Again again again

No graph can't be arsed. Basically played a morning session.. recovered the losses (+3k) played a night session, ended down 6k for the day, so like 9BI or sth in the evening session. Never had such a horrible week of poker. Today included some 10/20, some nasty hands there.

Month - $27k

Yeah, I don't like these days at all really





I did some uni work at the start of the day, went to watch my uni football team play as I am injured a little, then came back and played. It's now 4:30am I have to get up for lectures in 3 hours. If there were actually any games running at this time I would be playing them to get even. What a horrific day. Eveything seemed to annoy me during the session as well. Insane how in a week I can have 2 sessions where I drop 11buyins in 3k hands, I must have had that <5 times in my career.

Inbetween these two days I have been grinding out results. I am currently +34k. I'd imagine round about the same amount of hands too.

Deciding at the moment whether to go to sleep for a couple of hours or not.

Ughhhhh.....



Recovery part-two will start in the next day or two.

Wowww. Stresssssssssssssssss.

Back home for the weekend


.



By far the craziest day I have ever played. I got set over set lost loads of flips on the way down, then hit quite a few sets on the way up and made some very thin calls, because I was stuck obv. Most of the situations were just getting it in with a slightly worse hand than my opponent in spots where it's pretty necessary to get the money in. I didn't run too badly in allin expected value terms but ran shockingly awful in those situational spots.

I'm not sure I played my best today though... but I'm sure as hell glad to have made it back to even. All 5/10.

Sleep time!

Addicted.

Actually put in a session for once!




Had class until 1 o'clock today. After that I came back and set about putting in a solid day. I lost a lot of ridic hands/ flips so to have a winning day like that is good. Also I can't really complain as I have been on the luckier side of things by a little this month. $31k month so far with 20k hands played, 10 days to go. I'll aim optimisticly for another 15k hands, and whatever $ amount comes with that.

Enjoyable day.




I woke up at 12ish today, cos I went out yesterday night after football training. Went to do weekly shopping with friends, then came back and played some poker. Went up a bit then down a bit, and finished even (around hand 1600). Then I went out to meet some friends for dinner in town, which was nice. After that I came back and played a little, won around 2k, and called it a day. Also found out my cousin is pregnant which I am very happy about.

Lost a few flips today, and it didn't go my way a lot of the time, but grinded out a result anyway while playing nearly 2k hands. All in all, a good day. Would like more of the same.

45 minutes of play time.




I am back home for the day. I decided I'd play a session on iPoker. 45 minutes after I had started, I was 5k up, so decided to quit really. I'm not sure quite why to be honest. I guess I felt like it was a good $ number to stop at for the day. I'm also pretty tired. I can't remember the last day I didn't go out drinking or whatever. Probably a good thing.

Around +$25k for the month. Happy with it so far, would like it to continue, and play more hands as I can't have played many more than 15k hands.

Not many hands, but a few dollars.





I played football today for a 2pm KO for the university team. Went okay, I scored the opener as we won 5-0. Kinda just strolled around the middle of the park for the most part, breaking up play and giving the ball to anyone who wanted it. The other team were awful though, so it was an easy job.

I got back at around 5ish and decided to log some hands. I ended up playing around 1300, which I think on average I should be looking to play that amount every day really. That would run me pretty close to 40k hands/month which I need to be looking to get in. Around half as much as I played before coming to uni. The session went quite well, a score of ~4.2k. I think I really played quite well, and was generally satisfied that stuff happened like it was 'supposed' to, like AA beating T2cc all in pre flop. In that sense I guess I ran well, not really taking a beat of some sort.

I'm gonna try and log some hands tomorrow, though I have some work that needs doing, and also I think I'm going to watch the Guildford Flames ice hockey team, which should be fun, so getting in even 1k hands will be good.

Novembrrrrr

Okay so my graph from last month won’t get posted because it’s on two separate computers.

As for this month, it has started okay. I have played 4.5k hands, for around $9k. This winrate is good, I just need to put in more hands. I have played more than that in a day on multiple occasions. I have my excuses though - I have had work to do and Bonfire Night in Lewes to attend. But next week hopefully I can play quite a lot.

This week I had two sessions with my coach. We played lots of 10/20 which I am now getting comfortable with. The sessions were really good and enjoyable, and as an added bonus we won money!

So basically I need to play more handssssss in order to have a decent November.
