Not gonna happen.

However, my month is really going to start on August 15th. I have my son for the summer and he goes back to his mom's on the 15th, so I'm going to be spending a lot of time with him and very little time playing poker in the next seven days. I just got back from Hawaii so I haven't put in any hands at all for the month.

That being said I'm going to stretch my goals out over August and to the end of September. I'm going to be ambitious and go with $25k by the end of September.

Thank you! =).

Can't say it's good to be back, because I'd rather be on the beach sipping on a Mai Tai tbh, but I'm anxious to get some hands under my belt.

weee just got back from my vacation....before i left i was up 10k, oh wait, i doinked that back off the 2 days before i left...sigh that sucked. here are my plans for the rest of the month, but mostly september...

august goal is to get roll back up in the 42-45k range...

here is my tentative plan for September.

go to the borgata poker open in AC and win my main event seat:

some stipulations:

I'd like to take 10% of my roll out there, no less than $4k. Right now, after losing what I earned last week back, I'm at like 36k, so I have 18 days to earn at least 4k (should be "easy" -knock on wood- and surpass this). I'd rather have around 43-45k though if I head out there and be able to take a bit more, but I think 4k would be ok to take outta my roll if it's only at 40k by end of this month.

here is the schedule i'm looking at, satellite wise on a 4k budget...

Fly out on the 7th..

8th $1070 Big Three Super Sat...this is a baller satellite...~1/18 get seat to 2.5k, 5k, and 10k main event
9th - $550 Big Three Super Sat again, ~1/36 get the same deal as above

If i brick both of those I will still have $2380 (outta 4k) to work with and will move on to...

I will play 4 $550s, which are all for the main event, 1/20 get a seat...if I brick all of those I will play one $280 where 1/40 get a seat...this would be 4050k in fees, but I think I can let the extra $50 slip.

The $550s I'd play on the 12th, 14th, 14th again if i brick first one, and then the 15th. I'd play the 280 in between one of those.

Anyways, that's the tentative plan...some other things will influence my decision to go, but i'm fairly certain that I could take down a seat with this plan, if not whatever...hopefully i just take down the satellite on the 8th if I go.

what you guys think? and anyone else heading out there?

Welp, here I go... about to take my son to get some pictures taken and then off to the airport. Won't be playing at all tomorrow and will be starting a new chapter in my life on Thursday.

I've been playing after my son has gone to bed a little here and there and logged 5.5k hands which will give me a nice boost towards my goal of $25k by the end of September (I should be able to do this easily).

Graph: I really haven't been running "super" hot by any stretch, and have actually had some sick negative variance and coolers in here. I find the average 1/2 opponent to be much more exploitable than 0.5/1.00 so I'm actually expecting a higher long term win-rate.
