			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;that wont always pay your hours.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So just wanted to mention here that poker is not always fun.</p>
<p>Reached the final table of daily 40k last night just to bust out 9th. TT on butn vs AA in BB&#8230;. lol</p>
<p>Sometimes I wish there was no money and we´d just play for the skill and psych levels. but moneys always involved&#8230;. who needs money nowadays where we have enough stuff to led everyone have enough?</p>
<p>later</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>got 2nd in $33 15k yesterday, chopped 50 50 HU then lost the flip for tlbs.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Didnt run too good this month in sngs so this is great. might safe me from first losing month in a year.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>later</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>I know my prolly only leak is discipline (including focusing,thinking enough, put in volume etc&#8230;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Ill still update here.  later</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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 <img class="pic" src="http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Schock/smilie_sh_002.gif" alt="smilie_sh_002.gif" width="46" height="50" /></p>
<p>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&#8230;.</p>
<p>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&#8230;always depending what time of the day Ill wake up.</p>
<p>Now cash roll is at: $126 and around 25 bucks in rakeback ( ended taking shots tho, so wont add too much until next week)</p>
<p>So nothing exciting going on here, maybe little learning and mental resetting but thats its,</p>
<p>later</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8230;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Most likely not playing cash till monday, since weekend is tournament time.</p>
<p>thats it for now, later</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey all!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So I switched back to sng/mtts at stars where I started playing online.</p>
<p>And I had some success showing in 3 consecutive 1k+ months, which I credit to the videos I had seen here.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8230; so I start once again grinding micro cash on cake, while maintaining supernova on stars.</p>
<p>Would start higher than 4NL but obv Im degenerate and didnt safe a penny of my earnings&#8230; <img src='http://pokertrikz.com/blogs/billy/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Heres my graph for turbo games, 90%  played 2010:</p>
