Blah! Played a quick session of 7 HU matches, went 4 for 7…should have been 6…but hey…what can I do…I’m outta here…
Well, the title says it all…got myself donk-kicked more than usual playing 6max SnGs carving out a nice ROI of exactly -100%. *lol*…not really suprising looking at the gems below, at least I was smart enough to switch games to HU after getting donk-kicked hard within the first few hands. So the results for today are: 6max 0/4…HU 4/5 for a minimal positive finish. Decision making: only had one real mistake, the rest I can live with, nothing more I can do than put the money in with my opponent drawing to 2 or 3 outs…I’m outta here…couch, here I come…

Got around to play a little today, 8 SnGs and one double shootout, a grand total of 297 hands (lol). Was headsup on the first table in the shootout, but just couldn’t overcome the good run of my opponent. He busted all other players before we were headsup and despite being at a major chip deficit I stuck to my plan and got to almost even. Then I couldn’t improve on an TP vs TP situation in which I was outkicked.
The 6 handed SnGs were about breakeven (1W in four tries, net -2.6$), what saved me were the 11$ heads up matches only played 4 won 3 of them including a 4-player-match…so that put me up to 27.95$ up for the session…that doesn’t matter much to me though, what matters is that I played good and made solid decisions, feels good when you call a big river bet with 68o for third pair and you’re right…
Alrighty…I’m dead-ass tired…so I’ll leave you with the usual pic dump and new pt graph…good luck and may the felt be with you…

After today’s reload I tried to get back right into the thick of things, but I couldn’t get much going early on. In the end I was able to recoup a little bit, but I finished the day down nontheless. Not too excited about it, but not much I could have done, I made two clearly bad plays that cost me two matches, but in the other ones…no chance. Anyway, I’m happy with the way I played.
Before I leave you with the usualy pic dump, let me introduce my newest idea: a while back I invested a little money and bought me both TourneyManager and PokerTracker3…around the “christmas break” I thought it was time that I put them to use, especially PT3. So I got myself all the tournament summaries and what-not and started to analyze a little. Now I know which are my most profitable games (in terms of net won) and I think I’ll keep hitting them hard. Now to my idea: with all the lovely analytical functions and stuff of PT3, one thing stands out in terms of blogging (IMHO)…and that is a simple graph displaying a few infos about a usual day at “the office”…so I’ll try to add one of those to my posts in the future…enjoy.
So…I didn’t take me long to reload…PokerStars’ 25% reload bonus (bonus code 2010) was just too appealing. Still on a short bankroll, so I’ll try to play it smart, starting low…running it up, if I can, before jumping into higher limits again…let’s see how it goes…watch this spot…
