2 nights of being up all nght :(

Ended up staying up all last night and the night before. Also still feeling sick from the turning stone trip, I might post some interesting hands from the trip or i might not. But heres the totals:

Cash hands played: 3213
Profit: +201.64


Total profit from last post: +201.64$

It's been a swingy couple of days. I was breakeven over about 2k hands and wondering why?! Then I was at a table with the WORST fish I've ever played with and made about 150 off of him alone which gave me a nice session, then I was down about 100$ the next day because of spewing/ nothing working, and Now I'm back up after a really nice session.

However, lately my redline is just going down the tubes (well its been slightly negative over the last 3k hands but overall at 50nl its negative). I've been put in a TON of situations where every flop hits villain's range and my cbets just wont work.

On top of that, i need to table select more when theres like 3-4 regs at a table and only 1-2 fish. I think at 50nl short stack tables and 100bb tables theres fish absolutely everywhere. I've been starting up my sessions by going on waiting lists and just waiting for 6 juicy tables.

Thats another thing, I feel alot more comfortable playing 6 tables at 50nl than i did 3 days ago. The only time I will lower the tables is if I have an absolutely huge fish donating and just want to focus alot more, or if I'm tired and winding down a session.

But anyways, overall at 50nl, I've played just under 15k hands. Right now my bb/100 is 5.5bb/100 which is really cool to think about. before the end of august, I'm pretty sure I was a losing/break even player at 25nl. But within just over a month (and a small sample size) I'm beating 50nl to my knowledge.

But, even though I think my game has gotten better/less tiltier, I still fucking suck at cash games. LOL What I mean is, I still see my self spewing every once in a while, and still see myself making stupid decesions/ making a decesion with bad logic or no logic at all. Hopefully when i go back to college I'll be able to study/work on my game more because of the environment I'll be in.

Lastly I'm leaving for umass sunday and it will be the end of the challenge. I will still post blogs probably once a week or whenever i play poker. I think I'm up around 3500$ for the summer which doesnt win the challenge. I'll post an official update tomorow before i go back. P.S. I'm thinkgin about playing 5$ rebuys all day tomorow to try and hit the 5k but who knows I might get lazy again ;)

  3. Yeah, Tuesdays and Thursdays aren't good and weekends are usually pretty busy pokerwise, but I'm free every other day.
