Movin' on ... down?
Uptown, Mar 24 2009
Yupyup, my heater move'up'aments has been nicely balanced by megacooler movedownaments in march.
Combined -26bi's at nl100 (14bis) and nl50 (12bis) starting february 27th (and Just overall swingy, shitty play about 5 days preceding that too), and I'm joining the gang again at nl25 wheeee.
Still way overrolled for nl50 but I don't care. I have zero confidence in my play and I need to somehow find it. If I can't find it at nl100 or nl50, then maybe by chance I can find it at nl25. FFS what do I have to lose. (other than vpps lol)
Here come the graphs and stats!

Stats

Position Stats

*Thoughts*
* Fold to cbet is too low?
* Even looser from BU / CO if I can (depends on villains in blinds)
Also I should ask, "what should I be doing to figure out what I'm doing wrong?" What stats shoudl I look at and fix? What kinds of hands of my own should I be looking over, etcetcetc.
There's an expression that goes something like "A drowning man grasps at even a strand of straw to save him." That's kinda how I feel (ie I will try anything and everything to survive).

[NL100] A video
Uptown, Mar 03 2009
1 hr video of NL100 6max.
w/ commentary FWIW.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=81JSVG20
Primary purpose is to have you guys bash my play so I can improve.
Secondary purpose is for the microstakes guys to maybe learn a thing or two.
Hopefully it's worth your time :O
video fail
Uptown, Mar 02 2009
lol I recorded a 1 hr video playing and commentating 4 tables NL100, but I have hotkeys on F9, F10, F11 from tableninja that were overwritten by camstudio, so when I pressed F9 it stopped recording without me noticing lol!
Maybe it was for the best though since I lost like 2bi's during the recording hahaha. It was something like 350 hands of slowly losing monies + a cooler against a fish.
It's actually pretty fun for me so if pple like it I can see myself making more than one .
February Results / March Goals.
Uptown, Mar 01 2009
My Goals and Results for February were as follows:
February Goals
* Goldstar
* NL50 shots
* 100K hands
* 180 hours
February Results
* Platinum Star
* NL 100 reg(?)
* ~80K hands
* 121 hours
Didn't make my hand goal because of moving up, which is totally fine obviously. Hours however, was a bit disappointing as my daily routine fell apart pretty badly 
So all in all I exceeded all expectations in February.
However, the state of my game is a total mess. I'm completely confused why I'm making moves, what I'm supposed to do in spots, when I'm supposed to do certain shit, etc. In short, I'm completely demoralized and as my previous blog decleared, 'lost'. Just continuously downswinging looking for answers and failing to find them, and continuing to play like a complete moron, calling down light, bluffing light and just overall failing at life.
I am pretty devastated atm in terms of confidence and morale, and will be playing 4 tables exclusively in the coming week at the very least. Did a sweat session with Mikeymoo today which was pretty fun for me. Going to try to record a video tomorrow @ NL100 4 tabling (okay, max 6), we'll see how that goes. Hopefully the guys above NL100 reading my blog can watch a lil' and leave me some comments; meanwhile, it can probably still help the microstakes guys... at least I hope so T_T.
Graphs
FEB - NL100

FEB - all lines

FEB - TOTAL

In the grand scheme of things, I've lost something along the lines of 7-10 BI's over the last 2-3 days (although it sure feels A LOT worse because of how swingy it's been) so I really can't even call this a downswing for crying out loud. Hoping to just regain confidence and just figure out what the hell I'm doing on the tables, that's really my only goal .
I'm going to be out of town a lot during March, so I expect my hands / hours / progress to greatly decline . I'll do what I can do though. Keeping that in mind, here are my goals:
March Goals
* 40,000 hands
* Stay at NL100
* Gain confidence in my game
Very arbitrary goals I guess. I really have no expectations results wise for March. I just want to figure out what the fuck is wrong with my game and my psyche .
