sess 2 37/48 2.75

Great session. Ran amazing and played well too. Best session in a long time. Quit early so I could play some MTTs while 4 tabling 9 man 5.5s. Didnt do too well in those but Im cashing in a couple of the MTTs. Got up to A with two stars in the PPlabs rating system for whatever thats worth.

sess 1 38/61 4

Starting off really hot but went cold the last 20 games or so. Still booked a decent win but it was looking like I was gonna have a big one. Got a little frustrated/impatient near the end and probably lost myself a little profit. I don't know if i was just running into big hands, but I wasn't doing very well playing blind v blind when down to 7.

10 session review 370/602 36.75

Over this 10 session period I earned 449.20 playing 36.75 hours. This averages to 12.22 an hour. Pretty similar results to last time. I had a rough period in the middle and also was underbankrolled and played less than the maximum number of games a few times. Only one session of over 4 hours. This is something I really need to fix to raise my profit per hour. I did play 10 hour more than last time, so at least I'm improving. My goal for next time is 45 hours and 600 dollars.

sess 10 40/67 3.5

Despite my good showing I played pretty shitty. Way to loose with my calls and raises. Ran pretty well, except for the end. Thought I was gonna book a much bigger win. Playing the normal format sngs messed with my play a little I think. If im gonna play these too I'm gonna need to figure out a better way to make sure the styles need to play each don't leak over to the other. Pretty happy about this 10 session set. Excited to see how i did.

sess 9 43/68 4.5

I combined the set of 17 i did while playing the VIP freerolls and the one I played afterwards. Played pretty well in the MTTs but only mincashed in one. The set went pretty well too. I played some 5.5 9 man sngs and did pretty well afterwards. I might play some more of these to see if my ROI is higher but right now I'm just trying to build my bankroll and try to move up to the 10.8s.

sess 8 27/48 3

Played pretty lousy this session. Made about 4 stupid plays that cost me between 10and 15 dollars of equity. I've played a lot today so it might be due to fatigue. Overall I'm pleased with the volume and results of my tourneys today. Except for my last session I think I played very well and even in that session I made some laydowns that I dont think i could have made a few months ago. Hopefully they were correct but using proper ICM, I think they were unless the villians were making huge bluffs. Kinda excited for the MTTs tommorow, havent played any in a while. Hopefully Ill be able to function well playing both those and DONs at the same time. Only one way to find out. Should wrap up my goldstar for the month tommorow; glad I did it after not having internet for a good week and a half.

sess 7 33/50 3.5

The numbers for this session might not be exact because pplabs was down for a few hours and doesn't have this sessions results, but I made a profit of 60 dollars and prob played around 50 tournies so that would be 33/50. Ran pretty hot this tourney. Got in trouble with KK a few times when I prob could have layed it down, but its just so hard to do that at this level. I did lay down KK to what turned out to be aces so at least i had one. This is the best session I've had in a while and it feels good to get back to booking decent wins. I'm hoping pplabs gets back working because it will really screw my tracking up if it doesnt. Prob gonna get another 50 or so games in and then get some sleep. I have two FPP VIP toureys tommorow, 100k freeroll and 30k for 100 FPP, that I want to be rested for. I think ill prob 16 table DONs during that time so I'm making those hours as profitable as possible. On another note, I'm really pleased with myself and how these sessions have been longer. Hopefully this will show when I calculate my hourly profit at the end of this 10 session mark.

sess 6 47/76 4

Nice to have another winning sessions after a few losing and break even ones. I reread my earlier posts and noticed I almost always seem to be talking about how bad I'm running, so I'm gonna try and avoid that and focus more on how I handle the inevitable bad beats Im gonna recieve. This session I felt like I handled them well and played pretty close to flawless. I seem to be limping in more with hands like TT or JJ and playing small ball on flops that look harmless. I don't think this is a really plus EV way to play, but I havent gotten into too much trouble with it.

sess 5 54/92

Added money to my account so i could play a full, or close to, set. Run really bad the first 3.5 hours, but got hot and finished well. Longest session so far, hard to play through the frustration, but I did and pretty well too i think. It was really hard to add money, UIEGA really needs to be overturned.

sess 4 13/26 2.25

Brutal session. Everything that could go wrong did. Then pstars does server shit so i cant reg for more sngs. I decide to play cash games and lose 130 bucks in 30 minutes. Now i have 8 buyins and prob need to add funds. I'm really pissed at the situation and also how stupid I was.

sess 3 24/47 2.75

I was gonna play about 4 hours but I started running really shitty and decided to quit early. Of the 23 tournies I lost, i finished 6 in 13 of them, unbelievably sick. A few of them I let myself get to shortstacked, but a lot of them I just got fucked over. I started off really hot and was looking forward to a nice winning session, but I guess it wasn't to be. Just gotta shake it off, take a nap, go for a run, and get back at it.

sess 2 41/66 3.75

I was really hoping to do 5 hours but I got so tired that i had to end it early. I ran really bad this session Ak lost to Ax at least 5 times and kk and qq lost to Ax numerous times too. However I got a pretty good profit. I feel like I played pretty close to flawless this session kept my cool very well through the beats. I had a top 5 reg in a lot of my games and he was extremely agro. I feel like a made some really good laydowns with aa and kept from getting involved when I had a comfortable stack. Very strange how this reg was bellittling a lot of the other players. I was gonna say something but its really bad EV to start beefs with people, epsecially people who are gonna be in a lot of your games, so i just kept my mouth shut. I have my bankroll back up to a safe level where I can comfortable run as many tables as I want and withstand some downswings. Gonna get a few hours of sleep then get back at it. My goal is to get 18 hours in before I leave for LA on thurs.

Sess 1 45/62 4.5

First session in a while. Started off running pretty bad and getting impatient since I was only playing half the tables i usually do. I think I played pretty well and ended up on a hot streak and made a nice profit. I'm back up to about 22 buyins which will have me running at near peak table numbers. Think I'm gonna go for a run and get another session in.

10 session review 273/451 25.2

For this session I showed a profit of 294.6 and an hourly profit of 11.69. This was my first time recording this so i dont really have anything to compare it too. I felt like I played pretty well, but I had a lot of internet issues that really fucked me over. I also had a lot of short sessions that messed up my hourly rate. I need to start doing sessions with a minimum of 5 hours which is half of what Ive been averaging so far. My goal for my next 10 sessions is gonna be 40 hours and 550 dollars. I only left myself with 15 buyins so I'm gonna have to work to get my roll back up to where I'm playing as many tables as I'm used to.

sess 10 31/59 4

I finished this session a week and a half ago but the internet wasn't working at my bew apt, so i couldnt record it or play more. This last session started off really shitty and I had to finish really hot to avoid a huge losing session. I had just a small lost which was my first one in a while. Ive been playing live the last week or so but I havent been doing that well. Im really gonna have to bust my ass to make up for lost time.

sess 9 17/26 1.3

Just did one set because I started off running like shit and playing like shit. Caught a good run of cards to finish with a decent profit. Really disappointed in myself with how easily I started tilting and how bad I played. I really need to start getting some longer sessions in to maximize my time spent playing. Gonna take a nap and try to get some good hours in.

sess 8 29/46 2

Pretty standard session. Got into a fight with some dude who was correcting and insulting some fish. Knew he was an idiot when he said anyone who plays for real money is a professional poker player and quoted me his gross results as his tourney profits. Got me a little distracted and I timed out from a few tables, but I hate letting people get away with shit like like. Had my first pokerstar siting last night. Saw "the magician" playing in a 65 dollar tourney. Must have not had anything better todo. Played 2 4 limit for 2.5 hours and won six big bets. Just cashed out a pretty big check from pstars so I'l probably play a little higher once that comes. Cash games still seem unbelievably soft here. Gonna go work out then prob get a (hopefully) four to five hour session in.

sess 7 35/53 3.0

Great session. Started off a little bad, but I finished well and even was on the good side of some bad beats. Was planning on playing for 5 or 6 hours but I'm still adjusting to the heat and elevation of LV, and I'm feeling a little tired. Internet kept cutting out but I didn't let it bother me and it didn't affect my results. Prob gonna play again in a few hours and then go play live tonight. I'm gonna start calculating profit and time spent every 10 sessions. I need to have longer ones to increase my profit per hour that I lose when I don't run 26 tables while I'm starting and stopping.

sess 6 23/41 2.75

Another rollercoaster session. Started off running pretty bad, but endured it and didn't let it affect my play. Then I hit another bad streak and this time I couldn't get past it. Started calling on draws and semibluffing for about 20 min. Ended up playing okay and even made a small profit. I was pretty tired after driving 5 hours and I think this had a little to do with my play. I played live earlier and won 8 big bets of a 3 hour session. I definitely need to get better at play when I'm tired w/o tilting.

sess 5 16/28 1.5

Just did a set of 28 today because I'm getting ready to leave for vegas. Ran a little bad, made a few calls I shouldn't have, but still made a little profit. Maybe play a little live when I get there, but I'll still be looking to get 80 or says games in later.

sess 4 22/41 2.5

Brutal session. Started out laying KK down on J35 board to a reg who turned out to have aces. Thought this might be a good sign, but I lost 11 of my first 12 tournies. All those hands that had held up the last few days, couldn't today. There was one reg who twice called my all ins with straight draws and hit both times. I was a little shellshocked from this rough start played a little more aggresively than I should have. Because of this, and the fact I hadn;t eaten today, I decided to end my session early. My pokerstars check finally came so I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow. I figured I'd give myself the afternoon of since I'll be playing 10 hours a day for the next few weeks or more. Really need to get my tilt under control. Turned what could have been a small profit session into a break even one. Definitely need to eat at least somehting in the morning before I start a long session.

sess 3 47/74 3.75

Roller coaster session. Started off amazingly hot, prob won 17 of my first 20. Then the internet went out for 20 min and when it came back seven of my tournies had ended and I think I only won one of them. Then i thought id clicked "I'm back" on all of them but over the next hour i lost 3 tournies I had been sitting out of. I had planned to play for five to six hours but these problems, along with getting bad beat a few times had me in a state I didn't want to be playing in. After the internet cut out, I 3bet shoved light knowing I'd prob be called twice, which is basically burning money in DONs. After about ten minutes I stopped tilting and played the rest of my session pretty well. Competetion seemed pretty soft today. There are a lot of soft MTTs on sundays too so it's gonna be hard to decide which to play. Even with all the problems I had today, I still finished up 14 BIs over four hours, which I guess I should be happy with. I just can't stop thinking about what could have been. Oh well.

Sess 2 21/26 1.5

Another short session today. I'm hoping to leave for vegas in a few hours. Today i went 21/26 playing for 1.5 hours. The sess started rocky with AA(A7 TTT(JJJ and my trip 8s getting outkicked. These are laydowns I could have made but at this level I just don't give people credit for big hands and I think in the longrun, it's more profitable not to. After that everything pretty much went my way. I don't really suck out on anyone, but all my hands held up and it's always nice when that happens. I thought my bubble play was nearly perfect and I'm getting better at not watching the results of all ins.

MTT sess

My mtt session went pretty well. My total bi for these was 23.2 and i netted a profit of 28.8. I cashed in 3 of my 6 events. 3 of 104 in a razz event, 23 of 735 in a shorthanded PLO8 event and 4 of 45 in a NLH sng. I'm doing these more for practice than profit right now. I felt like I played really well, but I definiltey see where I could have played better. Especially in the omaha event. This is one of my first experiences with a solo razz event and I think this will really help with the razz portion of the multigame tourneys i play. I find myself tightening up around the button, something which I really need to get rid of if I'm going to maximize my profit in MTTs. I definitely want to start playing for MTTs. My ROI is these is around 50 percent which is about four times what is is for DONs. That being said, these don't offer the same dollar per hour profit which the DONs do, and since poker is my sole source of income right now, I probably wont be able to dedicate more than 10 hours a week to them. Still, it was a nice change of pace for the grind which is multitabling DONs and it was actually fun playing poker for the first time in a while. I've been making some decent runs in MTTs recently and I'm starting to think that they are going to end up being the most profitable thing for my poker career. But until then, I'll just keep grinding the DONs.

Sess 1

Today I played for 2.8 hours and went 32/47. I took a couple of nasty beats early, but I felt like I ignored them and played well. I had been 30 tabling the last few days so doing 26 felt pretty easy. I was trying to not watch my all ins both to get to other tables faster and also so I wouldn't see bad beat and get tilted. I did this more than I have in the past, but I still have a lot to work on. This session was shorter than what I want to do, but I'm going to play some MTTs tonight and I wanted to get some food first. Fri nights are usually pretty soft for SNGs so i hope its the same for MTTs.

Back

Even though I havent posted in a while, I've still been playing. In the last three months I've earned 2640 from SNGs and another 400 or so from MTTs and FPP bonuses. I gave up trying to multi ring games as cash games online are tough to beat and extremely frustrating. I have played around 400 10.8 DONs with an ITM around 58 percent.

I am in the process of moving so once I am settled I think I will move up to these permanently. For about the last two months I have been running continous sets where I enter tournaments as I finish others. This is the best way to maximize hour profit. I was up to doing 30 but I found it to be a little to fast so now I'm doing 26 to start and keeping 22 going til i finish. I have noticed that my ITM has dipped a little as I have added more tables, but the profit per hour is better and thats all that matters. I have also started avoiding entering DONs when i see regs who i know are good. Some want regs in their games because theyre easy to steal from, but I'd much rather have someone that cashes 40 to 50 percent of the time than someone who does it 55 to 60 percent of the time. I feel my endgame has gotten a lot better these past few months, but my starting game still needs some work. I let bad beats at one table loosen me up at others which costs me a lot of money.

I've started to work out and meditate before sessions which will help me keep an even temperment and play to the best of my abililty. I also am going to start logging my sessions and putting them here so I can get better hourly figures and for self evaluation.
