Been the best month of my year by far. Ill try to recap it best I can.
First, starting with RL shit, i went to see Tom petty last Saturday. Concerts never really appealed to me, and tbh this is the first real concert I have been too. It was soooooooo much fun and i regret turning down concert invites in the past from friends. Tom Petty has always been one of my fav bands and Im glad I got to see them, because they're getting pretty old and prob wont be doing this much longer. They were amazing.
Besides that, nothing really too exciting, just the same old stuff mostly. Had a few all day in the sun and pool drinking days, which are the best imo, but yea nothing too exciting.
About 2 weeks ago, I ended up going over a poker buddys house (eljay42 on stars) to grind. He lives like 30 minutes away from me and we have been tryin to meet up for a while, and it finally happened. Jcar9271 was also there, who is a 18 man grinder from Australia, but is in the USA for the summer just traveling city to city, which is awesome. It was the first time i ever grinded with other poker people in the same room before, and it was a interesting, and fun experience. Playing with other people in the same house really motivates you to play more, and its awesome to actually get to talk to people about poker while your playing, and have people share your beats and your suckouts etc. It also makes you play better I think. Eljay and Jcar were both really really cool people, and similar to myself. Laid back, sarcastic, etc. TBH i have this mentality that every online poker player I am going to meet is going to be very awkward and socially inexperienced, but all 3 that I have met so far (including Gonewiththedogs from a month ago) have been really really cool, and I think its very judgemental of me to think that way and I should probably stop that. But yea, was a awesome time, I ran bad as hell but eljay ended up making a somewhat deep run in the milly, and Jcar shipped the 5.50 rubix for 7k, and i had swap with them for 5% for any 4 digit score, so the extra 400$ reduced the variance a bit. Jcar will be back in town soon and we are planning on doing it again this upcoming Sunday, so should be fun again.
As far as poker goes, to start July i was playing / running soooooooooooo bad. I was down about 5k. I really reflected on my game though, and made some changes. SNG wise i really cut down the # of tables I am playing. I am used to 20-40 tabling, and it just has not been working for me. so i started to 6-10 table and I have seen waaaaaaaay better results. I feel I am finally playing great, and i expect this too continue. Here are my stats since i decided to switch it up
Frenzuh Click for details 220 $11 $18 64% $2,372
As far as MTTS go, i was down almost 4k in them earlier, but just one bink and your right in the black, and thats what I did. I ended up shipping the 27.50 turbo a few days ago for almost 5k, and i am ending the month up about 750$ in MTTS. I am not going to play anymore MTTS till August 1st over eljays.
But yea, poker has been a decent month, I am not up a ton per say, but I know what I am doing is going to increase my profit / results, and I am looking forward to seeing how much money there is to be made 6-10 tabling. After i get a decent sample, i will switch it to 12-16 tabling till I have a decent sample in that, and determine which is better for me for my optimal hourly.
Also grats to Msusyr24 for winning the first half of our prop bet. 2k is a lot of money to me, and it went right to him. He seems like hes super motivated going into the last stretch for this year, so i need to step up if i want any chance of winning, or at least doing damage control and winning the 2nd half. Worse comes to worse ill buy out at the end of september, but i really need to step it up.
But yea, thats it for now,
Nick
