Overall 2009 was a good year. I played a little over 1400 MTTs with an ABI of $11. I had $5,100 profit online with a 31.8% ROI. Not too shabby. I had 4 online wins in 2009. One in the Stars $8.80 15k guarantee turbo for $3,572, one in a $5 FTP KO tournament and then I won the Stars $11 1k guarantee HORSE tourney and one of those $3 turbo rebuy 180-mans.

I also made a good run in Event 16 of the California State Championships in May. It was a 2-day event with a $220 buy-in and had...

I haven't updated my blog since the end of May so I thought I'd do so. My, how time flies. The reason for the big gap in bloggage is because of the job I spoke of in my previous blog and since I'm working 40 hours a week now, I haven't been playing too much poker. I really like the job tho. It's fun to watch people gamble all night.

The only bad thing about this job is the fact that I'm on graveyard shift (10pm-6am) right now. I had a really hard time adjusting at first but now...

Alright, here we are again at the end of another month. April was a pretty good month for me all in all. It wasn't a huge volume month though as I was doing a lot of job hunting and also sticking to the lower volume days like I talked about in my previous blogs. I'm happy to report that the job hunting paid off as I got a job as a casino gaming associate. I'm in training right now which ends on May 22nd so I should be in the casino (The Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, CA) the following week. Basically...

OK boys and girls. Wait, do we have any girl members here? Anyways, March is over and I thought I'd write a blog piece to close out the month.

March was a good month for me after the horribleness that was February. For those of you who read my blog regularly, you'll remember from my last blog entry that I was going to be cutting down my volume from 20-30 MTTs a day down to around 10-15 a day. So far that has been working great. It's really allowed me to be more relaxed and focused....

OK, a lot of you saw my threads in the On The Rail fourm this past weekend and one of the things I talked about was toning down my volume. In February, which was my worst month ever, I was playing sometimes like 24-28 MTTs a day all on a 15" laptop, sometimes 8-9 tabling. threeven was living with me for the month and we were bent on grinding hard for the month. I took a break after he went back to Zona and reflected on the month. The volume issue was one of the big things I noticed that, looking...
