2011 First 1/4th of year

i'll attempt to keep this semi brief with a bunch of graphs. my overall goal for 2011 is to profit $25k from poker and attempt the same thing next year with more profit, if i don't make my goal then i may get a 'real' job and play poker on the side. Sad

So far this year has not really gone how i wanted it to and its all my fault. I am not putting in the time and dedication that i would like to. I'm not sure if i can fix that at all or not so we'll see what happens.

I'm shooting for supernova again this year and am currently at 21,700 vpps so slightly behind pace.

2011 Week 6

cashed in quarterly $1,000,000 freeroll for $450, lost money overall in everything else, tiny profit on week. still slacking on putting in time.

hopefully bigger update next time.

week 6 VPP's: 1,803.78
Total Vpp's: 10,810.79
Profit?: yes

2011 Week 5

went to the casino again this week. got aces all in pre against queens (similar to previous week when i got aces in verse kings, i got one outed then.) another player says he folded KQ, so i need to dodge one out, he flops a Queen. so i'm 0 for 2 on holding when i get it in pre and trying to dodge one out.

i really have been slacking on playing time and vpps the last two weeks, i did manage to make a profit though which is nice.

I don't believe that i got any more goals but i did add a few more to the list.

2011 Week 4

Didn't put that much volume in this week as far as VPP's went.

managed to get 3rd of 2,785 people in the $2.20 R for $1400, so that made my week.

still not sure what to play for the year. will be playing more tournaments though.

50PLO CAP

Week 4 VPP's: 1,679.56
Total VPP's: 7,754.85
Profit?: YES

2011 Week 3

Been messing with the CAP games this week. NL holdem and PLO.

Went to the casino yesterday with my brother to play some $1/$2. we just decided we were going to stay for 10-15 more mins when utg opens to $7, i look down at Aces and raise it up to $26, folds around to the old guy who opened and he made it $50 on top, i shove and he thinks for about 90 seconds before calling the additional $150. he shows Kings and then my brother comes over to me and lets me know he folded a king. flop came Q94, he catches runner runner str8, gg $451 pot.

2011 Week 2

Overall, not a good week.

Just seemed to run bad in the right spots in the sngs.

Tested out the CAP games, not sure what i think of them, besides the fact that they rack up VPP's like a mother fucker. if i was good at them and there were constantly at least 24 tables open it would be the easiest thing in the world to make SNE, there are not 24 tables open, i couldn't profitably play 24, not sure if i can profit now playing 6, i probably can't since i suck at cash games but who knows.

2011 Week 1

I'm going to try and update about every week this year or so. Last year i started off with 33k vpps and 3k profit in January, this year is not going to be anything like that.

My goal is to make Supernova and make some money. I haven't really played 45 persons in forever and am testing them out this year. I also want to really get into tournaments but who knows how that will go.

best place in a tournament this week was 12th in the $1 turbo rebuys out of 2,606 players.

Supernova

feels good to have that out of the way, few days break and it starts all over again

668 VPPs til Supernova

so yesterday i definitely played some shit that i should have, then i just tilted pretty bad in my session now.

$90 BR, was close to $400 3 days ago.

i just can't wait to get supernova then re acess my plans for 2011.

Half VPPs done for the month

2,904.69 down

2,729.27 to go til Supernova

added $200 to my roll the other day from the checking account, about all i can add for now, so need to play/run good to keep a small br and grind out VPPs

basically been mixing it up with 10nl 6 max and playing a few tables of $20.80 DONs, (don's not great br management, pretty bad actually) anyway....

graphs from today and a few hands.

this is 11 $20.80 dons
