Longest month ever. I did a rake race with a friend, basically playing non stop the whole month, we played about 8 hours a day each. We didn't run so well expectation wise, but we still managed to make 15000$, so $7500 each or £4100, not a bad month but i am hoping to make more playing my 10 max STT's this month in october.
The whole month was such a grind, im so glad its over, we played over 6000 SNGs together. I'm going to try and not play poker today (Tues 30th) to take a break, but i probably will end up playing, though i really should take a break, i cant help myself, im just a degen. So when i wake up (its 3am now) im going to try and not play, think i will go play some golf, maybe go to the gym for a swim or something, play some PS3, watch some more 24 which ive just started getting into and it is pretty cool so far, Jack Bauer is a pro.
On a side note, i've been swimming a little bit recently, going early in the mornings, its full of old people. They basically group up in a corner and whenever a women comes in the pool they will talk about her looks etc, its pretty funny. Me and Ben decided to label them the OAPC, Old Aged Pool Crew. They also shower naked, which isnt a pleasant site, but when i decided to shower naked myself, i did feel rather blessed. It sucks that im a crap swimmer though. Does anyone want to teach me how to swim?
Back to poker, september was probably my biggest volume month due to the amount we had to play, which i guess is good, because following months will seem easier, especially as it wasnt that fun to play constantly like that. It is a little weird than im not to happy about getting £4000 for a months work, but looking at expectations i should be making a bit more than that by playing 10 mans with less volume.
I will post up some October goals in the next few days, and i really think i will try my best to achieve them.
Hope you had a good september, bring on october.

Life at the new flat.
Hey so me and ben have been in the flat since thursday night now, and we've been putting in some decent volume. On Saturday i played 14 hours, sunday i played 10 hours, monday i played 8 hours, although i did slack a bit yesterday and only played about 6 hours. Once i buy some new stuff for flat, aka nice TV/decorate my room up a bit more, ill post some pics on here, prob wont be till end of september/early october tho.
Poker is going good, i've been doing a rake race with a friend, which basically means we play non stop throughough the month and earn as much rake as possible. At the end of september we will split the 20,000$ between us that we win for the race, not a great amount of $$$ for the time we put in, but its pretty nice. In October tho i will be putting in a shit load of volume on ipoker+ongame 50$+ 10 max, and hoping to put in at least 2.5k games a month, hoping to make at least 10,000$ for the first month and hopefully more on the following. I'm hoping to hit an hourly rate of about 100$/hr, but we will see how the month plays out.
I am also looking to coach+stake a few players, not high limits but basically 10-30$ tournaments to start off with, basically you can play using my money, i will give you personal coaching and we split the $ 50/50, i will start staking in october, im basically offering a complete package which means personal coaching from me, which will help you beat the higher games + improve your game endlessly(unless your better than me;)) and hopefully just make a decent amount of money for the both of us, send me an email or add me on msn @ james_cawley@hotmail.com . If your are living near Cardiff in Wales, id also be willing to give like a 1 week coaching session where you can stay with me + ben and we can just sweat you non stop + just coach. Also im still giving coaching lessons without stake, just send an email/msn to same address.
K, so ill post again soon towards end of september probably with some more october goals, and maybe some september results. x

Slightly Delayed Update...
Ok so haven't posted much and got flamed from some people to update it, so im gunna.
Basically i've been looking for a place to live, opting to move out with my friend ben, whose also a poker player which is just sweet. We finally found somewhere 2 days ago, its a top floor apartment along whitchurch road, pretty cool inside, very spacious, 2 nice double bedrooms, sick kitchen + lounge, gunna be perfect for our poker setup, and grinding with a fellow poker player is gunna be sick in the new flat, looking to put in some heavy days and start making some serious money.
We will be moving in next thursday, ive already payed for and setup internet there so we are ready to go straight away, and you can expect me play alot of volume, and i will be updating my blog alot more in the new place, as i will be playing alot more poker so will have more results to post.
On the poker side of things, i actually played some 6 max again after alot of studying again on the ICM side of the 6 max games, and i still managed to run awful, i made like 8000$, then immediately just went downhill and lost like 12k, so lost like 4k in total(wont be playing em again... keep telling myself that).
Yeh so that was pretty sick, and as i knew i need to make a fair amount of money to have in the bank ready to move out, i just went back to oldschool 10 max STT grinding, basically looked at my main accounts 10 max results.. these are my results/graph for 10 max STTs only...

So for the last week or so i've gone back to 10 max on a new account with a better deal.. didnt run so good at the 50s, but did decently at the lower buyins which compensated, but im sure itll even out at the higher buyins. Anyway my stats so far for them..

yeh so a slight BE period on my new games but i felt i ran really bad and to maintain break even took quite a bit of tilt control ;)
Ok so, ill be updating more, and planning to put alot of volume in september + october. Hopefully it works out good and ill be posting results pretty often.
Also, got badbeated, i bought new golf clubs 2 weeks ago, even though id never played golf before that thought id start with some good clubs, cost about 150£. So was at the driving range yesterday playing around, lining up my shot with the pitching iron, take my swing, as soon as i make connection i notice the club is light as a feather, so i look at the end, theres no iron at the end of it, i look forward, and i can see the end of my club flying past the 50yard mark....
hoping to get a replacement, was funny at the time though :D
