Had a great month in May, was pumped up to play cause of SCOOP and general post-DOJ conditions. SCOOP turned out to be a complete non-event, I think I mincashed in maybe 2 of the 'Low' events. Rennie "biceps" Carnevale binked off a 24k score in the $215 6-max; decent life!
Ended up with the following results:
Profit: $18,625
Outlay: 66,204
ABI: $79
MTTs: 851
Final Tables: 33
Also kept track of any score over 4 figs:
MAY Position Tourney Score
3rd 75 6max $2,434
5th 90c Party $2,720
1st 109 6m $5,112
1st 26/8k $2,400
1st $162/50k $14,906
1st 55/10k Party $2,876
3rd party 120 tur $2,030
4th 30quad $1,553
1st $26 turbo $1,860
2nd 20 r FTP $2,775
8th 109/18.5k $1,023
3rd 44 turbo $1,044
2nd 30 r FTP $2,295
1st 129KO $6,500
4th Fuper $2,000
2nd 109/50k $10,004
5th 20 r PS $1,445
5th 30 r FTP $1,175
Pretty stoked to hit two 5 figure scores in the one month (I only have 5 total lifetime), feel like I'm hitting a bit of a groove in the dailies; just need to bink off something big on a Monday! Also managed to win another Triple Crown on Pocketfives; winning 3 three tournaments on different sites in the space of a week :)
Speaking of Monday binks; the one and only Wayne "malleebull" Dever scored massive on the monday just gone! He won the elusive $22 Double Deuce; conquering 10,306 runners and binking the massive payday of $28.6k !!!! Pretty epic...
The world series is starting up which means the games online should be great for the next couple of months, looking forward to grinding hard and making bank.

Grinding post DOJ, decent start to the month
Not going to post about "black friday" (only "black" for US players lol); many people more well versed than me have already written on the subject. Risk had a nice blog post on the subject which you can read here:
http://www.pokernetwork.com/blog/on-market-change26234.htm
Basically US players are unable to play on the three major poker sites (pokerstars/full tilt/ultimate bet) and there had been questions raised over the long-term health of the latter two sites as their traffic is predominantly from the US.
However, this means that in the short term at least, the tournaments online have gotten significantly softer, providing great incentive to grind. SCOOP is currently on at the moment as well. I'm really hoping that I can keep knocking out scores; while the tournaments are smaller, it is also really easy to go deep multiple times a day; for instance last Friday I managed six final tables:
* 1st 109/20k 6m 5.1k
* 1st 26/8k 2.4k
* 3rd 75 6max 2.4k
* 5th 90c party 2.7k
* 7th big double
* 8th 30r/12.5k
... followed by today's binking of my 2nd largest career score online; the stars $162/50k (obligatory screen shot below)
Footy is also going well, I broke a club record kicking ten goals vs Nowra a couple of weeks ago, I'm hoping the boys can kick on and have a great season. Still lacking in fitness and haven't lost much weight, poker really fucks with my sleep patterns and energy levels, especially when the SCOOPs are starting ridiculously early.
