frustrating week
by Adam on Aug.25, 2010, under poker
broke even this week. Lots of ups and downs. I play some higher buy in games and ran bad, either losing flips/70s or running into monster hands. Also, I went deep in just about every turbo mtt but I have been bubbling everything. Sometimes I get a gut feeling before making a shove that I am going to lose… almost always my gut is right. It’s a weird intuition thing that I should follow more. I did manage to get a 2nd in a 3r180 yesterday which helped. I’m up around 3k this month and only played 2 and half weeks so that’s actually really good.
I have been contemplating making a run for supernova so I can start 2011 that way. However, I have so few vpps right now I’m not sure I’ll make it unless either I move up to higher buy ins, or grind a ton of hours. Right now I need 78,000 vpps to get to SN by the end of the year. That is equivalent to paying $14,200 in rake, or $3550 per month for the last 4 months of the year. I think the only way I could get there is if I start playing a ton of hyper turbos. Even then I’m not sure I will have the time. Unless I win a huge score at the wcoop, I will probably just stick to my grind and keep building my bankroll.
Lately I have had to cashout a lot for bills and various expenses related to moving. My roll is very, very comfortable for the games I play, but it is not comfortable if I want to take shots. I am setting a goal to get my BR over $30k by the end of this year, and over $100k by the end of next year.
