The good and The bad. Month 3

 

Scroll down if you just want to see my monthly results!

Another month down and i am so ready to turn the page and start september. While i did make quite a lot of money, the run was not enjoyable. Every tournament i played seemed like it was out to get me, all the crazy bubbles, final table bad beats and a break even cash grind. Crazy to think this is the best month i have had in Short deck so far. Running bad always seems to build character and i did a fair bit of learning(i really need to learn some preflop charts). Hopefully september will be a dull grind, i have had enough of swings. I started the month up around 2.1k€ but it really did cool down a bit as every single tournament seemed to have a bad beat in store for me like this one :

Lovely right? I guess you have to take these on the chin and move forward.

Anyhoo, lets get into my month.

Cash game graph is pretty bleak, take out the rake and i am barely profiting at all. The big swings were all from shots in nl10 , i definitely have a hate relationship with that limit and do not look forward to playing that, the hourly is just so bad and the swings get pretty big.

On to the tournaments, while i did have quite a few 100$+ cashes, i did also have quite a lot of buy ins. The biggest win obviously came from a Zodiac event win, for 1592€, you can read about it here.

I never seem to get lucky in the 21$-31.50$ tournaments though, hopefully this will change as i am not even looking forward to playing them again. I will post some bigger scores and some bad beats, those are always fun right?

 Not too bad eh? A lot of value but not a lot of results, all of these are from final tables so a few holds could have changed my month drastically. But this is poker, if it was easy everybody would do it.

This looks like a bitter rant, but it really isnt, this game is so much fun and i love the swings even if they sometimes can seriously tilt you up.

I did manage to hit a lot of flip outs at least, oh and this jackpot, well i didnt hit this but somebody at my table did and i got some crumbs, sweet!

Lets get on to the flip outs!

A quick calculation shows that we made bank!  A total of 487$ , added to that around 40$ in rakeback, 50$ from leaderboards and we are a true rake back warrior, profiting with rake is awesome.

August profits : 1339€

• Goal : 5476€/40000€  

My investments are taking a big hit during this economic down turn, but the poker profits leave it to dust!
