More of the same old suck outs

Bankroll $101.

I had my bankroll up to $121 but I dropped another $21 tonight. I played 4 $2.25. I missed in everyone. I can't seem to win a race no matter what side I am on. Unfortunately winning those races is huge for your ROI. I hope I start running well soon. Oh an by running well I mean winning 50% of my races, no wait just win 30% of those and I would be killing this freaking game. May is just around the corner so I hope to have a better month.

I have also dropped $20 over 2k hands playing 10NL. I am really beginning to think I am bad at this game. I am starting to think I should move up where they respect my raises but that is just stupid, I want more fish to play with. I am just running bad in these hands too. MY AA and KK hands are getting cracked, I a missing my big draws and hands I dominate are hitting on me.

I just need the variance monster to go away or have Full Tilt turn off the doom switch off. My conspiracy theorist in me is thinking with the legislation going into effect soon they are just serving me up these beats so I go broke then they don't have to pay me and I wont be able to deposit.

Anyways, maybe I should take the next few days off and just relax and start back up in May.

10 days of break even poker sucks the big one.

Same Same Same

Current Bankroll $98.50.

I lost a about $25 this weekend playing 10NL. Thanks for the suck outs Full Tilt. I did recover some of the winnings playin 6 sngs last night. I am still down in the $5.50s but only a few buyins now.

I played 2 $1.10 45 man sngs and scooped a win out of won for a net of $15.00. I plan to just play SNGS until this weekend then see what will happend hopefully I will take off. I am currently one week behind schedule.

Current Bankroll $101.

Played 8 last night with 2 min cashes. I took 2 terrible beats on the bubble.

Interestingly enough I have 9 bubble finishes in 25 games. Of those I have been 70/30 favorite 3 times, 30/70 dog once and flipped 5 times. I am not running particularly good. Overall I am down $7.00 over the 25 sngs. I hope something changes soon. I plan to play at least 25 this weekend.

I did win $9.00 in the 10NL game so thats at least positive.

5 days into this and I am break even so far.

Moved back to Full Tilt

So, I pulled my roll of of Poker Stars and moved back to Full Tilt. I did this for two reasons. First I get rake back at Full Tilt and right now that is more than the FFPs at Poker Stars. Secondly I am not thrilled with the new buy in amounts at Poker Stars.

So my challenge is to deposit $100 on FT and when I get 20 buy ins for the next level I will take the shot. My current bankroll is sitting a $2k so I don't really see this as a problem, I just want to get back into SNGs and Tourneys.

$500 (HEEB)
Stake $100.
Rules :

5% for STT I feel I have a good edge in these.
2% for MTTs ( <= 45 man)
1% for MTTs (> 45 man)

Start Date: April 18th
End Date: May 18th.

Cash out $200 when I get to $500 evanluate where to go from here.

17 $5.50 9-man $20

Current Bankroll $120

End of the month....Thank Goodness

Is there any goodness left? After the month I have had I am beginning to doubt it. This month I played close to 15k hands and lost about $15. Good news is I played about 30 $5.50 sngs and won $100 so this month I increased my roll by $100. I don't know if I am running bad or just bad at cash games.

This months plan is to play 40 sngs a week and about 2k-3k hands cash but I am going to drop down and play 10NL and work on my game. I want to also start playing 6 handed So I might try and play about 2k hands of this during the month. When I win 10 buyins in the 10NL game I will move back up to 25NL. I also plan on using the same rules for 6 handed when I win 10 buyins there I will move up to 25NL 6 handed. My SNG play should allow me to have a winning month an try and make $100-$200 for this month.

Wish me luck.
