Its My 6 Month Aniversary!

Thats right!  On Aug 11 2009 I started to seriously study and become a student of poker.  I am glad to report that I have consistently stuck with studying and playing poker.  In fact this is the first thing I have really stuck with in my life.

Most other things have been kind of half assed.  I mean I’ve had a number of short term projects that I have done well but this is the first long term thing that I can really say I have stuck with.

Just a quick summary of what I have accomplished over the last 6 months:

250 Hours Spent READING and STUDYING Poker Books
400 Hours Spent on the tables applying what I have been learning
Just started formally grinding cash tables

I believe my income should accelerate upwards very quickly because of all the studying and experience I have accumulated over the past 6 months.

The next 6 months should be exciting so check back and follow my progress!

First Day Of Grinding

I read a book called Treat Your Poker Like A Business by Dustin Schmidt which I will do a full review of later.  The book is basically about the worlds best grinder who played 7 million hands and has won over 3million dollars in the last 5 years.

Made $30 in 1 hour for the Grinding TEST RUN

I have decided to setup my poker playing exactly like him and start grinding.  I played for 1 hour during Full Tilt Poker’s Happy Hour and it went well.  I made $30 overall across 4 tables.

5cent/10cent NL Hold’em Cash Games

My strategy is simply Blind Stealing when I can and then playing good hands aggressively.  I am just playing 4 tables for now because I can focus on strategy AND playing hands properly.

Honesty this is fast enough for me at the moment.

I am mostly concerned with getting a good rhythm down so I can consistently make money on my tables.  The key is to start out focused and STAY focused  because this is a long term conservative consistent money maker.

Lets hope so at least.

Playing with the Pros: Lynette Chan

So I decided to play a super high limit SitNGo 45 Person tourney $1 + .10 buy in, when lo and behold who is sitting 2 positions to my left but Lynette Chan.  I totally chatted her up asking her about poker and why she was playing a $1 SitNGo at 3am.

She said she couldn’t sleep…which is really hot because shes a hot asian chick and its hot when hot asian chicks can’t sleep.

Wonder What We She Could Our Kids?

She Totally Wants Me...

I also asked her if there were any good books I should read to get better at poker and she said she really liked Ace On The River which has a chapter about having sex with prostitutes.

I totally think she was coming on to me…so hot.

Anyway just thought I would make you all jealous cause I’m better than you people.
