Note to self

This is just a quick note/promise to self:

DON"T PLAY F***ING SNG"S!!

Same goes for tournaments generally (although if i have been playing well at cash i will treat myself to a tournament, but it must have > 300 runners and cannot cost more than $4 to enter.

FUCK OFF SNG'S

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK


so fucking angry right now. Decided to play some sng's naturally enough i fucking get so badly beat its ridiculous. Me and another guy are table big stacks. Been playing for about half an hour.

Like seriously thats just fucking awful. I know its just a $3.40 buy in tourney but come on? What does this guy expect to up against? At the verrrry best he's flipping with me and i have something like AK. Why would you risk it? I seriously run like fucking dog shit in sit and goes. Im convinced it has to end someday and i will start turning a decent profit at them but for now its just a fucking joke.

This second one is probably a combination of poor play and the desire to try maximise my return but once again the level of play from my opponent is just sickening.

Why do these people bother? They'd have better luck dumping their fucking savings on a fucking number on a roulette table. I get a small amount of satisfaction knowing that if i play well in the long run all that fucking money will return to me many times over. But at the moment im just tilted to the bullshit.

Roll is $130.

fucking so frustrated!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was playing a nice session this morning. 6 tabling, i was up about 2 buy ins ($10) after about 50 minutes of play. I decide to call it a session and started closing tables. On my second last table i wake up to kings. Strangely, a smaller stack decides to just shove. Unsurprisingly i also shove but then a new player who covers me decides to join the party.

Needless to say i berated the king shit out of him. Just god awful poker. Oh well, i guess these are the sorts of people i make money off. But then again it would have been nice to pull in the > 3 buy in pot.

All in all i ended the session up a meager $1 from around 500 hands. Fairly annoying but i will try shake it off and return this afternoon. Roll currently stands at $139 and i need exactly 200 more FPP's to release my bonus.

Halt in progress

Started back at uni today and have had a few issues with my account. Haven't played since Monday evening where i managed to win a few buy ins and bring the roll to around $133. Im busy tomorrow morning and afternoon as well but am looking forward to putting in a decent amount of hands tomorrow evening. I want to get to a toal of 10k hands by the weekend. This which allow to make a good assessment of how im going at nl5 & of my play in general.

Nice weekend

Played about 1400 hands this weekend and cotinud to run well. Got the roll as high as $127 however i decided to dabble in a few sng's & some tournaments which dropped it back to $120. This profit has basically all come from the cash games & im going to try very hard to reach nl10 sooner than the planned start of September. I will be taking shots when i have 20 buy ins ($200) and if i drop back to as low as $160 i will move back down to nl5. The plan is to be doing this by the middle of August. At the current rate (14bb/100) i should be able to get there even sooner but im really expecting some form of downswing to come. Definitely running a bit too well at the moment.
Anyway, here's the current graph.

Cruising ( at this point)

Going fairly well at the moment. After around 4000 hands at nl5 im currently running at a shade over 12bb. I figure i'll do this entry as a reference point, so i should include graphs etc. I feel im playing well however im also running fairly well and therefore poker is nice at the moment However im also aware how quickly things can change. This should be my last blog post till monday. Hopefully i can do another 1k hands by then and maintain this pace. Fingers crossed.


Tracker stats


Graph (scrappy start but it seems to be getting there)

steady.

Havne't been playing a great deal, but when i have its been fairly steady. My Poker tracker 2 was missing a lot of hands so i installed poker tracker 3. Seems to have no problems with reading all hands and its graph feature is awesome as well. Bankroll is now a bit above $75 so things are going well.
