April Report!


PROFIT month cheers! but I'm pretty disappointed with how my month ended. Variance caught up with me and I ran pretty awful at the end of the month. Whatever that can go wrong just went wrong on the table and there is nothing I can do about it.

Due to pure laziness, I had played lesser volume of hands, I went on tilt at the end of around 1k hands which I spewed away two buyins which is deadly and I stop playing for the last 3 days of month due to how bad I ran. Discipline is one of the most important factors for you to succeed in poker therefore I have to be back on track to play more hands in May and stay cool headed. I got no idea if posting my graph in monetary term with profit/loss is a good idea but I am going to post it for this month report.


Total Volume: 41,534 hands
Profit: 405.97 + 841.76 (VIP Reward) = 1247.73 USD

I know I am not the best online cash game player on PKR nl50 but I expected myself to earn much more as the players I am playing against, were not the greatest. Like what @Flixx had said in his #grindingitup episode, 'No point whining about the weather since you can't change it'. If they ran good against me then there is nothing I can do to change it! I just hope to play them against before they give out their money to other players.

PKR traffic is getting lower and lower constantly and I hardly able to grind nine tables at their peak hours and therefore, I had to change a new grinding site to hit more volume of hands. I have not decide to play on Pokerstars or Full tilt poker but both site does not offer rakeback deal which is a little meh. I have not set a target for the number of hands I want to play in May as I am going to grind on mainly on another site.

There are quite a number of things I want to accomplish in May,

  • Finish reading long overdue Mental Game of Poker 2
  • Have a schedule for exercising
  • Start learning Spanish
  • More HH analysis with my poker friend. 
  • Get a Job!
That sums up for my entire April. Good luck to everyone on the tables and wish me luck on new grinding site!
