Brag of the day: I hung out with Lauren Marnik* at Tori's fire and we talked about steve!!

Here it is:
Last night was by far my worst day out of the challenge so far. I'll describe what went down, then just post the total for the day because I need to get back to the grind.
So here's what happened I started grinding out some $5's and some of the 4.40 180 man's. I think I had way too many tables going at once, because my reasoning was very flawed in some of the hands. Also, litterally hand after hand i had lost 5 big pots without showdown. I thought each C-bet would be appropriate given the situation (HU) however I just didnt get a fold. I typically dont worry about losing some pots where I c-bet, to anyone. I guess it was just the fact that it all happened consecutively which tilted me. Oh yes, I became on super tilt BTW. I just started losing, and it spiraled into more losing. I gotta work on my tilt its costing me BIG this time.
Totals for the day: -78.02
Sngs played: 24
Profit: -73 50$
Cash hands played: 817
Profit: -4.52$

Berenziah Traps Anne Coltar's jacove
Totals for the day: +103.50$
Today went well in the begginning, played earlier than usual -around 3 O'clock. Then played at steves house with Monty. At steve's house i couldnt focus that well and made some mistakes which seemed reasonable at first, yet second look I realized the mistake. Some of the mistakes involved open shoving when I was too deep, or taking high variance spots (like Flips) when my edge would be greater overall if i had not taken that flip.
But overall great day to get me back around pace.
Brag of the day:
Flopped Straight flush HU in a limped Pot w/ villain having around 12ish bb's. He shoved.
Profit's since may 21's: +385.71
After 11 days, at 45$ a day I should be at +495.
Very optimistic on the challenge though, still have 4614.29$ to go.

Short Day
Okay, so I've been playing these SNG's all wrong apparently. Instead of constantly having around 8-12 tables up, I have been pulling up 12 tables, letting them finish, then restarting. This is NOT the way I should be grinding these so I'm changing it around.
Totals For the day: 24.32$
Total sngs: 24
Total profit: +13.65$
FPP satellite won -profit: +10.67$
Total profit since May 17th: +282.21$
At 45$ a day I should be at: 450$+
So I'm a little behind, but that's okay. This is mostly due to me taking the weekend off to go to my cousins' house, I need to get the grind back.

Swingy ladder to the sun.
Totals for the Day: 21.25$
3's sngs: 5
Profit: 10$
5's sngs: 32
Profit: 11.25$
Today went really swingy. At one point i was busting out of 3/5 bubbles and losing in every HU match...while playing my best. Then when i was playing not optimally I came in 1'st or 2nd in about 4/12... man variance kills me sometimes.
Alright so, overall since May 17th my profits are: +257.89

Break even for a Break.
So after my last post, (being breakeven for the day), I went up to my cousins house to hang out with my cousins and focus on non poker stuff i.e music, friends, etc. I played some cash games on my Toshiba Netbook which did not go so well. I played the short stack tables on stars, I F***ing hate those tables. They're so crazy, people getting it in left in right. This sounds like pretty good tables typically, but I'm having a hard time putting ranges on them, and end up making a not-so good decesion in a 50bb pot. I also tend to be weak tight post flop at these tables, I just feel like my C-bets are getting shoved on constantly by all of the 20-40 bb stacks and it sucks. I just have to think value value value next time.
Anyways the sngs went pretty well. I started off bad, getting sick beats at the 5's busted out like 4 bubbles in one little session. Pretty brutal. But my second session I played early this morning went incredibly well and brought my graph to a new time high.
Totals since may 21st: +40.20
5$ sngs played: 19
Profit: 89$
3$ sngs played: 6
Profit:1.20$
Cash hands:
Around 300 (dont have HH on my Netbook)
total profit:-50$

5$ SNGS
Late in the day yesterday, I started playing a mix of 3$ sngs and 5$ sngs. This did not go over well. Overall I'm in a 20BI downswing at the 5$'s. I dont like playing the 3$ and the 5$ together because they do play differently, so today I'm going to play the 5$ solely and come out of this niche.
I also played some 2$/5$ sngs on fulltilt just to try them out. They went well, the structure is completely different than pokerstars. I dont know if i like them yet.
Made my first cash out today, 150$ I plan on using this for some spending money, aswell as my gym membership for the summer.
Totals for late yesterday: -2.52$
5$ sngs: 21
Profits: -25.5$
3$ sngs: 6
Profits: 9.49$
Fulltilt sngs: 6
Profits: +13.49

Cash and sngs mixed
Today I mixed in some Cash games at the end of the day. The overall day went really well, however during the sng's i felt i was again making too many simple mistakes, and that my winnings felt like this: "oh its just variance." So tonight I'm going to watch another one of Jackal's vids in the series 18-180. After I'll grind about 10-15 more 18/27 mans.
Heres the day's totals:
Total sngs played: 14
Profit from sngs: $53.30
Cash hands at 10nl:245 hands
Cash hands at 25n: 464 hands
Total profit from 25nl: 81.68
total profit from 10nl: -27.02
Total profit from cash: 54.66
Overall day's profits: 107.96$
The day went really well monetarily wise. But again, I keep making mindless mistakes. These mistakes involve either i wasn't focused on the table and was just "pressing buttons" when I was doing things, or i was making plays that had no warrant to do so. Also, i feel that when i jump into playing, the beginning of my session goes downhill (probably from lack of focus/adjusting). So the next time I play my objective is to be thinking my best and not making mindless plays for each and every hand.

Day 1
Today started off really well, hit a really decent patch of variance and killed it. However as the day turned out I started making really simple mistakes. I'm going to try and learn from them and keep watching Card runners vids until they go away. I finished my last session in a 10 buy in downswing, however was still up about 40 on the day. Through winning a 27man for 10 buyins just about, my downswing was deleted. :)
Totals for the day:+81$
8 hours of grind:
48 Sngs +82
133 hands of cash for -1.33
Spent 280 fpps on a SAT -280 Fpps.
Finally have silverstar, so I can really start to rack in those fpp's and get a decent rakeback going with the SAT's
Pretty satisfied on the day, going to head to bed and get ready for the next grind.

Intro Yo
So I'm making this blog as a Goal setter/accountability thing. My main goal for this summer is to make at least 5k by the next school semester. The next semester starts around September 6th, and today is the 17th so that leaves me 112 days left.
So goals:
5k by next semester.
Post on this Blog about my daily progress.
Make much progression in my guitar/music skills.
112 days is 45$ a day.
This definitely seems do-able, and if i hit the goal early, then I'll re-write my goals. I should be able to make this with about 40 hours of playing a week. However i plan on pushing my limits and going for 70-90 hours a week. This will allow myself to take"vacation days" to focus on my social life/beach days.
I will be playing mostly micro/low stake sngs, some micro tournaments, and playing micro stakes cash games.
In addition to my playing time, the rake back/bonuses will count towards my goal.
