Call it a week

I know I said I was going to post here everyday blah blah. Well I am lazy alright deal with it. We are pretty much done my work week. I ended up making about $650 dollars which turns out to be about $20 dollars per hour with bonus and all that jazz. I will take it... beats the heck out of my last job. Also shortly we are going to be moving up level at which point I should be able to make around $1k a week. I am almost starting to believe I can do this... I am sure there are going to be some days coming up where I am going to want to die but so far so good. As you can see I did have some bad hands in there. At hand 2000 I had basically made $20 dollars for 8 hours work. I dunno the games seem so soft I don't understand how I could possibly lose, but I have been through this before when you are winning it seems like you have been winning for all your life, when you are losing you have never won anything in your life.

Kyle, CJ and I have been doing a dinner cooking deal, we all buy the food for dinner for three days and then I cook it. I don't think that this is going to go over well but I have a feeling the CJ and Kyle are going to be responsible for keeping the kitchen clean. I don't think it is that unreasonable. If I do all the cooking they should be able to do some cleaning. Anywho it has really helped the bank account as we are not ordering out, also I think it is going to help the waistline as we are basically eating chicken breast and a vegetable every night.

Other than that life is good. Going to have a bunch of friends over to play Asshole tomorrow night and then Sunday is poker. That will basically call it a weekend.... Lets hope next week goes just a well.

What a night

Tonight was one of those nights when you really just never feel like you are playing well. I put in a two hour session and made about $142 dollars with another 20 in bonus, not to shabby for 7 hours worth of work. So far I am making about $25 dollars per hour, shortly though I should be able to move up and then it will be time to make some money.

Alright so here is the graph, it was kind of a swingy day. I am going to try not to make so many stupid calls today...

First real day

Alright so I put my first real day of poker in and it went really well. I won about $150 dollars even though I made to ridiculous calls.

This turn sucked, he was a donkey but there isn't anything I can beat, I was hoping to hit a club on the river but alas...

So basically I made about $153 dollars and another $40 in bonus. Not to shabby... I think I am going to make posts every day or at least shoot for it. I think it helps keep things me in line.

Run bad with KK

Alright so I played some on Easter after dinner was done. I ran really well except with KK, I had KK twice and ran into AA allin preflop both times. I had a feeling I was behind both times but I hit the call button anyway. Either way I would have ended up getting stacked because the flop wouldn't have brought and A and I would have gotten it allin anyway.

Really the only hands I lost with was KK, so I ended up making a paltry $15 hour hour. I don't think I am going to get in many hands tonight, and then tomorrow I am going to head back home at some point. I can't wait to get back to Boston, it really has become my home. Also I have started signing in to my AIM, so if you want to talk poker IM lebowski3225.







Alright well I guess I am going to go and make a ham and cheese omlete. Hope you guys had a Happy Easter.

Easter and hands

So Easter is upon us. I am heading out to Vermont here in a few hours. Played a few hands last night so I thought I would update. I only played 350 hands in about 2 hours. I did however get AA twice and won decent pots in both of them, then I had a KK hand that is questionable.


This hand which I had previously forgot about. That three on the turn was a safe card right?

So far so good. I ended up $83ish on the day. So far for the month I am up about $300 with 11 hours of play. $25 an hour isn't so bad. :) Also I am about 100 Full Tilt Points from a custom hockey jersey. So I should have that finished while I am in Vermont and cash out. Then I am moving my money around, I should get a $600 dollar bonus which will be pretty sweet. It will take some time to clear of course but by that time I should be ready for $100 NL.





HAPPY EASTER!!!!

Running great

I am running like a god, you will see the graph below and it will show you that I am dominating, I am going up to Vermont so I don't think I am going to play many hands next week, it is kind of annoying that I am running so good and I have to go to Vermont. I am going to be taking my dad out to dinner and hanging out with my mom. I love her to death but it is just such a damn hassle.

Anywho I haven't been up there since Christmas, so I am going to go and do that. Poker is going so well I don't really have a lot of things to bitch about.

Here is the graph.



So yeah, I think tonight I am cashing out and heading up to Vermont, and then redepositing when I get back to Boston. Hopefully with a huge bonus, and some rakeback.
