wow... pretty sick month. Alot of stuff has been going on, BOCP HU and ME were sick and I played INSANELY good, incredibly happy with how my live game has been, so couldnt ask for more there. Stuck in France due to some ridiculous laws with the puppy and the lame french government, so wife is back home in states at our new house and im here til Dec. 16th or so =/.

Anyways, online has been ridiculous, I think I set the record for most HU SNGs played in a month (obv largely due to FTP's super turbos).

Profit for the month from playing: $44,140.06
Rakeback from FTP: $7,155
Rake Race (2nd): $2,500
Rakeback from Stars: $1,081.84

Total:
------

+$54,876.90

Obv super sick, my best month previous to that was +35k, so a big jump, very very happy about it, even though most of it goes to taxes for the year :P.

Some graphs:

Crushing

-----------------

So a few updates. It's been a super super sick month so far, I started +12k in first 5-ish days, and have taken a couple days off since then and been traveling all month, and am now currently:

+20,742.42

Really hoping the rest of the month goes even remotely this smoothly (obv). I've had one losing day so far, for -227. I'd say this month has been 70% 4-mans, 10% 2-mans, 20% super turbos. I'm up about 4k on super turbos, the majority of the rest through 4mans, and then a few k from 2mans.

Belgium

---------------

Off tomorrow v early in the morning to belgium, going to hang out w/Spamz0r (Mientjeuh) and hopefully learn a bunch, grind a bunch of HU SNGs, and crush his soul in Tekken :).

Then it's offff to the BCOP and the ME and Team HU Event. I have 100% of myself for the Team HU, so it will be by FAR the biggest buyin ive ever played (about 4k) out of my own pocket, hope we shippp!!!!

 Ok, going to be brief cause i'm a bit tired (In France atm).

Started the month -11.6k , largely due to being -7k of buying action, recovered so im super happy about that, here it goes:

Graph THROUGH 23rd of Oct (when I came to Europe and my laptop didn't have HEM):

Final Stats for the month:

Profit before rakeback: $5,543
Profit from Rakeback: $3,721.10
Total Profit: $9,264.10

EV would have put me at $15,715.55 for the month, but I can't complain, def. gonna top it next month.

Exactly 1 year ago I was scammed for all my $$$ basically and then I recovered with a 35k November, I grinded a TON that month and this month i'll be in Europe traveling, so I doubt i'll be able to repeat, but my goals are:

[ ] 15k month (rakeback incl.)
[ ] Enjoy Budapest / europe w/wife
[ ] buy foosball table / TV / surround sound for house

So it has yet to be tested, but this should work. Live streaming of the The LittlewoodsPoker World Heads-Up Poker Championship 2009! Dates and times for streams should be approx as follows:

12:00 GMT 29 Oct

16:00 GMT 29 Oct (Estimate)

12:00 GMT 30 Oct

12:00 GMT 31 Oct

18:00 GMT 31 Oct (Estimate)

[GMT is approx FOUR hours ahead of EST at the moment, it's typically 5 but cause of european daylight savings time it's only 4, so 16:00 GMT (when my match is), is noon EST, and 12:00 GMT is 8:00am EST]

Hrmmmm, it seems like the stream isn't formatting correctly in my blog, so please feel free to watch it at www.pokerineuropelive.com :)

yo guys, have to run pretty quick, but wanted to give an update:

Only 42 players, so that was dissapointing, and a SICK hard field, players in this small field include:

Myself, The Camel, DiBasio, Dario Minieri, AlfiosNob, Sorel Mizzi (Zangbezan/Imperium), Roland De woolf, R romanello, and a ton of other FTP pros / english pros, i mean Roland and Romanello arent top HUSNGrs, but I still havent seen a super soft spot all tourney, which is ridiculous.

I got a bye round 1, and beat R Romanello (FTP Pro) in round 2.

Day off today

Play Rivermani on Thursday at 4pm (noon EST)

1 match on Friday (if i'm through)

and the final 4  / Finals on Saturday

So 2 more wins til i'm ITM, 4 more wins to win it all.  Payout is something like 25k / 25k / 50k / 100k, so glglglgl me :). Both myself and The Camel are in it, DiBasio busted, and I didnt get to see the end of dario/alfiosnob's matches

I'll keep you updated =]
