Day # 42....The losing streak continues.

Well today was supposed to be the day that i turned things around but that just didn't happen. I lost another good amount today and have extended my losing streak to 4 days now. It really sucks because i am a little behind pace now on the goal and lets face it, losing 7k in 4 days isn't very fun haha. Today was pretty much more of the same,running bad, getting out drawn, not hitting any draws, and running into huge hands. It does suck but to tell you the truth i really haven't had a bad streak like this in a while and i almost felt that it was due. Today i really feel like i was playing great but every time i would start to get anything going i would lose a huge pot and be in the negative again. The thing that really sucks about being in a streak like this is the fact that it really changes the way i play. When i pick up a big hand now i play scared like i am going to lose the pot no matter what and that is just not a good way to play/make money. So hopefully this ends tomorrow and i can get back on the right track with the goal. Well that sums up my shitty day on the tables, i don't feel like going over hands from today, and I'm out.

Day # 41..... Another bad session

Today I had another pretty bad session making it 3 losing sessions in a row. I don't really think i played all that bad today just was on the losing end of every big pot i was in and was getting drawn out on a lot. It definitely sucks because i was cruising right along with the goal but after today i am about back on pace instead of way ahead. I cant really think of anything i have been doing different the last 3 days that have led to my losses other than the fact i have lost every big pot i have been involved in. I have a lot of stuff that i need to do tomorrow so i am not sure if i will play or not and i think that taking a day off might be good right now. I say that now but i will probably end up playing tomorrow so who knows we will see how that goes. Anyways here are some hands from today's bad session and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?859483 - he actually said later on i made a good fold so i dont know whether that meant he had JJ or kk/aa,either way there wasnt anything i could beat here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859489 - here my aces get smacked. thats it
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859491 - this guy here is completely clueless. I make this play more often with a big pair and i guess he put me on A high when i reraised under the gun to 330??? Such a bad play by him and i couldve fired at the turn or river but i had him on something like 77-1010 and figured i would get called. He said he was just learning how to play and i guess im just happy a 2 didnt come haha.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859504 - here i make a move and run into a big hand but i still had 12 outs but obviously i miss it all.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859507 - such a sick hand for heads up. thats all i got.

Day # 40...

Today i was planning on playing in some of the big Sunday tournaments but didn't play in any of them. I really wasn't in the tournament mood and it was a 530 buy in today on pokerstars instead of the usual 215. Also i just don't think that my tournament game is good enough right now to be playing in that high of a buy in. Instead i played about 5 hours of cash games on both sites and did ok on full tilt and pretty bad on pokerstars. I played like an hour of 25/50 to start on stars which i couldn't get anything going so i quit that game down about 2k. So once i started playing 5/10 it was like i was starting off in the hole and i really think it effected the way i played. Also i kind of felt like i was just going through the motions today instead of really having my total focus on my play. I was making bad calls, running into some big hands, and just wasn't able to get any kind of momentum going. I hope tomorrow i can really focus on my play and put together a winning session to make up for the past 2 days. Anyways i am pretty tired from the weekend so here are some hands from today and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?856591
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856593 - pretty nice bluff here. I know he has ak and have played with him many times before and i was pretty sure i could get him to fold here by pushing the river. He said after the hand he did have ak but thought i had qq which i would play the same way and he knows that.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856596 - had him on a hand like aq or some type of draw with his big raise. I come over the top to make it look like i have a real strong hand and once he called i knew i wasnt getting him to go away. With his bet on the turn being so small i think he had 89 on this spot.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856599 - pretty standard for me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856600 - Here i make the worst call i have made in a while on the river. I went with my read but still i am only beating a bluff here and i really shouldve folded. Just bad play by me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856606 - another example of why the 5/10 full tilt game is great. The players completely over play every hand and as long as you sit back and pick up anything you are going to get paid.

Day 39... I played amazing and ended up down 1k, I love Full Tilt.

This post was from my play on Friday but by the time i was done i didn't feel like doing it so i will now. I played for about 3 hours Friday only playing on full tilt and i put up some pretty good numbers until i got raped. I played 3 tables on fulltilt(2,5/10nl and a 3/6nl) and i was playing pretty good. I was picking off peoples bluffs, picking up a lot of pots, and just really seemed like i couldn't do anything wrong, i was in the zone. But you might have just noticed how i said i was playing good until i got raped and i will tell you all about that in a second. When i quit my 3 hour session of playing the 5/10 and 3/6 i was up about 2400 and was done for the day with a nice profit, i thought i was done. So after drinking for a while we are about to go to the bar and i had like 10 minutes to kill so i decide that i am going to sit at 25/50 and just steal some blinds to make a few hundred more. After a few minutes of this i was up like 200 and we hadn't had a hand go to the flop yet until i picked up KK. I was about to just quit until i pick up KK and i manage to double up for 5k, so after this i cant just get up and leave because now I'm free rolling and still have a few minutes til we leave. He grinds a little of his money back and then the sickest pot of the night came up which obviously i lost. Anyways long story short i went from being up 2400 on the day to being down about 1k in the matter of about 10 minutes. It does suck knowing all my "hard" work from earlier was now cancelled out but i played the hands perfect and of course in true Full Tilt fashion got sucked out on. I didn't play at all on Saturday because i was pretty hung over but i am going to play in a few of the big tournaments today and hopefully get something going in them. With that being said here are some hands from Friday's play, check back later to see how i did today, and I'm out.

Hands from when i was up.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854857 - I had people trying to bluff at me all day and heres another.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854863 - I thought i mightve had the best hand but i dont know what i do if he fires like 300 or something on the river.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854868 - pretty sure once he bets the river i am beat but 4 handed i have a big hand and i pick up information by calling.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854875 - This guy had to be getting sick of me because this was like the 3rd bluff i had caught him in with another mediocre hand.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854882 - same guy again.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854892 - I dont know why everyone was bluffing at me so much but i just kept picking them off. pretty easy to do though with the nuts haha.

Now the 2 hands that took me from 2400 up to - 1k
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854899 - my hand holds up.......... weird
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854905 - just me getting sucked out on the river by a 4 outer for 13k haha. This was pretty sick i inst-called him once he pushed the flop and when they turned up the cards it was like i knew i had already lost before the river. So in true full tilt fashion i get it all in as a big favorite and lose once again, unfortunately it was at the worst possible time.
