Busto. Hmm where to begin? That 75 bucks I started at the beginning of the month whittled down to 60 from 1.50 USD 6max hypers. From there I decided to revisit ZOOM 6max cash games and built that up to around 90 bucks then came back tumbling down to 60 again. Being the genius that I am and for utter boredom I went ahead and played teh Sunday Storm Satellites which cost 3.68+0.07 USD per pop. So I had like less than 20 BIs to begin with. That's very disciplined BR management there I know. Needless to say I lost a few starting rounds and was in the 20+ USD range but ran good and suddenly I had 100+ T$ in a few hours. More ups and downs and I was about to finish the month at least breakeven then 2 days ago everything went wrong. Got sucked out on, got coolered pre, leaky bad low Ax SB calls vs readless BTN shoves, overplayed UTG shoves hoping to fold everyone close to teh bubble, extremely few suckouts going my way, and pretty much everything you can think of. On a positive note, even though I didn't use a poker tracking software yet(I plan to play HUDless for life), I know I just had more bad beats than bad play. My plan right now is to come back with at least 100 BIs for teh hypers and study each and every hand I get involved in with

Deposited and lost 20+100+20+20 since I started playing at stars. I thought the 100 was gonna be my last deposit .That was like a year ago when I planned to turn that into 1k USD and proceed further. Unfortunately the path has proved to be much harder than my play money wealth.The 2 twenties this month were my feeble attempt to have another shot at the hypers hoping I dont have a busto month. Oh well lol. I'll be back with 500 or so. This is the path I chose to reach enough capital for my passive income plan so I have to face the consequences and be as leak-free as possible. Each tiny +EV point I get matters greatly in teh long run. I'll end this post with a Napoleon Hill quote of the day that for some reason I feel was written directly for me.
"When the going is hardest, just keep on keeping on, and you’ll get there sooner than someone who finds the going easy."
"If you think achieving great heights of success will be easy, you either don’t understand at all how the process works or you have your sights set too low. Reaching the top of any field is difficult, time-consuming, and often tedious. The reason it isn’t crowded at the top is that most people won’t do the things that are necessary to achieve success. They are all too willing to give up when the going gets tough. If you need inspiration to persevere, read the biographies of men and women who have achieved greatness in their lives. You will find that they prevailed because they refused to quit. They continued to toil alone long after the masses had given up and gone home."

Always remember you're only a poker degenerate if you're losing. lol :)
