Nothing seems to be going right
...in poker anyways.
I have watched my bankroll just fall and fall over most of the last couple months. I'm sure much of it is due to bad play but sometimes it doesn't seem to matter how good I get my money in. I haven't really wanted to post about bad sessions or unlucky ones, but maybe I should start posting when I play badly. Maybe that will help encourage me to play better.
It seems sometimes that wanting to win is a sure way to lose. We all want to win, but sometimes I only want to win and not want to play well or want to learn. Playing well and learning should be more important. If I play well and learn how to play better winning will be there.
I have been enjoying playing the BBTwo. I did manage a 7th place, but otherwise I have been mid pack every other time. I can't really afford to play the Mondays at the Hoy, but I still have twice. I enjoyed the 6-man version, but couldn't really get things going.
I need to play some disciplined bankroll building poker. Building my bankroll was high on my list of poker goals for some time. I have really let that slip away. I have been enjoying playing tournaments and even though opr shows me profiting over the last 120 days, most of that was nearly 120 days ago.
I did finally manage to double cash in one of Full Tilt's Daily Double tournaments. I didn't finish very deep in either one though. So I did manage a $38 payout for the double cash plus $19 and $29 for the cashes.
Quick goals:

Quick goals:
- Post more often to my blog. I think it will help me think about poker in a better mindset.
- Only play BBTwo and bankroll building poker. That will be $10 SNGs and $10nl for me.
