how much more shit can you take

so after another sustained period of running like absolute balls i bought hem to see how far i am actually running below ev. it turns out that infact it is not just in my head and i do run incredibly below ev. i am over $1k down in STT ev for the month and over $13.5k overall with a 5% roi discrepancy over about 11k games.

this is a massive amount of cash and roi over such a big sample. i should have made about 50% more than i actually have by these numbers. obviously these numbers are an indication only but there is no doubt they are representative that i actually run bad.

in house now lets make some money

in the new house eventually. due to a fuck up in communication with our new landlord we were homeless for about 4 days last weekend when we moved out of our last place and new place wasn't ready so we went away for the weekend down the coast to my mates bosses holiday home and enjoyed some fishing, drinking and relaxing which was a great result when it looked like we would be hosteling or hotelling it up.

new house secured!

got new pad sorted in Sydney in a shit hot location; minutes walk from the CBD, on the doorstep of darling harbour and minutes from casino so all in all its been worth the wait. trying to find a place has been hard work so not much poker volume but all that will change when i gee my foot in the door at the new place. we will be moving in there in 3 weeks maximum as we need to serve a ridiculous notice at our current address as our landlord is a bit of a cock but if he gets someone to fill our space before then we are out the door.

money saved: not much Smile

3 weeks into month

not much volume wise and have ran pretty horribly at the tables although my stats dont show it. looking for a new place has been time consuming so i haven't had much time for volume. it has set my goals back a few weeks but it will be well worth it when i get better accomodation

new years resolutions

looked at my years results and i am up over $25k for the year when i include FPPs, rakeback, stellar rewards, BOP bonuses and deposit bonuses. this is far better results than i expected to see considering i have been playing part time at best with piss poor volume.

is playing poker a viable career?

having seen a lot of the rollings on the poker staking site i am a member of it got me thinking about the viability of poker as a career.

decent week so far

had 4 days off work so grinded a bit of poker. as usual i failed miserably with the volume playing about 180 9 man SNGs for $1075 profit before rakeback. the amount of games i played i should have done in 2 days but its hard to sit in front of a computer for 6-8 hours when your in Sydney in the sun and so close to the beach.

i feel a lot more comfortable in my financial prediciment and i feel it shows in my results as i dont get as stressed about bad beats, downswings etc which obviously affects your game whether you are conscious of it or not.

lack of volume but some good times

not played much at all lately. done a profit share with my backer this week so cashed out about $900 dollars since we last chopped which is decent for piss poor volume. played about 30 games today and up close to $200 which is also good.

gym wise i have been going about 5 times a week and have seen improvements in my strength and size but have still lost only a kilo. i think this is due to me putting on muscle which weighs more than fat but i would still like to see the weight shifting.
