November is over and I’m left to scratch my head. When I put all the results together I’d confirmed my earlier suspicions. On Tuesday night, November 25th, I felt I was up marginally for the month. Turns out that as of the 25th I had a net profit for the month of $19.69. 5 days later, I’m up $441.50. That’s a profit of ~$92/day. Now that’s making things exciting.
Admittedly I did have 2 large MTT cashes after the 25th, but even if I put them aside this happens.
Net profit in 5 days = $441.50
Net profit – Recent MTT profits = $441.50 - $237.50
Total profit without MTT cashes = $204
New total profit $204 / 5 days play = ~$40/day.
Certainly fells better than the $2 or $3 I was profiting per day 6 months ago.
Official poker rankings has boosted my global ranking from 38,995th up to 35,559th, not too shabby and my 2 cashes didn’t even come from Poker Stars so moving up ~2,500 spots for a few minor cashes I’m very happy with. I’d love to win a big tourney at Stars and wee what that does to my ranking.
The first 25 days in November really were swings for me, losing big then winning small. The last 5 days have been a real confidence booster. I’m no longer worried about the $10 buy-in games so it took a month to get over that.
I have no intentions on moving up stakes next month; my main goal will be to have more consistent growth rather than a repeat of last month. I know my end results were good, but if the month had ended on the 25th, I would have a $19 profit to show for it.
Below you will see my 3 main profiles on the different sites I play at. First positive, everything is in the black. SnG's are still my focus at the moment and I hope to grow these even more by the end of the year.
These results have been tracked since I first started playing 3 years ago. I'm sure, Poker Stars especially, the total profit would be higher if it tracked me from when I started playing seriously.
Overall results for all sites are here:
Poker Stars
Pacific Poker
Titan Poker
I ended setting no goals at all for the month of November. I do have some hope of where I'll be at the end of the year, once they are finalised I'll put them up.
But for now, I'm going back to the tables.
Thanks for reading, will report back soon.

A very impressive month to be honest with you. If you see your BR grow by 34% in one month that's honestly "on fire" territory.
GL in december, I am sure all the sites will come out with some great end-of-year promotions that will make us play more than ever. I think you're very close to a $5k+ win soon!
Keep it up man. Nice graphs btw.
