August so far




A little 5/10 in there which im down about $1k on, so im up around $2.7k on 2/4

another tough start to the month, in profit though at least

profit : $1 720
bonuses: $2 099

total : $3 819

Seems like im going through a bit of a bad patch but it was mainly june which stung me, i had a nice little earner towards the end of it and July, plus im still winning at 4bb this month at 2/4, although i usually win at a higher rate, then theres the 1k hit at 5/10

ill try and keep this more up to date in future

A lot more hands to play this month, im also on a new name this month as well so thats why its blacked out on the graph, not sure everyone knows it yet

update of an update

MAY:



As show in the graph +$12 687 on the tables, + $1000 in the rake race + $3 965 rakeback

TOTAL: +$17 652

An enjoyable and easy month where i quit playing for the month early


JUNE/JULY

I had to combine these two months because the races overlapped between months and so it makes it easier to make a record of.

I actually really relied on the races for the first time in a long time as i had a mega break even stretch which was horrible as shown below..the massive upswing was in july and the horribleness of june was horrible!




+$603 tables
+$6552 bonuses
+$6400 race

TOTAL: +$13 555

SO now overall for the year:


2009: +$77 401 (£46 953)

Not bad but nowhere near where i wanted at the half way point of the year, like i said earlier on course for another +£100k year, so life isnt so bad!

August info to follow...

I should update more but i havent lately

May ended how it stands there

June i was down £3 063 (i keep my records in £)

July I won £7 582

This month ive jsut started and am playing everyday, i was about $1.6k up on the day but a long month ahead!

a more in depth update with proof of what i said above will follow, but this year is just not what i thought, everything i make im pretty much spending and hardly saving anything

i just got a new place in town (rented) finally finally moved out of the skyline not that its bad there, its pretty amazing but i was close to moving a few times previous so i felt like an idiot saying im moving again, but i am! monday and its all definitely done this time, moving to the great northern tower fwiw, amazing place there

so thats eaten up quite a bit of money plus general ridiculous spending and bills etc.. its just why i cant move up the stakes, im a bankroll nit as it is but you wouldnt believe just how much i spend, plus i havent played enough this year, my work ethic is nowhere near where my ambition is but im not doing the old i should work harder line cos this game does fuck you up mentally, a lot, i find it a little hard to take sometimes and i cant seem to keep a level head a lot, i do look forward to playing now but it needs to be structured and within a routine otherwise i cant focus, like i cant start playing on the 29th july, i have to wait til the 1st august cos otherwise its just weird.

anyway im about $66k (£40k) up or something to that effect up this year from poker and i have hardly played compared to last year, i wanted so much more, but thats a great amount, in this blog i just repeat myself really, a lot, im on course for another £100k year anyway which is brilliant

my plan is just to play every single day when i can, i cant even sit around these days and watch telly, i can, but i dont like it, unless its after a long session, ive literally forgotten how to relax, no matter where i am i cant relax

poker will make me miserable sometimes but without it id be completely miserable, i want to play so that the freedom i have never goes away

im gonna read back on this in like 5 years and think what a complete tit, the thing is im still so young (22) and i know so little, and im trying to learn about the world and gain life experience but its really hard when you play online poker for a living, im trying to learn it all on my own, well i guess thats how everyone else learns except i have a blog called the goatian 2009 to tell everyone about it

i will screenshot june and july, but every other month since i started is accounted for here, june i played a few k hands and lost a load, think i took a shot at 5/10, lost £3k and quit for the month

July i worked a little harder and had a tough month but pulled through in the end and came out with that £7 500 profit i mentioned at the start

i am playing again, i just stopped blogging and like going to the gym you can go go go but if u miss one you miss them for ages, i dont go gym btw, but i play 5 a side football loads, i think its the best thing i ever did when i started a few momths ago, nothing i enjoy more than playing football!

i played some live poker as well the other week which was fun, i should do that more, i played absolutely crazy but i still knew what i was doing and managed to run incredibly well until i had a hand where i didnt realise somebody else was in the hand and shoved all in vs my mate and this guy pops up "hello i have a hand too and it beats yours" so that sucked but i was up loads anyway and he only had £400, pointless story

ill blog again in a few days
