low volume, low results. august review

well everyone based off the title of the blog you can safely assume how the month went for me but here are the details.

in the life category things seemed to go pretty smoothly. at the beginning of august i was a little annoyed with how july went so i just decided to take a break from things for about a week. the rest of the month was fine but the things that mainly stood out are that i was getting really antsy waiting for the month to get done with just so that it could be september already and i would be that much closer to moving to L.A. also the state fair was going on the last 10 days so i planned to go to that which was fun other than that life was pretty much the same work, poker, daygame. (although there wasnt much of the last 2)

poker was interesting this month for what i did play. with me taking the first week off from grinding anything other than work i wasnt able to put in the number of hands i was usually capable of, but i was able to put in a whopping 12.5k hands woot. the best part about it was that my last 2 hour session i lost 4 buyins  which was my biggest losing session this month and ruined my profit. according to hem i only made 2 buyins but im up 45$ this month (4.5 buyins)
i know i made a 5$ bonus so i might have been able to make 20$ in rakeback or maybe hem was off a little bit. anyway before my last session i was winning at like 5bb/100 i know it was only over 12.5k hands but it was nice to have a decent winrate compared to last month.

this month i found myself working on cold calling mainly preflop and working on playing specific player types. although my results were'nt the greatest i feel like i played really well and took in a lot of information that i havent necessarily always payed attention to. im most likely going to do the same this month and hopefully be able to put in about 25k hands and maybe make 100$. also i have been searching the details on how the commerce casino is and everything that goes along with it and i found out that a 5/10nl and 10/20nl pro by the name of bart hanson plays those games regularly and after looking him up i found out he does a podcast for deuces cracked about live play in those specific games.
its cool though cause deuces cracked is the site i use to study at and since hes playing in 5/10 it will give me a really good insight into the games while im there. i have some free time today so i listend to a couple podcasts and i think that i will be able to learn and take advantage of a lot of things from the podcast that will help my game a lot so im looking foreward to that.

daygame was pretty much the same as poker. very little volume and very little results. i did 5 approaches last month and that was all the results i did. it was a slack month all around but in my defense its not like i pussied out and didnt approach girls. its that i didnt come in contact with many situations to approach any girls. this month is already going better though and ive done 5 approaches and already got 1 number so hopefully i can put in a bit of volume with that as well.

since im a little more frequent with the girl ive been seeing that i picked up when i first got here i figured it would be pretty disrespectful to go with another girl. i dont find it wrong to socialize so thats what im trying to do when i approach. im just trying to practice my daygame and any number i do get i will practice my phone game since i need to work on that as well but i wont pursue the girl after that. for some reason though if i can set it up maybe after i hook the girl i can push her onto one of my friends and maybe share the wealth haha. anyways those are the goals for pickup for pretty much the next couple of months.

all in all though things went alright in august. a lot better than july. im really looking forward to this month and just put in as much volume as i can with the things i want and just get september done with so i can be into october and then onward to cali. pretty excited so i cant wait. but untill next time cosmonauts, stay tuned :)
