so the last week turned out decent for me and ive come to realize a few things esspecially playing 3/5 nl. to start the month off i was going through what seemed to be pretty standard varriance mixed with me getting back into the hang of things and readjusting to the live poker scene and not have been playing for the previous 6 months. although it felt like i was able to adjust pretty quickly i was having a lot of ups and downs in my sessions and for the first 3 weeks i was breaking even which im pretty certain was just varriance. this last week went more decent than the first and i started to show results and im ending the month exactly 2000$ in profit. when i first started playing this month i stated that 3000 should be a decent monthly average and then after a week went by i gave my self a goal for the month to get 2000 and then the more days that went by the more i just wanted to end the month with just a little profit and then this week happend and i was able to land on my original goal. i still think that 3000 is a decent monthly average but the numbers can be tweaked a bit depending on varriables of course. i think if your running well and putting in decent volume then 5000 would be a verry profitable month and if your running mediocre and still putting in a lot of volume than 4000 should be obtainable and of course if your not running so hot or not putting in that much volume than 3000 or less is probablly the right figure. of course it all depends on the varriables and conditions but thats just my basic thaughts on how the numbers would come out.
now im going to talk about somthing that ive been thinking about for the last week. i put in 24 sessions this month and it came out to 159 hours with 2000 in profit which is right around 5500 hands and turns out to be 12.50$ an hour. of course 5500 hands isnt much of a sample so i wont hesitate on my dollar per hour amount. what i really wanted to get at was through the whole month i only had one huge winning day where i booked a 2100$ win right after a downswing. i also destinctively remembering having a stack of 1200-1500 several times and i would say atleast 7 or 8 sessions ive had a stack of 1200 the thing is almost every single time ive had a stack where
ive had 300bb's on the table i end up losing like half of it before the night was over. it got to the point to where i was saying night after night "i should have just picked up and left when i had 1500". the thing of it was that i was more focused in putting in the hours and was really aiming for 8 hours a night on average so i would usually always leave at midnight. although i do believe poker is one long session, each individual session is different with a different table vibe and varriables. so this next month when i reach 1200-1500 and the next hour after that is a little dull or slow im going to pick up and end the session not even worrying about how much time i put in. if i would have done that this last month i would be sitting with at least 4000$ in profit and not 2000$. i think the only time im going to stay on the table with more money than that is if i know im running hot and the table has a lot of profitable spots. so if this next month turns out either super positive or super bad ill rethink my approach but i have a feeling it will go better than this last month. also taking this approach will give me more time to practice my pick up game. i dont really have anything to input about my pick up becasue i didnt do any and was just focused on poker this last week. tomorrow is new years eve and i plan on going out and running a lot of solid game. i was thinking about going to this big party at the bottom of the space needle but i think it will be sold out so ill probablly just hit the downtown strip area. i guess one thing did happen though. after christmas one of the girls whos numbers i got when i first got here texted me after not talking for a couple weeks. we ended texting for a few more days and i suggested we have a movie night either at her place or mine and she seemed down with it so next week might be fun. this girl was the one who seemed pretty conservative and i dont like the idea of trying to get intimate with a girl if shes really conservative like that but i do need to increase my female social circle and she is cute so she can help me with that. i also got a new 55" flat screen t.v. which is sick and my apartment is pretty much all set the only thing is that i stream netflix onto my t.v. and my laptop is now a little old and laggy so it lags a little which is lame so maybe it will break and force me to buy a new one but we'll see. i made up a graph of my sessions on cardplayer.com but it doesnt allow you to save it as a picture so i cant transfer it on to here the next post i do i might add a graph that i make myself if it turns out looking ok. anyways in a few days ill have a fun post on my newyears and everything to deal with next year and this year and i will also be re-doing my blog design so stay tuned for that cosmonauts.
