October Results/November Goals

Well first of all I hardly played any online poker this month ~1.5K hands, but I did come out a winner and I didn’t accomplish any goals that I set for myself last month. I started out the month in a bad mood for some reason, but by the middle of October I told myself to quite being such a pansy, because my life at the moment couldn’t be any better. I mean I have a wonderful wife, a healthy baby, a good job, great friends and I even get to go to strip clubs on occasions!!!

I have had to use some of my live roll recently to purchase a laptop, so that I can do my two favorite things in life, play poker and spend time with my family, at the same time. A friend gave me a Dell E1505 laptop that he used before he threw it across and broke the screen after a bad beat. He offered me the laptop for free, so I took it and had to invest ~$300 into it to get it back working. I now have to get a wireless router for my house, so I can sit on the john and play poker. LUCKY ME!!!

My goals for November are to get in ~5K+ hands and to start playing $200NL on Bodog. I know I can beat the game, but I just need to get my online roll to where it needs to be so that I can take a couple shots.

This month I won $260 online and lost $215 live, so I am up a net of $45.







Good luck!

P.S. Here are some pictures...






And no I didn't pick out the costume.

Ok well I have had a pretty good weekend. Poker wise, I won a little over 2.5 BIs at my bread and butter $100NL game on Bodog. I pretty much just played ABC and ended up hitting and running on Saturday morning and on Sunday afternoon. I played probably about 3 hours of poker this weekend and won close to $250. I would say that is a good hourly rate!!!!!!


My little boy Harper was 9 weeks old today and we actually took him to church for the first time since he was born. Everyone from church was super excited to see him.

Time to go watch the Sunday Night Game. I like Denver +4.5 if anyone cares.


Bodog roll= $1,350
Total roll = $2,350


WHO DAT!!!

Saints are on a roll, everyone better watch out.

Well I finally got out of the funk that I was in I think. Today was the first time in about 3 weeks that I even opened up Bodog to play some poker. I told myself that I was going to play a short session to see if I was ready to jump into the waters of Bodog again. I played two short sessions tonight. I played one 30 minute session before supper and I played a one hour session right after supper. This was my favorite hand of the 30minute session before supper. I won about $7 in this short session.

I really hate when someone tries to check raise my CBets!!!!!

I dont know why I wasnt at full stack I usually am. I think I lost a nice pot before the hand came up and I didnt reload in time.

These guys need to learn to fear me!!!!!

The second session after dinner was a little more entertaining. I really didn't have many big pots to talk about. I just took down a couple $20 and $25 dollar pots and I ended up winning close to $95 for the night.

I was currently on a 4 BI downswing, so this little win helped boost my confidence.

I currently am sitting at $1,100 on Bodog after having to withdraw some money to finance my little strip club excursion in New Orleans. I still have $1,000 in my live roll that I hope to put to use really soon.

So my total BR stands at around $2,100.

I got a big trek in front of me if I want to reach my goal by Jan08. Wish me luck!!!

Oh and by the way Bodog has gotten 400% better on cashing out. I requested and received my paper check through FEDEX in 4 business days total. I now can say that I LOVE BODOG AGAIN. It used to take close to 20 business days. Mmmmmm good.

Good Luck

Guys I am in a weird mood. I don't know what my problem is. I don't have any drive to play any poker. I haven't played online in about a week. I kinda think it has to do with me being so stressed out with everything going on in my life right now. I haven't been doing much when I get home from work besides sitting around with my wife and Harper and enjoying their company.

I recently got back from a bachelors trip for a buddy of mine that was in New Orleans. We ate at some nice places like The Red Fish Grill and The Bourbon House. We went to a couple of strip clubs, one was Ricks Cabaret and I cant recall the other one. We also went to a Saints game which they lost on a last second 52 yd field goal.

Guys I hope I start to feel better soon. I just wish that I knew what was going on in this body of mine. I feel like someone killed my dog.

Keep me in your prayers.

PS-Edmond D. stop bustin my chops!!!

Here were my September goals:

1. Play 4K hands
2. Take some shots at $200NL online
3. Play some live poker once again, since my son is born now.
4. Pray Bodog doesn't shut down.


The only goals that I accomplished was #1 and #4 I guess. I never got to 12 BIs for $200NL, so I did not get to take a shot at a higher level this month,but if I can have a couple of good days to start October I should be able to take a couple of shots at $200NL soon.


Ok so here are my results for September and my October Goals

October Goals:
1. Play 4.5K hands online
2. Take a shot at $200NL
3. Win 10+ BIs at which ever level I play regularlly.
4. Play live atleast once.
5. Stop overplaying overpairs.
6. Get online roll to $4K


My PTracker results are about $80 off. I only won $944 this month, which is my new record for online winnings in a month.

My online roll currently sits at $1,730.

Good Luck

How do my stats look? What do I need to work on?.
