…that wont always pay your hours.

Right now Im going through the toughest days since I went fulltime. 5k games breakeven, never happend. Im not really afraid since I know I should be happy about running bad and breaking even.

So just wanted to mention here that poker is not always fun.

Reached the final table of daily 40k last night just to bust out 9th. TT on butn vs AA in BB…. lol

Sometimes I wish there was no money and we´d just play for the skill and psych levels. but moneys always involved…. who needs money nowadays where we have enough stuff to led everyone have enough?

got 2nd in $33 15k yesterday, chopped 50 50 HU then lost the flip for tlbs.

again no 1st place for me but good money. hope one day win a nlh mtt. pretty good stuff, second 2k+ score this month, migh be a premiere not sure.

Didnt run too good this month in sngs so this is great. might safe me from first losing month in a year.

Also played few hands of cash again since the rakeback came. got fancy again/noobish calldowns etc. need to be relaxed and dont hurry things, just wait for hands at 4NL and value bet.

blew my cash roll…50 left coming in rakeback…damnit!!!!!

so I stop cash again for now, instead get my head into tournament poker rest of the year and try to make the switch from sngs to mtts only by jan 2012.

I know my prolly only leak is discipline (including focusing,thinking enough, put in volume etc…

Ill be moving to new flat soon (at least looks like it atm) where Ill be able to go into poker 24/7  cause I dont know anyone there, which means no drugs and noone to hang with = more poker time.

Ill still update here.  later

Put in some hands again and am struggling harder than I expected. Took couple aggressive shots at 10NL but Im too bad or rather not dsiciblined enough yet to get a real winrate. Blowing through BIs in speed that is

Its def hard to not feel halfway comitted to the pot after grinding short stack turbos for a year. Good thing is I heat up, so that means Im unhappy with my plays and Ill have to change em or head explode….

By now I split days of sng/mtt and cash but I think Ill go with a combo from now on. Just put in couple hands cash, take a break and grind on stars later the day…always depending what time of the day Ill wake up.

Now cash roll is at: $126 and around 25 bucks in rakeback ( ended taking shots tho, so wont add too much until next week)

So nothing exciting going on here, maybe little learning and mental resetting but thats its,

Grinded 4NL for some days now and think Im getting back into things. Still making tons of high variance plays but since I only started thats ok.

Rewatching all the vids and adding plays 1 by 1, so my abc poker will be good soon. Its crazy how all tables are filled with regs and most of em play a pretty good game, which I had to learn on multiple occasions.

So my plan for future hands is just folding once I get 3b, even if its the 10th time or so in the session (same guy). 4b/called all in light couple times and they always have it…

Hoping to move up to 10NL by mid next week when rakeback flys in again.  So excited and motivated to move up, its crazy. Sweating for $2-4 flips  lol.

Most likely not playing cash till monday, since weekend is tournament time.

thats it for now, later

oh yeah also, someone railed me today asking why I played $2 180s, it was to get in good volume. started early session today and $12+ dont load too good at this time.

Hey all!

Im a long time member now here at pokertrikz and since I now take on cash game again Ill start posting and blogging here again too.

I came to this site around two years ago googlin for free coaching vids. then I started grinding 4NL and made my way up to 50NL twice but both times I busted my roll playing drunk.

So I switched back to sng/mtts at stars where I started playing online.

And I had some success showing in 3 consecutive 1k+ months, which I credit to the videos I had seen here.

In november 09 I came 2nd in the big 3 rebuy on stars and decided to go pro lol. Obv I almost went broke and got lucky to be offerd staking+coaching by EeeTee2008.

Now I played turbo sngs and mtts full time for a year and made my fare share. Its good money but Im looking to move on… so I start once again grinding micro cash on cake, while maintaining supernova on stars.

Would start higher than 4NL but obv Im degenerate and didnt safe a penny of my earnings…

Ill blog here about my progress. From my first few sessions I got the impression that player traffic on cake went way down since 2008 + games got a little tougher and my cash game is rusty as it gets.

Heres my graph for turbo games, 90%  played 2010:

mmh not sure why picture fails…

thats it for now, later
