ok, so I finally got my old files off of Scott's crashed out laptop and here are the true results of my poker playing. Some posts, I complain about how much I'm losing, and some posts, I on about how I'm so rich I can supersize it! Well here it is: the truth

Little explanation -
1/2 - means I bet $1 on preflop, and flop and $2 on turn and river. If that still doesn't make sense, then just think I bet $1, and $2.
BB/100 - Big Bet per 100 hands. It basically shows the rate at which I am making money in poker terms.
SH - short handed. I play against 6 people instead of 10

Commentary on the poker career
Well, things started off pretty freaking awesome. I didn't get serious about poker until the middle of September, and in the next two weeks I made $3,300. I move to Hawaii, a confident man, and bam! I take a $1500 hit. I understand that poker is a random game, but do I have to hit the downside the day after I move to Hawaii, one of the most expensive states in the nation? Not only that, but they take away my rakeback a week after I move to Hawaii. I didn't know what I was gonna do, and I kept telling Scott that I was gonna get a job next week. As far as November goes, really that was a worse month than October. I was back to 2/4 where I thought I was a proven winner, and I still couldn't make money. However, I did finally scam a way to get rakeback again, by using Scott's identity. I must have blocked the month of November from my head, because I don't remember playing that many hands. Well things are back to normal, and this month I'm giving 3/6SH another stab. Scott says I should stick to what I'm good at, but this time I'm confident that I will succeed.
