June round up

Well its been a shithouse last few days. Bad way to finish the month imo. Mr variance has been a prick the past week. My ev is bad but i have been coolered an absolute ton as well. Standard shit i guess.


Anyway in terms of a month wrap up; Played minimal due to exams etc.

• Roll was $497 at the end of May
• +$155 from cash games
• +$93 from rakeback
• +$2.5 from bonuses

total: ~$750



Pretty shit i but can't complain too much given that exams pwned most of my time in june. Looking forward to a good July. July goals are to play 50k hands & be well rolled for nl50.

Goals for this week

Unfortunately wasn't able to play too much this weekend. I had the urge to play today but didn't because i was immensely hung over and i've had bad experiences in the past playing hungover. Anyway figured id make some goals for next week to try motivate me to log more volume.

GOALS for this week

• 10K hands
• $100 in winnings (should probably make more but im happy with this as a start point)

If i can do this my roll should be well on the way to 1k. Looking further into the future i think ill take some shots at nl50 when my roll hits 1.2k

Footy tonight!

Haven't been able to play too much but have been thinking about my options. Im considering just consolidating all my money back onto ipoker and sticking to nl20 there. Party seems ok in terms of standard and software, but no point continually stuffing around with nl10 because im a massive bankroll nit. Anyway the total roll is current ~$785 so its all good. Going to the footy tonight (Australia vs France) then having a massive night in the city. Pretty much the post exam bender i have been waiting for!

ok maybe not

Well the $115 - $500 party poker quest got abandoned very quickly. The mother started harping up about the unfinished painting, so ill need to spend a fair bit of time doing that this week. Played a bit of pokes though, lifting the party roll to $142 & ipoker to $560



Things are going well at the moment and hopefully it can continue. Total roll is

$559 ipoker
$142 party poker
$23 rakeback

Total: $723

Holiday plans and final exam!

Got my final exam this afternoon (FK YEH!). Psychopathology which shouldn't be too bad. Anywho marketing went really well. Hopefully get a distinction which would be university balling out of control. After today i have a fair bit of time off and i have been thinking about my poker options. My first goal is going to be running this $115 on party upto $500 in a week. Pretty lofty aspirations but if i play a lot and play well its just under 60 a day which is doable. After this i will probably xfer my party moneys to ipoker and get my serious grind on.

Obviously this is all pretty wishful thinking but acting positive is key to succeeding with poker imo.

Righto back to the psych study!

Small update

Got a marketing exam this afternoon which should be ok. Multi choice & extended responses ftw!. On the poker front Party poker sent me a letter which offered a fairly miniscule $10 bonus + a random $50 bonus. I've been wanting to check out the standard there so i figured id deposit. Threw on a quick $69 US which became $79 because the $10 bonus was instant and i was on my way. Pretty much just playing NL10 buying in for $5 to make sure i don't get completely rusty while im playing so little during these exams. Don't want to return to NL20 and donk a bunch of buy ins.



Anyway in summation total roll (USD) is:
$525 (ipoker)
$115 (party poker)
$24 in rb waiting.

= $664.

Looking forward to running this bitch north after monday.

Battle continues

Had economics 2 days ago and pleased to say it went well. I think this was mainly due to the amount of study i did in prep for the exam. I really wanted to avoid getting a long answer question that struck panic in me as they had done before. The sort of questions where you read them and just think "oh shit i can't write more than a paragraph about this topic" when your required to write about 6 pages. I've had these before in exams due to lack of preparation and all they do is force you to waffle on about nothing and the whole time your thinking "I really hope i don't have to do this damn subject again because of this friggin question".

Anyway the study continues for marketing which i have on Saturday (it's Thursday morning here in kangaroo land). Shouldn't be too much of a concern as long as i get through the necessary study. Played roughly 6 minutes of poker the other day to reward myself for economics. Looked like being about a neg $10 session but then i had a small win and ended up +$4.50. Ship it!

Roll is $524 and not moving anywhere fast.

Cramming

I've stuck to my word & have kept poker to an absolute minimum as of late. Played probably 20 mins in total over the last week or so and won about a buy in. I've never been so proud to log such little volume! Study is going well and im not to worried about failing anything. Got economics on the 16th so thats the key focus at the moment.

Definitely looking forward to grinding a ton and getting absolutely shit faced when i hit the town again with the lads. Going to be a massive night on the 22nd!

Roll is $520 (with $22 in rb waiting).

May round up

Slightly late but here's my May round up:

• Started with $70
• +$273.69 from cash games
• +$52 from parlaying fpp tournament dollars
• +$70 from rakeback
• +$16 from tounaments/sng's
• +$15 from bonuses

total: $497

Got exams on the 16th, 20th & 22nd this month so poker will be minimised. Grind time following that!

urghhhhhh

Last 5 days or so have been absolutely horrible. Combination of playing bad and running worse has seen my roll drop to like $380. I've got $70 rakeback coming which should help stem the flow, but i feel dirty relying on it to get back towards positive. Whatever, money is money i guess. It doesn't help that the ipoker software tilts the hell out of me but i think i need to to just accept it and play on. Having too many things on my mind like imminent exams etc isn't helping my mindset either when i play. Im goingto take the next few weeks off completely from poker and just study. Leaving my roll as is and will resume after june 22nd.
