Thanks to everyone for their support and congrats, I really appreciate it! However, I am far from my goal. I want to achieve this win rate for over 100K hands. Actually, I may step up my goal to 6 PTBB/100...

I took Friday and Saturday off. I really wanted to play but I ended up installing new headlights in my car (which took MUCH longer than I had thought and was completely drained afterwards). ZKW + 6000K HID's + Predator Chromium Angel Eyes. That is probably completely greek to everyone but I thought I'd mention it. They cost a bunch, but what good is making a lot of money playing poker if you cant spend some of it on toys

Sunday, I got a few hours of poker in. Again, not nearly as much as I wanted to. I have this problem. When I dont play poker, I really am not that motivated to play, but when I am playing poker I want to keep playing. If I take a day or two off, I have trouble getting going, whereas if I hadnt taken those two days off, I would've played nearly 3000 hands on Sunday with no problems.

Anyways, I played some absolutely pathetic poker on Sunday and followed it up with a very poor outing on Monday. I'm not sure how I made money playing so bad. Luckily it didnt kill the BB/100 too bad. I turned into a calling station which is evident by my extremely high WTSD%. Optimally my WTSD% should be around 17% and a tad higher if I'm on a good run of cards. Well, I was far from a good run of cards last night and my WTSD% was 19%+ which is awful. I 'm going to chalk these mistakes up to not playing for two days and hopefully I have them corrected for todays sessions. Luckily I cleared a $400 multi poker bonus last night (not included in the numbers above) which helped a lot.

I had my worst day of the month on Tuesday and called it a night 3 hours before I had planned. All-in 4 times as a big favorite and sucked out on each time. Then I lost AAA44 to 4444 for $300. After that, I tilted away $100 and called it quits. What a dreadful day. Nothing went right and everything went wrong. I guess these days are expected once in awhile. It really killed the BB/100

On to Wednesday, I started out awful again. My first hand, I flop a set over Queens; only to be sucked out on for a straight which cost me my stack. After 150 hands I found myself down $350 and I had this sinking, 'Uh oh, not again' feeling. All of my indicators seemed good though, so at this point I am hoping this is just a bad string of luck. Luckily, I was able to turn things around and bounce back rather nicely. I found myself up $1200 in the first 2.5 hours. Unfortunately, one mistake and a few suckouts later I was back down to $850. I came back later at night, got up to $1250, then back down to $850 (after yet again more suckouts) and then backup to $1157 where I called it a night.

I have been experiencing a lot more suckouts this week in comparison to last week. I'm not sure if it is just bad luck, things evening out, or me making mistakes. I'm hoping its the first and I'm only on a bad streak. All of my indicators appear pretty good. My WTSD% is still high which has me a bit concerned. I'm not sure why its so high, I do not feel like I have been calling people down. On Tuesday, maybe (after getting a little tilty); however, on Wednesday I did not. Hopefully everything settles down back into my A game.

Do You play on party?

I know of three guys ( including me ) who just had the most awfull bad beat run this week overthere.
A friend of mine who is a winning player at the 200 NL just lost 6K!!!! on the wierdest of suck outs in one week.
