I haven't updated in a while. My life is changing pretty drastically here pretty soon. The band that I have been in for the last 3 years is going to be breaking up on September 1st. I have been playing music with these guys for a long time and we have developed some of the strongest friendships I could imagine and its going to be weird not seeing them and making loud noise 3 times a week anymore.
Our guitar player is going to be moving to Nashville to be with his girlfriend and none of the other members are really in a position to move across the country. Its pretty depressing, kind of the feeling you get after a break up with a cool girl. Hopefully the rest of the band will be able to continue making music, but I'm not counting on it.
Poker has been pretty frustrating as of late. I was on a ten buy in downswing and couldn't figure out why I was donking it up. I realized that I had a case of FPS and that is not a profitable "disease" to have at these limits. For those of you who are not familiar with the term FPS, it means Fancy Play Syndrome. These people do not fold, and trying to "outplay them" by assuming that they are thinking and reacting to your constant aggression as a sign of strength is FPS. You are rarely able to make someone lay down top pair, or second pair. Which over the long run can be profitable if your playing an ABC type poker game, and getting as much value as possible out of the hands that you do hit.
This is my graph from the beginning of this month
As you can see it takes a nice little dip on the middle. Hopefully I have cured my FPS and can continue it on a steady upward movement. The graph says that I am down only .38 cents, but my Poker Tracker says that I am still down $5.01. So I will go by PT because it seems to be more accurate. I am half way through my month of "free time" and overall I am still profitable with my rake back that has been earned which is about $130 as of today (plus the 108 that I earned from last month).
I haven't been holding up to the 3k hands a day either. I think I am averaging just over 1k a day. I put in 2200 today and 1900 yesterday. Its just a lot of cards to play and I am trying to hang out with friends when I can. So I might say that I want to play 2k hands from now on, it seems more attainable.
Another thing I have been failing to do is track my results using excel spreadsheet like I have been before. So I do not know exactly where my bankroll is. I am going to start doing that again.
But as of right now I have 195 on Ultimate bet and 230 on Full Tilt. I am cashing out my UB money and am going to start a new screen name on Full Tilt but in order to do it I have to use my bank account to deposit the funds. They are not letting me use my epassporte account on the other account. So as of Sunday night I am going to start transferring everything over to epassporte so I can go put the money in my bank, and transfer it over.
I'm doing this because at the end of the month I am going to need to cash out my bankroll to pay rent and all that jazz so if I make a new account I can get the bonuses. Hopefully tomorrow I can make 15 buy ins so I can have a full $600 to deposit and clear the whole bonus. But thats wishful thinking, I'd have to be on the heater of a life time.
So as of today:
Effective br: 230
today: +$33.66 (+14 in rake back)= 47.66
Hands 2270 7.41ptbb/100
