Well today was a very busy day but I managed to get just over 2k hands in poker...and it was definitely a wild ride. I started off +300 immediately in like 300 hands, then all the sudden I ran into a bunch of sick beats and coolers. I lost two 2 outers in 50 hands... ended up being down 80 and I quit for a few hours.
Went back to the grind later at night and ended up playing about 1500 hand session and made 6 buy ins to make for a +$550 day. Feels good to have this day after yesterday where I couldnt win anything...
So now Im laying in bed with my wireless keyboard/mouse and wathing a CR video and typign this blog... and I realize that my life is pretty sweet for a 19 yr old college student... and I have pretty much everything I could ever want right now. I definitely consider myself very lucky to be making money playing a game. I had a few thoughts that I wanted to add to my September goals list...
Poker Goals: *Study/learn PLO
*4 table 25PLO for atleast 5k hands this month
*Datamine whenever Im not on the compute, both 100NL
and 100NL HU
*Play a few thousand hands of HU, 4 tabling
*Practice good game selection, especially for HU tables
Ive been wantting to learn PLO for awhile now and it seems everyone is starting to play it because theres a lot of money to be made. Also I have always done pretty well in HU and I want to play some more of it, I dont plan on playing more than 5k hands of HU or PLO however because Im really focused on my 50k hands of 6max.
Thats all I can think of for now, I have till August 31st to think and add ore goals, but I think thats gonna be about it. Bedtime, class in 6 hours!
Night.

Seriously back at it... Seriously...
Ok Ive been back in San Diego for a few days now and school just started the other day, Im excited for another year here living in a house with 3 of my best friends from high school... should be tons of great times. Im taking 19 units this semester of really hard classes, 3rd year spanish, calculus, critical thinking/writing, and econ... so I will have a ton of work ahead of me but Im looking forward to the challenge.
Ive played about 12k hands since getting back and have been up and down, but overall doing ok running at 4BB/100 and up just over $1,100. I hope to keep the momentum going into September which is going to be a HUGEEE month for me. I have a bunch of goals that I thought about all day today in class and at home... first I'm going to post my poker goals, and then just for myself Im gonna post some life goals. This is going to be an intense month and a lot of work if I plan to reach my goals, but I always look forward to a challenge.
Starting with Poker Goals:
*Play 50k+ hands at strictly 100NL
*Play 10 tables on my desktop, and 6 on laptop/TV in bed
*Play a solid tag 17-19/15-17 game
*Make atleast 3 blog posts per week, including HHs and analysis
*Frequent and post at 2p2 and CR
*Make a 100NL video and post on CR Member Contributions
*Satty into atleast one Sunday Major or WCOOP event
Thoughts on these goals... 50k hands should be no problem for me... and since I started 10 tabling my game went from a 18/15 to a 15/13... which is obvious but I want to loosen it back up. I absolutely want to be more involved with my blog and also the forums... even if nobody reads this... Ive wanted to make a video for awhile now, I dont know how great it would bebut I want to give it a shot. I used to satty into lots of Sunday Mills back when I was a SnG player and would do the double shootouts... I want to play atleast one major this month again just to have some fun.
Life Goals:
*Always make school work 1st priority.
*Spend less money
*Gym/Run 4x a week
*Read up on LA/NYTimes daily
*Read one leisure book
*Read 2 of my new investing books
*Eat healthier
*Get my adult league bball team going again
*Work on building my new computer
And now some thoughts on these goals... this summer I have been spending money like crazy... put about $2500 into my room... eating out a lot... going on vacations... I really need to mellow out now that Im back in school. I also stopped my routine of gym 5x a week this summer and I need to get back into that (also eating better). One thing I did do this summer was a lot of reading.. I read about 5 books, and I bought 3 investing books that I wanna read. Lastly me and my roommmate are both in the process of building our own CPUs, went out and got a sick case the other day... I want to have it finished by end of October
Oh and me and 6 guys from high school are all in San Diego and 5 of us were on the basketball team, Im getting us signed up for a very high caliber adult league that we are going to OWN.
Ok! Thats it, many more posts to come in September, for now I just want to finish August real strong and get some personal shit done.

Overdue Update..
Well I realize not many people check this but I kind of feel guilty because I commited myself to a group for July's low limit grinders group and felt like I was going to be a great help to all the guys... unfortunately I ended up enjoying my social life way to much and went on vacations for over half the month. I only logged 20k hands in (15k of those were in 3 days) and I made about $900. Really disappointing month pokerwise but Ive been enjoying the hell out of summer... so I guess its good for me.
Im moving back to San Diego mid August and school starts August 27th, I plan to get back into the grind full time then and log 40k+ hands a month like I used to. Summer was great and Im gonna enjoy these last few days... going to Lake Tahoe with my gf and 9 of my other friends on Monday-Thursday which will be a absolute blast. My girlfriend's dad bought 2 jetskis and is renting a boat/wakeboards for us.
Well I just wanted to make a quick post explaining myself. I see that the group I was in made awesome progress in July and are going to continue to sweat/talk to eachother which is great and Im really happy for them. I wish I would have had more time to contribute to developing some relationships with those guys as they are all great poker minds and would help my game tremendously.
Hope everyone has a good August and runs well in poker. Peace.
