This month I'm up 20k+3kRB+1kBonus, all from 6max. I just finished my maths and I'm done with school so I've bought a new computer on NCiX.com, I think it came out pretty cheap cause it's a really nice computer. Might have to buy a new fan for my processor to overclock it more.

So for the next month I'll be enjoying summer, working out a lot and playing tons of hands. It's quite likely that I cash out a good amount (50-60k) from UB and either buy a car or put it in savings.

Hope all of you run good.

Since I began playing poker around 1 year ago (where I totally sucked and played penny stakes) I made a pretty nice 100k$ (most my money was made this year actually, which is around 75k$), which drives me insanely happy, thanks to UB and the constant flow of player who have no idea there is strategy in poker. I should also thanks a few people like Fayth, TianYuan, TheTrees (Bishop), F4ZI and of course every player from LP who help me when I needed it on HHs and who still will in the future (many many thanks to every poster in Med/High stakes sections).

I'm pretty happy how the whole thing around poker turned out since May, I have been a bit off my game a few times but managed to put back a steady play every time without monkey tilting too much, which happened quite a few times during March and April. This month is a +15k$ if you include the 2k$ RB.

One thing I will have to seriously consider is moving up in stakes, but most of the times it seems like there is more profit in playing a multitude of 2/4 and 3/6 tables. I don't know if other mid/high stakes players seems to find this true, but my winrate is much higher due to fishes at these stakes than 5/10 (even tho I don't have any definitive amount due to HH crap on UB). Anyway on Ultimate Bet it's not really possible to multi the maximum amount of tables of 5/10 since it's very rare there is more than 5 of these running (max tables is 9).

I just want to say feel free to comment on my HH directly in the "Hands" section at right, also if you think some play aren't justified, do correct me on where I have mistaken and if you need any info on players I will post them by request.

On a life side, I have been offered two jobs after being done with my internship, one being the ministry of revenue where I had my internship, second being at CGI. They were great opportunity and they are not at all lost, I could call any day and get a job which is interesting, but never has interesting has poker. On this I hope you all run good like I did and bank all the money you can.

Hehehe I'm finally done with my internship at the ministry of revenue of Québec and thats just better than any winning day, not that I didn't like the place, hell this was the coolest job I could get probably with the best team. Well its not really done since I'm going to eat smoked meat with them friday. On a poker note, I've not put in many hands during April just due to tiredness and doing some other things at night time, still managed to end up something 7-8k, now my roll is 44k w 1.5k RB. Even if I didn't play much I tried to watch some CR and read a bit on some forums, such as leggopoker which wasn't blocked at my job (pretty much every good site was blocked, not like I had hours to read in the end).

Anyway good luck I'm probably gonna put in much higher volume of hands this month, lets see how this goes!
