Started off as usual flew up then went back down and leveled out for a bit but finally my luck has turned, winning 55/45s and 50/50s splitting pots that should be split and my hands are holding and as a result I won $16,012 which includes rakeback and blackcard member bonus which is half way through a $2k bonus so will get the rest this month hopefully.
Still in Thailand and loving it, however I cant get in touch with the bloke I have the 2nd villa with for the other 2 months of my stay which is a bit worrying. Hopefully he will turn up if not I have only lost the deposit but it means I have to search for another place to stay.
The winnings this month means that I have now reached my yearly goal of $100,000. My profit for this year with rakeback and bonuses now stands at $102,296. As there is 2 months left I am hoping my yearly profit will be around the $125k mark. I am very happy to have reached my target already but I really do think I could have done a lot better this year. Only time will tell next year but I hope to make at least $25k more next year. There are a few months here looking at the side bar where I just ran really bad which of course is variance but also bad play through tilt. If I can just remove that I can make at least another $25k easy!
Anyway hope your all enjoying the cold weather at home in europe :P

Shit month again
Got off to a great start, went on MEGAAAAAAAAAAAA tilt and lost loads then won back some then lost some then won back some then lost some lol. Story of the month really and a month to forget. With rakeback and bonuses I ended up with $3600 for the month, PATHETIC and not enough.
This month got off to a great start again and then through bad luck/tired and tilted play I lost it back but this morning I have just won it back again so I am about £900 up for the month so far + rakeback + I have cashed in a $2000 blackcard bonus which is a new type of bonus store on FullTilt. Still pisses me off though only being credited $20 a time, I just want them to hold it until the full $2000 has been earned.
Thailand is great, it was shit at first, I hated Bangkok and Pattaya, disgusting places really, full on in your face, dirty, smelly and annoying but now I am in Samui it is like a paradise. Kuala Lumpur was a great place to visit and I wouldnt mind going back there again.
Need to get myself back into winning ways this month, just glad to be in this villa now so spending money has slowed right down and I am enjoying playing poker a lot more in the comfort of a house rather than a horrible dirty hotel room. Did I tell you that pattaya is horrible??
Good luck anyway

Bad end to what was a good month
I ended the month $10,300 in profit but somehow I feel sick as fuck and pissed off that I am not up more. I lost about $4400 in the last 2 days of the month or so and although I have won it back already this month it just feels like I am down.
I have to admit, reviewing my play in July I was awful, tilt set in through sheer horrible badbeats and I was just wanting to gamble and although I was getting it in most times as 55 or 60% fav it doesnt matter, I am a better player than to just rely on coin flipping with people I should just own.
Still had some bad luck last month but I feel it has turned around now, I am playing better and also getting a few outdraws in myself now and again which feels good.
I fly to Thailand in 10 days and I just pray that the internet is good and stable enough over there for me to play poker without having to worry about timing out every few minutes.
Gambling wise I had a good start to the month winning a few bets but towards the end as always they get it back lol. As long as I am not losing though it doesnt matter too much as its just purely for entertainment.
This month has started well so I am hoping it could be a very good month that would mean I could relax a lot more for my months in Thailand. Looking forward to just sitting in the pool at the villa in the sun with a nice cold beer!
This months winnings means that I am $82,600 up for the year and just $17,400 away from my yearly target. I will be very happy if I can meet that target by the end of this month :)
Good luck!

July was a shit month
Ended the month $3900 up, proper gutted really, I have been playing high stakes this month $500 and $1k sngs and I have ran so bad in them. Just general shit like PP vs overs, overs v PP, Ace face vs ace rag etc just lost all of that stuff. Played a bit out of my bank roll really and will be taking a step back this month and back to the grind. Thailand is in less than 45 days so I need to get myself right before I head out there.
Had a long session on the horses this month, won about £4k in 2 days then lost most of it back, not really arsed to be honest its just for fun but a bit stupid really. I have got a screen shot of my monthly graph below, kind of sick really the swings this month.
Just looking over it now I had a near enough $10k down swing mid way through the month a couple of 2k, 3k and 4k down swings also. Higher stakes are sick but the rewards can be so much greater.
One thing I have realised this month is how blessed I am with the discipline I have after seeing other players just tilt day in day out and trying to teach my friend how to play I have realised that not tilting as much as I used to is such a key in this game. Some people lose 1 game and tilt for the whole day just because of 1 bad beat.
I have ran so bad in the last month and even the start of this month but I have managed to keep my head for most of it and I know long term it will pay off for me.
Going to stay in for the whole month near enough this month, put the hours in and hopefully reap the rewards.
Good luck at the tables!

End of June review
Well I fucked up towards the end, jet lagged I played tired and done about $3k in 3 days so my monthly result not too good. Took a break for a couple of days and slept loads so now over it I think.
$7200 was the end of the month figure, well below my expectations but Vegas took a lot out of me. I am well up on the world cup now after a good few days betting in the last 16. Going to calm down a bit now with the quarter finals as the games are much tougher.
If I don't at least double what I made this month in July I will be disappointed! On a plus side I am well ahead of my $100k yearly target I am currently on $68,484 for 6 months. I now feel I can make at least $150k this year hopefully more.
Good luck!

Vegas done with!
Well it didn't go as well as I planned, lost about $10k on blackjack and roulette and about $5k on sports bets. I am really not bothered about losing the money although it would have been nice if I didn't. What really pissed me off was how bad I was running. Every time I was building up my bets on blackjack to $250-$300 a hand I was getting sick hands like splits, double downs against dealers 5 and 6 showing and I was getting things like 20 and dealer would hit 21 on every crucial hand. What pissed me off the most was I just couldn't win at all, you want at least some enjoyment out of spending your money. Each time I got a T everyone was getting 9s, 10s, aces etc I was getting 2s, 3s, 4s and having to hit and was busting all the time.
Oh well, didn't play much poker there, got absolutely smashed one night and done about $400 in 5 mins on cash table then staggered off to the sports book to waste more money. On the 2nd night I ended up getting alcoholic poisoning, the bar tender was giving us near enough half pint shots of patron which is just ridiculous! Ended up waking up the next day with a sink full of sick lying fully clothed in bed and unable to move. Didn't really drink much after that, 5 days later I had managed to drink 3 bud lights in a night.
Online poker has took a huge back seat this month from playing golf, going out for meals and getting drunk, world cup betting and vegas I have hardly played but I am still up enough to cover some losses and pay the bills. I will post a final update at the end of the month with profit or loss. One thing I never do when I am in Vegas is go the pool, mainly because I am fair skinned and burn really easy its pointless me sitting in 120 degree eat and just cooking myself alive. This time though I went to the palazzo pool a few times and loved it, if I go back there I will definitely be going to the pool every day. Some amazing sights to be seen there!
Anyways I basically need the argies to win the World Cup to get my losses back on it haha. If they win I fancy going to Thailand a few months earlier or going to Spain for a week or two for a golf trip.
When I was in Vegas all I wanted to do was come home, but now I am back home I realise how lucky I was to be out there and maybe should have tried to enjoy myself more rather than let the table games control my trip. The women in this country although there are some stunners are just miserable stuck up women who think they are too good for everyone. In Vegas these girls would be nothing not even 4s or 5s. Really is amazing how many beautiful women there is there and they are all friendly and not stuck up.
So my plan for next month is rebuilding to get a lot of funds together for Thailand and play loads of golf as I have just bought myself a new set of Callaway irons and Taylor Made Burner woods the difference it has made to my game already is unreal.
Always nice to catch up with Azi and Punterz as always and looking forward to the next trip next year.
Good luck at the tables ;)

A good month allround
With Vegas only 13 days away I needed a decent month this month and it came. Up and down on the gambling front. Won a few £3ks and lost a £3k on Chelsea in the FA Cup final but ended up a fair bit overall at the end of the month.
Poker was great this month, I turned my bankroll from $2k to $13k as I have decided I want to play higher stakes. Been playing some $500 sngs and have been running like shit in them to be honest but I am still making profit.
My profit for the month ended up on $27,134 which is my best month so far. I just need to get another month like that for June under my belt and the rest of the year should be stress free.
My aim is to get my balance to $20,000 then have a little break from bankroll building and start with bank account building as I want to invest in property. Eventually I would like my balance on $50,000 so I can play $1k games with confidence. It will obviously be a lot harder at them stakes but I am confident I can still win at that level.
Looking forward to meeting up with Azimut, Animal, DC, Ewan and a few other possibilities in Vegas which is looking to be the best Vegas trip so far.
Good luck at the tables!

I have a dream.............................
Well I had a dream, fell asleep last night and threw £400 on Chelsea to beat my team Liverpool, I was so desperate for them to win to stop Man Utd winning the league, anyway I set my alarm so I could wake up in time for the game.
With the game on my mind whilst I was asleep I actually dreamt about it. In my dream I was sat in the stands watching the game and Drogba scored the first goal and Chelsea won 2-0.
Anyway after waking up I thought sod it I will give it a go, no way in a million years would I waste £100 on a scorecast but I thought I would trust my instincts.
Anyway the game finished 2-0 to Chelsea and drogba scored the first goal looool. 25/1 I got which is a bit shit considering Chelsea were away from home but I am still happy with it.
On the poker front I have made a flying start to this month long may it continue!
VIVA LAS VEGAS!

End of April review
Month started great, evened out then went good then just 5 days before the end of the month I do $3000 in one night lol. Not bad overall made $8100 plus up slightly on betting.
Vegas in just over a month, I can't wait. Palazzo sorted for the full stay now just looking forward to some nice cocktails and gamblingggggggggg.
Nothing much to put here, my tattoos have started, I am having my arm sleeved with wildlife. Sea based on 1 arm, jungle based on the other. Hoping for that to be finished before I go to Thailand.
Good luck at the tables!

What a shit fucking month!!
Same like Jan, boring boring boring.
Just finally installed Holdem Manager and seen that I am 28 buy ins below EV. That doesn't tell the whole story really, cooler after cooler this month, KK v AA, QQ v AK, AK v AA and a load of other bullshit I wont bore you with.
I am in profit for the month but considering what I spend each month it doesn't cover the bills. Huge improvement in luck and form needed for April although the first few games fulltilt are obviously taking April fools day a bit too far.
Profit for March with rake back and bonuses - $3750 :(
