I can haz stax? Peas?

Alright so yeah.... My last one of these bombed really quickly. I just basically failed to update it as often as I would have liked, and the stuff I was updating with was relatively boring updates, that hell.. I didn't even care to read about. So this time around I'll try to be a bit more consistent with updates, have more interesting content, and accomplish some poker and life goals along the way.

I'm about to play a short study session (6 table FR) before heading to bed (Getting on a good sleep schedule is one of my goals because going to bed at 6am just isn't good!). I'll spend some time studying this session tomorrow, and try to post up some thoughts/findings/questions tomorrow.

Peace for now.

GL Stax!

I fail at your op, it's getting towards 6am now here lol :s

Win more money but either go to 400nl or 100nl, or maybe 6max. 200nl FR is full I'm afraid.

Ummm, session review fail?

You speak da truf! I can't wait to get away from your setflopping ass!


Okay so I failed at getting around to the session review today.. I put in a bit longer session than I expected as i was actually making money.. Heres my month so far (200nl FR):




Anyways, goals for this operation thread will include:

Short term (1-2 months)
Play >100k hands.
Mix in 400nl FR when tables are "soft"
Lost 15lb or more pounds.
Get BR to $20k+
Get my sleep schedule straight (thinking 11pm-7am, except on Friday and Saturday)
Become more social again (Since playing poker I've somewhat withdrew from a lot of friends)
Actually put forth effort this semester and stop procrastinating.


Long Term (by years end)
Become a 1knl+ reg
Make >$100k
Have gotten into good shape
Prepare to Graduate and start exploring options for after college
Begin traveling more often (Vegas in summer, Europe at some point maybe?)
Become an all around more motivated person


So that's most of the stuff I can come up with. I really need to get my shit together and get on the ball. We will see. I'm gonna put my best effort into accomplishing all of those things, and hope for the best.

The session review was interesting, but it wasn't quite the eye opener I was hoping for. I really feel like I'm on the verge of some sort of breakthrough with my game, and I'm really trying to push through to get there. So hopefully I can get a few hours of coaching from a few very respected players, and this will help me better understand all the spots that I continually question. We will see.

So today in poker I played a 2.6k hands session (I need to start shooting for 3-4k per day). Ended up +$1.3k, which was nice. Feels good to be back winning regularly after my month BE stretch. This brings my month to a nice $4.7k after 20k hands of 200nl FR.

[x] run good much

Classes start back next Thursday, and damn I'm not looking forward to it this time. My schedule pretty much sucks donkey balls. Luckily, tomorrow is the purge date where anyone who has not confirmed payment is dropped from the system. Generally, this is the absolute best time to rearrange your classes, and I'll be spending some time trying to do this tomorrow. I really HATE going to school Mon-Fri. Gonna try to get back to just a Mon-Wed-Friday schedule, so we will see.

Peace for now.

Remember when you were playing like 5nl or some shit and came into IRC for the first time and we talked in PMs for like 2 hours and I was like "Yeah if you work your ass off you'll pay off those loans by the end of next year" and you were like "Yeah whatever"?

XTR: And regarding the avatar, I am stumped.. I have like 4 that I'm torn between. May have to let you guys pick.


Jimmy44: Thanks alot.


I just realized after last nights session I broke $20k total (tracked) profit from poker. This is spanning from ~June 08 at 10nl till now.

spoon is a star, reckon you should be buying the beer if you guys end up wsop-ing sometime!!!
nice work, good to see study, effort, and innate talent being well rewarded.

Thanks for the kind words guys. And yeah, spoon knows the beers will be on me.

I played a small session today.. +200ish.. Was +$400, but for some reason I felt like one of the regs was playing back and I made some retarded as play. BOOOM, your welcome for my monie. Anyways, instead of playing another session I browsed the fuck out of justin.tv getting swiggidy birfday signs.. Good times. Happy B-day Swiggster.

Check my new sig. As in, ZOMFG that was soooooooooo funny. Please don't delete or I'll have to photoshop it myself.
