As for the post below, I was talking about the Poker issues and the government, not the Air Force :). At the time I couldn't deposit and was upset. Anyways on to what's going on lately in the life of me....

Currently playing 25nl and killing it. 9/100BB not bad but I am running really well and am prepared for the almighty downswing IF it comes soon. I have changed since reading a recent book that I have about having certain goals. Firstly, I would usually say something like " I want to be at 50nl by the end of July, which technically I am about 1 BI away from being able to play 50nl with 20BIs, BUT I am not making any goals like that. I understand now thta goals like that make you play more or reach out more/chase winnings if you are down so from now on I am going to be having goals like this:

1. Read more poker books- I have both of the Harrington on Cash Books which will take some time.

2. Post more in the HA section of Cards Chat- At least post a hand for every 2-3 sessions I have.

3. Look over HHs, and database stats- look at my actual raw stats and try to find anything that can be improved or taken away.

4. Sweat sessions- self explanatory

I think that by not having set goals I can make correct decisions and not always be results orientated. Wish me Luck!

Government

The US government can fuck off.

That is all.

Fresh Start

This month feels like a fresh start, which is an awesome coincidence seeing that it is May and the beginning of spring. I am still being staked by WVHillbilly(hope you don;t mind me saying :) )
Anyways my confidence is super high after winning an mtt last night. It was a 5$ KO, which KOs are pretty cool, something different. It was one hell of a roller coaster though. I was 4/18 with like 80k chips and a guy raises, I re-raise and he tanks gives the whole table a speech and says good bye to his new friends he made I guess. Long story short my QQ lost JJ(2 OUTTER!!!!!). I was down to like 30k and came back to being in 1st at the final table. So yeah crazy.

Ughh

Shitty day for me today. Not running well, not playing well, eventually going on tilt...Poker, so fun. I think i cashed in one mtt, the 8$ rebuy...basically a min cash and that is about it. Other than running bad I spewed off in the latest 3$ rebuy I wa sin and eventually called a loose all innner with 55 but also 4 others called and 88 beat my set of fives with their set of 8's. Didn't go crazy a spew a lot though. Stopped early so I guess that's a plus.

Going to take a break since I've been putting in so much volume tourney wise and it should help a lot. Always has....Anyways gl to everyone else, I'm just gonna study and take a day or two break...

LOL FLIPAMENTS

Well it came down to another coin flip late tonight in the 3$ rebuy on Poker Stars. I played solid poker the whole tourney and only got lucky once near the end(you have to at least once in these huge fields). I had about 360k at one point but lost some down to about 200k when the hand finally went down.....

I think my play here is standard. My reads on this guy were basically an idiot lol, but he actually showed up with a decent hand. So I lose the flip and life goes on. The thing is down the road(tomorrow lol) I'll be in that same situation, like always in mTTs and I'll win that race and go on to win it ;)

81/4680 is an awesome field finish imo, and I profited around 70$ so like 9$/hr :)

Running Hot

Title explains it all. Not like I am hitting big cashes but running deep in huge fields is not rare lately.
Today so far I played 3 180 man sngs. 2, $4.40 and 1, $11.

4.40$: 6/180= 36$

4.40$: 2/180= 144$

11$: 12/180= 21.60$

Total: 201.20$

So i am basically owning these 180 mans and want to play as many 11$s as I am playing the 4.40$s. Start making more money....

So other than this I am bored again and am going to make a really hard challenge for myself and try to get a roll starting from nothing on FT. Should be fun, and the CC freeroll with low fields and 50$ for first should help a lot...if I remember to play lol. So I'll leave updates on the side and make a new thing for it...should be fun.

Perty Good Day

Yup awesome day today, including 2 Final Tables and a 36th place finish out of 5000 people mtt(6 hours for 45$ sigh). But I am happy. I won a 4.40$ 180 man sng for 216$ and got 9th in another. Feeling really good about my mtt game right now. Amazingly I really have changed it from my semi lag/tag(believe it or not) to a straight LAG early to TAG in the middle, to LAG again at the end, I know it's a lot to digest but it works!
Anyways, I'm too lazy to post screen shots so hopefully you beleive me, if not Shark Scope or OPR me fool.

Peace out
