A proper update

It’s been a while since I posted and I think we’re due a full update. Things on the whole are going really well and I must admit that I’m having a great time playing full time.

It’s been a bit broken up since I finished work. I stopped Mid March so didn’t get going until the second half of the month and then went on holiday so up until this month I’ve probably only played for about 5 weeks and put in 70k hands total for March and April. I’ve got a full month in May and am looking for about 50k hands, more if possible but 50k min.

As I’m not withdrawing any of my roll I rely on my RB for a wage so volume is pretty important to me. The last couple of months I’ve taken home £1k each month which is £200 less than work but I’ve no doubt spent less so it’s all good. Besides this month should be more with a better VIP level so hopefully be nearer a £2k wage.

With regards to actual results they’ve been great. I thought my game was pretty good up to this point but I’m learning all the time still and I’ve changed a few things which I’m really happy about. Below are stats and graph from when I turned ‘pro’. I’ve used USD for you all as I imagine it’s easier

As you can see things are really well and my BR is a very healthy £12.5k / $18.7k

This will prob be my last month grinding 100nl full time, I played a bit of 200nl last month and it went well but I just want to get another solid month under me before moving up.

I’d like to withdraw some cash over and beyond the RB this month to pay off some bills so that may slow things down but other than that I’m really happy and enjoying the life style.

On a sour note, Chelsea won the Premiership and will probably win the FA Cup too. Oh well.

What site do you play at? What did you do before going pro? (Im going to read your previous blog entries, so that may answer my questions.)

Good luck.

I play on Ipoker and I used to be an editorial assistant at a law publishing firm. I'm a trained journalist but didn't pursue it too much as I'm only interested in writing sports/poker.

This is keeping me busy!

I just read every one of your blog posts. I am 19 years old and a student, been playing poker for a year. You're a real inspiration, good luck.
