5/4/09: Catching up

Haven't wrote anything in a while, I guess I've been busy but really not busy enough to not find ten minutes a day to write. The month was shaping up very nicely until the 30th, where I ran terrible, and couldn't scoop a pot for the life of me (and believe me, there were a lot of huge ones to scoop). I then went on awful monkey tilt, something I haven't done once this year I believe, and made the day even worse financially. I ended the day having had my largest downswing of the year (almost 8k). It sucked, mostly because it put a big damper on what was going to be a very good month. It also sucked because it was the first time I can blame myself for losing money, rather than just writing it off as running badly.

Then next few days I played only a little poker, making sure the tilt had totally worn off before getting back into it. I have begun to make a little on the new month, and feel a lot better having finally set up some goals to accomplish by the 31st. They are:

-150k hands
-30k profit
-Gym 4-5 days a week (prob averaged 2 a week last month, partially because I was sick)
-Get signed up for online classes so I can graduate
-Start seriously looking for a place to buy

Hopefully I can get the first two accomplished despite plans to travel throughout the month. On the 8th I am going to California to visit some friends, then at the end of the month I will hopefully head to Vegas for a couple of the WSOP events. I am really excited for both trips.

Right now I am at home helping my mom get set up for the spring. We spent the last two days creating a garden for her business (she is a florist): putting up fences, setting up walkways, planting and raking. hopefully come fall she will have available to her all the flowers that arn't normally available to order. Now its time for bed, because we put in close to an 8 hour day outside.

some numbers

Last month total profit: ~17k

This month (so far):
hands: 9936
Amount won/lost: +$3060
