SLOW AND STEADY

Gradually increasing the bankroll,slowly but surely.Results for last 3 days
Friday WINS = 7 loses = 2
Saturday WINS = 6 loses = 7
Sunday WINS = 6 loses = 3
Today WINS = 15 loses =8 all today,s games were two tabling.

So today marks the eleventh day i have been playing ,hu sng,s exclusively.Am feeling pretty good about my game ,i still got a lot of leaks to work on but at the level am playing at the moment $2 turbo,s i sure do feel confident.Even when i have a bad day i still seem to break even or lose a very small amount.Not sure when am going to move up, but i will have at least 20 buy ins for the $5 turbo,s as a minimum.I have no intentions of playing under-rolled
What am really chuffed about today is the way all the pokersites have got fundraisers for haiti ,in particular POKERSTARS who are doubling all donations made,considering how negative alot of people view poker and the gambling industry,this sure puts a positive light on it.Can,t wait to see how much is raised.

QUICK UPDATE

Tuesday,s games WINS= 13 loses=15 blaaaaaaaah played poorly and over aggressively
Wednesday more of the same really WINS= 12 loses=11

Thursday decided to really cut back on the aggression,and basicly try to win more small pots on the flop and just raise my top 15% of hands,and avoid difficult spots with marginal hands.So far so good.Also i have cut back on the number of games am playing,and concentrateing on quality over quantity.

Thursday,s games WINS= 5 loses= 1
Todays, games WINS= 4 loses= 0

Current bankroll £36.61 $59.07 finally playing a game i have the correct bankroll for ,long may it continue.

Why do bad players feel it is necessary to berate and swear ,
quote from "WIEBEP" DIE OF CANCER .This is the one thing i don,t like about poker a lack of sportsmanship,if you get beat grow up and deal with it,you can,t win every game.
On a side note this blog has at least one viewer, JP hats of to yah.If anyone wants to leave a comment feel free .
Couple of questions to my readers
1 how many games did you play at each level of sng,s
2 what bankroll management do you use ?

BRUTAL DAY

Yesterday was pretty tough ,started of going 0-5 played badly in two matches, lost two after getting it all in as massive favorite and one was a toss up.Now normally this would tilt me and i would UP stakes to try and recoup my losses, proud to say i kept a cool head and stuck with the $2,s.Finished that session 3-7.Took a break ,won the next 4 matches bringing me even minus rake.
I played a total of 43 matches over the course of the day , WINS= 22 loses= 21
pretty disapointed in my overall play ,also played 2 tables at once for about 20 games (definetly a bad idea )going to stick with 1 tabling for the time being.Am pleased i came out on top in the end (down when you include rake paid) and managed to keep the (FXXXING TILT MONSTER IN HIS CAGE).So even thou i lost money on the day it feels like a victory.
Current bankroll £16.87 loss= £2.00

Bankroll doubled

First session completed,started out at the hu $2.10 turbo,s not great bankroll management but i knew providing i ran average i could get things moving.
Played 10 games
WINS = 8 loses = 2
I did get very lucky in one game all in on flop with top pair decent kicker against villians two pair,obviously i lucksacked on the turn to make a higher two pair .One of the games i lost i played to passively ,but otherwise played well ,i don,t think am a great heads up player yet, but the guys am playing sure as hell are trying there best to let me win, long may it continue.
Not sure how many $2 games am going to play before moving up to the $5,s or how much money i need behind me,but am looking forward to completing my first 100 games.

Current bankroll £11.17 $ 18.15
