Feb wrap-up

February 2011 wrap-up

Got crushed in the last 2 days. cant catch a break in the 100s. dropping them next month again, just playing mainly 60s to rebuild some confidence again. Pretty happy with my game, think I just ran pretty bad which affected my mental state at times. Still a long way to go mentally.

January wrap-up

January 2011 wrap-up

Decent month, hit with the variance stick pretty hard in the middle. But yeh std 50BI swing. Dropped the 100s for the last few days to get some financial confidence. I'm taking 100% of my action again, after 3 (?) months with a backer. There is no way I would be where I am today without the help of my backers, so thanks again guys.

I'm changing my review format a bit. Got rid of some useless stats and im only blogging about $ directly related to playing. So my staking/coaching isnt added into those totals. Although, I did have the first 5 figure month of my life when u add all that stuff... couldn't help the brag sorry.

2010 Review

2010 wrap-up

Jan - mixing 12s-24s trying to move up to the reg infested MS SnGs on FT.
Feb - swongs. played mostly 12s, cashed out some of my BR to upgrade my pc
Mar - played 12s to rebuild my roll. ran hot. consistently putting in +$1k months. 16 tabling at this point.
Apr - blog dramas, still raping the 12s for >10%.
May - playing just 24s. adjusting. swinging.
Jun - solid results on 24s-36s. starting to build confidence. (first $2k month)
Jul - solid results again on 24s-36s. new record profit month. (12 months of STTs 2s - 36s)
Aug - got backing and hit the 60s, ran good played good. setting my sights on the 100s.
Sep - avg month, small sample on 119s didnt go too well.
Oct - ran like shit, about 4k < ev. 120BIs < ev on 36s.
Nov - failed @ creating a freeroll. Russian bots spammed it. Best poker month of the year. ran incredibly hot. added 216s+ (lol variance)
Dec - meh, ran bad. played good. ps.com video coach

Overall I am very very happy with my year. I started 2k10 with 2k online playing $12 SnGs in my free time. I built myself up to playing the highest stakes possible with the best players in the world. I'm also very proud to have become a ps.com coach and thanks to everyone for encouraging me to do it.

I wasn't sure whether I wanted to do this as a job, but I'm going to give it a good shot in 2k11. I love the freedom of setting my own hours and not stressing about impressing the boss. There is a lot of stress in being a poker professional, but also a lot of satisfaction and rewards if you work hard.

Highlights:
- - Ranked 13 in Holdem 9 to 10 Players Turbo $36-$100 Total Profit 2010 Leaderboard
- Winning my first $555 after a 10% suck-out on the bubble.
- Coaching, both receiving and giving.
- Receiving encouraging and positive feedback from my first video.
- Back-to-back +$2k days.
