I figured that I would start keeping a journal here, and see what happens with it. I'm starting at the bottom of the barrel and plan to work my way up if that's still possible. Anyway, I've been playing for about 1.5 months now on fulltilt. I started seriously playing this month. My winrate is not what I would like it to be, but it's still +...so that is good.

The point of the journal is to keep track of my play and get help/ask questions to improve my game. I do have rakeback, and in the early stages of building my bankroll, I think that it will be a huge portion of the money coming in to help build my roll up. The goal is to put in around 1,000 hands per day for now and see what happens from there.

Currently my winrate is around 6PTBB/100, and I always at least 4-table...much of the time i am 6 tabling. I only started using PT since the beginning of June.

Wish me luck.

Good Luck man.

Here is my graph so far for june...only 9,000 hands so far. I missed quite a few days. I plan to make up for those hands in the second half of the month

Apparently, the totem pole would like me to stay at the bottom. I had an absolutely horrendous day today...dropping nearly 4 buyins at 25NL. Wow, what a joke.

Every single AA/KK I had got busted by a set. Every set/boat I had got busted by a higher one. Ahigh flushes to straight flushes. It was all literally that ridiculous.

I did make one mistake where I had QQ with a flush draw on a low board. I believe it was 7-2-9. I was fairly certain my opponent had AA, but I pushed my chips in anyway. Not a horrible play, but that's the worst play I made all day IMO. I should have listened to myself and stopped about a hour before I did. I was hoping I could grind out of the rut, but I just continued to get pummeled into the ground.

The very last hand I lost today was AA vs AA all in preflop. That's what made me insta-close FTP for the day. Enough was enough.

Days like this are EXTREMELY discouraging for me and this is hard for me to get over. The last 4-5 days of playing and doing well is destroyed, my winrate is crap...I don't know. It just affects me mentally, even though I know that I should be beating this game, and in time I will earn the money back. My BR is down to around $800 instead of around $900, where I was itching to close in on $1,000. But alas, that is a long journey away for me once again. It seems like it never fails for me to get smashed on the head as soon as I begin to feel good about how I've been playing. I still dont' feel like I played terribly today. In fact, I feel that my opponents played absolutely miserably, but the miracles were hitting.

UGLY GRAPH

full tilt is rigged.

BTP Journals are rigged. Just ask Alex, MVP, Xaston, Sham, 12er...

i hate it when they do that "site is rigged" routine...
