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.

December wrap-up

December 2010 wrap-up

FU december, easily the worst month of the year and the worst month ive had ever tbh. Thankfully a 30BI heater over my last 2 days brought me back to even. Didnt play my A game throughout the middle, was trying new things and not feeling good while running 70BIs < EV. Anyway, doing a 2k10 write-up tomorrow so stay tuned.
