October

The month ended pretty terribly overall had a nice 4k day at a friends house but since then managed to go on quite a bit of a downer one that actually i didnt even realise.

Hem is very unreliable on my computer so i wasnt importing hands until today.

BUT given my recent life situation broken back, currently homeless, broke up with longterm girlfriend and epiliepsy problems i think this month didnt half go well overall.

End result

Starting bankroll: $26790

end bankroll: $49190

profit for backers: $11095

jan217: 5.55% $616.38
Z1pz0r: $1356.05
mindan: $8814.36
lydia: $308.19

Profits will be sent asap.

For november we have a starting bankroll of $30k as Maritsula has 10% for $3000

The plan will be to play anyone up to nl200 till 5k+ profit anyone at nl400 till 10k profit and anyone at nl600+ at 15k or more profit.

The volume of this month will likely be hugely lacking. I have no stable home (am currently couch surfing and internet is unreliable also my main pc is broken and having to use an old laptop.)

hopefully this will all be sorted asap.

Congrats on ending the month in profit!

Just wondering how did you get to the numbers you are shipping us?

When I try to do the calculation I get roughly the same number but not exactly so just wondering :P

Also did I miss something or is it a typo or why do I have 5.55%?

Pucilpet dropped out making the overall bankroll smaller. This in turn increased your % of the stake and therefore your profits also.

November

End result

Starting bankroll: $30000

End bankroll: $23057.37

November was a hugely wasted month on my part most of it spent becoming a bit degenerate excessive drinking(not whilst playing) and bad table selection for which I have to apologise.

Profits from last month I've yet to send I had all 3 payment methods ask me for verification of my address which I don't have with me.

I've managed in the past day to sort out Neteller and spent the best part of today sorting out Pokerstars too.

I will be making more regular updates as of this month atleast weekly as I will be playing fulltime again.

December action plan

0-10k makeup play up to 600nl 6max games and good headsup games
10k+ makeup take off all 6max games and play only headsup bumhunting up to 600nl

0-5k profit open sit 200nl 6max games and play up to nl1k decent games
5-10k profit open sit 400nl 6max
15k+ profit open sit 1knl 6max

@maritsula I played hu zoom and found the player pool at 200/500 and 1k to be of high calibre probably not worth playing until pokerstars changes its headsup lobby policies.

profit still owed:

Jan217: 5.55% $616.38 (sent)
Z1pz0r: $1356.05 (sent)
mindan: $8814.36 (sent)
lydia: $308.19 (sent)

had a few sessions today all 6max on pkr. the games were very good and could've shown a big profit when the big fish were around but unfortunately other regs got the hands before I did.

I hope volume wise i'll continue like this throughout the month.

had another few sessions today 1 of which went horribly with 3 juicy 3/6 games running.

Make-up reached 10k so as promised I've reverted to only headsup.

This is causing some problems though as
1) my laptop cannot handle all 3 sites on at once

2) there is not much action going on i was playing nl100 hu zoom but the games were suprisingly tough.

Plan for tomorrow will be to continue playing nl100 hu zoom till I get other games.

I think it'd be best both for volume and overall winnings if i shot 6max games on pkr again once makeup is back under 10k. Please let me know if you'd prefer me to stick to just headsup though.

Been using tough table selection to get makeup back under 10k.

I will take another shot at 6max tomorrow starting with only 200nl till $8k makeup then adding 400 and 600 games.

I will go back and stick with headsup for the remainder of the stake if this last shot goes bad and i hit 12k makeup.

6max has been abit meh so far keep finding amazing tables at 1/2 and .5/1 but not managing to get the right spots.

the plan is the same as last time continue playing 200nl max until i either hit 8k makeup or less or 12k makeup where i go to playing soley headsup.

A number of factors may be resulting in my current bad form.

1) I've had to start taking a form of epilepsy medication because of my last fit which, although I dont feel that different can cause problems with concentration. The correlation between when i started taking the medication and $ winnings is quite dramatic.

2) I don't have a grind spot on which to play without distractions. This to be fair has been since early august But it is quite annoying having noone respect the fact that i am trying to work. ( i have tried to look for short term office leases in my area but i have to pay for atleast 3 months and im looking to leave as soon as i've sorted everything out with doctors.)

I will definitely review the best course of action at the end of the month. I would like to invite all backers if they would like to have a group conversation (skype) regarding the stake on Monday the 6th of January 8pm (gmt) If that time is not appropriate please suggest alternatives.

For the interest of keeping simplicity I will extend the end of month period to the 6th of January rather than 31st of December.
