So I spent the day playing Tournaments and I still feel the switch is on... I feel really bad, sick, disgusted, mad, angry and I'm not enjoying playing the game when I feel (and probably am) in disadvantage in relation with the rest...

Here are the results:

So after posting the 1st half of november results, I went on my trip to continue the good run... BOOM, doomswitch's on.

I've lost $500 (10BI's) at NL50 in 5k hands... Losing with AK against AA in AKx flops, hitting a set and overpair winning the race with an overset on the river, etc etc... standard for a guy on a downswing I know ;(

I can't win at cash games no matter what I do... I reach the breakeven line and immediatly after that I lose a buyin and have to start over again...

Because of this, I went to play tournaments the whole day and took track of them in a notepad. Here are the results:

1--$5.50 Rebuy @ Stars = $37.77
Entry: $5.50
Rebuy: $5.00
Addon: $5.00
Total: $15.50
2--$5.50 6max @ Stars = $0
3**$16.50 5:30 @ Titan = $0
4--$11 6pm @ Stars = $19.03
5--$11 1R/1A @ Stars = $0
Entry: $11
Rebuy: $10
Addon: $10
Total: $31
6--$3.30 Rebuy @ Stars = $0
Entry $3.30
Rebuy $9.00
Addon $3.00
Total: $15.30
7--$27.50 7pm @ Stars = $0
8--$5.50 8pm @ Stars = $0
9--$9.90 @ Stars = $38.88
10--$11 11min lvls @ Stars = $0
11--$16.50 @ Stars = $0
12--$3.30 3shot @ Stars = $0

Money invested at:
Stars: $168.50
Titan: $16.50
Total: $185
Profits: $95.68
Money lost: $89.32

I'm gonna have another tournament day tomorrow If I can and give it a 2nd shot and hopefully get lucky in some of them. Today was a bad day.

EDIT: oh yeah, I bought PokerAce Hud and I just cant get it to work... It doesn't locate me on my preferred seat (even when I have picked them at the PAHUD preferred seating options)... When it locates me, it doesn't refresh the stats and some other random stuff... NICE

I bought in for the Sunday Million via FPP store and did quite well. Busted out in 672nd place for $398.22 . I was having an awesome tournament until my AA ran into the monster A8o of villain... I went card dead after that but still hit the 2nd money bubble...

Highlights of the first half of November
(Cash games, tournaments, VIP status and FPP store)

November started really good at the cash games. At one point I was up to $500 at NL50 then PS saw I was winning too much and put the doomswitch on me in both cash games and tournaments. I lost around 8BI and $200 in tournaments. It didn't last too much and I catched another heater to end the first half of november with nice results.

In the tournament area, I finished in 83rd at the Sunday $100k for $210 which helped me to breakeven with my past tourney loses. And just yesterday, I managed to finish in 3rd at a $5 freezeout for $500 .

Because of all of this, so far this month I'm up around $1200 .

And in just half a month, I managed to hit the 10K VPPs and become a Platinum Star =)

I also ordered a 34K FPPs 16GB Ipod Touch that I had to send to my family in the U.S. (electronics cannot be send to Mexico) and hopefully, I'll get in Christmas when they come here.

Now the pics:

So I went to the grocery store today to buy some stuff. Went to the back of the line to pay them and a police officer was in front of me. It was his turn to pay his chewing gum, couple of sodas and more trash food. He had to pay $42.30 mexican pesos ($1 USD equals around $11mex pesos).

The lady asked him if he wanted to donate the cents to this national donating program (This money is to support schools, poor families, etc, by donating the cents, for example, if your bill is $40.80, they'll ask you to donate 20 cents). He said "Yeah" and the lady replied "The 70 cents?" (which are $0.06 USD) and he went like "omg, nevermind, that's too much, I would donate 0.20pesos though but I can't now" while looking at me with a very tilting smile, like if he wanted to me say "you're right buddy, 0.06USD are a lot".

What tilted me the most is the way he looked at me, like trying to get some back up for his cheapness... fucking mexicans tilt me so bad T_T

(I paid with credit card, so there were no cents to donate)

In the last 3 days I've made around $750 in tournaments and cash games.

-On wednesday, I reached a Final table at Titan in a $15+$1.50 freezeout and finished in 3rd for $297 .
-And yesterday I reached two. One FT was in a $10+$1 freezeout at titan where I ended in 4th for $178 . And at Pokerstars I got $200 for finishing in 7th in a $5.50 tourney.

Today I got very tired from school and didn't feel like sitting there 5hours to play a tourney, so I went to play a short cash session. I've finally understand a little bit more about Pokertracker thx to my friend Artanis. So here are the pics:




Aleksei explained to me about the PT stats: 17/8/.8 etc etc a long time ago but I couldn't use PT back then so I forgot about them. Would anyone of you please give me a quick explanation about those stats? VPP, preflop raise etc? Thanks.

So my BR now is about to hit the $3K mark and I still play NL25 because I don't feel comfortable playing in higher stakes yet due to most of my BR was built by MTTs winnings, which is what I do best and play more.

So I arrived 2 weeks ago to Dallas, Tx. to visit my sister and meet my 9month nephew. The city is cool but it's boring as hell to be in the car when you want to go to some place because of the size of the city.

I spend most of the morning and afternoon at home, because my sister and her husband works at that time and my mom and I don't want to go out too much, just around the area, We don't feel like taking a cab and go to the downtown on our own, etc...

I've been playing here quite a lot because of the "freetime" I have during the day. Things didn't go so well and went in a 10buying downswing at NL25 in the last days... I was feeling really shitty, but I FT'ed a $20+2 freezeout that helped with the swing. Ended in 7th place.



On another note, I reached Goldstar status this month at Pokerstars, although I'm n gonna be able to play the Weekly and Monthly VIP Freerolls because I'll be visiting Houston and prob San Antonio for the weekend.

With a $1100 BR at Titan, I withdrew a few bux from my account to deposit them on PStars to play the Sunday Hundred Grand and with $7.53 left, joined a $5.+.50 tourney in which I happened to finish in 3rd for $423.73 .



Went out when I was a HUGE favorite preflop:
