Easing up on the ring

Been tough the game at bodog last few days....seems a big onflux of some real good solid players. I usually do well against solid players but not these ones....not being able to hit draws or win flips hv also added to the cause, but I hv made some bad calls and bad shoves as well. I decided to cashout and take sometime off from the cash games there, everytime I take a break and play cash I do well. Also, since I am cashing out a big portion of my BR, I will need a new plan to try and regain some lost ground.

This is the analysis from bodog:
Played 7 days and made a net profit of 9241$.....before the downswing it was more like 17k, sucks loosing half the profits, but still not a bad overall result there.

Today I am playing the nightly tournies, just 3 of them and I really hope I play well. I dont care if I win or loose, I just want to hv my solid steady tourny game back.
Tomorrow will be end of mnth analysis, if dont cash in anythign today it will be around 45k net profit for the mnth (I cancel out quite a few expenses from my profit....so I actually made 50k or little below tht, this mnth). Had a rocky start to the mnth but then in 2 days I made 71k...so really, I shud hv made something like 75k, still need to plug some of my leeks.
I am also thinking of coming up with a plan for building my 30k roll, so tht I hv enough for the wsop. I am thinking something in the lines of keeping a BR of 10k for ring games and another 10k for tournies and hving 10k as back up. Not sure wat I will decide on, but I will definitely think it all out tomorrow and come up with a solid plan. If I dont do well today I might just take the week off....no point pushing ur luck or playing when u feel u r not playing ur A game...Breaks are always good.

Sucky..

Horrid day, just falt out played bad. Overplayed every hand, hate it when I do tht. So pissed at myself. I better get my shit together for sundays....its turning into quite a disaster. To make things worse I donked off 4k of my 7k profit in the ring games today....still up 1.4k but was up huge. Frustrating, although I was tired and kinda hungover from last night. But no excuses for such a dismissal showing.
Last day of the mnth....barring any bad beats I shud win the FT big one tomorrow.

Cricket world cup

Tilted..

1st time tilted in long time and tilted pretty bad....sigh!
Blew 6k but thts wat I made yesterday....still stinks a lot though
Tomorrow is tourny day and I am playing just the Sudnay majors....idea is to play a solid game and try and make it deep in atlesat one.
The line up is:
the 3 majors at PS
the 2 majors at FT
and UB big one.
Not gonna be online or hv my phone on.....far too mny people distract me on sunday, as a matter of fact, I wont even hv chat box open on, in any of the tables. Really want to try and do well tomorrow and end the mnth strong.
Just when I was sailing I get hit by bus.
Monday too is just tourny day.

Grindin..

Thursday night I went out drinkin with some frnds and got really wasted. Friday, I went to CC and got a hair cut and did little shopping.....dont hv any clean clothes and the cleaners dont do any laundry......it takes a lot for me to finally get motivated to do my laundry and I dont tht kind of movtivastion is gonna come anytime soon, so for hygenic reasons I needed some new clothes (I know I am very lazy!)
O, I played some small sessions of 5-10 too.....ring games are seriously sick, means getting stuck 2-3k is normal, loosing big pots is normal too, but I know I hv an edge in tht game so I have take all the swings in my stride. I did win my biggest pot at 5-10 ever, it was sb vs bb, I raised to 30 from sb and bb called. Both of us were playing super aggro and had stacks of 2460 and 3500 respectively. Flop came 5s 9s Kd, I led out 60 (pot bet) and he made it around 220, I flat called him (didnt give him much respect at this time for a real hand), turn was a Ah and I led out again for 222 and he instant shoved on me....easy call, he flipped 67s for flsuh draw and gut shot str8 draw, making me 4-1 favorite to win....he missed his draw and gave me my biggest pot at 5-10 :)
Overall I am up more than 10k, but the game at times is pretty tough. Many sharks in tht game and its best to choose the people u want to go to war with carefully.
Today its gonna me mostly 5-10 and the absolute 150k gaurantee (hvnt played a tourny for a while) will be playing all tournies tomorrow (Sunday donations as usual). Although I plan to change my usual line up in a bid to save some money.

5-10 session

Trying to stick to my plan of playing smaller but more frequent session at 5-10. I am up a fair amt there now, although the players I hv been playing there hv been pretty decent. I was on my game today, was just outhinking them......got to love deepstacked poker (almost everyone had full buy in at the table which gives more than 100bbs and allows a lot of play). Imagination is the key to success in ring games and I was just on it today.
Played the 300$ big tourny at PS and completely donked it. I am in no mindset to play tournaments and am trying to hold out till Sunday. There is a lot of focus and energy required for tournaments and I just dont feel tht I am upto it at present. For now I think I will be playing just be playing tournaments on sudnay and monday, maybe saturdays if I feel like it (gr8 value absolute poker tourny) and this I will do for most part of next mnth as well. Many of the top online pros are conflicted with my playing style, many of them hv said tht when I play my best I am really really good but most of the times I am a donk...which is kinda true, trying to solve this by playing more selectively till the wsop.
Classes hv been going well this term as well, as a matter of fact I hvnt missed a class this week and hv been upto date on all the assignements, homework and quizzes. Doing well academically makes me feel good about myself, although its tough with numerous distractions I have. Its a good life, but not an easy one.
O, I got my apt cleaned today.....man it feels goood to live in a clean enviroment once again :)
Also, I would like to give a shoutout to my boy imperium (sorel mizzi), he is top 3 in chips with 27 left in the wpt championship (1st is just a few million....think he is already gauranteed 100k$)....he is one of the true superstars and one of the most down to earth people u can ever interact with. I hv learned a lot , from just talking about the game and watching him play, it will be awesome to see him take tht bitch down. Go Impyyyy!

Confused!

I am on a break from tournaments but not from poker :)
After much contemplation I decided to play 5-10NL ring game at bodog.....not sure if its a good idea since the last time I played there I lost 9k in like 2 days....I am however up 25k in tht game overall despite the brutality of those 2 days. Obv I need to stay disciplined, I will admit tht there is 1 guy in tht gme who really holds over me. To make good money I must really avoid playing him (the fucker always calls my bluffs), must put the ego aside. I was up 2k today but then went and dropped 1700 in the last session.I did miss three flush draws,each of them were for over 1k in pot size, so tht set me down a bit. I did play a bit sloppy as well, so really cant blame all of it on luck.
Since I am living in a pig sty again, I am hving the cleaners come again tomorrow, a cleaner enviroment did wonders for me last time....might hit the nightly tournies tomrrow to see if it works again.
Summer plans are shaping are pretty well, the plan is to spend a mnth in vegas for the series (will miss first 2 weeks of wsop because of college crap but will be there for the last 4 weeks of it),then travel to Europe for 2 weeks (want to visit Amsterdamn, London, Paris and Sweden....been saving my fpp points at PS so tht I can use them to buy hotel credit value of 1k$) and spend the remainder of the summer in India. Ofcourse I need to comeback in fall to Philly for my graduation (hate college). This is all very tentative, but wheels are already in motion and we r close to closing on the house in vegas fo the summer ( we r renting it for 6 weeks begining June 1st, thts when the wsop starts). Still a long time is left, but I really like planning things out ahead of time....hopefully within the next 2 weeks I will be to finalise my summer plans, at that time I will be also able to anazlyse my finances a bit better too, the last few weeks hv been pretty insane with all the confusion with cashouts, backing and gazillions tournaments, I hv been, in all honesty, a bit lost and CONFUSED!
