Lost about $50 on Tuesday, had an up day today, up about $240 or so. Problem is, I played a few hundred hands on the school computers, which didn't save my HHs, so now PT is behind on my stats.Totals: About 2800 hands played, up $132.85.

4 tabled for about 2 hours tonight. Played SH for the first time in a while. Had massive swings. Within the first 30 minutes I was up about $300. Then started getting raped by someone who was aggro and I swear, could see my cards. He was re-raising often, calling my 3 bets then when I whiff, shoving. When I hit, folding. I made a bad call when he shoved the flop and I called with AK high and that time he had actuall flopped 2 pair. I probably was stuck 3 buy ins at that table. Towards the end of my session I was up about $50 then proceeded to take 2 buy ins off the same person. The first I had AA, he raised UTG to 6, I made it 18 from UTG+1, button called, UTG made it $50 (so I put him on AK, KK or QQ). I figure if I shove now he folds QQ and AK so I smooth, hoping the flop comes low. Button calls behind. Flop comes 755, UTG shoves QQ, I call, button folds. About 10 hands later, I have 10 10 in BB, folds to him in SB and he raises to 6, I make it 18, he calls. Flop comes A J 10. I think I bet 25-30 here, he calls. Turn is brick, he bets $50 (oh god, KQ?????), I just call. River comes brick, he shoves. KQ??????????? I think about it forever and I just think too often he has AJ, A10, AK, AQ in this spot, so I call. He flips over A7, LOL.So I end up +460 on the night.Last night played for a few minutes and ended up -25.1k, now $3579.

Yeah, I probably reraise most of the time but knowing if I flat and flop comes out even decent that I get UTG's stack, I was willing to play it 3 handed there. I also thought even though he was getting great odds that button might not be willing to play for over 1/3 his stack (he didn't have a full buy in) with 10 10 or whatever he had originally called with. Remember this is 1/2, sometimes the concept of pot odds is lost.

My sister's church bought a bunch together up there and didn't have enough people for them, so thats who we bought them from. But I highly suggest nosebleed seats with little kids anyway. There wasn't anyone in the 4 seats to our right, so Kaelyn could run around, play with her toys, sing/talk constantly, and not bother anyone that paid $150 for their seats :)For g/f or wife, I suggest the expensive ones. (although our season tickets used to be right at the front of the upper level, and those were cheap and the crowd there was fun) With kids, nosebleeds all day long.....Mark

I wonder if I set a goal and threatened to show my results every day if I would win, too?
It seems to work well. My wife is like: Next month you're going to post that you'll make $50K....Mark

So I've been running like **** this month, but I'm pretty close to my goal. Hopefully by next week I will have made the 50k total and will post the screenshots from this month.Funny story from last night. Its about 4am and I fire up a couple 5/10nl games on Stars. Stu "TheDonator" Patterson is sitting at 2 tables and is on some kind of monkey-tilt. He is open shoving for $200 every hand! It would go like this: Stu open shoves with like 92o or w/e, someone calls, he loses, Stu reloads $200 the next hand and repeats. This went on for about 30 minutes.He was doing this on 2 tables, and eventually he built up to around $1500 on one of the tables. Then he was just opening every pot to $60. It was fun times :club:

Wow, I've been reading this thread the last couple of days with amazement.Nosup, I hope you reach your goal in the next couple of days. It would be an awsome feat doing that out of nowhere. And make sure you use your good fortune and karma to spend the money on your wife and kids and it will do you more good... of course keep a little to pad your BR :PAs for the rest of the peeps that are trying their luck with this challenge. May the flops always hit you.Jan

Thanks Jan. Its not super out of nowhere as I do play for a living. But a $25K month would be my best ever. And its been kind of fun trying to do it with a $500 bankroll. I love that there are always new things to do to keep poker fun!Mark

He's the only one here to make a TELEVISED WSOP EVENT. I dunno if that counts as out of nowhere, but obviously he has some sort of skill, maybe not parenting skills, but he's pretty decent at poker...mediocre at best :club:
