Grinding

Been playing more games in August than I did last month. Theres only so much sun you can get I suppose :-)

Not having a great month, but not awful either. Been spending most of my time
sitting the 25/33 on Cake. Theres a couple of higher stakes guys that love to sit me when they see me, so I've been hesitant to sit the $55 too much. Just been content to play my $30 avg stake and grind out my daily bread. Hopefully will
get up into the $1200 profit range by months end.

August profit $792.91

Lazy summer daze...

In July, I went to the beach alot, partied alot, worked out alot, hung out alot, but didn't play poker alot. Summer time is too much fun to be cooped up indoors sitting on the computer imo. Thats one of the things I love about NOT being a professional poker player. I have money coming in from about 6 different places, so I can play
poker if I want to, or I can go out on my boat if I want to.

So...I did play some poker nonetheless, and I did OK. Average buyin was in the mid $20s and I made a grand total of $712.59. Def didnt grind very hard for that, so I'll take it.

Been putting in some real solid volume this first week of August so far, so we'll see if that trend continues.

Final July Profit $712.59

Aug MTD profit $221.54

June = bad month

Worst month in a lonnnnng time. Variance bit me like I cannot remember ever before. So bad that all my profit was from RB/bonus/promos. $0 from actual poker. :-(

Wingpin 527 -$0.05 $27 0% -$24 N/A N/A Global Alias 6/1/2010 6/30/2010 SNG


Oh well....I suppose I should be grateful to still make over $600 despite
making nothing on scope. I haven't felt like posting because I've been running
so bad. I do think that this is a good test for me and will actually help me in the long run. At least I maintained my sanity and never had a massive meltdown thereby
preserving at least a small profit for the month.

Anyways...I'll try to write more in July.

Final June Profit $610.69

May's Done

May was a big month for me as I began playing quite a few $55s on the regular for the first time ever. I still mixed in some $33s on Stars and some $25s on Cake, and late in the month, Cake added a $33 hu also. As it turned out, I really played more $33s than anything, but I did play more $55s than ever before, so that's progress.

Heres how things shaped up:

Wingpin 438 $1.72 $32 7% $755 N/A N/A Global Alias 5/1/2010 5/31/2010 SNG Only wingmanmtp (CK)wingpin (PS)

Out of 438 games played, I played a grand total of 70 at $50+ including 4 games at $100+. Of the remaining 368 games, 349 were at $20+. I'm very happy with the fact
that my average buyin for the entire month was $32. This means that most of my games are $33+ which is exactly what I want. I love the fact that Cake finally added
a $33 husng, and you will definitely be seeing me in that alot.

I made a ton of money in bonuses this month. Cleaned up like never before with over $300 on Stars, and even more on Cake, plus Rakeback. Its amazing how much money
you start making from these areas as you climb up the poker ladder. This month, I made a total of $1590.50, and about 1/2 of that was from bonuses and RB!

I just finished a long grind session, and for the first time in like a week, I didn't breakeven...feels good to make a little cash after several sideways days.

Very sleepy atm, so I'm gonna crash and get ready for another big day tomorrow.


Total Profit $1,668.50
Less 6 month Sharkscope sub -$78.00

Final May Profit $1,590.50

$55s...pretty big step for me

For the last few days I've been playing mostly $55s with a few $33s when I'm on Stars and a few $25s when I'm on Cake. Although, I'm getting a ridic good RB + Bonus deal with Cake, I usually play late at night, and the traffic on Cake is dismal at that time.....so I've been putting in quite a few games on Stars. The only good thing about that is, the games fill really quick.

I'm about breakeven with the $55s in a small sample. So far, my observations are as follows:

-Again...My sample size is still small, but most of the players arent that good

-The $$$ amount doesnt affect my willingness to shove, bluff, etc at all...In fact, I usually forget what amount I'm playing for in the heat of the battle.

-It's really hard to tilt me...really hard.

-The avg player on stars $55s is better than the average player in Cake $55s.


So..bottom line, I'm pretty confident I have an edge here in this level, but time will tell for sure. I'm pretty excited about the new challenge!

May MTD profit $1,022

Mid-month

Went to South America for a week, and barely played while I was there...maybe 15 games in a week. Nevertheless...I'm already up over $1,000 on the month due to an incredible hot streak. I'm playing awesome, but obv I'm running good also.

Heres my May MTD scope from Cake

WingmanMtP 86 $7.45 $28 24% $641 WWLWWWWW N/A Cake 5/1/2010 5/31/2010 SNG Only

I'm playing mostly $25's but also some $55's mixed in. I even sat a $110 the other day.

I have been playing some games on Stars also, but since I have $1,075 bonus pending on Cake now, its hard to pass that up.

Bout to go see my buddies band play, so I'm out, but
I will post something more substantive soon.

May profit $1,011.39

Nice April

Didnt beat myself up with tons of games and so little stress its
a joke, and I made $1,407. Very pleased with it, but really need to
start playing higher I guess....its funny cause I always say this,
but now I think I really, really, really, mean it. Hahaha

Anyway, here is my Global Alias for the month:

Wingpin 367 $3.86 $22 16% $1,416 N/A N/A Global Alias 4/1/2010 4/30/2010 SNG Only

16% and almost $4/game at $22 buyin is kinda sick. Obv I am opting
for easy/non-stressful albeit less money versus playing up and making more
and possiby dealing with more ups and downs.

Will post more thoughts on moving up in stakes soon....

Final April Profit $1,407


Peace and GL All
