Blah

Well, that was a discouraging night. I started pretty well, I think in the end my tiredness came into play, and I started bleeding chips. I'm too tired to talk much, so here are the stats, I played on Full Tilt.

Statistics for 1206 Hands
Street Saw Saw/Total
Flop 334 28%
Turn 175 15%
River 118 10%
Showdown 77 6%
Street Won Won/Saw Won/Total
Pre-flop 32 3% 3%
Flop 53 16% 4%
Turn 28 16% 2%
River 23 19% 2%
Showdown 35 45% 3%

Here are the stats for how much $$ is in my account:

Started as $502 or so
Ended at: $427

Like I said it was discouraging, there was a series of hands that I had the best hand and the person had 2 outs every time with 2 cards to go, and hit every single time. If I had even won one of those hands (there were about 5 times that happened within like 20 hands of eachother), I would have broke even (they were HUGE (haha like $60) pots for my limit), but, I guess I just need to be thankful that I didn't lose TOO much, this is for sure recoverable, despite my current discouragement. I was able to outplay quite a few people, and even pissed a guy off cuz I outplayed him. ha. Maybe I AM just a donk like he says. My results tonight certainly point that direction. Laters,

A change in approach

Well, I'm almost 100% that nobody checks this even semi-regularly, due in part to my lack of poasting and due in part for lack of interest by anyone.

Anyways, I've been pretty busy on missions and haven't really been able to play poker lately, sadly. However, our schedule is slowly becoming less hecktic (did I spell that right? haha), and I've been able to play a bit online lately. There are a few changes in my approach, however.

I've switched from playing sit and go tournaments to playing cash games. I think this was the natural choice for me, the cash games allow me to quit when I need to, and you're able to be more consistant. Also, most of the professional poker players out there are cash game players. I think that at least online, I'll keep playing cash games.

Lately I've been trying new poker websites quite a bit. Its a bit expensive to put money in all the different accounts, but once the original money is put in, I think I won't have a problem at least letting the poker pay for itself.

I played a little tonight at the $0.25/$0.50 No Limit (NL), both at Absolute Poker and at Full Tilt. At this stage in my career, 4 tables at once is about what I can handle, though hopefully I'll eventually expand that number...

So, here are the stats for my 3 hour session, as well as I can tell (I'll keep better records in the future):

Money in account at start:
Absolute Poker: $60
Full Tilt: $470

Money in account at end:
Absolute Poker: $108.08
Full Tilt: $501.95

I was involved in at least one interesting hand tonight, and though I didn't win the hand, I'm pretty confidant that I played it right... the guy actually ended up posting the hand on a website forum to see which one of us was right, I'm interested to see what the rest of the poker community thinks. Here's the url:

I'm the villain haha

It might be a little too 'poker-lingo'ish for you, in which case, sorry... heh.

I gotta get going, take it easy...
