a night of drink and footie last night, Arsenal doing the business although leaving it late to convert one of there 28 shots...
along side the footie i was drinking and decided to enter a few tournaments, i started with 2 $6 stt's and bubbled both in 4th. i should of quit then.
did about 6 or 7 mtt's costing about $20 and did rubbish in all of them, no real bad beats that i can remember just me not having the patience.
i finished up the mtt's early and did some cash play, a little heads up and then 2 tabled 25nl 6-max, a drop from my usual 9 tables but the football was my main focus!!
luckily i managed to claw back all my tourney losses and was about to retire to bed when i see my mate Mug is still playing, a quick phone call and it seems he is pissed as well so we decide to do some cash tables together and abuse our opponents - we decided on two 5nl tables 6 max.
below are some hand histories from the game, i got stacked twice by mug, basically me being a dick trying to stack him with absolute junk, luckily the other players were just as terrible and i actually ended up $5 on the day

$100 session
a bit over really and best day at these stakes in a while, grinded $40 over 500 or so hands at 25nl and won $70 by stacking someone heads-up and then finding a shortstackintg euro-donk, got a bit lucky with the stacking i had ace jack spades and pushed on a K 10 5 flop with two spades, the river queen giving me a straight to beat his KQ.
Football tonight so may do some MTT's whilst i watch, have a new idea/challenge based on some free money i have in a few sites but will post on that another day!
bankroll a healthy $627

PPT, Bankroll Boost and Live Tourney Blog
Not been playing much since last post, have been doing the odd day of cash to grind out the remaining iron man and only have 1 day to go, these sessions have been pretty much break even with a profit of $4 over 1361 hands, however rakeback and a small transfer of funds from a win on another site now sees the bankroll over $500 - positive movement still.
Friday night i played a home game at mine, we call it the PPT, £1 rebuys basically, with only 6 players and two of them stoned off there tits it seemed an easy way to cash and eventually I split the £50 prize for 1st and 2nd with my mate Mug, we would of love to play out the headsup but it was 1am as at 4 handed we played for nearly an hour, the £5 for 3rd seemingly to attractive a prize to bubble for!!
Sunday night I did two small buy-in tourneys, I made notes throughout hoping it would make good reading....
my two tourneys

1st night went well
so my quest to bang out iron man as quick as possible started well, felt extremely comfortable and booked in a 1 buy-in profit over the 40 minutes or so it took me to reach 50 full tilt points 9 tabling $25nl.
Later on in the night once the mrs fell asleep i fancied a bit of poker again, i had been drinking but i decided to lower the stakes and tables and play 4 tables of $10nl - 6 max for a little bit more action. The players were terrible but in my drunken state i didnt take full advantage winning about $10, to finish the night i looked around the $50 nl hu tables for a donk, the criteria for this is as follows -
buyins in for less than $30
French
Eastern European
Haha, maybe a little racist but certainly french and russian players are terrible from what ive seen, i won a fair whack for the night and am tempted to withdraw this for when PES 2010 comes out in a few weeks.

Taking a shot
right bankroll is at $445 today, with take two bonus to come and rakeback to come i am happy to not play and start October with a $500 roll.
Slight problem is that although i dont want to play, and with my mrs's birthday and a home game on Friday meaning i dont have time to play - i have to play!!
i still need another 4 days at 50 full Tilt points to earn iron man....Balls!!
basically i have decided that i am going to 9 table $25nl, i know im nowhere near rolled for this but it will only take me 30 minutes roughly to clear this.
ill report back tomorrow on how the 1st session goes, hopefully i dont expereince the sick coolers i have had at this level this month.
I think super nit is the only way to get through it!

22nd Sept Update
as promised an update of how ive done since my last crash...looking quite good, plodding along at 5c/10c but anytime i see a shortstack at 25c/50c i jump on and crush - these players are terrible!
obviously not the greatest bankroll management but seeing as they only have about $25 and im 1 tabling i think its a fair shout to be playing in these games - my lifetime graph shows that i do ok?!

Tourney Night
So last night was a planned tourney with me and my mate Mugdonald both playing in a number of cheap tourneys under $5, mug had himself a bottle or 2 of wine and a chinese takeaway, I had a crate of strongbow and a bag of dorito's - we kept each other updated through Facebook chat.
Just to let you know, Mug is a friend met through work, he is pretty keen on poker and his nickname Mug was earnt through his initial play of poker .... when he used to say "i probably shouldn't call" or "you'll go mad if i hit" you knew a mugging was going to commence!!
he has recently deposited $100 onto full tilt and although he has struggled with cash, he is a very solid tourney player with as you'll see later a decent Sharkscope.
anyways back to the night, nothing really went right for me, only one cash in a lot of tourneys, a lot of sick beats but these have to be expected in these cheap donkaments... mug on the other hand had a good night, earning tickets in two satelites and taking a small cash in the daily dollar.
the graphs say it all really...
at the risk of sounding bitter, i spoke to mug and it seems he rarely lost a hand when he was in front, even letting me know when he cracked AK with AQ for a monster pot.... me on the other hand just seemed to have no luck losing with overpairs to underpairs as exit hands in 3 tournaments.... ah well anyway there are two hands i want to highlight, not bad beats - just want some opinions
I was fuming after this hand but this is totally my fault, i was trying to keep the donkish Nuxita in with a weak hand, trying to tempt a re-raise on the flop but with two flushes and a straight out i should of killed the hand off on the turn.
This hand killed me, Badbumhole had been stealing my blind constantly and although A4 isnt great i have to make a stand? we were both average with 20 left of a 600 runner tourney not sure how he can call 3/4 his stack with KJ but if my hand holds i go 2nd in chips...any thoughts? do I wait for a better spot?

New Start and brief recap of blog history
Great post last night, riveting reading im sure! Went to bed fuming, woke up just plain depressed.
My Poker journey/hobby/career/aspirations are at a crossroads, this Blog was started to help me overcome the demons of alcohol and tilt affecting my play as well as instilling some discipline in regards to bankroll management, game selection and all the key elements a poker player needs to be successful.
So has the Blog fulfilled it goals? Its only been going since April, so in the 6 months I have been blogging lets see how sensible I have been
• April – Start an account on PKR with $75 rakeback etc
• May – withdraw about $300 for Wedding expenses but…BUSTO go broke on the 13th May playing cash and then the deadly Casino Games
• June – get married, so a week or two off then I redeposit $75 on PKR, BUSTO my mid June, make a new account on Full Tilt, deposit $200 stake by my dad
• July – Bankroll rises to $900, withdraw stake, and then down to $500 and then RESULT! – I win $2020 by taking down the daily Dollar, I withdraw $1500 and buy the mrs a car, I have $100 as a bankroll but my month end – BUSTO, I lose $500 in one night playing heads up $2-$4
• August – Redeposit $200, by the 4th – BUSTO – get another $200 stake…..grind upto about $650
• September – bankroll fluctuates between $550 and $900, until last night when I snap and lose $300+ in one night putting me on $330
So yeah, BUSTO 4 times in 6 months. Looking at it ive deposited $750 and withdrawn $2000+ but I have no more money available so this $330 has to be grown into something and I need to keep disciplined.
The plan to restart from today 17th September is to restart at 5c/10c and grind away, might even do a run at $2 STTs, maybe heads up to see if I can find an easy profit maker, don’t wanna think about profit I just wanna build a huge sample size.
Will make some changes to the Blog, including a new name – I don’t even play on PKR FFS!
Good Luck All!

This is not good, my staple game, my money earning game is meant to be 25nl, recently i have started 9 tabling, i have had some recent sessions where i have been losing, each session i have been playing well but hitting rubbish luck.. i have check my graph today and i was near sick, my bad luck is an illusion, it must be as over a decent sample size im down $439 overall.nearly 18 buyins.
i cant get the ev graph of all these hands so from Sept 1st only i am running $270 below ev... is this normal?
even sicker than this, when i do have a hand if i dont get sucked out on i run into a bigger monster -
AA is a loser. i have had this 23 times and im down $6.90
AKsuited is a loser. i have had this 21 times and im down $37.95
AKoffsuit is a loser. i have had this 62 times and im down $25.90
KK is a loser. i have had this 30 times and im down $54.13
ETC ETC.
what can i be doing wrong?
what do i do now? Should i Quit? How can i turn this around? Deep down i know i am a winning player but this has thrown me
Bankroll is still actually over $700 as overall im only down $100 for the month taking into account other games, with rakeback i might actually be even lol!
*Edit damn near lost the plot after this post, absolute marathon session mainly at started with some heads up at 25c/50 and won $30 off an absolute donk in 5 hands... i then decided to just play 1 table of 25c/50c 6 max as i was watching tv, it started off great my stack had grown to about $75 and i looked like i was recovering when this hand happened -
do i get this totally wrong, he limps then makes a huge re-raise, then i flop an open ender, with 8 outs for the straight and 2 card for a set im 40% chance to improve?
sigh, from then on i move up to 50c/$1 heads up and manage to win about $40 back, and a little bit up on the degening when i run into trouble.
i find a bloke who has lost 13k sitting (stats taken from Poker Table Ratings) with $56... i proceed to get butt fucked, i guess i didnt play these hands well, probably as i did not give him any credit at all.
this is shocking, i guess i was hero calling hoping he had absolute air.
another poo hand, i was convined i was ahead and in my mind the gutshot was security if not.
from here on I launch the comeback.
villain had become passive and i wasnt to confident with mid pair, but nice to claw a pot back.
brave bluff 1
brave bluff 2
no idea if a bluff or not? i think he was on the ropes here...
i quit here as was completly knackered, our heads up was over 200 hands and i had clawed back to a $8 profit..
overall my degen session had earnt me $12 plus another $8 or so rakeback
overall for the day i was down $93.... at least i run good....

Live Trip Report - £55 1rebuy or add-on
So Thursday night i went down the Rendevous Casino with my dad and two mates for the £55 freezeout,7500 starting stack and 30 minute levels, on arriving we found out you were also allowed one add-on or rebuy but i didnt bring enough money.
Anyways out of 57 runners i still managed to draw my dad and mate mug on my table,first through rounds i was a total nit, every pot was limped or min-raised with 3 or 4 to the flop, i decided to rock up and see who the fish were, and luckily there were a couple.
During the course of the first few rounds a couple of latecomers joined the table, i knew they were decent players Darren Baxter and i think Tondy Adderley (i class good as being on Hendon Mob lol), they were both chatting about playing some GUKPT games and were solid players.. by the break i had an average stack which was then put below average as i didnt add-on.
I managed a double up on a strange hand, i have KK and reraise a min raise and we go two to the flop... flop comes jack high all clubs, i dont have a club but cant resist a cbet when he checks, villain calls and a King of clubs comes on the turn to give me Trips but 4 clubs are out, villain checks again and i take a free river. the river pairs the board five me the full house and the villain bets, i reraise all in and he calls after an age an flops over 45 of clubs, bad play from him i think!
from then all i cruise to the last two tables, stealing my way but eventually i have around 11 Big Blinds when a much discussed hand comes.
I have AQ on big blind with 11k and it gets raised to 3k, im about to shove when the small blind beats me in the pot.....old man has me covered and although i have tagged him as overly aggresive he has also shown aces and queens since i have been sat next to him... i fold and original raiser calls tabling KJ to Old Mans KQ - Fuck.. my hand would of held winning by a flush but -can you put your tourney on the line 3 ways with AQ? the general consensus was that it was an insta-ship?
only other hand to note,i have AJ diamonds in cut off and raise 3xbb, dealer calls, flop comes Q66 two diamonds and i check, he over bets the pot like 4k and i instaship... he mucks in disgust and i feel warm inide that i "bluffed" him off.
my mate on the rail informed me later that he had 3 4 off suit.
anyways i then play survival poker but it never looks likely to get going so as midnight approcahed i picked uo the birthday drinks and my table looked a bit bemused when at midnight i had a double shot of Sambuca!
still with a 10bb and less stack you dont need to be sober but i literally pick up no hands and eventually bust 13th and 3 off the money when my K5 bib blind defence runs into KJ - 5 on the flop but flush on the river
All in all a great tourney, i felt very comfortable and enjoyed the game, i didnt feel over matched and cant wait to go again

Small Withdrawal and i cant win?!
made a small withdrawal to pay for dinner and drinks for tomorrow night and since then i have been stuck in a rut, i have been doing sessions of 9 tabling 25nl and every session i seem to get stuck around $80 before i grind it back by the end of say 1000 hands, this morning the same thingh happend, i lost $25 with 55 on a K52 flop (villain had KK) i lost $25 with AA on a 237 rainbow flop (villain had set)
only trouble is i had to leave for work so couldnt win the money back...
tonight im actually playing a decent live game at the Rendecous Casino in Brighton Marina, its a £55 freezeout which my dad is staking me in.... now i should be excited but i actually feel a bit nervous, i have played there loads (and final tabled twice) but still get the noob nervous feeling... i expect a few pints should help me.
note if anyone knows where i can find some free training videos for multitabling microstakes please let me know in my comments!

I Took a Break - and did i play this hand wrong
i heeded my advice and took almost a complete break from poker this weekend, this was made possible by me logging on Friday night and losing $50 or so at mu usual stakes, following my degen pattern of recent nights i jumped onto a $200 heads up table... 6 hands later i had won a $170 pot the rivered K on a 10552 board giveing my AK a better 2 pair than my opponents KQ... with this win my bankroll was a healthy $805 so i insta quit and made a mental note to take a few days off.
Saturday i went to "work" with my dad and as customary he got me to play a MTT on his paddypower account, we elected fot the $10 rebuy with 80+ runners, top 10 pay with a healthy $1000 to the winner, i managed to get a decent stack early and was top 10 in chips all the way down to 2 tables, then with 15 left i am 9th and the play has slowed down dramatically, this hand then happens
I have pocket 9’s in Big Blind, bloke with above average chip stack of about 27k makes it 1200…. Folds round to me and re-pop him to 4k (I have 16k) he calls.
Flop comes 9102 rainbow…nice…. I check trying to get him to bite but he checks behind, turn is a jack…. Damn I cant slowplay now as there is a straight draw, I bet 5k and he goes all in…….i have to call and he flips over pocket jacks.
could i get away from this? should i be re-raising 9's preflop? would he fold if i bet the flop? grrr very disappointing to exit 15th after playing so well.
Saturday and Sunday i had football, my Saturday team losing 4-2 but with me scoring, my Sunday team win 3-1 but i dont assist or score, in fact i dont do a lot apart from float around the half way line, every time i get the ball i pop it off inside to a free man.... WTF i used to be a beast of a winger skinning entire teams but now im 28 and can barely run.
anyways thats me going off the course, on Sunday evening i go on to earn my 1 full tilt point for the Take Two bonus and i win an extra $20 or so.
Bankroll is $830 but i will be withdrawing $80 tonight to pay for my drinks on my upcoming birthday.

Losing The Plot in a roller coaster session
No idea what has happened to me last two nights but i think a break from poker may be required.
The same night i posted, i went back on and played $50ml heads up i was doing my usual plan of finding shortstackers, i was up about $30 everything was ok and i felt fine.
i then run out of shortstackers but find a player i have marked as a donk, we run an even match until i make a big push with J8 on a J79 board and of course run into a slowplayed pocket aces.
The red mist descends and i find myself playing Omaha Headsup losing a little more and then 600nl headsup, 200nl and stud heads up.
luckily i take some small wins and leave with a banroll still intact at the $700 mark
last night i was planning to take the night off but my mate suggested we do some cheap tourneys (under $2 as he has $100 bankroll) i enter a $3 90 manner and a $2 rebuy.... 30 minutes in im 3/300 in the rebuy and 5/40 in the 90 manner and im about $15 up on my solitary open cash table - happy days.
however i lose my 20k stack in 3 hands in the rebuy, AK losing 3 times to underpairs...i elect not to rebuy and effectively crash out in epic fashion. In the 90 manner i lose a massive chiplead pot with JJ losing to AK and a rivered King... 4 hands later i have AK and lose to A7 and im out..... at this stage i can feel the tilt coming and opening up 3 more cash tables to hit my 50 ftps was probably not a good idea.
Obviously I lose about $90, run Kings into Aces for a full buy-in, Hit my ace on the flop with A 10 and run into an optimistic underpair hitting trips on the turn and of course my obligatory tilt shove bluff running into a flush.
I was absolutely steaming, bankroll was at $600 and i logged off and stuck on Football Manager and have a few cans....after the tilt had subsided and being bored at the wifes cold case/ghost whisperer tv choices i went back online.
I found my mate and saw he was doing some $2 STT's - exciting stuff but a game is a game, whilst i was waiting for him i loaded up a set of 6 $3.80 Super Turbo's and bubbled 4 not cashing in any... the last 3 hands i was on the phone to my mate and said look i bet i get sucked out on and i did... the final insult being Jacks losing all in preflop to 45 flopping a full house.
Tilt is a funny creature, i was so pissed off and steaming but i went on to win both the $2 STT's and also won $50 heads-up....get in! another can and i went to find someone else headsup.....i then lose $70 and am back to square one...both in bankroll and mindset...i look at the $600nl heads up tables but luckily decided to just try a $100 table.. 6 hands later i have hit a flush and a rivered two pair and make $60 before the villain disappears, i then move to a $100 6 max table and the following hand happens....

knowing when to quit
$115 lost in 500 hands, i know i havent played great and made a few bluffs but sometimes you just run shit.
bankroll now down to $700 and i might have to knock 6 handed tables on the head, a 30buy-in bankroll cannot sustain 4-5 downswings let alone 10-15 which can happen.
any help or comments re bankroll management are welcome - do you think i can play $25nl 6 max with a $700 bankroll?
enjoy my graph from lat 2 days

Buying Hand Histories
as i have moved up to 25nl i have decided to spend £25 to purchase 3million hand histories from handhq.com, i have found this info very useful as it immediately lets me know who the regulars are and of course has the vital stats which i need to narrow them down to ranges...
word of warning though, importing these hands into poker tracker takes ages, i attemped to do it all in one go and it took 18 hours to import 1.5 million, i then attempted some of the housekeeping tools like updating the cache and some 20 hours later it hadnt finished!!
my advice is to import 100k hands at a time and set the housekeeping to run afterwards.
last night i played my biggest session in a while, 1000+ hands with a small profit of $26, with i guess around $10 to come in rakeback, not a great result but seeing as i was down $60 with some typical donk beats early i am happy enough - as long as the bankroll is growing then i need to be happy.
on a non poker note my mrs is pregnant! with 3 girls already i really need this to be a boy, it really is shit or bust - come on baby boy - one time!!
ill leave some hand histories, feel free to comment on what a donk i am!
I CAN DONK TOO

word of warning though, importing these hands into poker tracker takes ages, i attemped to do it all in one go and it took 18 hours to import 1.5 million, i then attempted some of the housekeeping tools like updating the cache and some 20 hours later it hadnt finished!!
my advice is to import 100k hands at a time and set the housekeeping to run afterwards.
last night i played my biggest session in a while, 1000+ hands with a small profit of $26, with i guess around $10 to come in rakeback, not a great result but seeing as i was down $60 with some typical donk beats early i am happy enough - as long as the bankroll is growing then i need to be happy.
on a non poker note my mrs is pregnant! with 3 girls already i really need this to be a boy, it really is shit or bust - come on baby boy - one time!!
ill leave some hand histories, feel free to comment on what a donk i am!
