Hi nothing special. won like 2bi today and had some really gutwrenching suckouts ala FTP style lol. here's a couple of my poorly played hands. any advice would be appreciated on how to play certain hands. thanks.

I'm not sure if my overpair here is good because it's a 3 way raised pot anyway I just tilted and shoved it there. Was this by any means good?

Here I was just plain stupid spewing money again. I know everytime that if I dont have the nuts, I shouldnt ever play for stacks if I got my draw. again, was this wrong to shove here?

Hi again. I've finally decided to blog my poker sessions just to see how I faired from a different perspective. I know a lot of below average players like me have a difficult time reading all the $$$$$ the good players make in one session (I know I have) well sometimes is inspires but most of the time it's really just depressing lol. I've started my session 8 tabling at that rigged FTP site and so far things were ok. I implemented the changes needed to see whether being spewy made a difference in terms of winrate. I really wanted a 22 18 type of stat in my tracker but it's really hard at these limits because preflop it's way too cheap to fold and one more card isn't that much of a big deal. Won like 3bi today and i hope i can maintain a higher or just average winrate at a consistent level. Here's one of those bad beats for the day.

So i thought i was beginning to play solid and all and that this was the start of a better poker life for me - not true.
Lost about 2/3 of my bankroll now moving down to 25nl again!
It's really sad and depressing how confused I am and how all the good that happened makes me think that I really got lucky last month and that poker is about luck really. I know for a fact that poker is more of a skill game of course but sometimes the psychology of the whole scene brings my demons of old back to haunt me. A good friend of mine has had good success, albeit he plays NOT on FTP(which is really the wisest choice hes made). I wish him all the luck and I wont stop trying to play online, just sux how im back to 25nl hell again. gtg

lol. actually i'm a little tired of whining. i can even say that i'm playing my best poker ever. the coolers came just when i felt that i was plugging a lot of my leaks so that's mainly the reason why i got so affected by them, anyway the cooler rages i get is prolly one of those leaks i have to work on, well i am currently doing so.
