Do you ask for the cards to be washed when you lose in a live game?
Maybe ask for a new dealer at a casino?

I have a newfound appreciate for those suffering from a losing streak. Hang in there!

Graph it baby!
Current mood: hot

My 100 hour bid for November starts tommorow afternoon. I'm excited and a little scared. I wouldn't mind just some normal sessions instead of the big up and down shit that's been happening lately. Not good for my heart.

Here's a graph for all my 2/4 games from Sep.20th till the end of October. It should start on $0 but for some reason it starts at my first session that I won $2000 on. Anyway, as I'm sure you can tell, I had a very big upswing in the begining. I was making like $300 an hour the first two weeks. So much for that!

*MISSION 100 HOURS* it starts well!!
Current mood: accomplished

Played a little under 6 hours today. Brought in a nice chunk of change over $800.

Here are some mistakes I made:
forum/viewtopic.php?t=8198

For some reason bayoupoker keeps wanting to give me monster over monster. It's distressing to flop the second nut flush only to see the BB have the nuts.

On a good note, I put a guy all-in on the turn today with an underpair. I don't know why, but I just felt I was winning. He called off the rest of his stack (not much) with AK and didn't improve. He then said, "cocky mother fucker" and left. That made me really happy

Pokerstats for 2/4:
Sessions: 26
Win Rate: $102.83/hr
Time played: 76h 21m

At the end of this year I'm gonna stop posting my stats again. I get uncomfortable posting these kind of numbers. I figure I can't let you guys miss *MISSION 100 HOURS* though!

*MISSION 100 HOURS* Winning streak stays alive
Current mood: awake

According to my software:
I am on a 6 session winning streak for a total of $3400.40 over 5 days.

I like the sound of that. I hope this win streak stays alive for another week or two. That would make a pretty easy month for me.

So far this week I've played 14 hours and a few minutes. I'm one hour behind my goal but that shoudn't be a problem. I'll put in extra minutes on my good sessions.

Here's a hand that worked for me because of a great image and some balls of steel: forum/viewtopic.php?t=8279

I was really happy with my play in the last session as I started down $400. KK vs AA really is not my idea of a good time.

My stats for 2/4 (on the upswing!!)
Sessions: 29
Win Rate: $116.26/hr
Time played: 84h 37m


I hope this good luck continues for a long while.

*********************************

I have 4 pages done in my book. I've done a page on bankroll management (they'll be plenty more), and 3 pages on keys to winning very low limit holdem. I plan on showing different stratagies for different limits, along w/ normal TAG strategy for all limits. This book is going to be awesome. Frankly, I'm scared to have it published. If I do sell it, it's gonna be hella expensive.

*MISSION 100 HOURS* POKER WARS V
Current mood: drained







********************************************

I think that pretty much says it all. I lost $1750 today, pretty much all on bad beats and bad luck. I tilted away $400 and I would be ashamed, except I clicked off the autopost button but it decided to put me anyway.

Try these 3 wonderful hands:
A9 vs 92. FLOP 992
KK vs A7 FLOP JT7. TURN 7
TT vs KQ FLOP KQT


I'm emotionally drained at the moment. I can't see straight nor can I think straight. I'm gonna head the bed early tonight. Days like today just suck the life out of you. The real tough part for me is I couldn't play my evening session tonight. So now I'm down 3 hours of my goal for 25, and I know I'm not putting in a full 8 hours tommorow. I'll have to make extra hours next week I guess.

On a better note, My hourly rate for the week is still $65 an hour. I can't really complain about that, even though I want it to be at $100. I know in the long run it will be.
