poker in 2009: around 65 buyins below ev
love in 2009: broke up with my gf today after 8 months

**** me

Yup, thats right, hit the 40 buyins mark.
Not more to say I guess ..

I was thinking about it!

Hai guys, this is me. Feel free to kiss my semi-bald head

Been playing NL200 HU for the last few hands, really enjoying heads up and I don't even bumhunt to find horrible players. I open up 4 tables and play whoever sits down and it seems pretty profitable so far

Still running like crap tho. As you can see I'm $9450 below EV in a mixture of nl400 and nl200 (thats around 30 buyins below EV.
Hopefully the second half of January will turn things around for me so that I run 10k above EV. I'll be glad to just run at equal EV and make money for once >.<

still a sh!tload under EV but I'm making money, almost breakeven for this year

Yup.. that's right
I dropped out of school, was doing my second year for the 3rd time and getting really tired of it.
I decided to say **** to the world and just do my own thing on my own way. Between this and a couple of months I will open my own business. Way less poker, way more feeling good, finally accomplishing something in my life.

Not gonna say much more, cause nothing is certain yet, but I'm enthusiastic

What did I do to deserve this? >.<

In case you read this patonius, I have to give you credit for your reads and how you dare to play back even for huge pots.Not many nl400 players are capable of these kind of moves.
Let me win next time tho when I actually do have a huge hand

I'm down $6.5k in EV for 2009 already, currently having my biggest downswing ever and it kinda hurts bigtime. I bought Aejones Memoires + a $7.5k downswing ... Hopefully I won't have to move down again, that would suck balls.

Here are some beauties:

ahhh well .. a lot more where I'm a 60pct favorite and lose.
When I have AK and they have a pair, then I miss.
When I have a pair and they have AK, then they hit
If by any chance I do hit an A or K while holding AK then they either have AK themself OR hit a set!
And I'm always hitting the top of their range as well

/whine

Someone kill me now

Running like crap in 09 so far. I'm around $5k under EV at nl400, pretty frustrating.
I also bought Aejones' Memoirs so I hope this downswing stops like right now cause my roll can't afford much more ..

I'm going to some private wellness center with my girlfriend later today, so hopefully that will recharge me and hit the boomswitch.
