Feb 2010 Poker Update

Allright Here we go.

Poker Stars $- $299
ROI -16 %
Total Prizes $975
Tournaments/Cashed/ % 12/81 15%
Best Cash: 10th in $5Rebuy for $320
Pokerstars +/- in 2010 : $- 949

Summary: A very frustrating month on Pokerstars to say the least. You saw that right, a 10th place finish, which means that I bubbled the final table of a very big tournament. First place was over $7k, top seven spots where all over $1k. I actually wasn't having very many big losing or winning days on Stars, and then the final few sessions of the month were all triple digit losers which put me negative on there. Also, 15% cashing is not good, that needs to improve.

Full Tilt $ +920
ROI + 103%
Total Prizes $1,869
Tournaments/Cashed/ % 7/89/ 8%
Best Cash: 1st in Daily Dollar for $1601
Fullt Tilt +/- in 2010: + $1088

Summary: Well what do you know I actually won a tournament. On the first of the month I somehow won the crapshoot that is called the Daily Dollar. Sadly that'sabout all I won on FT this month, and tried to play some more $26 tournaments with my new bankroll, bad idea. With the payout structures more top heavy on Tilt, I really need to be more disciplined, so this month I am not going to play any buy ins higher than $12 on the site.

Live Poker: DID NOT PLAY
Again, really hoping to change that.
Month Overall : + $621
2010 Overall: + $141

Life Update first, then a poker update

Gonna do a brief life update before I do all the poker mumbo jumbo in the next entry. (Dane I really don't think people care, nobody really reads this.) Well in case anyone does...

I recently moved into my own apartment in Minneapolis. Like any living situation there are pros and cons, but overall I like it, seem to be able to afford it, and it is nice to leave for work 13 minutes before my shift starts and still arrive early.

However, I am going to need be even more frugal in the next coming months because I once again have decided to coach AAU basketball this spring/summer. I am going to coach younger kids this year, 15 U, so freshmen basically. It is a level that I first coached a few years ago and I think it will be a lot of fun. It is of course volunteer, and since it takes me away from my normal job on weekends (at least Saturday for sure) I may only be getting 3-4 shifts a week for awhile. I didn't think I was going to do it again, but I got so excited when the director of the Magic called me that I just knew it was right.

My former roomate Cory and my brother have really been doing well with their own radio show Jakey and the Ace. Cory has gotten really good at booking guests and so far has landing professional wrestler Ken Anderson, and NFL Network Anchor Scott Hansen. He is thinking about going to Brown College for it, and I might just go with him!
