I had a pretty decent month, OK my best month ever. I'm a little jaded that I was a coin flip or a better flop away from having a HUGE month. I ended up $615 from stts and mtts this month with a $50 bonus minus $30 from cash for a total profit of $640. I never thought when I started playing online poker 2 years ago that I would be disappointed with a $640 month, this is a weeks wages for most people. I got deep in 2 50/50s and a 24/24. I had my biggest cash ever around 1.3k and I feel like I'm playing the best poker ever.

I've met a bunch of great guys that I consider friends through 2p2. My game has improved by leaps and bounds since meeting these guys and exchanging aim sns. It's nice to have intelligent hh convos, something that is nearly impossible at 2p2's ssmtt forum. It helps having guys that play/think as much if not more about their game as I do and they are a click away on aim. There is no one that lives around me that I can talk poker or even understands the shit mtt players go through, I'm talking about the crappy cashless streaks and getting 5 outed in a big pot.

My arrow is pointing up, that I'm sure of, not being cocky. My biggest crutch is that I need to learn patience. I've had a taste of how successful I can be at $50+ mtts, I just have to wait for my bank roll to grow. It's weird, I feel a desperation if that's the right word to play as much as I can so that I can build my roll, move up and repeat as I'm not getting younger(lol, I'm only 30). I wish I were lucky enough to devote 6 months without work to see how fast I could build my bank roll.

I guess that's enough rambling for one post.
