The Month of October was a great sucsess. The last week I finished up around $7500 or so. I had one day where I played terrible and finished down about 1K . The bestt session of the week was on Tue. I played two 5 hour sessions and finished up $2900. I finally stuck to a consistant scedule for the most part putting in over 40 hours. I finished up about 23K and made $2500 in Rake back. I will be traveling out to LA to visit a friend for the weekend . I leave Fri night and will be flying back back Mon if I dont fly to vegas. While I am out there I will prob play one Tourny at the Commerce and play some live poker. I have not played live poker since the the summer.

I am excited and optimistic about next month where I will only be playing 2-4. My focus this month is to play 2 Tourneys each week. and and make 35K.

I Make Decisions For a Living

The last two weeks have been solid even though havent been playing my best. I have been making alot of stupid mistakes that has cost me alot of money. My mind has been in other places I am planning a trup to LA in Dec and its been stressful.. I have almost met my goal of playing 5 hours a day. I am not sure how much I am up over the last two weeks but I am currently up a little over 11K for the month. The last 7 days I have played for about 28 Hours and am making about 144 an Hour. Sun was my best day I played 2-4 and finished up about $1100 in an hour and a half and finished up $700 playing 1-2.

The last week of October I would like to make a min of 4K bringing my monthly Profit to 15K . In the future I plan to play more Tourneys. I going to play @ least three a week. I would like to play one Sat Tourney the Sun Gurantee and the Sun Mulligan.

I hope to end the month on a high note.

I Make Decisions For a Living

This past week was interesting. So far it has been a successful 7 days. Starting with Tuesday, I played for about an hour and a half and made $113, not a huge win but it was solid. October 3rd I played for about 5 hours, I finished up $1345. I would like to play a minimum of 5 hours a day. Thursday was not very profitable. I played for almost 7 hours and made a wopping $40. I was happy with the session because I was down $600 in the first 20 min. Friday the 5th was again another successful day, I finished up $1071 playing a little less then 3 hours. Over the weekend I would have to say that I was pretty lazy. Over the two days I played less than 2 hours. Saturday I made $362 and Sunday $391.

A little information about what I play. I 8 table $1-2 NL full ring on FTP. I plan to move up limits this week or next . I currently have about 14K in my Roll 35 buyins at 2-4. I would like your opinions on if this is a good amount to move up from 1-2. I also have a real problem playing longer sessions when I am winning and playing shorter sessions when I am loosing. Does anyone have any advice that could help me with this ?

If anyone has any suggestions on what Tourneys are good to play on FTP? I would like to play @ least 2-3 Tourneys a week.

Whats up everyone ? My name is Mike and I am a new member to cardrunners. I joined the site to improve my skills and meet other professional players. I just recently decided to go Pro and am planning on moving to Vegas as early as Jan. I have been playing for about three years but never really made an attempt or a commitment to play for a living. The decision to go pro was a tough one for me. Five months ago I set a goal for myself ,I told myself if I could turn $10 into $10K I would take a shot. It took me about 3 and a half months to reach my goal of 10K , that was my main decision factor on turning pro. The other factor that played a huge part in my decison was my summer Vegas trip. I went to Vegas for two weeks. I stayed in a house with one of my friends from back home and his roomates , (Jerry Limber) my friend from back home. He plays 5-10 NL ( Michael Katz) a friend I went to school with. He plays 10-25 NL. There roomates where a kid named Cody. I forget his last name. He placed 100th in the Main event this year, Shannon Shorr a well known professional and John Little an up and coming pro. John won the WPT event at the Mirage. I was lucky enough to see it live. It was a cool exprience which changed my perspective on life and poker. I now play on FTP and at the Borgata in Atlamtic City. I love live poker but I mainly play online.

The 3 years before I decided to play for a living I was running a 1-2 NL game twice a week and going to school. I no longer run the game it was a fun two and a half years. I look forward to the upcoming challeges I face ahead.

I will attempt to post an entry one or two times a week. If anyone has any qustions or suggestions for me dont hesitate to contact me @ JaRo1231@aol.com or Im me @ JaRo1231
