putting in long sessions of live poker probablly 10+ hours its kinda my last hurah since the plan was to 24 table 25nl this summer has been cancelled i wont have any form of poker once i get to alaska so im going to try and get as much now while i can.

this last week has been pretty entertaining in the life category, mainly just this past weeknd. the weekdays were decent nothing too special to report, friday me and my poker friend were planning on going to club tao at the venetian. so i was playing there. then i heard them anounce 4/8 limit horse. theres usually an interest list for that game on the busy weeknds but it hasnt ever got going since ive been here and friday they actually got it going. i actually like horse and decided to take a seat. in the begining i did decent won like 50$ but then mad a couple dumb calls and ended up down 75$. my friend decided to sit at the game as well and he was pretty drunk at the time. it was 9:30 and he told me we really should rack up and get in line for tao. i said ok, i need to go to my truck to get my shirt and shoes. you get in line and ill meet you there in 15 minutes. i get a call 15 minutes later on my way to the line and my friend sayed oh man we fucked up, we fucked up bad the line is so long. i said im almost there ill meet you there. when i got to him he wasnt standing in the line at all. i asked what happend and he said he got dealt like 5 low hands in razz and won 150$. cashed out and then couldnt get in the line without females. i was like man i told you to get in line, he was like i know iknow but i got dealt 5 low hands in razz i just couldnt get up. (haha degenerate gambler at its best). so there was pretty much no possible way for us to get into tao without females and even if we did have females it was going to take an 1 hour + to get in wich i didnt feel like waiting that long. we decided to walk to the wynn to check out the bar scene over there but nothing too exciting. i decided to leve and he stayed and played poker(which did not turn out well for him). anyway nothing really happend saturday just played poker, but on sunday the opening oh rehab day club at the hard rock was going on. we had a room already reserved and admission payed for so we were set to go it just took like an hour to get in but it was insane once we were there. if youve never been to a hotels day club, they also call them beach clubs. they are awesome its basically a giant party during the hot day at the pool with half naked girls running around and music blarring and drunken fun. it was awesome. even though i havnt been to any other beach clubs i think rehab is top notch cause of how big it is and they have like 3 huge pools and huge areas.
mtv actually had a reallity show on it last year i think although i never seen any of the episodes. i think it was the most fun ive had at a club since ive been here and the whole expierience was awesome and i suggest it to anyone who comes to vegas who like to party. did my fair share of talking to the ladies although my friend recieved more action than i did but ive noticed whenever i get pretty drunk my ambition to seek females lower and the drive to have fun raises and that was my main focus sunday but yeah all in all i had a blast

WSOP circuit?

so a lot of things have happened this week and i probablly should have done a mid week post but most of the stuff was at the end of the week so yeah ill get into it with online poker. not too much has really happend in online poker i was kinda breaking even and being in the red slighty for the first 3 or 4 days and then most of my last sessions have been pretty decent and im sitting 10 buyins up so far for the month so things are moving along there, as for live it has been going very well this last week the first bit of the month didnt have too much action and i was kinda just breaking even then i heard that a casino about 15 miles off the strip called red rock had a pretty good 1/2 game and a nice poker room and ive wanted to visit it before i left so i decided one day to play there and ended up winning 550$ not because the game was super bad but mostly cause i sucked out on somone for 200$ and then ran pretty decent. theres nothing too special about the game there and i think the game at the mgm is more profitable and actually closer so i wont be going there again before i leave. then the next day i went to the venetian and won 450$ then for the next couple day i lost a total of 100$ and then today i went to the wynn and played the 1/3 game and won 575$ so right now im up 1650 for the month and if things continue this month might end with another personal best. im actaully going to most likely spend half my time at the wynn and the venetian now. the wynn's 1/3 game is really juicy and has a max buyin of 500$ most people buy in for 300 including me but the game plays like a soft game of 1/2 but the big bling being 3$ makes your raise size more "respectable" by everyone who judges by dollar amount instead of bb's. so things are going pretty well for this week. also they were spreding a private game at the wynn of 20/40 nl with a minimum buyin of 50k.... yeah 50,000$ i guess its some rich guy who invited whoever or somthing but yeah one of the dealers said standard opening raises was like 1000 so i guess the blinds dont really matter in that game. he also said somthing that gave me more confidence which was he thaught i would actually do pretty good in that game (if i had the money) he said its not the "standard" type of poker and very splashy which ive always thaught that the big buyin games were kinda like that sometimes when they spread a 10/20 at the venetian they have people buyin for 20k so i kinda undrstand how the game kinda plays bigger than what it really is.
its not the first time ive been told i have a solid playing style, by dealers and players so whenever i hear people tell me that it gives me more confidencce in my game. also i guess the WSOP circuit is coming to ceasers in the middle of the month and they have quite a bit of events with a buyin of 350$, i actually told myself before i came down here if the trip went well id like to play in a wsop circuit event and i just might, if this month keeps up i might play one of the events in the last couple weeks im here so who knows maybe ill make somthing happen

now for the spicy stuff. so the begining of the week not to much has happend in the "life" category just working out and same routine but friday my friend hit me up and wanted to know if i wanted to go to the new club in paris called chateau. its the newest opened club on the strip so i was down i was actually suprised about the whole experience the line wasnt horrible we did get there a little before it opened and took about 30 minutes to get in but there wasnt an admission, maybe cause they were trying to premote the club or somthing and the club was actually pretty cool the inside was pretty decent had a couple bars bunch of places to dance and a lot of females. also me and my friend were talking to some girls that were all in the same area before the club started to get packed and they said they were "working" and i guess the club hired about 25 of them to dance and stuff untill 1am then they were free to do whatever but they were dressed as normal people which i guess was another way they were trying to premote the club, but there were a lot of other girls besides them so i dont know. there was also an outside area which is where most of the tables are and it did have loud music outside as well but you could still talk and hear each other but outside was a better spot to talk with female units, it also had a very good view of the bellagio and the water fountains as well as ceasers and the cosmo but after a few hours i was ready to go i got out of the club and was suprised to see no line at 1 am. to me the club was pretty cool and id rate it at one of the better clubs in vegas for an all around experience. but its in paris which isnt that booming of a hotel casino so i dont know how well the club is actually gonna do. then yesterday i was playing poker with my friend at the wynn and told him i needed to go to a strip club before i left vegas and he was like alright were going tonight so again i said im down. we left the casino at like 1 am and decided to go to larry flynts hustler club which my friend sayed was awesome and he was pretty right it. although it wasnt packed and i guess it was slow it had a bit of people in there and plenty of pretty ladies, i was a good boy though and only dropped 175$... sometimes i cant help it. annnnywhoooozle i leave the rest for imagination.

i was going to try and make a hand history for this hand i played today but i guess im not smart enough or just lazy either way im typing it now. its a the 1/3 game at the wynn today and ive probablly been at the table for 45 minutes and have already won 275$ so i got a stack of 575$ there a few early position limpers and i raise to 20$ with AK of spades in mp, guy to my left calls then a short stacker calls and the bb and and 2 of the previous limpers. yhe pots 120$ flop comes J 10 5 with the jack and ten being spades. i was like sweet this is a pretty decent situation. it actaully gets checked all the way to the short stack in on the button who shoves for 65$, bb folds then two callers at this point i was like alirght im going to see this for cheap and ive got a lot of equity. there were a lot of players in the hand who had stacks of 300+ so i dont think betting the flop was an option or check raising. but the guy to my right had a different idea. when the action got to him he shoves for 575 making the pot just under 900$ i knew i wasnt getting odds for it and thaught about it for about 30 seconds and folded with that "i hate my life look" on my face everyone else folded turn of course comes a spade which would have gave me the nut flush and river is a king button turns over q 9 for a straight and guy to my right turned over QQ!! theres a couple sirens going off in my head at this point number one this guy limped with qq after 2 limpers before him and a 600$ starting stack. also his check raise on the flop was just notrosious seeing how anything that had him beat was still calling and his equity against 17 players in the pot wasnt the best either. also 3 queens were gone from my possible outs and even if a queen did come on the turn the quy could have possibly filled up on the river i was getting like 1.75-1 to call and needed at least 2-1 to call if my overs werent good which i thaught they wouldnt have been. there was a lot of comotion about the hand and i told the table i folded AK of spades and every one of them told me they would never fold in that spot ever i told them i didnt have odds but that didnt change their minds LOL. but yeah had i stayed in that pot it would have been almost 1500$ and wouldve been the biggest pot i ever won. guess ill have to save that achievment for another day.

2011 scoop

since my last post not much has happend i didnt play on the first and these past 2 days have been break even days and thats about it for poker, but more importantly they put the scoop events (spring chanpionship of online poker) up like a week or so ago and since i have two 11$ and one 33$ tickets that i won from the wbcoop i decided to figure out which events i was going to play in.
they have about 8 events with a 11$ buyin a few are pl omaha a couple draw games and then a few nl holdem games theres only 2 that offer a single buyin without rebuys and i prefer tourneys without rebuys so the 11$ events ill be playing in are event #8 on may 10th and event #26 on may 17th the 33$ event is a little interesting because they only have 3 events for it a stud event, nl holdem 4max and an 8 game tourney. i feel like my short game is decent but i dont think its near what it should be to try and play a tourney 4 handed so i decided not on that one i was pushing towards the stud event which i would rather play holdem but stud isnt so bad i suppose just boring, but then i looked over the 8 game format for some reason i thaught it had badugi in it which i dont really know how to play and dont really care to learn it but i noticed it didnt and all the games in the tourney i feel comftorable so i decided ill play 8 game for my 33$ entry which is event #29 on may 19th, that tourney is a 50k garuntee so itll probablly get about 3000 entrants the two 11$ tourneys are 100k garuntees and will probablly get around 20,000 players in those events ill just be looking to cash but ill still be playing for the win. in the 8 game tourney i feel like i have a better chance at going deep even though nlh is my specialty i jsut feel like ill have more of a chance of getting somwhere and the payouts will be bigger starting stacks for the holdem events are 10,000 which will be cool i havnt played a 10k starting stack tourney since the sunday million i played like 6 months ago (just bairly cashing) but the 8 game is a 5000 starting stack tourney wich is fine all the tourneys have really good blind structures and i should be able to make a million.... oh sorry had a dream there for a second. hopefully ill be able to cash in one maybe make a decent score of a couple hundred dollars or somthing but im hoping for the best either way. also i should be in alaska by that time and ill have my laptop so depending where i can find wirless internet ill probablly be playing in like a starbucks or some random place i can get wifi. ive never played any scoop events before and probablly wouldnt have played this year if i didnt win those tickets but from what i hear its pretty much the best series of online tournaments for all buyins which is cool for people who dont wanna spend money on big buyin events but still want to play a "series" or somthing like that. maybe next year ill play bigger events once i build my roll up but for now ill just play the ones im free rolled for ;) anyway thats about all for now guess ill post again next sunday unless i get some craaaaazyyyy news. later

march review

so this month went pretty good as far as dollar amount goes and turns out to be my most profitable month both online and live since ive been in vegas. i suppose ill start with live poker. pretty much the whole month i was running pretty decent i wasnt on a heater really just having steady results these last few days though were a little rough and were going to totally ruin my profit but i was able to win most of what i lost back to finish the month with a decent amount, i was able to take $2325 off the tables this month wich is my best month so far before the start of this week i was at about 2500 or 26 but then things got a little bumpy at the end but im still really happy with the results. one thing that i found interesting was my winrate i figured i play about 40 hands an hour live and i play 6-7 hours a day for the past 4 months which would come out to about 28500-33500 hands and im up 4550$ so thats a win rate of 6.8bb/100 - 8bb/100 which isnt necessarilly destroying the game but its a pretty decent win rate i think. but what i thaught was interesting is that it turns out with the later winrate im making about 6.5 dollars an hour and if im able to have a winrate of 2bb/100 online at 25nl 24 tabling, ill actually be able to make more per hour than playing 200nl live which i thaught was interesting and im looking forward too once i start playing 25nl this summer.

online went well too, mostly from the second half of the month but it all turned out for me. to start the month the first week seemed decent i think i was up like 5 buyins nothing to special and then i started getting a lot of swings mostly just up and down like 3 buyins each time but it went on for like 10 days which sucked then i hit a really hot session and won 11 buyins and then kept winning after that. again the start of this week sucked and i lost like 5 or 6 buyins but was able to recover it and a little bit more before the months end. also to top things off they had a 25% reload bonus and i was able to earn an extra 100$ from that heres the graph



i also played a few small buy in tournaments but came out empty handed so my profit is a little bit less than what the graph shows and then add the 100$ bonus and im up 395$ in profit for the month. so things went rather well for this micro grinder and im pleased with my results for this month and my steady improvments up to this point.

so this will be my last month here in vegas and as such i plan on taking advantage of what i can i be grinding just as much and ill be pushing for just as good of results so hopefully i will be able to provide. also the beach club "rehab" at the hardrock opens the 17th and me and my friend are planing on going to that on opening day hes already been to it once and said it was super sick so hopefully it will be pretty awesome. also i might try and see one more show before its time to leave maybe even two i was thinking about blue man group and than maybe another show so we'll see about that. things im not going to get around to before i leave though include me going sky diving. i was really considering it but im being a puss and backing out, mainly cause i dont want to go through the hassel of booking the charter and everything but i would deffinitly do it sometime. also not going to see a concert like i wanted, there just wasnt really any performers i was really interested in seeing. and also not going to see any mma fights which i really wanted to see but me being lazy waited till it was to late to actually get interested in trying to go to them and lost out. but its alright things have been pretty awesome so far. it looks like ill be leaving here probablly may 1st or 2nd so the last few days ill be cleaning whatever i need to in my apartment and pack everything and all that type of stuff so my vegas vecation will probablly come to an end like the last few days of the month. i think thats about all for the month and ill post again on sunday. so keep it intereting folks
