damn, lost $120 last night dont want to turn this into a bad beat post but KK lost to AJ for $50 and AA lost to Q4 for $100 - my own fault on the 2nd hands in a way for letting them catch up and turn it basically into a flip.
Bankroll $780 - some work to be done!!

Week 1 Review
a winning week but half my profit has come from a drunken session and i have not been playing well at my usual $25nl Full Ring games.
had to evoke my stop loss yeterday as i was $100 down heads up when i played too agressive at a person who wasnt folding, logic dictated i should of stuck around to stack him but the stop loss is there for a reason.
i have withdrawn $100, i said i wasnt going to till i reached $1500 but i needed money to cover not going to work Saturday morning and im out in town Friday for a works do and need money for drinks!!
aiming for a sick grind tonight as the mrs is off to London to watch the saturdays, hopefully she'll take some pictures!

Supernit to Superdrunk
my head hurts.... awful feeling this morning knowing that I got battered and was playing on my Full Tilt account, normally if im drinking I transfer my bankroll to a mate but he was out on a xmas do and likely to play drunk when he got in!!
anyways, ill start from the top of the night.... I settled down for the $100 rebuy event and also played a $10 1000+ mtt on the side, I was watching the Poker Millio final which i had a vested interest in as I had £10 on FullFlush at 3-1.
I basically played like a super tight bastard in both tourneys, I came 400ish in the $10 game, in the big game i was so tight and card dead im sure my opponents thought i was sitting out.... i didnt even see a flop till about 30 hands in!!
in the end i only played 2 hands, a double up with A8 before the break, and then my exit hand.... i have 2200 with blinds at 100/200, someone raises to 600 and i gets round to me in the cutoff, the bloke has an average stack of 4000ish so i reckon he will fold to my shove...i shove with QK and he calls with J10hearts and rivers a flush.... i finish 1000/1600... grrrr the pot would of put me in the 400 mark with some room to play... anyway, that happens and i do a few super turbo 45 manners coming 6th in one to break even... Full Flush gets bounced in 3rd in Poker Million and i open a bottle of wine and play heads up poker!
i was up about $130 and then lost a big hand...my last memory of the night is cursing as im looking at my results in Poker Tracker and i was very worried when i logged on this morning...
LOL!!! bit naughty playing $100 heads up, but that is tame to previous drunken messes... a few hands, not pretty stuff at all, apart from the end one!!

ECOOP V Event 12
Playing in a big tourney by my standards tonight, the $100 rebuy which is part of ECOOP V.... my dad won the entry but cant play in the event so he's asked me to give it a shot... not too confident, especially as we satetelited into it and he said i can only rebuy once... hoepfully will pick up some cards early so i have a safe stack to get into the money!!
it starts tonight at 8pm and ill write up a report tomorrow.
Cash has been ok, been losing at $25nl but only down 2 buyins over about 2k hands, at the same time im up 2 buying at $50 heads up.
bankroll a healthy $837 with rakeback to come tomorrow.

Titan Poker is Fish Filled
went on early doors, lost about $20 playing my usual grind, not feeling to confident at the mo... as i knew i was hitting the drink to watch Arsenal later i transferred my bankroll to a mate so i couldnt go on later and have a drunken gamble.
watched the game had a few cans and guess what i fancied a gamble... i rembered i had $22 on Titan so i logged onto a 25 euro table with about half a stack and this happens....
Nice. if you fancy playing against people who call bets with bottom pair then use the sign up links on the side.
bankroll $780

1st Day = Routine Day
So day 1 was completed and it ran like such a typical day for me...
I logged on at about 7pm with two of the kids in bed and the wife working in the other room and with my youngest running all over the house doing what she wanted!!
the aim was to bang out 100 Full Tilt points so i 12 tabled $25 full ring for an hour, listening to music on the tv to get me in a rythmn and the session ended an hour later with a loss of $11 - this was mainly due to 2 stupid misclicks, first hand blind on blind i want to bet $1 with bottom pair on the flop and somehow manage to end up betting $9 into the $1 pot.... big blind thinks then shoves for $20 later claiming to have top pair.... a bit later on im embroiled in a hand at the bottom of my screen and see that i have KQ suited on a table up top on the big blind so click call... whoops a dirty slag shortstacker has pushed all in for $5 and im calling that not 25 cents, even worse he has AK.
I also ran $12 under EV but thats to be expected.
anyways keeping in mind of completing 4 Acamdemy Challenges i notice i have a couple of tasks left in my bankroll managment one... i have to do 5 stts and one mtt which cost less than 2% off my bankroll - easily done i register for 6 $1 super turbos winning one for a $3 loss which only took 20 minutes.
at this point i have lost $14 but have cleared $10 of my holiday hundred and decide to log off, the mrs is still beavering away so i stick on Footie Manager and watch some Tv with a couple of tins.... a couple of hours later ive got promoted at the 4th attempt with Lancing in County Div 2 and have drunk 4 cans of Strongbow..
Feeling a little brave and bored i head to the $50 heads up tables and search for the dirty shortstackers who stack off with A3 preflop.... 100 hands later ive won $60 and the day seems right again...
all in all such a standard day, i grind at the $25 and eithr win or lose a minsicule amount for pathetic bb/100... i then go on later semi drunk and crush the bad players for a good win-rate, be interesting to see how this pans out and whether the trend continues, i really want to be winning from my sober bread and butter games not relying on finding drunks at heads up!!
ah well profit is profit and i have a $802 bankroll

New Month - New Grind
So December is here and Novembers lean month is over, i amd fresh after taking 3 days off and looking forward to the grind.
Bankroll is $750 and my initial target is to double this and then withdraw $500, i will record my daily results and keep track of rakeback bonuses etc, i want to do one of the those target graph things that a few blogs have - if anyone can help with the coding let me know.
Have some non profit/bankroll related goals this month, first i want to get to Gold Status on Ironman, Silver is redic easy as its basically 20 minutes a day for 25 days so i think i can play a bit more and move up a level, also iron man related is i want to earn a point every day to qualify for the 1 a day freeroll. finally i want to do at least 4 academy challenges this month, looking at it there are some decent things you can buy in the store and if youre a playing a decent volume you might as well register for the challenges and take advantage.
i will update my gagdets on the side to show these challenges.
bit of a rubbish post but i havent played for a few days, will post daily on results which may be a bit boring but i need to keep track and keep focused on my goals, maybe if i know i have to post the sessions results means i wont stack off with ace 9 on a 9 high board.
Bankroll $750.
