Long time since last update...

Well, a lot has changed since my last update. I went to "bootcamp" for work, which consisted of me living in a hotel in Connecticut for a month of intense training. The internet was horrible and I couldn't get a signal in my room so I didn't play a single hand of poker for over a month. After bootcamp ended, I spent almost a week in Michigan with my girlfriend for some much needed R&R. Friday I moved into my new apartment in Louisville, KY. I love it so far. The place is really nice and I flipped a coin with my roomate and won the master bedroom/bath. No internet here yet, but I can steal it from a neighbor until Thursday when the cable guy is supposed to come. Can't wait to get the furniture moved in here and buy a new TV. I'm thinking of mounting my smaller LCD tv in my room and buying a really nice 50" for the living room. I have a ton of cash right now because of living in the hotel for a month with zero living expenses. Pretty amazing to just bank your paychecks + bonuses for 6 weeks. On top of that I got my Neteller money finally, so that's an even bigger bonus. I need to start looking into some investments.

As for poker, I played a little while tonight. Made about 100 bucks or so playing pretty straightforward, ABC TAG poker. Had 2 coolers/beats where I lost with AA vs QQ for a 100 pot and AA vs some random junk like 87os all in pre for 40 or so. Pretty happy to still turn a nice profit though. That's all for now. Looking forward to putting some hands in this month after work and on weekends. I had been playing 100nl, but I'm starting out at 50nl for now to get a rhythm back. Since I have plenty of money now, I won't be withdrawing and I can build a bankroll to hopefully move up to 1-2 or so in a few months.

GL at the tables.

June

June was a good month for the number of hands I played. Basically I only played 2 days (wow) but managed to make over 10 buyins. I've been on vacation and just started my first real job. Play time is going to be extremely limited for the next month as I have a month long training session living out of a hotel in Connecticut. Looking forward to making some real money at my job, although I could make way more playing poker if I put in the time. Really want to get a nice 24" monitor or bigger to play once I get settled in my new apartment at the beginning of August.

Hotter than the sun

I am running better than I ever have in my poker career. I think I was due, because of the Sklansky simulations I've done show how far under my expectation I have been over the past 2 years. Well I am drawing much closer to the even line as far as Sklansky bucks go.

I had another great day today. Here are stats and graph.

This brings my stats and totals for the last 10 days up to something like this:

Still 12 tabling 50nl. My FTP roll is well over 3k now. I might just take today's profits and go buy a Wii. I need to call some local stores to see if they have any in stock. I also have around 1200 sitting around on UB that I should probably withdraw.

Last 7 Days at the Tables...

have been awesome.

Got a couple hundred in rakeback this morning. I've been 12-tabling again and I love it. I want to move up to 100nl but I don't know about it because I'd have 1200 of my ~2800 on FTP at the tables just to start the session. So the choice is either start with fewer tables or wait until I build the BR. I think I'm going to continue building my BR for now. I might take out a few hundred bucks to buy a WII soon. I played it at a buddy's place and it was awesome.

Good day at the tables

Stayed up pretty much all night. Played about 7 hours and made just under 10 buyins. I've been playing on my laptop lately. I never liked playing on it very much because it's just one screen. That has completely changed. With the widescreen setup I can play 12 tables very nicely. So I've been doing that the past few days and it is going really well. The top graph is just from last night. Including rakeback that's about 11 buyins. I admit that I ran well and sucked out a few times. There was one really awful stretch that I lost 3 or 4 all in pots in about 15 minutes, but I recovered from that nicely.
This is the weekend graph. Basically I just played last night and one other day. Overall a great weekend.

Stats:
Hands: 8,743
VPIP: 17.5
PFR: 14.0
AF: 3.64
ptBB/100: 7.51
Amount won: $656.85

I had been on about a 5-6 buyin downswing before these good session so it feels really good to make a strong comeback. Not sure about taking shots at 100nl just yet because I really like playing 12 tables, and I don't have the BR on FTP right now for 12 tables of 100nl.

Finals (and links for MrSpeed)

Finals are hitting sooooooo hard this week. 20 page paper was due tuesday with a 20 minutes presentation. 30 minute presentation on wednesday. 15-25 page research paper due thursday. VBA "group" final project due tomorrow which nobody in my group has started yet. I made the mistake of doing all of the projects in the past because I can do them in 1/10th of the time as the rest of the group, so now they just expect me to do it. I'll just do it tonight so I can go out and celebrate being done with school.

Here's a link to the post on 2+2 that I got the program that calculates your all-in equity and results:

The post you should be looking for is from advis0r, but I just linked to that thread for reference if you have trouble setting it up.

April Stats (a little early)

Decent month I guess. Didn't get many hands in, but at least I won about 15 buyins. Rakeback will be another 130 or so. I got this program that analyzes hands to determine how you faired compared to your equity. Over just the last month I have won $195 less than what I should have. Well I'm winning 5.5PTbb/100 anyway playing 8 tables so I guess I shouldn't complain.
