November Report

November was my worst full month since I went full time nine months ago. I certainly didn't have the run of cards in general this month (tonight alone I was due an extra $1,000 from All In luck!!) but no complaints- I'm sure I had my fair share of luck during my $25k+ month in October. It all evens out long term.

My play was OK in general but I certainly had some spells of poor play too. I also moved up from 12 tables to 16 tables this month and that took a little adjusting to and it definitely hurt my BB/100 initially.

Total: $13,816

Hours: 173

Average Rate1: $80/hr

Average Rate2: $461/day

Rake Earned: $3,751 (included in above total)

Losing Days: 8

$1k+ Days: 11

Best Day: +$2,187

Worst Day: -$1,221

Total Hands: 138,832

$1/$2 BB/100: 2.91 (Last month was 7.91)

On the plus side, I had that $2k win in the Ironman freeroll. I also made $10.6k from a couple of sports bets; so it was a $24k profit month in total- just not all from poker! :)

Nice work, do you mind me asking why you don't play 6max ?

Smart Money said...

Because I don't think I could play as long sessions or play as many tables (because more thought is needed) and therefore I wouldn't make as much.

I agree with Sonnie - what a muppet call.......how can you call that........he/she/it has a set and with that massive bet of 10$ doesnt give you ANY odds to call......how can you fish with an open ended straight........its fish like you that make me sick!!!!!!! Lol

I had the same yesterday when my AA vs his KK all in preflop hit a q92 board and he hit T and J - then he gives me grief!!!! But I was a KUNT, not a muppet

So are you kermit, miss piggy or gonzo?

Hey sir, great blog!

I'm just wondering, how do you manage to play 140,000 hands in a month? How many hours/tables do you play if you don't mind me asking? :)

Smart Money said...

Typically around 15 tables for 6 hours a day.
