Jan 1

Had a pretty good day on Jan. 1. Made $114 mostly pwning the $15 +$1 9-man STT. Also played quite a few $15 + $1.50 sats to some donkament MTT called the "Nightly $70 Grand". Even thought the Tournament fee is .50 higher (I have no idea why that is) than the regular $15 SNG, I still like to play them because it seems like there are a lot of higher buy in fish swimming around trying to get into the $55 MTT for $16.50. Aso, played quite a few $11 Hu's and one $22. On my way to my first $1000 sharkscope month.

Good start to 2009!!!

2008 is history

Had a frantic last couple of days in December. In the very first month that I ever made Silver Star, I made Gold Star too. Had to grind hard the last 2 days to get it, but got in there with 4003 points. Was 9 tabling .25/.50 on the last 2 days of the month to get there. It was actually a very good experience I think. I struggle with cash games, so having 9 games rolling forced me to play ridiculously tight...nut peddling essentially. Jammed aces pre when I was raised a few times, and got called once for a $50 score. Anyway, gonna try to see whaat freebies I can get from the Gold Star status...I see some freerolls MTT's.

Been crushing the $15 +$1 and the $25 + $2 9 man STT's. My sharkscope is reflecting my pwnage. Need to figure out how to cut and paste that and put it in here.

Final total poker profit for 2008 $3356.
Final 2008 sharkscope $2289

Made around $1000 in MTT's for the year. (Played like 5-10 in all)
Probably was breakeven or very slightly neg in ring games. (Played very little)

Been thinking alot about goals.

I want to have a $1000 Sharkscope month soon. January would be nice, and I think
it is well within reach.

In fact I'm already up $90 for Jan.

Happy New Year!!!!!

Ouch

Played the most ever in one day on Christmas day. Took a pretty big hit...about $600 or so. Lost 3 Step 3 tickets too. Played a ton of $55 + $5, $35 +$3 and $25 + $2 9 mans. Results were poor, but I can't say I played all that bad....(except for the last 10 games or so, when I was so tired I might have played bad then.) Did earn over 1000 FPP's in one day, and might even make Gold Star this month...I really want to and I need just under 1000 more in the last 5 days. One other bright spot...My HU reulsts have been really good the last few days.

I'm gonna grind some $15 and some $6 9-mans to rebuild my confidence and bankroll, and then take some more shots at $27.

Total profit for 2008 $3009.

2009

Gotta figure out a way to make more money at poker. I feel like I may be ready to play for higher stakes, and I have nearly $4 grand of bankroll that I won, but nevertheless I feel hesitant to play even the $27 - 9 mans. I hate those swings that caused me to lose something like 16 straight $15 9 man STT's. Ouch.... But, I need to get over it...I want to make at least $3,000 per month by the end of the year, but I dont think thats realistic right away. So, maybe $1K per month is a good goal, but even that is tough to arrive at when I crunch numbers....unless I really move up my average stake. At 5% ROI you would need to play like $700 worth of tourneys a day to make $35/day on average. This would get you over $1000 a month. $700 would require approx 47 $15's, 26 $27's, 20 $35's, 14 $50's....Just writing this makes me realize that I need more discipline when I play. Playing the $6 HU games because they are comfortable, slowing up when I'm ahead for the day, getting sucked into playing low limit games to "get even" or whatever. I need to be more business like in my approach.
