Getting Bored And Escaped

Shocker of a day, if it wasnt for a ridiculous AAxx holding up 4way on 5/10 plo for $2,800 i would be around $2,000 down probably.   Havent enjoyed it at all , just too much of a slog and in need of a day off.  Sunday cant come quick enough, only 2 more days then i can play as little poker as i want b4 new year.    Great escape figure for Dec sitting currently on +£2,280.

Still Kind Of Going Strong

Struggled a bit today but fortunately not with winning, was just battling a headache most of the day.  Full volume today and intend to do same next few days as planned.  Didnt manage a full day yesterday but did ok and hit another $750 in the promotion just to ensure im completely hooked until it finishes.  Looking like it will finish late Fri or during Saturday so a bit earlier than i thought.

I did try some different stuff today , namely stacking.  Ive never really tried this before and having up to 16 pl hi lo games going at once was maybe pushing it a bit.  Done a few sessions though and seems i can cope with 13 or 14 without too much hassle , all be it at v v low stakes while i trial it out.   Wanna try same on Stars before the end of the month.  I tried plo yesterday and it was trickier as im more used to playing the player and not so much my cards.

Right im waffling and i wnna get to bed to recharge for more 10hour volume 2moz :(   Just gonna have a look at tracker since last post and mention that below, im currently now on +£2,194 for Dec profits.

+$1,000 , about 600 above ev !   (still about 900 below ev for dec though so profit feels even better)

Bedtime

Quick post as im drained from a full 10 hours day.   Not much to report , only raked 25% of max yesterday making like £50.   Today started well winning a few hundred pound but despite it being a Sat night with lots of good tables about i just couldnt push on this evening and donated some back.  Still happy enough and sitting on +£936 now.  Expecting a full day off tommorrow but hangover dependent i then want to hammer it flat out 10 hours a day until nxt Sunday if possible.

Dec Starts Here .....

Struggled big time Tues/Wed for both motivation and run good, prob not playing best either and started the day today -£1250 after £700 and £550 losses respectively.

Today , well tonight, however is a completely different story.  After a non afternoon break even frustrating time ive just ran as hot as possible tonight and seemed to scoop in on nearly every table i played.  That loss has turned into a +£713 profit somehow although that does include a $750 lucky promotion hit i got as well.  Its the first day ive done $500 rake since ive been back too and im absolutely shattered but so glad i pushed on through.   Prob out tommorrow night and most of Sunday so volumes gonna suffer a bit but barring any bad hangovers i really wnna play flat out the rest of the time until next weekend or so.  Im amazed im still actually below ev for the month by $500 odd so today has really been exceptional given i didnt play higher than 2/4.

After nxt wkend ill play when i fancy it and experiment a bit on diff games and sites just to check im happy as i am and look for other options when my games are dry like they were this afternoon.

Nov Figures

Nov finished officially on 2nd Dec due to holiday overlapping a bit.  Not much to report there, lost a little on cash games but cashed in my first 2 mtts out of 3 played to cover that.  Cashes were small for sommat like 6th/52 and 8th/100  but the blinds were huge so double up on either of the busts could have put me in with a great shot at $5,000-$8,000 for first or 2nd in them :(     Online connection wasnt reliable and i knew i needed time out anyway so barely played.  Was raring to get back into it when i left a few days ago but im knackered still from the travelling and a minor bug i seem to have picked up on the last day.  Today will be my first attempt at getting back to the online 10hrs a day grind while the same promo is on as when i left.   Basically plan is to hammer it until thats over in 10-14days then take lots of time out and experiment a little bit before the new year.

Nov final profit was £8,104 which is my 2nd best of the year.  It also puts me £2k above 2010 total profit so hoping i can stay above that at the least for Dec   :)
