Just about that time

Its about that time. School is over and I'm finally an Auburn graduate. WAR EAGLE!! So anyway, poker is about to be my only source of income just like it has been for the last year or so. The only thing is that I'm about to move out of my parents' house, so its time to get VERY serious about this game. Poker has provided me with plenty of money for me and my gf to go out to eat and to the movies, for me to go out on the weekends, for beer money, for Christmas gifts I had to buy, etc........ but now, it will have to pay bills. No more weeks of playing only 20 to 30 sngs.... no more weeks of getting up $500 and saying.. "thats fine for a few days, I'll take off the rest of the week." Its going to be a grind, and I'm ready.

Oh and if you're wondering about my goal I had... well, I didn't have enough time, like usual, to play that many sngs. I only played around 50 or so, and I had one horrible run where I didn't cash in 12 in a row...... 12 IN A ROW! I've never hit a rough spot like that before, and it hurt. I still managed to break about even in that time frame, but with all the money I got for graduation, I was able to reimburse my bankroll back to the good ol $1,500...... perfect for $50 sngs. I only played 31 sngs the week before Christmas, and I had a pretty good week for such a small sample size......

Partypoker
$50+5
played = 31
1st = 4
2nd = 4
3rd = 6
ITM = 45.16%
ROI = 29.03%

profit = +$495


Once again, I didn't have much time to play. This time because of Christmas shopping and junk, and because I sleep till noon... :) But one thing is for sure, I'm about to start playing more.... I have time now. So I cashed out $500 a few days ago, and my roll is sitting at $1,517.48 at the moment. I'll update later this week.
