Back In The Game

After a nearly non existent 2 weeks of poker i am back to playing a little bit again. I played only for about 2 hours the previous 2 weeks and it was great since i could focus on some other thigns in my life that have gotten complicated. Im not playing great yet but thats the best part becuase you can play like shit and still beat the 22s. So its been going alright as of now and im lookin forward to a good year.

Shoulda Practiced Avoidance

Lost the rest of my br the last few days and not too happy with myself for it. I cant always blame iton running bad. Sure i was running bad and seem like i cant win anyrace either, but that should only account for a downswing not losing my whole roll. Although i am happy with how i have been playing recently feeling near best ive been for awhile, im definitely not happy with the way i have managed my money and what games i have played. Probly gonna deposit some later this weekend and might play the vip tourneys tomorrow and hope for a score and roll builder.

A Short Update

Havent posted in awhile. Gonna be short and to the point. I lost my br of about 200 last week. Took 5 days off then deposited $500 accidentally on Monday. Meant to put $250 on but thought it didnt go thru at first so did it again then boom $500 in my account all at once. Probly a good thing tho becuasse i had plenty of room to play games i wanted to play. Got a little live sweat with technical difficulties from bpmst2 but got some good input from the few things we went over. Since then have been very in control of nearly all my games and am up $550. Cashing out the original $500 for Christmas money and such.

PlatinumStar!!!

So i have now made platinumstar for the first time ever and with a week to spare...i have been playing quite a bit. My bankroll took a hit from buying bpmst2's coaching fundamentals powerpoitns/running like shit in 18 man turbos/being retarded late at night and losing $115 hus against sharkscoped fish...shouldnt even be waiting in the $115s scoping them gotta just stick to my stakes where just about everyones a fish. Have $175 in my online br right now. Im positive i can workwith this and get back to a decent roll around 4 or 5 hundo. Then start playing some mid stakes tourneys again as i was getting pretty deep in nearly every real mtt i played. Not the 180 man turbos god im a fish at those.

In The Swing of Things

Today went pretty well at the tables. I started out the day by playing the $16.50 turbo mtt. Got pretty deep and then busted out when utg shoves his big stack, i pick up QQ on the button with a medium stack call, flop A im out in 43rd of about 2400 people made a small profit obv not as nice as the 6k first place but oh well. Ive decided that im no longer gonna play any turbo 180 man sngs. I just advanced searched myself in them and guess what im a fishbowl...lol. As much as i know how to profitably play them, i really just dont play enough at once for the variance to even out plus i usually just tilt half way through from another game. This happened twice to me with top 10 stacks in the middle stages today. Im just over them. Gonna play hu sngs as well as 18 man turbo sngs and a few lower-mid stake mtts except the hu tourney which i think is completley garbage. Hopefully take down the silverstar VIP tourney tomorrow haha. Also I am only about 1300 vpps away from platinum star. I should be able to make it pretty easily and this would be the first time i would accomplish that as i fell short by about 300 last month...either way these last 2 months is the most volume ive ever put in. Not been too productive but think im started to find my groove.

BR Management...Really?

I was playing poker today having a pretty solid day up about 260. Then lost 3 of 4 $33 omaha heads ups against a player who i really didnt think was that great. After losing those couple games i got pretty heated for a second and decided i was gonna play a $115 hu with a bankroll of only $440. I kept sharkscoping opponents and after about 8 players all solid regulars im guessing realized i shouldnt be doing this. Something just clicked. Even if i think i have an edge, is that edge bigger than the risk im taking of playing with 1/4 of my roll? Definitely not. Probably shouldnt even be playing $33s. Gonna try my hardest to stay within the $22 limits. I truly believe that br management and tilt control are the only things holding me back from being a solid winning player. Im gonna strive to play within my limits and never just give up always try my hardest to win. Ive played so many games i should have seen nearly every situation and i feel as though my hand reading skills are very high but when tilted i dont even try to put an opponent on a hand i just try to win every hand no matter how blatantly obvious it is that they have the nuts. Gl at the tables.
