A few more days in March
I'm running a little better the last couple days. Not brave enough to play anything above $11 though...not sure why. Still down about $100 for March...determined to finish in the black. Have not had a losing month since Sep. 08. Also, closing in on Gold Status...strange because I have played more games in March than any other month ever, but it doesnt really seem like it. I need to evaluate what I'm doing here. I'm thinking seriously about abandoning HU for a while at least. Will think about this for a few days. Gonna play an ass of 9 mans in the next few days to try to put March in the + column.

Feeling very down on poker
Not because I've lost a bunch...I haven't. But thats only because its pretty hard to lose a bunch on $11 hu matches which is mostly what I've been playing lately.
It's because of how bad I'm running lately. I know I'm not playing perfect...I know that there are plenty of aspects to my game that need to be improved....I also know that variance is part of the game and without it the bad players wouldnt be here... But nonetheless, It's depressing. Just to make myself feel better, I'm gonna post a few ridiculous hands from tonight...mainly because I know if I play another match, it'll just happen again. My opponents tonight have been extraordinarily poor players...many with fishbowls on sharkscope...and I've been pwned anyway.
Before I post the HH's, this vid sums up how I feel right now. (You may have to cut and paste it, but its worth it, I promise!

Maybe I played this wrong. I can see how you might say that calling the turn bet was bad because of the straight, and the river bet was bad because of the 3rd heart. Believe me...I see that, but the reality is, he had neither. I mean...I flopped top pair and I 3bet him. Then I turn aces up, and he check raises me with bottom pair...My read was spot on. Then he hits the miracle 2 outer on the river...wtf???!!!???
Ok...this next one was another donk chasing and hitting gin on the river which incidentally gave me a set of Kings.

Had to post this HH
Been dealing with many instances of hands like this. Maybe its a product of the $11 level?? Anyway, if any good players read this, give me some advice, or whatever, if there is any to be had. I'm running into these types of things alot.
This guy was very aggro. He called oop with any two. I re-popped him pre here, and he called with 23....then this.

Almost even for March..
Met a guy to play 4 mans with...we played 14 on Saturday and went 9-5. We lost the last 2 or it would've been even better. This month has sucked! But, only $41 away from even. Grinding big time, so there is not many interesting things to talk about.
Just playing $11's till I'm blue in the face.

Grinding back to even for March
After the debacle I had with the $55's, been working on getting even all month. Slowly but surely getting there. Won my last 8 games straight, so only down $94 on scope for March. Determined not to have a losing month, so going to grind out the $11's to get there.

Back on Track.
Been playing very well the last few days. I've won 17 of my last 19 games, just grinding low to low-mid games. Won 10 HU games in a row at one point. Hopefully will be able to dig out of this hole I dug for myself in March. Havn't had a losing month in a long time, and only one in the past year. Comforting to know I can always go back and pwn the $11 HU...def small potatoes, but a level to build off of.

Going the wrong way...
Played a bunch of $20 Double-or-Nothing (DON) tournaments since last
post. Fist 40 or 50 games were rough as I had to throttle the motor waaaaay
down and it took awhile for it to sink in that hands like JJ and QQ can
be folded preflop....and often need to be. Have had AA cracked by KK with all the money in pre, 3 separate times too. Many, many bad beats and too much aggression, and your down about $200. Today, played 33 more and went 18-15. Getting the hang of it. It's so different....You must play super tight, and use position late to steal chips if necessary.

$55's
Played a grip of $55's the other day. Played like a donk, ran bad, and got tilted. No bueno! Lost like $400 or so. Have recouped a little since then, but frankly been a little shell shocked. I guess there is a significant jump in the quality of the opponents at this level. I'm gonna go back to game selecting $20-$55 and grinding $20/$22's by sitting first, and rebuild a little bit before I'm gonna try the $55 again.

March 1
Just finished a session. Did well....made $56. Played some 9 mans for a little variety, but not planning on doing it full time. I know that if I wanted to maximize my profit right now, I would 4 table $15/$25 9 mans. But, I want to keep on with the HU, because I had a solid Feb playing almost exclusively HU, and I'm feeling so comfortable playing the $22-$50 range.
March Profit $56.
March Profit $56.
Feb is done
Closed the month out with a whimper. Didnt play much the last few days. When
I did play, I won a little bit every time. Just noticed that the thresholds for Silver, Gold, and Platinum all look to be lower now. Gold is only 3000 and Platinum 7500. I've been coming in between the Silver and Gold most months, (did make Gold once) and not caring much about it....but at 3000 Gold should be very attainable.
