May turned out to be a very good month - it was tied for around my 2nd highest profit month on the year, and im not too far off of last years profit......i had one 10k hit this month, and about 8 3k+ hits......site by site, I believe AP/FTP continued to be my biggest winners -I know I won on Cake - on Stars I either broke even or was a slight loser - Stars continues to be my downfall but Im confident itll turn....Ive been having deeper runs on there but continue to run bad deep, but Im sure its gonna pan out eventually - I think I have like 2-3 wins on there this year! The last two weeks were interesting on the month - I went on a 7k downer towards the end but bounced back on last Friday with a win in the 50r AP and the 66 buy in ap, for a combined 8200...the 50r was funny cause I had rebought a couple times and was in for 400 - I was pretty annoyed with the situation but continued to steal until I got some double ups.....with two tables left I chipped up to the CL and continued to chip up......the field was weak, weaker then usual - I will say fridays are a very soft day for mtts - the fields are smaller and weak which leads to alot of overlay...the 66 AP was very soft - I had gotten aroudn the money bubble with 10 bbs and eventually won a couple all ins, had a suckout and had 30-40 bbs.....from there I chipped up, picked up alot of hands and dominated the field.....the ft was super weak- I dont think I got 3 bet once that tournament outside of value hands - when we got shorthanded I lost a huge hand with KK to AK, but after shoving a couple times in spots where they should of called any two, I got 10 bbs back, then 20 then ended up shipping it......all in all was a nice day to get some confidence back and get me back to the peak of the month...
Im looking forward to June and crushing it - hopefully I can knock out another 20k+ month - I think if I get in 350-400 mtts a month 20k is very doable.....I was thinking the other day how the money isnt a factor at all anymore - I have a really strong drive to compete and I truly love this game - winning a tournament whether its a 5 dollar or 1k is amazing and it feels great to battle people on a mental level and come out victorious.......the money is great but its not why I play anymore - I think a year ago I was very money motivated but now the competition drives me....it definitely gets easier to focus on the fun of the game when you have a nice financial cushion, but either way ill continue to put in the hours and grind it out

shipped a 2nd triple crown
ended up shipping a 2nd triple crown - had a win in that 75 buy in for 10k, won the ap 50r for like 5k, then the cake 109 for 3kish....it was cool to win another - its not really something that requires much skill just being able to grind and run good across 3 sites....since then Ive had some small wins here and there - think I won the 50r again and won the cake 162 as well - anyways profit wise im doing really well on the month - think its going to be tied for my 2nd biggest month on the year - yearly wise my profits are not too far off from my yearly 2009 profit, so thats exciting....would be amazing to match my 2009 profits by the end of the june, but either way Im very happy where Im headed for 2010.....Ive been adding more and more 320s to my schedule - I think the best bang for the buck is the 1/4 mil on stars on wednesday - its a 320 buy in with about 900-1k runners - the average play is probably equal to that of a 501r1a, so value wise its great.....Id imagine my roi could be say 30% in that, or 90 dollars profit everytime I play it. Ive also been playing the 1001r1a on Tilt - its not as great of a value as the 1/4 mil - the average table is alot tougher but even at a 15-20% roi thats still around 60 dollars profit per....its also cool being able to play with some great players and learning to adjust to their game....moorman is a great example of someone who just rapes you nonstop - you raise, he 3 bets, u 3 bet his raise, he 4 bets - its nonstop with him and someone you hate to see at your table......hopefully one day i can terrorize players

nice week
Had a pretty sick week although Mon/Tues were the winning days...Monday I won the tilt 75 buy in for 10k, Tuesday went 4th in the 60k tilt for 7600, won the 50r for 5500, then chopped the 20k 6 max for another 5300 or so......had a funny hand in the 75k where a guy opened, I had Q4dd and decided to 3bet in position....he called flop came A9J two diamonds....he led out with 20k into a 32k pot, I shoved like 60-70k more, he calls with 78dd - luckily I held and picked up a ton of chips....the ft though didn't go as planned - ran TT into AA 5 handed, then JJ into QQ 4 handed to bust...the 75 buy in did go very smoothly - if anyone cares I uploaded the HH to PXF so if your interested respond back and ill post the link...
taking the day off today, maybe grinding tomorrow - we'll see.....ive been debating going to vegas for wsop - I really dont care to play the live events all that much, but its defintiely a cool atmosphere to be in during WSOP time....maybe ill make my way out west.
