Hey guys, sorry I havent been updating that much so I figured i'd give you guys all an update:
Janary: Jan. was really dissapointing, I was up like 9-10k and went on a big downswing at the end of it, and ended ~+$1500 or so for a final
February: Feb. has treated me a bit better, still not as well as i'd like but def. a solid month overall
Poker (2mans / 4mans): +4,367
Coaching: +2,220
FPP/Bonuses: +1,693
Staking: ~ +1,000
---------------------------------
+$9,280
In other news, i've been SUPER motivated recently, I just got off a 10 day vacation in Florida with my gf and family and am really pumped to start saving to buy a house as I saw some awsome real estate down there, and I may actually be making an investment purchase w/my older sister down there, so that would be really awsome. I bought my GF a car ( 2002 Audi A4 Quatro ), but we haven't really had a chance to use it much as we left right away for vacation. Other than that you guys may have seen me at 110s for a bit, I dropped until I made 20 BI and got some confidence back, i've achieved this and so should be back around a mix of 110s/220s. And other than that i've been receiving a TON of super good feedback by theSNGacademy members, both on 2p2 and on the forums there, and it's really nice to hear that my videos are helping people out and people are appreciating it alot.
Anyways guys, I hope you all have had a great start to the year, mine has been a bit disappointing and I put myself in a real struggle if i'm still try to get to SNE, but I can't really complain about make 11k over 2 months, when I feel I havent been playing my best and have been running poorly overall, Best of luck,

Mid Month Update
Hey guys, just makin a quick update, it's been kinda a crazy month so far this month, my monthly graph looks like this:
It looks a little bit ridiculous, but my sharkscope was off by 11k at one point in the month, which is completely insane. anyways, it's currently off 3406 (too low), which puts my monthly profit at $4538 , add $1715 worth of FPP (just over 30k VPP), puts me at $6253, but im down a bit cause of cash, so i'd say im about +5400 this month overall. I've cashed out 5k and moved my spread of games back up a bit to include 220s/300s/330s , and still playing all limits of 4mans. Ive gotten alot of confidence back and I think I should definently be able to hit my goal of 10k this month.
Other plans for the month, I fly out to France on the 22nd (Thursday), and meet my girlfriend, who im bringing back on the 30th. So obviously not so pumped to be traveling again, but realllyyyy pumped to finally have her over here. Also planning a 1-2 week vacation with all my family in Orlando at the end of the month, should be 10 of us total going (parents, 4 of us children, + 4 gfs/bfs/wives). Gonna just hang out, relax around Disney, and meet up with People_Mover from 2p2, so looking forward to alot of stuff coming up. Anyways, will give a more detailed update at the end of the month, hope 2009 has start off right for all of you, Good luck,

Losing Month / 2009 goals
Hey guys, So let me start off with the bad, I had my first losing month ever, or since I started playing full time at least, and the sad part is I had a positive ROI on both sites.
I took a TON of shots this month, I played alot of 1100s on my own, played a bunch of 2200s w/ 50% of my action, and also had one day where I was -14k between 1100s/550s, but most of that was me going 14-34 that day in 550s on FTP for like -12.5k, just a really sick month and I feel like I played super mediocre and ran terrrrible every time I was playing higher limit games, but oh well; Live and Learn I guess.
Anyways it was a big eye opener, and helped me get super motivated for the upcoming year, as did my trip to Atlantic City w/hokie. So below are my results
Pokerstars: 741 games, 1% ROI, -4,196 , SS is $6,552 too high
FTP: 315 games, 1% ROI, -8,329 , SS is $5, 806 too low
Month: Stars: -$4,196
FTP: -$8,329
Cash: +$1,835
Satts: -$262
Sports: -$1,460
FPP: +$2,534
Bonus: +4,000
SS off: -$746
AC trip:-$1,000
rakeback:$1,858
----------------------------------
-$5,766
As for the new year, I am unbelievably excited about 2009, it's really insane to look back and see how far I (we as poker players) have grown this year, it's really almost surreal to look at. I hope 2009 brings me the same success that 2008 did, and I hope to establish my permanence in the Professional Poker field.
Poker Goals:
------------
Make $120,000 from playing ($10,000 / month , not including bonuses)
Be playing (and rolled for) $550s/1100s consistently by the end of 2009
Make $175,000 in 2009 (including bonuses)
Win a package to at LEAST one big live MTT
Don't focus too much on making SNE, just play my best when im feeling good and if I end up on pace for SNE, so be it, if I don't make it, don't stress about it
Personal Goals:
---------------
Be less insane about poker, take more days off, relax and enjoy time with people more, just focus on playing great when I play, but don't obsess about volume
Try to pick up tennis or something else like it to keep me active / healthy in the coming year
Start to invest money or at least begin to set aside substantial money for a house
Get myself and gf cars
Hang out / meet up with hokie a few more times, that trip was the nuts and he always wants to go diff. places, so it'll get me out and doing stuff

Christmas Prop-bet-a-ments
forgot to post this earlier :), happening today
Hey guys, I had a pretty huge downswing this month, but am slowly recovering and will most likely break even or turn a small profit this month. I had a single day that was -14k and that kinda set the tone for some other parts of the month ;p, but it's going well overall and it's not like anything has changed, I just need to wait a bit longer before taking shots at 1100s/2200s :).
Below is a propbet im doing with a friend, I posted it on 2p2 but thought I should also post it here:
Sick, christmas prop-bet-a-ments
I'm doing a 6 game prop bet w/a friend before he heads back to Germany, the events are as follows:
Event #1
HU SNG
he starts out 1600-1400, we 1 table turbos, best out of 5
Event #2
Pool
he gets 3 balls off the table on each rack, best out of 5
Event #3
Ping Pong
I get 5 points, best out of 5
Event #4
Tennis
I get 4 games / set , must win by 2 games (6-5 is not a win) , we play best of 3 sets
Event #5
bowling
I get 12.5 pins, best out of 3 strings
Event #6
Rock Paper Scissors
9 throws = 1 game, best of 5 games
Payout:
6-0: $1000
5-1: $600
4-2: $250
3-3: chop
fwiw he is a poker player as well, pretty solid at HU SNG (Paranoia87 on stars) , doesnt play much anymore but def. doesnt deserve much more of an edge in HU SNG, he CRUSHES me in tennis, and gave me 2:1 odds that I wouldnt win a single game vs him, and I didnt, even though we played 4 sets lol. I even had 40-love on my own serve and blew it =/
should be alot of fun, prolly gonna do it the morning of christmas Eve, goooo me, run good at HU and RPS 1 timeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

November Summary
Hey guys, gonna be a short post as im really tired, but I had my sickest month ever to come off of the scam, which is great in helping me recover, the month re-cap looks like this:
90,898 VPP
1,041 games played on stars
325 games play on FTP
Stars: +$29,390
FTP: +$5,378
FPP: +$292
bonuses:+$7,000
cash: -$800
Satts: -$7,041
-------------------------------
+$34,219
(FPP is low cause 250k for a 4k bonus, and 50k for my 300k VPP ($3,000) bonus)
so pretty awsome month overall, im feeling pretty good at the 550s and comfortable there, so im hoping that continues, I still do feel slightly under-rolled (the swings get to me sometimes) , but im hoping at the end of next month that won't be too big of an issue. Anyways, i'm really really satisfied with my results, and if I can do half of this next month, I will consider it a huge success.
Good luck to everyone in December, and i'll do my best to try to update more often,
-Primo
oops... sigh, and -1k on a prop-bet, so +33k =/
