swongy but heading north

My sessions recently have been plagued by swonginess. Frequently i find myself down 3 or 4 buy ins early in the session and needing my A game to kick in so i can win them back. This evenings session was no different with my set of 7's losing to a set of aces of a 27A flop. This was quickly followed when i opened from the button with AQ. Big blind opted to flat call and we saw a flop of A75 rainbow. He bet, i raised, he reraised, i shoved and we get it all in with his ak proving superior. I started my session at around 4:20am just before (its now almost 5am wtf!!) so maybe im just tired. :S

Anyway long story short i ended up pulling in around a buy in and the roll current stands at $404. Happy days. In the opening 6 days of December i have played 6.6k hands for a $117.30 profit @ just over $20 AUD an hour. If im going to achieve my goals (60k hands, 1k profit) i really need to get my grind on.

December thus far:

well im glad yesterday was fun, because today has been shite thus far. I do have to blame myself for about 1/4 of it though. The rest have been faggoty suckouts and coolers imo. here are my stats from the sesh:

AA: Had it 12 times. Ended down $13.50 overall. FML!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3536480: meant to put him all in on the turn but whatever. Atleast he got a nice memory of the hand with a royal flush.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3536492 why these stakes are still profitable. 43>AA aipf.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3536503 as above. K8>AA

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3536519 the FML hand of the day. Im still not sure if i hate it or not. Me and villain are fairly deep. up to the flop is pretty standard but im trying to decide whether my turn call of his reraise is bad. I have an open ended straight flush draw and at this point i put him on something like a set/ two pair. My river call of his reraise is questionable as well. Would love some feedback from people.

Anyway gonna take a break now and hit it later on. Really wanna hit $400 before the weekend.

quick little up date of my day

Finished a fairly decent day of grinding. Played 2414 hands in total and won $56.45. ship it!

grinding

just played a nice 1.6k hand session. Was up 1.5 buy ins initially, then down a buy in, but finished strong to win ~4 buy ins. This bring the roll to $339 :)

Gonna try play another 1.5k or so hands this evening. Let's hope i can contnue the run good.

and thats November.

Thought i'd do a wrap up of my month. Wasn't the greatest month volume wise because of exams but hopefully December is big. Overall i won about $480 AUD at $18.40/hour. Pretty much equivalent to what id be making in a normal job for my age but with poker i get to eat fruit loops, listen to music & sit in my underwear while i play, so i prefer it.

After starting on like the 6th of November with $25 i grinded NL2 for a while:




Then when the roll hit ~$50 i stepped up to NL5




Then NL10






Month Stats & graph




Goals for December

• Minimum of 60k hands.
• Win a minimum of $1000
• 3 buy in stop loss
• Move up to NL25

HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY! As the title suggests im now on holidays. This means no study etc until the start of March! Got a heap of shit to do these hols and poker is certainly priority. Just played a pretty brutal 2k hands session. Managaed to win 1.5 buy ins but my game feels a bit rusty at the moment. Just can't seem to run good for an extended period: whenever i win a pot it is closely followed by a loss. Im now about 12 buy ins below equity at NL10. :(

Anyway here's the current stats: on like a 5k hand breakeven stretch which is a bit gay. I was much more profitable at NL5. After 11,667 hands i have won a petty $122. 37 (5.24bb's) which really is shiteeee. I suppose i haven't been playing my best so this probably accounts for it.

Gonna stick at it anyway (provided my roll doesn't drop below $200). The roll is currently $269.
