It goes on and on.. countless lost flips and aces cracked by an underpair all in preflop, set over sets.. but I don't wanna post too many hands, and this is annoying me.

I will take a day break from poker as friends have the day off too.

ughhhhhhhhhhh!

Last few days have been up and down up and down and downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

The graph for the month looks like a rollercoaster blueprint, it's ridiculous. Today I played a tonne, and ended up losing loads to a guy at heads up. He is really really bad though, its just one of those things that happens.

I lost 8k today, but was 8k under allin expected value.


Oh also there was one day in this blurred up mess of poker that EVERYONE had sets v me, like everyone, it was ridiculous.. easily the worst it has ever been.

So my month stands at 13k when I have played a tonne, but I guess it's not a disaster.


Rob

Last couple of days.

Yesterday I dropped $11k in 1500ish hands. Lost flips, KK v AA, AKh v JJ on a AJxhh board straigh v fullhouse etc etc, and lost a loadsssss to shortstackers - mostly at 10/20.

Coped with it quite well, That is only 5.5 buyins for 10/20, and my worst days ever I have lost ~11BI so I guess I will def have worse as a 10/20 regular.


Today I recovered somewhat, and finished +$8.5k in around 3000 hands. I don't think I played too well today though. Made a few bad calls.


Month so far:

I can't think of a witty title.. sooo, January 4th.

I didn't play yesterday, I went up to Guildford to play football in the freezing cold.. why? Then we didn't go out after cos not many people were staying round, which kinda sucked. 

When I got home I was tired and my mind wasn't really good to go for playing poker. I def think that is an important factor when playing, though, I underestimate it cos my mind is normally ready. MTV generation - no highs, no lows. Robot brain. It's not often I don't feel like I can play poker for any reason, maybe a couple of days a month. I'm glad I didn't though, cos I could see what might happen - lose a little, get angry then end up not feeling too happy with myself.

Sooooo, I woke up today, feeling a little more ready to get into the right mindset. I played 1400 hands today and ended +$7500 ish. Happy with how it went today.

Obviously this month has started well. I'm not looking forward to the impending downswing. I may just cry!

Gl, Rob.

Two thousand and nine

Played 3 sessions already! Wow.

Partly because there is not much going on after the xmas period but a lot to do with wanting to get a good start to the month.

Looks like I did. 2300 hands (okay so not 3 very long sessions) +$12,800.
