A sick start...... in a good way

I haven't updated in a while because I've been moving stuff in my new house and getting settled in. Poker is now my job and it pays my bills. So far its been up and down, like any poker player can tell you, but I absolutely love it. The bad days are awful..... my worst so far totaling a loss of $595 (ouch..). The good days, like today, make it all worth it though. So far my best day is about the same as my worst loss, at $600. This week has been freakin sick though. I have luck to thank for that much more than skill this time, because the deck has been hitting me in the face. I've played a grand total of 8 sngs this week....... just 8! Here's what it looks like.

$50 sngs Partypoker


(M, 4, 1, 1, 2, +380)
(W, 4, 2, 1, 0, +430)



:::(M=Monday, 4=played, 1=firsts, 1=seconds, 2=thirds, +380=profit):::


Weekly

played 8
1sts 3
2nds 2
3rds 2
profit +$810

I'll play more later this week, but I think I'm done for today.... I love those results and I don't want to ruin my day lol. I know this is a rediculously lucky run and it won't stay even close to this in the long run, but its sessions like these 2 that make me love my "job".

I've finally cleared my bonus at Poker Fantasy and once they update my points I will probably cash out $400 from there and try to get back into playing some limit again, probably 5/10 at Pacific Poker. I consider it one of the softest sites for mid limit holdem. Hopefully I can move up to 10/20 in a few weeks.

Oh, and I have been keeping yearly stats from the beginning of the month and am only up a whopping $337.66 after 3 weeks, which isn't good at all, but I haven't had a chance to play much. This money DOES NOT include this week though.


Week 1 = +$245
Week 2 = +$445
Week 3 = -$352.34 (I played a couple multis, thats where the .34 comes from)

Week 3 was bad, but I am bouncing back. Currently after cashouts my roll is at $1935.14. Well I'm gone for now but I'll update again once or twice before me and Cassey leave for Milwaukee to visit my cousin on Feb 2.
