Official May Results/Graph thread

[KLJ]

I realized that I think I see these every month but there wasn't one for this month yet. I'm pounding out a final session for the month, and then i'll post a really gross graph that I won't blame on variance.

So I’ve been playing poker “professionally” since April 1. It’s been two months now and I haven’t really given any updates. I’ve been really busy working on LegoPoker, playing, and doing life stuff that I haven’t got to sit down and brag yet.





Above you can see my stats and my graph of the last 2 months (click them to zoom). I’m actually upset with my results for a few reasons:

1. I steam a lot. When I lose I lose a lot more than I should. My downswings are bigger as a result and really hurt me overall.

2. I only played 140k hands. I was aiming for at least 80k hands per month, but I suppose 140k is alright. I mean, thats more than a lot of players play all year.

3. I dont always focus 100%, and so my wins are smaller than they should be.

Overall I am very happy to be having such success, but unhappy that it isn’t what I am capable of.

A few things to note:

1. Poker takes up a LOT of my time. I thought I would have a ton of free time this summer, but between poker, studying, posting, and working on the website, I don’t have much time to much of anything else. I am with my girlfriend quite a bit, but not so much with my other friends.

2. Going to the gym is huge. Definitly the most +EV thing I do in my spare time. I get to get in shape, but not only that, my confidence is increasing and it helps with the stress of playing poker professionally.

Notice too, that $200nl isn’t going so hot. I started may playing $200nl and had marginal success at first, but the reality of the money got to me andd just crushed my spirit when I went on a downswing. I had to take numerous breaks at $200nl and overall I felt I wasn’t playing well. I really need to take the move up more seriously next time.

I’ve dropped to $100nl the last 4 or 5 days. I play between 9-12 tables, and am cleaning up. I plan to play $100nl for the majority of this month.

This is the last 2 months. But May starts at hand 75k. It was a very "meh" month with 1/2 not going very well. +3k in cash games for may, about $1k in RB/bonii, and maybe a few hundred or so from MTTs.

My may. It should be around $230 less, because of the FTP HH glitch. By the time support emails me back my HH's (3 years later), I'll have it straightened out in PT.

Like KLJ, I will post a shot tonight after I finish up the month. Unlike him, I will post a happy graph and I will blame variance.

I felt I didn't run that great this month but still did pretty good.

Didn't really get in many hands in May for various reasons. Past two months have been a bit hectic in real life and I haven't gotten in as many hands as I've wanted to. Here are my results for the past few months:



Basically I crushed $200nl to start, then broke even for a while and got annoyed so I moved down for a bit to regain sanity. I worked hard to identify my leaks and fix them, and went on a nice tear at $100nl and decided to move back up in May. I only played 4k hands this month, all at $200nl, but I did finish +$2.1k there which was nice.

Planning on doing a prop bet with another 2p2er for 40k hands in June, which is about 3 hours a day of playing which shouldn't be too difficult.

My third month playing online poker fulltime. I doubt you will see many sicker graphs than mine.

mostly 1/2 and 2/4. i am now starting to understand what people mean when they say that one day you will run worse than you ever thought possible.

I already posted in micro stakes, but I like bragging and half the profit comes from NL100 :

With bonii and PLO this is >$5k. Best month ever [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
