sooo -- i have two things to talk about. the first is that im going to really try to blog more to start thinking about my game at a higher level (review hands and just set goals for myself to keep myself motivated) and i will also write about things going on in my life just because im already writing about poker and i know it will happen. i'll start with life this time..
QUAD DAY! quad day was baby spencer's idea. the premise is simple -- smoke a quad to yourself in a 24 hour span (really we did the actual quad in a 8 hour span but whatever). it was just ian spence, me and nadine (nadine and i split the quad).
we were at the spot smoking at midnight anyways before we started and shared like 2.5 between 4 or 5 of us. then we woke and the festivites began. first we smoked out with spence/ian's friend jermey who was a pretty chill guy. i think we sparked a joint/blunt (dont remember) and then matched bowls in the dual bowl piece and were pretty faded after that. then we smoked out first out of the quad, went to the hat for lunch and had the most amazing food in the world. then we went to lindsays and rolled up a bunch and smoked number 2 and 3. watched year one at the dollar theatre (mehhh .. michael cera does make me laugh though) and then drove over to spences to roll the rest while smoking number 4. got there, picked up dawar on the way, rolled and then smoked 5 outside in a park near her house. secruity for woodbury was driving around near us so we walked away which wasted valuable time (it was like 1115 and we still had 2 to smoke). we finally got back to the car at 1130ish and headed to the spot and then finished the last two back to back. it was exactly midnight as we were finishing, kinda wonderful. we then went to in n out (decided this had to be done around blunt 5) and then went back to the spot for a 'dessert' blunt that we all shared. all in all it was a ridiculously high day.
for poker i made a new goal in my head but haven't rolled worked out how i'm going to get there so that's what i plan to do now. here it goes.. ! so i want to make 25k by the new year, which gives me 4 months. if i just averaged it out that would be 6.25k/mo. obv im going to make a lot more in december than i will in sept, but it's nice to know that. soooo.. well say in sept i play 50nl for the first week and the 100nl for the last 3 weeks.
if i expect to win at 3ptbb/100 AT LEAST that would mean i would have to play ~20k hands/wk to make 4k that mo. i think 4k is a good number to shoot for in sept. right now my roll is at 1.2 -- making 4k would put it at 5.2k BUT i will be taking out 1k at the minimum for life and whatnot so my goal for my roll is ~4.2k at the end of sept (this isn't including rakeback at all so i have quite a bit of cushion).
so now going into october i'm aiming to have 4.2k -- let's say i stay at 100nl for another 2 weeks probs, which should net to 2.5-3k at least. then we'll bump it to 200nl for that last 2 weeks and well just at least 4k from that. soo that would be 6.5k made in october before rakeback which leaves me at 10.5k -- BUT we still take out at least 1k, we'll call it 2k this month just to keep things good, so aiming for 8.5k at the end of october.
now we start out november with 8.5k before rakeback and hopefully be chillin as a 200nl reg. well say 2-2.5k/wk as a 200nl reg .this would mean i have to play ~15k/wk which isn't much. all these expectations have been on the low side, i will constantly be pushing myself to play more but i think it's good to make conservative expectations because if i set my goals to high and i fall short it will really upset me (i know how my head works) but if i set somewhat conservative but still very adequate results and then push myself to do better i will feel very good. anyway, i'll stick to 200nl all month and expect to make 8-10k which would boost my roll to 18.5k by the end of the month. at this point i would start to think about my live roll for 2/5 which i want 5k to start (i will still take more out to have 20+ BI's but i think i can start playing with 5k). soo -- let's say i take 6k out this month, that would leave me at ~10.5k at the end of november.
now december -- what a wonderful month. still chillin as a 200nl reg -- don't plan to try to move up (who knows what my mindset will be in 4 months) but well go with the same expectation as last month which is 8-10k from this. the lovely part about this is that i should be playing live 3+ times a week with my newly aqquired bankroll. how will i have time to play 3+ sessions/wk live and 15hrs+/wk online you ask? the answer is simple -- I WILL FINALLY QUIT FUCKING ISLANDS!! i'll actually put my two weeks in sometime near the end of november so december should be a restaurant free month. i haven't had enough exp live so it's hard to set goals for myself in terms of winrate. i'll say that if i end up +5k at the end of the month i would be very happy with that (i don't know how long to expect upswings/downswings but i'm pretty sure live downswings can last for months at times so we'll take this easily). so my online roll should jump to 18.5k and my live roll i would be very happy to be 10k+. idk how much i'll take offline -- we'll say 5k because this is my birthday and christmas month so i'm sure i'll want to go to vegas and do things realllllll fucking big since everyone is 21. so, end of december we should aim for 13.5k online and 10k+ live.
with these goals i set for myself this would me making 26.5k online and 5k live -- and i orignally said my goal is 25k before the new year so i like what i've laid out for myself over the next few months.
like i said, all of these expectations are very adequate and i would be quite happy with them but i can also achieve a lot more than this soooo as far as putting money aside and saving to move out i'm not quite sure how i'm going to be doing that BUT if all of this falls into place fairly nicely i'd say i could be looking to rent out a pretty fucking baller place around the turn of the new year. good things are around the corner.
funny thing is the high point of my 'career' so far was last december (200nl baller who thought nothing could stop me) so even though it feels like it was FORRRRRREVER ago when i was an online baller it was really only a year roadbump. that is nothing in a lifetime.
i'll post pretty regularly how i'm doing -- off to session. poker, not drugs. peaccccce
