The Real Deal - Whatever it Takes

So May was an interesting month for me. I finally got a job that I'll be starting in about a week. I am moving back to my hometown for the summer where hopefully I can get some solid poker coaching from some friends there. I started the month at 5NL, made my way to 10NL, dropped back to 5NL, tilted, played some heads-up, soul-owned a reg, moved back to 10NL and went on a heater. I'm solidly playing 10NL 6max as of now, only 4 tabling, and my winrate has been quite good.

I had a friend tranfer me 1.11 on PS so I could enter a 1.40 BI tournament that I FTd and turned into 5.75. I then took that 5.75 and played a 5.40 20K tournament and was 9/467 people at one point. I was feeling good and out of 5876 entrants I was pretty happy. I was hoping to FT that one as well but ended up busting in 213th or so. I can tell I need way more endurance to ship a big tournament but it was exciting and fun nonetheless.

I won't be playing any poker at all until my final projects are done so I wish everyone some run-good and I'll see you on the other side of school!

^awesome track. Especially the drop at 4:15!

Almost done with school! I'm so excited to get the hell out of here and start working.

Poker-wise this month has been awesome. Aside from my success no.2intheworld (aka Max) shipped big monies. I'm quite happy with where my game is at right now. I'm bluffing quite a bit, but not in stupid spots and it shows in my up and down but B/E redline. So far I am 6.8BB/100 running 6 tables of 6max over 3,500 hands in June. I hope to hit a solid 35-45K hands this month and will get silver in IronMan for an additional 75 dollar bonus. If I can keep up the good play and put in the volume I should be up to 25NL by the end of the month or very beginning of next which is quite exciting! Also on PokerStars, I turned a 1.11 transfer into over 60 dollars in 2 days by playing some tournaments so I am looking to keep that run up. I'll be playing the Sunday 1/4 mill and probably the next gauntlet event as well tomorrow.

I move on Monday or Tuesday and after that it's Grind on the Mind all the time! GL to everyone in June, ship it!

Kinda a random change in the music this time but I just discovered this band recently and this song/music video is pretty cool.
YouTube - Eureka Machines - Everyone Loves You music video

Oh and today's grind music was Protest the Hero so here is one of my favorite songs by them.

It's been a while since I've heard that Kyau & Albert track! Really, really good. Reminds me how good Armin van Buuren's A State Of Trance 200 (tracklisting) megamix was too.

Good luck with the move and keep making the monies.
