Decent Day

Despite drinking 3 days on the trot i still managed to play about 8 hours today.  The latter ones were all break even but my afternoon session was excellent with lots of fish about and lots of run good to report.

Since 2nd Nov i've kind of been in freefall and dropped from +£2,000 to only +£600ish over several days and sessions.  Today however saw me rake a lot and build that profit back up to +£1,380.

Played my supernova 1million$ freeroll Saturday and got the usual reminder of my hate for nlh.  Sit there building stack from 10k up to over 20k without any allins.  Call an allin for 1/3 stack with KQ and lose to A9off.  Rebuild stack back up to 22k with blinds now at 500/1k it was still a good stack with 2000/5500 left and 1000 getting paid.  Average stack 26k and i get it in KK vs QQ to lose a 48k pot :(  

Plan to try and play a lot this week starting with 2moz and hopefully up to Friday unless i get sick of it.

Hindsight Day Off

Stuck between thinking i was just being lazy cos ive started so well and not being in the mood to play.  Decided it was the first so played anyway and escaped a level afternoon.  Wasnt so fortunate in the evening though and shut down after less than 2 hours when i realised i really just wasnt in the mood today and should have had a day off.  Result -£500 and only self to blame although i did run bad on high mixed games again, will have to give them a wide berth from now on.

Good Day, Bad Finish

Bit frustrated as i write this as nothing seemed to go right in the last session.  Games were limited but i did find some juicy ones but rivers were killing me and right at the end i got 1 outted to pretty much sum the post midnight session up.   Lost £300 that session but overall it was another really really good day making about £500 profit and clearing that bonus for nearly £400 more.   Must not get carried away though, that last session reminded me how easy the profit can get wiped out.  Didnt play higher than 3/6 today and that was only like 12 hands.  Ran well early on 2/4 plo scooping a $1,200 pot and generally the hi lo alongside was very steady too.  Oh did play 10/20 8game for a small period as big fish there but no joy and took a knock there also in the last session as well.  Another solid day under my belt anyway.

Bumper Start

Pretty wild day overall, try and sum it up below.

First session was best in terms of winning stacks but was at lower stakes.   It gave me a cushion though as i started the next session about +£600 and soon lost that on 1 huge pot at 5/10 missing up and down straight and flush outs vs a made straight in a reraised pot preflop.  Fortunately on a diff site i ran good at 3/6 an hour or so later and left a $600 buyin table with about $1,500.  

I played a lot more hi lo games today for a change but still mixed in a reasonable portion of plo as well.  The dabbles in 3/6 and 5/10 were small and majority was 1/2 and 2/4.   The hi lo went really really well, only really losing near the end to a couple of runner runner types but i really cant complain as its been a really decent day to start the month on.  

Im sitting on +£818 and probably raked over $300 today.   Almost cleared a £380 bonus so it will be interesting to see if the curse of last months bonus clearing is still there when i return tommorrow and try to wipe that out before i make it !!!

October Figures

Just about to tally up final figures and take an early night after playing over 10 hours today at the tables.   Was a volatile day losing loads to start with and i was down about £1,200 wiping out my months profit early during that first session.   That session lasted 5 hours and by the end of it though i was only -£600 for it.    

The 2 shorter evening sessions saw me fair better.  All sessions have been on anything from 1/2 up to 5/10 and there was a point i almost sat 10/20 where a big fish was but couldnt do it as i knew i would have played a bit scared which you just cant do in plo.  

I think i will continue with the stakes ive been on the last few days and see how i fair.  I should probably put some sort of stop loss in place but i wont be playing much after the 19th when im abroad anyway so i think this month i will just stop if i get into an comfortable hole or at least ban myself from certain stakes should the need arise.   The next 2 months will be full of experimentation just like last year so see what games i will attack in 2012.   I think ive got a good balance going at the monent and seem to be enjoying it a bit more and even coping better than i would expect to when i do lose a stack or 2 in a row.  Will definitely play some live plo in the Caribbean too which is normally 5/5.

Final figure is  +£1,904 which im happy with.   Ive cleared a lot of bonuses which essentially make up that profit but on the other side ive probably raked somewhere around $4,000 which is more than i normally would have.   Looking back i know i hardly played the first week or 10days so actually ive done really really good volume since then and of course theres more rake at higher stakes.

Happy hunting people !
