Boom! - 70k

Yesterday I had a really good day, which put 70k within reaching distance.. so I played a ridic amount, throughout the night. By around 6am I was like ~3k away from it. I took a break, went to get my haircut... ya at 6am and it was packed.. what the hell? Came back took a shower and grinded out the rest of the 3k to make a 70k month.

This is def the proudest I have been during my poker career.. for all the ~20k-30k months I have had it was just grinding, but this month I feel like I actually acheived something, and I worked pretty hard at it too. Also I owe this session to 'Kick' a cheap Red Bull substitute... god it's awful.





This month is def down to a good work ethic, getting a coach and talking to people about hands and stuff like that to improve my game. Thanks ppl, you know who you are. Also I never imagined how much difference a decent screen and good setup would make.. it's pretty amazing.

The hand that tipped me over was actually pretty funny, so I'll post that.. and then my months highlights.. then i'm taking the next two days off, drinking playing football and generally staying away from poker.

Bleh yeah that's enough anyways. A friend said I should put in a mini glossary so he could understand all the poker crap that I type, so I will do that some time.. I forget that these random acronyms that are everyday use for me look completely stupid to other ppl.


I guess my goals will be for next month:

-To play as many hands as possible, even though it will be hard.
- Play 10/20, (GASP!) by myself.
- Play more on Full Tilt Poker, and ipoker.
