March

March was ok for me. The first 36k hands well hell lol. It got a lot better after that. Plus the $800 or so vpp value that's a total of about $3500. Tried to get it to get as close to 4k as possible and the end of the month didn't go too well.

I'm starting the prop bet with Eli today. No life ftw!!

If I can run only 2BB for the month and get the expected 200k hands this month this should be my best month ever as far as total money made is concerned. Hopefully I can crack 6k this month with vpp.

March 25

Another good day. I played ok today and it's always good to have good result when you're just playing ok. I missed out on a lot of value in quite a few hands and I need to start thinking about my value betting strategy. I'm playing 24 tables once again and it has worked out well for me so far. I haven't been playing too nitty, which is what I worried about the most. Hopefully the run will continue.

I was just talking to Eli about our prop bet. I played 9k hands today for almost 8 hours. I feel like I can go for another 3k hands easily. Well, it's easier to play a lot when you run good and the result is good. What I worry about is how I'll handle the pressure when I'm running bad.

We'll see what happens next month.

First 10k hands day in a long time and a prop bet with an idiot

First time in a long time. Good result too. I'll take a day like this 5 times a week then I'll be all set!

I got a prop bet with Eli next month. He's gonna spot me 35k hands and I'm getting 2 to 1 on who will play the most hands next month. I guess I'll be looking forward to a whole month of not having a life. Not that I have much of that in the first place.

Wish me luck. I need it. That fucker can really grind.

KL

Just got home from spending a couple of days in KL. It's fun to see you guys again and I'll try to make this a monthly thing. Thank god I didn't lose the credit card roulette this time. Sucks to be you Josh lol.

Wish the weather was nicer for golf. I miss playing golf but with the weather being as hot as it's been lately, it's just tough to get out there. Well, it's gonna be hot here most of the time so I guess I can kiss this game good bye.

Since the last update

Played a bunch of sessions after the last update. Could run better but whatever, it'd be too easy if I run good. Things are never easy.

I'm playing a lot so far this month, relatively speaking. I have played 65k hands so far at 2.68BB/100. If I can somehow get to 100k hands at 3BB I'll be really happy. I should be on pace for more than 100k hands so we'll see what I'll end up making this month. I wish I can play more than 16 tables and get in more hands to get the vpp up. I tend to play like a robot when I play more tables though so I guess I'll just stick to no more than 16 to work on my post flop game a little. I'm not as smart as most of you out there and it takes time for me to make decisions and playing 20+ is definitely not doing me any good for my game.

I'm so glad all my friends got out now. I'll be up there soon enough to hear the stories.

I'd like to post some hands but too lazy. Maybe next post after I finish my review for this session.

I'm so sorry guys.....

I know you're not reading this now. I feel really bad and I'm really sorry there's not much I can do for you. I'll try to get up there as soon as I can.

I'm so sorry guys. I'm a luck box and I know it.

Friday the 13th.

Not a bad day. It's a grind but I'm not gonna complain about the result. I'll take a day like this every time and I'd be happy.

Here's a funny hand:
The idiot is a 70/8. What's funny is after the hand is over. Look at the chat.

Another one. Don't ask me what I was thinking in this hand. I had no idea. I still have no idea. I was trying to squeeze and take down the pot preflop. After the dumbass called, he's 82/13 by the way, I just thought there's a chance I had the best hand for some reason.
