Day 36

I'm starting to notice a trend... either i'm doing well in cash games or I'm doing well in SNG... but not both at the same time... I end up spending hours breaking even and sometimes down because my winnings on one isn't enough to cover the other. I was wondering wtf was going on and it came down to two things... I was either catching unbelievable swings (which isn't likely) or that I was subconsciously concentrating on one while not the other (which is most likely since I'm doing both at the same time). I would be up huge right now if I didn't piss all my winnings away on covering my losses from the other so I decided to just stick to one at a time. I only got felted once in the 10 hours of play and it was from this hand:

SNGs had me down something huge tonight and I decided to play just cash games... I headed to 6 table NL50 with a current roll of about $460 which is stretching it bankroll management wise but it worked out great. I was also running hot and hitting some great hands and getting action on them. Here are some of the big ones:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2221870 <--- played it sloppy but it worked out

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2221910 <--- not a great play, but marginal. Loosing in the long run but I felt like gambling... if he would have 3bet me on the turn or shoved, I would have folded.


Overall things went well I think I was up a total of $376 in showdown winnings and $260 overall in cash... SNGs gave me a beating and heres where I ended up:








Total for today: +$171.60
Total Bankroll: $691.45
Total remaining: $9408.55

good blocker on the turn, i like the play.

that K high call vs your tptk was fairly epic.

ive noticed that you tend to be very results oriented in your analysis on occasion.

eg: you play a hand perfectly, go broke on a cooler, then berate your play.

alternately, you occasionally overplay tptk and get paid off and feel it constitutes good play.

or maybe not, just a feeling im getting.

being results oriented can be disasterous, is the only reason i mention it, as it can legitimize bad habits because you got paid off by inferior players.

that said, ive seen you tighten up at higher limits and play *very* strong, so im entirely willing to consider that you know how to dominate weaker low limit games and tweak your game accordingly.
