Week 2

Pretty much had the weekend off save a few hands and 1 more crap session friday after i blogged.  Sit on -£393 going into week 2 and hoping it will be a better one.  I think i will clear a $2,600 bonus this week so heres hoping i dont lose £1,500 in the process like i seemed to do last month.  Probably just stay on the same games atlhough i guess it would be handy to play some mtts if i can face them.

Wound Up Again

I think im stopping early for the day.  I just had another one of those carnage sessions where nothing goes right and its just plain laughable.  Only -$160 ev on my tracked sites where im nicely in profit but ive lost loads today on other sites on higher stakes.

Heres 3 examples of hands in the last 5minutes before i just shut everything becos of it.

15xbb preflop A234xxdd 4way.   flop is Q83xdd and i lose a 3way allin vs QQ23 and AJ109.

AA57ccxx vs A239 on a raised flop of 64ccxx .   of course no club and middle pin 5 hits the turn to lose all that one.

allin preflop AAQ8 vs AQJ8 80xbb each and lose to a straight.

Annoyed as i won £300 first session today and broke even on the 2nd one but its a roughly level day and sit on -£640 for the month ,  arrrg so frustrating but at least im raking good volume.

EDIT:
Went back on as couldnt be assed to do anything social and tv was rubbish.
Glad i did, havent calc ev stuff but ran a lot better across all sites.  Even managed to scoop a 200euro pot with a royal flush vs quad queens !!!
Now Sit on -£188 :)

Partial Recovery

Ran about $600 above ev for a change and ended up making about £500 profit on the day.   Was very volatile at the end though as i found a big fish on 20/40 and 30/60 limit that i played heads up as well as 3 and 4 handed.   Heads up i actually destroyed him and at best was +$2,000 but despite nearly felting him about 6 times he came back and i only won a few hundred $ in the end :(   Still be interested to see how much rake i managed when its updated 2moz.   Only thing i hope now is i dont follow the pattern fromlast month when i follow a good day with a truly awful one.

Just As Bad As It Gets

Another just plain brutal session just now.   This blog is just becoming a moanfest while this just continues and continues.  Honestly you just have to see this to believe it.   Every time i return to the tables i think this will be the time it will turn around and it just doesnt stop.   The session i had just now just, once again, sums up just how bad im running and there is just nothing i can do about it.   

Nothing played higher than 1/2 today and the 2 tracked sites show me as -$600 on ev.   Same stuff was happening across untracked sites too though and its just laughable really.  I guess in one sense i should move to multis or play plo only but i just think it will change the next session.  Apart from a few tilty allins im doing nothing wrong and everything im losing is just through the worst luck i now officially ive ever had over a continuous period.   2 days in and already at -£1,138 :(

Back To The Pain

6 days off from poker fully and returned to tables yesterday all set for a new attack.   Unfortunately the pokergods had other ideas and had obviously missed f**ing me over.  Within the first 2 hours i had lost £830 playing purely pl hi lo.  I had not bought in for more than £100 in any game and once i had put it into tracker i realised what i already knew.  It was just bad luck once again having run -$1,200 under ev on the allins.

Took 1.5hrs off to cool down having slapped the laptop, thrown the mp3 player across the room and punched 2 doors i felt i needed a break :(      Was a lot better the next 3 sessions and i ended the day down just £360 , although still about -$1,000 for ev on the 2 sites i track.

Just about to start todays grind , hoping to do about 8 hours (was close to that yesterday in the end).   I keep telling myself even if i break even but have 20+ days grinding like this a month ill make over £2,000 in rakeback.   It dont help much though when ya keep gettin it in as massive favourite or as 50/50 and just losing the majority of time.

EDIT:  AUGUST CAN F** OFF  , JUST HAD ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME SESSION AS YESTERDAYS FIRST ONE.  ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS BEING ON LOWER STAKES BUT COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DESTROYED IN THE MAJORITY OF FLIPS AND IT DONT MATTER HOW FAR AHEAD I AM THE PERFECT CARD SEEMS TO HIT THE RIVER FOR THESE IDIOTS 90% OF THE TIME IN ALL THE BIG POTS.   BYE BYE ANOTHER £470 , THIS IS JUST PLAIN RIDICULOUS.
