10.8 session 38/62 2.5 (changed to 5.4 rates)

I had a good set of 5.5 9 mans so i did a session of 10.8 DONs. I went 19/31 playing 2.5 hours. I was definitely out of my comfort zone. I played okay but could have played a lot better. People here played a lot tighter to start and were a lot more aggressive on the bubble. Even though I earned a decent profit, Im gonna move back down to the 5s for now. My bankroll is too small and I dont think I can play these optimally like that. I found myself watching all ins and feeling the beats a lot more than I usually do. It was a good expereince and hopefully Ill be back up there soon.

sess 7 33/59 3.5

My luck didn't carry on to this session. I was also pretty tired and made some stupid mistakes. I had one misclick, which I guess are just gonna happen with this volume of games. But what really pissed me off when when I pushed on the bubble because I didn't realize that one guy was gonna be all in the next hand. Really fucking stupid shit I never do; tilts me worse than 10 bad beats would. Aside from that I think I played really well. I've gotten really disciplined at folding hands like kk, qq and AK when i have over 3k chips and don't need to be in there. Listened to the new Jay-z album.

sess 6 55/75 4

Disgustingly good session. I'd like to say it was because of how good I was playing, which I was, but I was also running unbelievably. Was a little too agro when I first started but I cooled that and played well the rest of the time. Gonna go for a run. Might play some 5.5s before I do another set tonight. Finally got around to listening to the new coldplay album; really good.

sess 5 32/57 3.5

Was running good til the end. My lack of concentration seems to be coupled with a lack of care when I get bad beat. Hopefully I can get rid of the former while keeping the latter. I was a bit more focued this time but I did some stupid shit like misclicks and not noticing that UTG had limped in and thinking that I was just raising the blinds. Maybe its time to move up to 10s where Ive always been focused and cared about the results. Gonna cash out down to 200 and then after I get back to 400 ill try some 10s.

MTTs and 9 man 5.5s

Got the money back I lost from that bad session and then some from 5.5s and the 6 max 5.5 2k person mtt. Finished 37 but I was poised to go really deep. I had 200k chips with 40 left and raised a guy with ak. He had KJ and hit a jack on the flop and I spent about 80k tryikng to get him off of it. The very next hand I was dealt aces. I min raised because when I had done it before twice this guy two to my left had 3 bet shoved on me. He didnt and the bb who had like 300k called. Came JT4. He bet 10k i called. Blank on turn he bets 35k I call. 8 on the river 38 k i called. He shows me J8 and Im crippled. I dont know I just kept calling. I was a little scared of 2 pair on the flop and was hoping to improve. I also thought it he was just bluffing I didnt want him to stop. Maybe I should have shoved but if youre gonna with these you need to get all the chips and I think the way I played it was the best for dong that. Two days in a row Ive gone deep in that tourney and the time before I took 7th. Really good format for me.

sess 4 23/52 3

One of the worst sessions Ive had in months. Played like shit and ran like shit. I never really felt like I was totally focused and concentrating. Possibly because Ive been doing so well lately and dont have that same drive to win or possibly Im just starting to get burned out from 8 hour days. Whichever it is, its something I need to get fixed. Got the mouse fixed just took the ball out and cleaned the rollers with a qtip. About as blue collar hands on fixit as I get.

sess 3 26\45 3

Had to end this one early because my mouse kept sticking. Really annoying and really hard on my wrist and arm. Started off running really good and hot but cooled off near the end Finished 40 of 2000 in a 5 dollar 6 max tourney for a 5 BI cash. Lost a lot of chips when my AQ lost to AT on a river ten. I bet it the whole way then checked the river and he checked behind after sucking out. ALways funny when that happens. At the same time I won a lot of coin flips and got lucky too so i can't get that mad over one bad card. Finished 25/300 in a PLO8 tourney for a 2 BI cash.
