putting in a ton of hands

I've put in zero hands the last week, awesome! I do however to put in a big weekend and hopefully make at least like 5K to catch up with all the wife's Christmas shopping.

Good Luck to my good friend Barry at Bellagio. WIN WIN WIN

looking inside the stats

I looked up some of my stats on official poker rankings and was pretty disgusted at what I saw. Other than 2 satellites into bigger tourneys, I haven't cashed in a tourney on Full Tilt in 41 tournaments. That's pretty sick. It's over 4000.00 in entry fees too! Not only that, but the stress you go through playing stupid ass lucksack tournaments makes you want to throw shit and break stuff, definitely not soothing for the soul to say the least, so I've given them up (except for Sundays) lol I lost a lot Friday and actually was just sick of playing all together. My wife played a 5.00 horse tourney that started at 1:00 am. lol I was helping her a lot which was fun bonding time. I'm trying to get better at all the games. I suck at stud, but can hold my own at Razz and Omaha HI and H/L. We ended up taking a few beats and bubbled out but it was still pretty fun. She also played a 10.00 tourney and got it in with AA vs. QQ and obv Q ball on the river. She was little mad and I think it helps her understand when I yell to myself after a bad beat like that (except mine are for hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars). I played a lot of heads up yesterday to rebuild my bankroll that's been hurting and ended +4400.00 on FT Saturday/Sunday! I ran pretty well and played some big donkeys which helped too :o) Add that with some rakeback and it was a good much needed boost to the roll I need to rebuild. I guess that's all for now. Going out of town for 4 days for thanksgiving. Not sure if I can leave home without the laptop though. :oP

Happy Shippings.

still going no where

Can't cash in any tourneys, everything I sit at I lose. It's so depressing to feel that you are playing well, but the cards are just falling your way.

fu.ck it all. yes that is real money. yes, the doomswitch is forever on.

Rebuilding

After the worst downswing of my life, losing around 12K in a week, I didn't even want to sit down at the computer to play. I lose a chunk of my bankroll and was really disappointed with myself. I played some 6 max which I'm not very good at (and run very bad at) after I promised myself I would never play it again. I'm more than +20K over the past 2 months at heads up poker, yet dump it at 6 max or donkaments which is certainly not good money management. I've got a new attitude though and dropped down in stakes to rebuild the lost money though and seen some pretty good results over the past 4 days. I've gotten about $4200.00 of it back which is nice, but there's still a long way to go! I played my first tournament in a while and finished 16th in the Nightly UB 120+9. It's a cool set up. 100.00 goes to the prize pool and 9.00 goes to the house and then 20.00 on your head. You get knocked out and the person who knocks you out gets your bounty of 20 bucks. I knocked out 4 or 5 people so I got 100 bucks for that and finished 16th for another 220.00 or so. 1st was 7150.00 though. Just couldn't get lucky at the end.

Downswings suck

I'm in the biggest downswing of my life. too many a long post short, I was down almost 12K this week, but got a little bit back today. This was one of the bigger hands of the day.

Short Update

Mainly because I don't like posting about losses. I was down 3400.00 the first few days of the week which sucked big time. I didn't even want to play so I took Tuesday off to cool off. I put in a short omaha session yesterday and ended +525.00 which was nice. Still a ways to go to rebuild the roll I lost the first part of the week, but my spirits are high. :o)

We had a total of 8 trick or treaters last night. I gave them like 20 pieces each lol
