Good Bye May (Month 1/3)

So much has happened since I last wrote. I have been learning so much while playing and reviewing HHs. Having today off has been great. Hope everyone enjoyed their cookouts and memorial weekend. I must say not having to come home from work to take nap to start the grind was definitely a plus. I could just wake up and boom start getting ready for a session. This month has definitely been a learning experience. Grinding is tough but I am really starting to enjoy it and can easily see myself doing this for a living once I am at the right stakes. It’s easy to start enjoying something when you are getting exponentially better. I ended up going above and beyond my goal of 750-900 games. I hit 1100+ not bad for my first month of putting in that much time and still managing to make a small profit. Most of my games were at the 25 cent level but towards the end of the month it was strictly $1s. Hopefully by the end of June I will have a sufficient bankroll to be moving on up the $3 45mans. I managed to make around $230ish which is extremely weak but I am still proud because at the 25 cent level a first place pays a measly $3.52.

Learned how to comfortably use table ninja to help me 12-18table. Poker Tracker I am still not completely confident with it but I still learning how to use it. I also have a lot more I want to say but I am having a rough time formulating my thoughts into words. The only thing that’s been really giving me a rough time is my mental side. Handling bad beats and suck outs is no longer a problem; for that I created a bad beat folder and I just throw the text history in there and just smile and move on. It’s odd but it works for me, I don’t even think about it after it has been copied and pasted. The problem is I want this to work so badly and I am afraid of failure. I know that if you‘re not failing, you’re not trying hard enough and that inactivity always guarantees failure which is why Nick wants us to put in volume. I have no problem with putting in the time and incorporating what is being taught in this program it’s just what if I don’t get the results that are expected? I know I am just psyching myself out and I need to get over this crap but it bothers me. Maybe I will write about it later to get it out of my system. Till next time, Good skill.

I have been told that OPR isn’t accurate because they round numbers but for my purposes they are almost spot on with the difference of a dollar or two. So here it is.



Don't know much about Top Shark but seeing this made me smile.
