End of Month

Hey guys,
December was pretty good. I didn't get in a ton of volume but did alright. Here are my results:

December Results (all): 693 $3 $8 27% $1,995

18 Man Results for December: 597 $2 $8 19% $1,107

I'm mixing 6/18s and 16/18s and I'm still not making a ton doing that but I think my 18 man game has gotten a ton better. I've started passing on some spots and really slowing down with a big stack which are two things that are really helping I think. My roll's been growing too, which is nice. I'm up to 4.8k or so which is nice because my vegas weekend trip in the spring will cost me like 1.5k. Here are the things I'm thinking of doing:

-seeing "O"

-playing cards live (obv)

-good food, going out both nights

That brings me down to 3.3k and I'm gonna start watching some cash videos and really try to mix in some 6max. Intersession starts the ninth but here's a tentative plan that I'm really trying to make sure happens:

By January 27th (when classes start):

-have watched Baby Steps, From the Ground Up, +EVolution of a Poker Player, Real Life Micro NL Grinder

-400 18 mans

This is pretty ambitious but if I do this, then I can start playing 6m cash at 25nl for 10k hands then 50nl. I think I'll get coaching after 25nl from TheLoon on DC. He plays 100nl and I don't see any reason to pay more for a coach that plays higher and isn't as comfortable with lower stakes (or at least as accustomed to it.) So ten sessions of that will run me $700, adn will leave me like $2.5k for a roll which is 50 buyins and hopefully enough.

I'm pretty excited about this but it'll take some work.

I've also started helping out a couple guys in the 2/180s. One of them is improving but not great and the other is solid and getting better so that's been padding my roll a bit and it's pretty nice to have at least a little money coming in without playing (although I'm doing HH reviews, etc.) I'm not Shen or Vers, but I can def. help these guys get good and I think they can get like 100% at the 2s and then move up so eh.

Had a great New Years party at a friend's house in NYC last night. Tons of fun, people got hammered, and hilarity ensued.

I also have to grind because my brother has $200 left for the schoolyear and, even though I don't want to just give him money, I really don't want him to have to get a shitty $10/hr job at school. So I'll probably ship him $500 or something for the rest of the year so he's not wasting time at a job and can still go out at night.

Hope your holidays went well,
Yodaddy
