I was going to post the graph of last months results but it pisses me off to look at it. So lets just say, I was on pace to have my best cash game month of the year but was unable to close the second half of the month. Halfway through the month I was already up around $1500 and it was looking great but three straight losing days netting -$2k wiped out all of that. It was the worst three days of poker I've ever experienced. I still have no idea what happened. I lost almost 50 buy ins in three days! Just unreal. Needless to say I took a break from grinding and only played enough to make the gold level in the IronMan challenge. I also did absolutely nothing in the six MiniFTOPS tournaments I played making it to the first break only once. It ended up being an absolute trainwreck of a month. The one bright spot of the month, though, was that I did become a black card member, although the benefits of it (at least for now) isnt anything spectacular.
Overall this year ended up being a pretty good year. I got to play in my first WSOP bracelet event, final tabled a MiniFTOPS event, and had my biggest online tournament score so far. Unfortunately, I'm starting off this year with about the same amount in my bankroll that I started with last year. It's a bit ridiculous, but I've learned SO much this last year and I'm just gonna carry it over to this year. I'm looking forward to this being my breakout year as I should finally be finished with school in May and want to be in a position to comfortably play poker full time. My school schedule is going to cut into a bit of my playing time, but I should still be able to get in a decent amount of playing in. Well I feel like I had way more I wanted to say but I really can't think of anything so I guess I'll end it here. Next blog post, I'm gonna list my poker goals/expectations for 2011. Hope everyone had a happy holiday season! Shipshape.
