Happy Holidays

after a small break and thanksgiving i decided to move back up to 50s since even though the downswings hurt more, i really am making more money obviously and i need to stop being such a big nit.

oh, here's a hand

cash graph

lol ev

zzz

typical first game for me.. crushing with reads and they hit their 15%er or wtfever
dude was c/ring me over 50 percent of his hands

hi

he snap called with a5o.. freeroll ftw

happy halloween!

a little late but whatever...

poker was shockingly slow today.. the holidays are usually booming with drunken players drooling and waiting to hand me their chips. But I guess halloween's different unfortunately. I still ended up in the green for the night but didn't reach my 20 game goal again.

tomorrow I plan on recording a video of a game or two and posting it on 2p2 so i can get someone other than my mom to read my blog (hi mom!:)

off to watch dexter before i pass out.. gnite

moving down :(

so my shot taking at 100nl didn't go too well.. i lost a bunch and decided i can't handle the swings at hu cash yet. I went back to where I think I'm most comfortable and skilled.. hu sngs!

At the moment I'm going to play the $20s since my hourly is probably the best there for a few reasons imo and see how it goes after a month.

I also have been slacking on actual volume so my goal is to play at least 20 games every day I'm able to play. Last night I ended up playing 20 games even after the tilt sessions at 100nl and 50nl cash games.. but I ended up losing a couple buyins. I still feel more comfortable playing these games and confident that my winrate at these games will be huge.

I'm also thinking of posting some videos of me playing a few sit n gos on my blog for better players to spot my leaks (hopefully) or for other players' entertainment. I'm a lot more motivated in getting better after getting soul crushed.
