Vegas

So 2 weekends ago I booked another trip out to Vegas. I'll be back out there with 2 friends from R.I. who I met through twoplustwo. Were staying at the Luxor again. I enjoyed it there last year except for the walks from casino to casino. We'll be out there for 9 days and with round trip flight it was only 1042 per person, plus one friend has his own flight so is giving us 150 each making our total cost a little under 900$ for the trip.

I'll be out there June 28th till July 7th. I can't wait to go. One thing I'm really looking forward to doing out there is shooting some guns. There is a huge gun range in Vegas and you can shoot a bunch of different guns. I'm most looking forward to an Uzi and M-16.

I'd love to grind tonight but I told myself no poker tonight, plus the girlfriend is sick so I'm going to go make her some soup and watch a movie.

Tomorrow I'm looking to put in about 2000 hands

More of the way too long syndrome

School has been bogging me down, along with work and poker. This is teh first month I've really decided to grind out some hands. I made an effort to play around 4 tables at all times because I wanted to hit 15000 hands this month. I made it to about 11k with moderate at best results. I'm pretty happy with the way I played but I have realized my game has much room for improvement. I made 728$ this month plus $170 in rakeback so all in all not too bad of a month. My sessions have usually been around an hour to an hour and a half long of 4 tabling when I have been playing. I averaged around 17$ an hour and with rakeback its a little closer to 20$ an hour. Not too shabby and if I could just stop spewing in some marginal spots my winrate would jump through the roof. I ran 17/14/6 which I think are great stats for 100NL.

Heres a graph of this month.

also add in $248 from foxwoods making about 1150$ this month. Hopefully next month will be better. I'm not 100% happy with my play this month so I am going to play a few thousand more hands at 100NL before jumping back up to 200NL.

I received a letter from my school this past week telling me I'm being inducted into Delta Mu Delta which is the National Honor Society for Business students. You have to be in the top 10% at your school and that's me so ship it.

I have an awesome post for tomorrow to talk about the summer.

Too long

Sorry it's been so long since an update. Poker was miserable for a while so I took a break. Just looking at this blog made me mad which is why I didn't update for a while. I took off about 10 days total and didn't play at all. My first session back was pretty poor results wise but I felt I played pretty good poker. I did spew off about 75$ on 2 bluffs thats pointless and I ended up down about 180. The last night I made 290. I played pretty well but was down about a buyin then went on a heater and won a few stacks pretty quickly. Today I made 43$.

I've played about 2k hands in the past 3 days which I want to keep consistent. My gold is to have around 10k online by the end of June.

Live poker roll is busted. I don't even feel like discussing it because it makes me mad. Called down by underpairs, set over set, you name it it happened.
