My bankroll is still the majority intact, however, my desire to play and my ability to handle bad beats have both massively declined the more I play. This really slaughters anyones win rate, most sessions I'd get to a point where I was up around 3 buyins. At whi...

Finished the month running bad and playing worse so I took the last 5 days off and just chilled with the girlfriend. Got back into it today and had a good day, I've also started playing around with the 8-game tables. From what I've seen these could be very profit...

Now I just need to get back grinding out some hands before the month ends. I really don't think I will meet my monthly goals, but I'm def happy with how I've been playing recently and if I can continue that trend and carry it into the coming months I should see some really nice results. Still no word on the job thing which is p...

It's also put me in a couple rather tough spots that I'm not sure how standard/spewy they are. In the two pots I have in mind I'm playing against a villian somewhere in the 35-40/27-30/15-18% 3bet range. The first hand I raised mp with A/Qo got 3b...

Did the whole bar hopping thing got way to drunk etc. Naturally he thought it was a good idea to drive and I was to drunk to think it was a bad idea. On the way to a bar in the busy area known as the square where there's always a ton of cops I decide I need to puke and force him to pull over into a parking lot. Were parked(very poorly)...

Due to obligations I was no where near either of these so I sat down for a 16 hr 19,000 hand grind session that went very well. Here's how it ended up......I'm extremely happy with how it went, now I'm going to go get some sleep. I'll update my month later. [...

The 3rd session however, went extremely...

Here's my two favorites....... [spoiler] [HAND=709745] [/spoiler] and then there's this dandy. [spoiler] [HAND=709747] [/spoiler] Ran 3 buyin under expected, overall I've taken 3 shots at 50nl this month and all total I'm running 9.5 buyins under expected.

It's a really good company to work for sick sick benefits, but there looking for someone with more experience. I do however know a couple people that have some pull there so you never know. The HR rep also mentioned they weren't having a lot of luck finding someone with more experience so hopefully I run good one time and get the job because ...

I'm going to start posting my biggest losing hands here for you guys to take a look at starting at my next session. I'm hoping this will help re-focus and stop with the random spew crap. Any moved back down to 25nl for the time being.

My bros wedding last Saturday was a great time, finally got back to the tables and was on pace for an epic +9buyin session when I lost a 6 buyin flip vs some monkey who called top pair trash kicker and held. Still up a little over 3 buyins so I can't complain. Other then that everything else is going good, so far it's been a pretty good month back.

This morning I received a call from some random women telling me I was selected to win a free cruise/airfare/all other expenses except alcohol if I'd just come to there office for an appointment to &q...

Back down to 25nl and the grind session. On the upside I made back everything I lost and then some after I moved back down so. I'll give it another good soon enough, from the life standpoint things are just peachy. My brother's getting married Saturday so I'm keeping busy helping him make sure everything is in order. I ...

Actually focused a bit which is nice. Anyway on to more important stuff aka life. So I posed my resume on career builder and a few other sites, however, no luck so far. I've been offered 5 sales positions, but I'd rather continue with the path I'm taking rather then selling insurance. I'm just not interested in a sales position at the moment. On t...

Were not exactly great golfers, ok he's flat out comical. He lost 14 balls on the first 9 yesterday. Needless to say it's rather entertaining, we ended up spending more on drinks then golf. Were going out again today so this should be fun............yeah I could get used to this unemploye...

I myself was curious and being the luckbox I am I had the awesome opportunity to learn on Monday. The day started off well, went to work did that whole thing and then around 2pm things started going more poorly at a very rapid rate. I get a call from my manager requesting a meeting(*note at this point I know I'm getting shit c... Wed, 20 May 2009 10:51:22 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=738716
