Day 16

I havn't been updating much lately. Not sure why. I havn't been busy and I've still been playing pretty much all the time. Odd.

I am right on track if I kept playing for the whole 30 days. I'm at $2500 right now but am going to Europe in 3 days so I won't be able to finish my goal. I am playing in this Stars blogger champ deal so I'm hoping to take down 1st place in that, maybe get my WSOP seat? That'd be sick.

So yeah, Europe in 3 days is my big news. Oh yeah, I suck at Sit-n-Go's sometimes and shouldn't play them. I'm not sure what I should play. I did 3/6 6-max for a bit and did ok but the swings are freaking huge.
I'm done because I'm hardcore tired.

Day 10

Eh, I'm pretty much done for now. I am going to Europe for 40 days and most likely won't be playing much poker at all until I get back, especially because of how much I am sucking latley. I am playing like I don't even want to win...and I guess I have that mentality. I'm just playing absolutly stupid. These tournies are killing me. I have taken out nigh $1,300 which is now happily sitting in my bank account.

I'll probably keeping playing with the $300 in my stars account, $40 in Party and $60 in UB. So down to a measly $400. I really have to start to get back into the cash game...I was owning that before. So, suck it up good!

Day 9

Today was a kinda eh day. I didn't play much and when I did, my head really wasn't in it so I probably ended up losing about ~100 in tourn fees. I CANNOT play tournies when my head is not in because I just donk off my chips. Cash games...maybe but I still shouldn't. But tournies I relize that if I don't sit here for another 4 hours I can't make money so I just say screw it and blow $30 here and $20 there. Fuck that shit. I'm going to give up tonight even though I just made a couple bucks in cash games.

My total is now even harder to calculate because my money is all over the place.

PStars: $800 (100 $T)
Party: $434
Full Tilt: $70
Firepay: $420
Airwaves between Party and Firepay: $400 (I think)

Total: $2,100.
I need: $2,900

Tomorrow I really hope to buckle down and make some dough. Oh yeah, I did some stupid shit again and went back to my old stomping grouds of $5/10 and lost ~$100. Oh well.

P.S. I'm going to Asia for a month.

Day 8

Day 8 is going VERY well. I got 2nd in a Party $10 Tourny. I really should have gotten first but got fucked over...for $500. I had 66, he pushes with Q6 and of course, catches a Q. Blah, that had me up in arms. I have also won 2 seats to the $215, both of which I have unregistered for and I cashed for $35 twice as well. Those $11 DS are super-fishy and I plan on playing more.

I think I've played to much because I'm getting really tired. Problem is I'm still in a $5 rebuy on Party and have a deccent stack that I just keep donking away.

We'll see what happens.

Total: $2,140 (!)

Day 7 finish

Today was a good day.

I won a $215 seat which put me way in the green, up to $1,350 for the grand total. Was given $40 on Party which I have since turned into $100. FT not going so well, not a big fan of any of the tournies they have on there.

Total: $1,350

Day 6 & 7

Day 6 did not go so well. I played a bunch of MTT's and keep busting out of them doing stupid things. I thought I was hardcore good because of my 3$ MTT and decided that I would only play those. Of course, I wasn't hardcore good and lost about $150 bucks.

So this morning I went back to the cash a lash and played $50 NL. Was rocking socks until I make one bad move with kings where a guy caught a flush. Then all hell breaks lose and I end with a -$25 session. Gad, I hate when that happens.

My current progress is:

Stars: $906
FT: $138

Total: $1,047
I need: $3,953

Day 5

Day 5 is actually going to be my first losing day since starting because of playing when I was tired and not really paying attention. I played the $3 rebuy and got to about 90th place, pushed with K9 after a button raise and ran into KK. I also played some other tournys, none of which I cashed in. Then when I was tired and played some $50 NL, of course a bad idea. I lost about $50 NL after one bad beat and a bad play by me. So it happens.

$50 NL: -$50

6/5/06

Having to do menial labor for 7 hours for $10 an hour after winning $600 in 5 hours doing something I love sucks. ALL I could think about was getting home and playing poker. I've split up my money a bit so its going to be a harder to keep track of all my winnings. I transferred $300 into Full Tilt, which I have already turned into $330. The players there, I can already tell, are going to be a lot tighter and thus harder to get chips from. The main reason is because I hear they have a more friendly tourny structure.

I'll update at the end of the night with results.

Day 4

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I won $600 in a MTT today and a couple bucks in the $25 NL game.

Goals
Total: $1,214.00
I need: $3,786.00

Day 3

Shit, if I run as well as I have been I'll reach my goal in two weeks. Although I've kind of thought up my very own online-poker-is-rigged theory. It seems that every time after I deposit I run really well, make $500+. Then I slowly give it all back through what I believe is bad play. BUT! What they probably do is make you win tons of money, making you think that you are a winning player and then have you lose it all back because of "bad luck", only to deposit again and rinse and repeat.

Two pretty bad beats. One in a $25 NL game off a complete donk and the other in a $20 MTT where the guy just got lucky.

--------------------------

I was sooo pissed about that first one. First off, the guy called a huge raise with 3-9(but it was soooted!) and then preceeded to call my huge overbet with low pair. That has to be my worst beat in a cash game. The other one the guy just got lucky..nothing I can do there.

As for today's report!

Day 2

Woohooo... One of my best days at the $25 NL tables and one that I am sure I'll repeat in the future. I really do believe, that with the donks at Stars, I can maintain about a 15-20/BB per 100 hands. Today, I made, according to PokerTracker, $124 but I am not quite sure that is right because the times are all messed up. The good news?

I have trouble folding AA a lot because I don't give these donks credit for much but I figure the way this guy was playing his hand he would have to be a complete donk to not have the J.

Here, I was pretty sure I was beat but for some reason did not fold. As I lament in chat over and over.

Day 1

Bankroll: $100

I need: $4,900

6/1/06

Ok, today is the day I really start my $5,000 in June. Mostly because last night I lost another $60 and can't really start off losing *that bad.* Now my start BR is going to be $100 and I will attempt to make $4,900. I will implement various anti-retardation devices as to not do stupid things such as a heavy stick next to my desk that i will whack myself with if I do anything stupid.

Speaking of which, my parents think I have a gmabling problem. =( I do, but still. I don't want them to think I do.

Ok, I'm in the $3 rebuy on stars right now. I'm going to boot up some $10 NL tables on. I actually making some money yesterday on that.

That sucked. I was up to $100 on Evest and then got 36 in the BB. Betting goes around, guy has 66 and I lose $40. Balls. Now I'm down to $50, prolly about to lose with 10Qs too. Yep, I lost to Q7o.

I've devolped an EXTREMLY LAG style for this site because everybody is so tight. I think it would work really well if I just could lay down top pair when I needed too. They don't play back. Ever.

It's funny that I'm able to update my blog every 10 mins or so with new entires because I play with my whole BR and any bets I make can make and break me. $25 NL is quite a trip with $80.

Once I get to/if I get to $100, I'm calling it a night.

A great start!

Not. Just lost a buy-in because I don't give anybody credit for anything on this site. I played last night and EVERY single person was a complete donkey. Now they just seem super tight so I just pot it preflop, pot it on the flop and take down small pots. Then I get attached to top pair and lose my stack. Such a sick way to play poker...maybe I'll write a book?

Well, I just found the donk I was looking for. Its just though to figure out who is a donk going in with 99 on a 2-J-K board and who is not.

So I'm not done yet but I am now at:

Everst: ~90
