I should post more often.
I really should! I hate having to write long posts and trying to remember crap I did like 2 weeks ago.
Ok, pokerwise has been a bit weird, have started playing a bit more often, I won another tournament on Full Tilt last week, $30+3 but only a small-ish field so 1st was good for $720, which was nice. This weekend I decided to spend all day Saturday playing and well ermm things didn’t go so well, in fact I had my biggest single day loss on record, which was pretty gross. Basically I was getting cold decked left right and centre and didn’t win a single flip, then I went on monkey tilt and started playing $109’s. Yey, ship the +$1k loss.
Oh well, it’s all relative I guess, and it’s only a small dent on my roll.
As a result of this I’m gonna go back to grinding the STT’s to re-assure myself I can win. In an effort to motivate myself (cos playing a billion stt’s is like chewing gravel) I’m gonna set myself a challange. I’m gonna be 4 tabling the $33’s, and would like to try play say 100 games in the next 10 days? (10 days cos I’m off on a 5 day piss up in Slovakia then). 100 too low? I really don’t get chance to play that often so it will probably require fitting in 15-20 games per session. Yeah ok I like the sound of that, I will update in the blog after every session with all my stats so you can laugh at how bad/good I run.
In other news, I completely ignored my detox, and got completely trolleyed last weekend, v.v.messy. All day drinking in the sun, lots of beautiful girls, then an all night mash up back at my place that finished Sunday lunchtime. My neighbours love me. This weekend was a much more sedate affair, Friday night visited some friends in Hebden Bridge and we went out to a lush Thai restaurant, how very mature. Saturday was… well I already talked about that, it’s now taboo and never to be mentioned again. Sunday (lastnight) was a little more hectic, went to some bank holiday special club night at the Faversham, it was a bit pants, we only went cos my friend was DJing in the backroom, the main room was like an embarrasing white boy version of 8 Mile (It all be Hip Hop and rappers yo!), which is definately not up my street. Needless to say, we got drunk and had a good time anyway.
Sooo, I am now definitely on detox, and am gonna be chewing gravel with the stt’s for the next 10 days, can’t wait!
good luck with the grind. I’ve decided to *try* and make time to play over the next two weeks to see if it’s viable to get into it whilst finishing of my PhD. should be interesting.

I’m back, eased myself back in with an easy $10 session which I obv. owned despite losing my entire stack on one table in the last hand with my AA v 88 losing to an 8 on the flop. my first ever straight flush ocurred and I ended up.

Good work! I would have thought with your financial situ you would be looking to play as much as possible!

yeah, but my time situ means I can’t. Sat down for an hour on Saturday and played my first NL25 session for 6 months. Won $30 in an hour 2-tabling 6max. Going to stay at NL25 until I’m comfotable on 4 tables again.
