May was a rough month. Car problems and other things led me to withdraw more than I normally do a month, bringing my BR below the 50 buyin at 100NL I like to have. This is the most amount of hands I have put in a month and I plan to increase this. Here are my graphs/summary for May:

-$315.40 total for the month

+$650 Bonus
+$184 Bonus



I'm not sure how helpful the EV line is or if I should just ignore it all together. Right of the bat, I no longer will be playing 200NL, at all. Whenever I play 200NL I do 4 tables but now I will not even be taking a shot for a long time. I can think of tons of mistakes I made throughout the month and I am going to try to improve it. Will spend more time studying than I was before. Here is my EV Graph for the past two months:


That huge gap makes me wanna throw up. Their is nothing I can do about that now and whining won't get me newhere. I am doing a lotta things different off the tables now that I feel are really helping my game. I am reading NL TAP and going over HEM more often through my hands and updating notes on the regulars whom I have many hands against. Also thinking about my game more, in and out of the table.

Non online poker wise, May was a busy month. Graduated from college! Woot that was a big step. Took care of finals and all that and got grades I am more than happy with. Now comes the job search, which I should be putting more effort into but ehh. I went to Vegas (for the first time) with some buddies to celebrate and boy is Vegas nothing like Atlantic City. We had a blast but didn't hit the tables much cuz we were parting or doing other stuffs. Still I was able to win $1400 playing 200NL (the games were really really soft) even getting sucked out a few times, so overall was a great trip

June, planning on putting in a lot of studying time and a moderate amount of playing time as well, something like 70-80 hrs of playing.
