I got in a quick session of 6 handed NL. Played 530 hands of break even poker. Break even poker, that's so funny. Session started off real bad having TT cracked by 33 down $8. I fought my way back, even up about $4 when I get it all in preflop against a short stack who was just shoving all in preflop. I had AK he had AT I flop a K he goes runner runner for the straight. Down $4 bucks. I fight back get to even then have KK vs JJ get cracked on a turned Jack. I don't even know how this guy played this hand.
I am in the BB with KK, he raises UTG with JJ one caller. I reraised the pot he smooth calls, other guy folds, flop comes AQ4 rainbow. I bet out the flop figure he comes over me if he has the Ace, he smooth calls turn J I bet out 1/4 the pot, I just want to get a feel for what he does, he jams it, I know I am beat, I fold he shows JJ. I was so pissed but I guess I could have lost more or even less if I had checked the flop and turn.
I fight back and get to even then just quit. I am unsure about 6 handed, I think there is definitely some potential to make some good money, I just need to avoid those suck outs, I should have been up $25 on the night.
6 handed 10NL 797 hands -$16.20
FR 10NL 6376 hands + $15.81
Total cash game hands 16616 + $62.18 at least I am a winner at the 5NL tables LOL.
I will be back next week I plan on playing 50 to 75 sngs per week before I play cash games.

Cash, Cash Cash
I have played about 1k hands of Full Ring. I am up $40 in those hands but only up $20 over 6k hands at 10NL.
I fired up some 6 handed 10NL, boy this is very very aggressive. I have about 250 hands and down $17, due to several well timed 3 card suck outs and a rivered flush which we got it all in on the turn.
Bankroll $750. I will try the 6 handed again as I think I can exploit some of the aggressive behaviors there. I doubt I will play tonight I am off for a backpacking trip this weekend and need to get the rest of my gear packed.

End of the Month
Last night was my first losing night all month. I played 10 sngs and only cashed in one, although it was a first. I really thought I was going to get skunked. I had AA cracked by 44 all in preflop, I flopped top set twice but the guy flopped the nut straight both times. I flopped top two against a flop straight, lost every race. I had 5 4th place finishes, this really hurt, two 5th and two 6ths. Pretty standard stuff, well not really lots of coolers in one night.
My current bankroll is at $740ish. I have not put in near the volume I wanted to. I only played just over 100 sngs for the month. The good news is I am still crushing them even with last nights losses. I am running 30% ROI this month was over 40% before last night.
I am getting a little board with SNGS so I am planing on playing some 10NL both FR and 6 handed max over the next month as well as some $11 sngs.
This month was crazy busy in terms of work, family, mini vacation, back packing trip and the honey dos; I just fenced my back yard, it was brutal, but it looks good.
I hope to blog more next month I will try and put together a schedule for my sessions, but I think it will go something like 3 days SNGs 1 day FR and 1 day 6 handed, and the other 2 optional for what ever I want to do.
So my goal is around 100 sngs and 3k-5k hands 10NL FR and 6H for the month of June.

Week 2 and running hot
I have not put in the volume I would have liked, I have played 67 SNGs this month. I should be at 100 by now but this month is extremely busy for me. I have hit a mile stone today. My bankroll on FT has reached $707 today. I now feel comfortably rolled for the $11 sngs. I will most likely play a few in the next two weeks while still playing at my current level to get acclimated to the next step.
I am running pretty good right now. Stats through 67 sngs:
ITM 50.75%
ROI 37.99%
Avg finish 4.
Total winnings $140.00
I am working on some leaks which I need to plug before I move up. One leak has to do with Heads-Up play. I am being to aggressive with weak Aces, Kings, and face cards when I have a deep stack and even in chips with my opponent. I am pushing all in preflop and the only hands that can call are ones that dominate me. I need to slow this down a bit and look for better spots to push.
I plan on working on that for the next two weeks and see if my heads up average comes up.
Stay tuned for updates.

Just another update
Got into 11 sngs tonight. Cashed in 4, two 1sts, one 2nd (should have been first) and a 3rd (should have been higher too). Plus $7 overall. I will take it.
Ironically I had QQ 5 times tonight and lost everyone of them...LOL.
Overall a strange night, if I can keep making a profit while running this bad, I cant wait until I get hot.
I think I am going to drop down to the $2.25 sngs and try out 6 handed. I here these are pretty soft so I want to give them a try and feel them out. That is the plan for tomorrow, try and get 8 or so in maybe more.

Bad Weekend
It was a bad weekend, had too much honey do's to do and a family emergency illness that is still not resolved. I only played 15 sngs total for the weekend. Way to small a volume. It seems everytime I try and get serious about putting in some volume life reaches up and says no.
I did however make around $30 so thats good. I hope to get in about 15 tonight to make up for it.
Last night I only played 6 because the first two I had AQ vs 22 and flopped two pair and 22 hit the set, I also had AQ vs J5 hit two pair and he river flushed me. So I figured it was going to be a bad night, I was wrong. I cash the last 4, 1st, 2nd and two 3rds.
Tonight I hope to get in 16 more. I should still be able to hit 80 sngs this week.

May 1st
So this is my month. I plan to move up and start to make some serious money. Well not that serious but somewhere between $400 and $800 and continue that trend for awhile. So I fired up 8 $5.50 sngs just to test the waters. Well the I took 4 three card outers in the first 4 sngs. Not good. I then lost one race I was short pushed 33 vs K5 he hit a boat.
So there I am sitting zero for six and 3 left to play, yeah I started up another one after the first suck out. Well I ended up 1st, 1st and 2nd for a plus $9.00. Wow what a turn around. The sick part is if I hadn't took those suck outs it would have been a better night. I got a later start due to being on call and getting called so I hope to play about 20 tomorrow and again on sunday to to 50 sngs in this weekend. That should be a good start to the months goal of 300+.
