Poker has not gone well last few days... i have lost, lost Degened and lost...........
i would say its a near $400 downswing and not helped by a degenerate session at heads up Omaha a game i already no i shouldn't play.
that was Friday and i havent played since but tonight i am using up my last few tickets and doing some MTTs, im also playing some small staked mtts on ipoker, was hoping to sat into their big $200k game but failed twice.
will update a bit later, full post tomorrow with depressing stats

Hating 6 Max

Testicle Tilt!
damn in just over 2 hours im off for a vasectomy - happy days....
at only 29 a lot of people feel i'm too young for it but wih 4 kids and my latest Melina being an absolute devil (still not sleeping through at 8 months) i deffo dont want any more kids...
hopefully by the time im 50 all the kids will be out living their lives and me and the wife can enjoy our life and go travelling etc.
as for poker today's poker session have felt like a vasectomy for sure, my balls are sure aching after running down $100 in EV in just 2k hands, most frustrating thing is that it took me 12 days to get into profit for my cash play and now im back $100 down for the month and only up due to bonuses/mtt's - sucks to be me
I feel I really need to work on my 6 max play as im 10 buyins down for the month, does anyone know of some decent vids or reading material?
have self banned tonight already have no idea if ill be in pain but hopefully a KFC will ease the pain
hope everyone else is doing better then me!

Breaking Even
jesus a third of the way through the month and im only up $16 for 19 hours worth of game time, volume has been pretty decent and im bang on pace for Platinum Star. I guess all i need to do is hit a few winning sessions!
One thing i have decided is that Sunday night will be MTT night, the TV on Sunday is absolutely shit, basically from 6pm till gone 10pm my mrs watches Got to Dance, Dancing on Ice and Wild at heart - all terrible terrible shows.
not sure what bankroll management i should use? should i been playing $10 games and lower?
still havent made time to review Hand Histories or look at training vids etc.... there just isnt enough time in the day... if anyone has any links to training vids (preferably free) let me know!
Cheers
Daly

ipoker is softer then stars
played a little on ipoker last just 1 table under my stake at $200nl, it was meant as something to pass the time whilst i watched MOTD but i ended up turning in a $340 profit in about an hour.
all profits mainly due to the bloke to my immediate right..... his VP was never below 80!!

Rocky Start
I’ve started the month with a lot of enthusiasm and determination, first two days were great, +$70 in cash and +$100 from my tourney night, next 3 days including this morning down -$232!
I feel at the moment that I have a lot of adjusting to do, especially now as I am playing a lot of shallow stacked 6 max as opposed to years of playing Full Ring normal tables.
There is a ton of work for me to do, some stuff I can do now, and other stuff I will need to build up a decent sample size first….. one of the main things is definitely checking my hands, what im planning to do is review every hand where I put in over $15 and review whether I played the hand badly, if im unsure ill post in the RTR forum.
Also at the moment I’m struggling with when to call when shortstacked villains just shove there $10 over my $1.35 opening raise, maybe this is something I should read up on, I’ve seen shit ranging from pocket 2’s, ace 7 and even queen 9 but when I seem to call its always AK or JJ+!!!
The one positive to take so far is that I am settled on my “grinder” session so I can farm VPPS and achieve Platinum Star, basically I load up 12 full ring and 12 6 max of the 20-55bb 50c tables and fire away, last night I played 1500 hands in an hour and earnt 200 VPPs….
Anyway so at the moment it isnt looking great, I’ve had to reinvest the withdrawal I made earlier plus a little bit more so my figures at present are
05-Jan
HU $11.00
6-Max -$148.00
Full Ring -$38.00
Omaha $11.00
Tourneys $94.00
Other -$7.00
Bonuses $10.00
Total -$67.00
Bankroll $989.00
Withdrawn -$56.00
Hours 14
$ per Hour -$4.79
I feel confident I can turn this round, its all a bit of a journey this year – one thing I know that there is no hiding, I want my figures out in the open, no more resetting my stats after a losing month!!
Tonights plan is 30 minutes of “Grinder” mode then self ban and get hammered and watch Arsenal Rape Shitty. Or that’s the plan J

Big Tourney Night
good start to the year so far, up about $60 and have also had an experiment running 24 tables of the 20-50bb tables where I can really farm some VPPS and I reckon I may have a chance of platinum star if I could log some long sessions at this.
anyways tonight is a mega mtt night so far im in the following
$200k guaranteed - iPoker ($320 buyin)
$40k guaranteed - Stars ($11)
$42 guaranteed - Full Tilt ($11)
$12.5k guaranteed - Stars ($22)
$60k guaranteed - Stars ($3r)
$2k guaranteed - ipoker ($22)
$4.5k guaranteed - ipoker ($5)
also added
$20k guaranteed - stars ($5)
obviously the $400 outlay is 40% of my bankroll but i have actually only registered for the $3k rebuy out of my bankroll, the rest are tourney tickets from bidibot or steps and the ipoker are under stakeage...
I will update with hopefully a huge bink!!
unregged from from full tilt and $3 rebuy, max 6 tables at once i think!
out of big $200k tourny couldnt fold KK on 789 flop villain had 79............
unregged from all tourneys now, will stick to the 4 i have running :-(#
out of $5 $20k had 99 on 10 high flop, knew he didnt have over pair but he did have A 10 - C*** so cant be arsed now
now opened up 2 cash tables to go alongside my two remaining stars tourneys
gonna cash in both (fingers crossed) fucked off the cash tables $6 down and about $50 under EV FML, AK losing to AQ for full stacks AIPF
estimated 1 hour till im pissed
yay cashed the $22 game, guaranteed $30 but im a steady 58/343 at the moment
got $72 for 97th in $22 game, will soon bust the other game for $27 as just open shoving as cant be arsed
will tally figs tomorrow
