ill start with poker. anyone who read my last post knows that i was going through some variance and i was only up 2.5 buyins for the month (25$) well the poker gods must not have been very pleased with me because i ended up being down for the month making july my first losing month in almost 2 years. the total loss was -25$ haha thanks to rake back. heres the graph
i think my holdem manager was off a little bit and didnt record all my hands but it was close enough. the most horrible thing about last month was that i only played 22k hands in 24 hours..... yeah over that whole month if i would of had the time i could have gone through that in 4-5 days but thanks to my work schedule i literally play 5-8 hours a week.. fun. its no biggie though cause in june i was running at like 12 or 13bb/100 hands so the average between this month and last month is 5bb/100 hands
this month was still frustrating, i felt like i was playing mediocre for most of the month but still felt like i was playing well enough to beat the games. i did run bad for a bit but some of it didnt have to go as bad as it did. i think my biggest leak this month was calling down too light. there were more than a few spots where if i would have taken the time i could have easily found a fold but called despite it. i feel like me playing 12 tables had a little to do with it so for this month im only going to play between 8-10 tables.
something i did notice was that i was starting to take advantage of certain player types more. depending on if they were a fish, lag, tag, nit, abc or whatever it seemed like i would go about the situation differently in trying to exploit the player more rather than just playing a set style. even though this last month felt horrible i dont think it was all so bad because it was only 22k hands it was just spread over such a long period. im going to try and work on not calling down so light and maybe tweak a couple small things to my game but im going to keep things pretty much the same and if this month goes bad again than ill have to set out time to go over my database and find my leaks.
well this last 10 days for daygame was really slow as well. i havent done an approach in august yet for a couple of reasons. this last weeknd i decided to just take it easy. me and the girl ive been seeing decided to drive about 40 miles out of town to this hotel and just get away for the weeknd but we got there and the place was booked. so we came back got dinner and a movie and then stayed at my place. last month the results were ok in certain aspects i did 22 approaches and i got 2 numbers. i didnt go on any dates and havent slept with anyone new other than the girl ive been seeing. partly due out of respect for her since its more than just a friends with benefits thing. over all july was ok for daygame just put in a little more time and got a little more experience from it. im going to be switching a couple small things this month and see how they work out.
so far this summer things have went pretty smooth i thought and im suprised at how some things have turned out. we'll start with poker. well in may i was playing on lock poker and then they dropped out of merge and my holdem manager stopped working and i lost all my data so that month kinda sucked especially since i ended up exactly break even. june was good cause i made 32 buyins in like 25k hands and was running well and playing well. july sucked because of what i had already stated. overall i like how things have gone and i feel like the next 3 months i will do well.
pickup is a little interesting on the other hand. so i met the girl ive been seeing right about a week after i got here. it was actually within my first 10 approaches of being back in AK. if not for that i might not have had a girl in my life for the summer. i went over my numbers and ive only done 60 approaches and got 10 numbers since starting this summer. i felt like i did way more but i guess not. theres a good and bad to those results. the good thing is that my numbers ratio has got better since i was in washington i was only getting about 10% numbers. now im almost getting 20% numbers. im still getting the same lay % which is 10% of numbers i get i end up dating or sleeping with (it really is a numbers game)
so originally i had been wanting to go to miami for the winter. i was pretty set on it and i was going to have a friend come along as well. well this last week i was thinking of a different place and my direction instantly changed. to throw it out there, the new destination is L.A. the idea just popped in my head last week and i thought and thought about it and then did some research on everything i wanted to know about the place and everything just made me want to go there even more than miami. the main reason is the commerce casino. if anyone played at the commerce they know what im talking about but the commerce has got THE BEST action in a single casino for poker. they have 160 tables of cash games going and on average 7- 10 5/10nl games going. its around the clock action and everyone that i played with this winter that played there said that i would make a lot of money.
to basically sum up the whole post its me whining that i work too much (72-84 hours a week) and im not able to do the fun things i want :( the rest of the summer should go about the same as it has been going so far. just trying to practice daygame and poker enough to keep my mind fresh untill i move to LA for the winter and start killing poker and daygame. i have huge expectations and goals this winter and i think ill be able to accomplish a lot of things i really cant wait. im sure i wanted to post more but im losing my thoughts so ill have to save it till next post, plus this one is long enough. so untill next time cosmonauts, stay tuned :)
