June Poker Results
Despite getting crushed by one of the biggest fish on the internet at $5k NL towards the end of June, I miraculously ended up with a winning month. Definitely not even close to an acceptable month but I'm happy to just be positive after running so bad at pretty high stakes.
I wasn't able to get in as much volume as I had liked when I was in Vegas. I ended up playing for about 81 hours total in June, which is a little more than half of my normal time spent playing. I played about 25,000 hands for the month.
I ended up going out clubbing or to some other nightlife event almost every single day... taking only about 3-4 days off from going out. Going out to a club is a ton of fun and I don't regret any of the nights I went out, but it's a huge time investment as well. Aside from the fact that you're spending about 4-5 hours at night in the actual club, it takes a few hours ahead of time to round everyone up and get out there. Also, if you drink, then you're likely to sleep in until the afternoon the next day, which leaves you only a block of about 4-6 hours during the afternoon to play poker.
But I've had an amazing time in Vegas so far. I'm glad I stayed in a house that me and 6 other online poker pros rented for the month of June. I made many new friends, which was the main reason I was going to Vegas anyways: to have fun and meet new people.

ReplyDeletevery cool that you can keep everything in perspective. sure, it's easy to look at the pure hourly rate of all of this, but balance is king and most people that don't have it will eventually crumble. glad that you could hit green for the month as well, good show
Thanks for the comment Malfaire.
