Week 12

Bankroll is down to $7,042

Monday morning I lost a little under a buy-in and a half. Lost another 4 buy-ins when I got back. I played way too long, pretty much on tilt because I couldn't get anything going, meh pretty stupid really. I found myself getting really annoyed with the donks when they sucked out and wanting to bust them (well, more than I usually do). Really unhealthy attiude. I'm on a 15 buy-in downswing now, wow they really flew by .

Tuesday I took a break. I've gotten onto aejones about his audio files a couple of times but he was in Vegas, then Michigan and now he's in Hawaii so it's proving pretty difficult to get hold of him. BobboFitos has updated his ebook and he'll be releasing the updated version on the 25th as well as setting up a private forum on LeggoPoker for discussion, which I'm looking forward to. I logged onto AIM a few times last week to try and contact him about coaching but he never seems to be on there. I got onto SlowHabit about coaching as well, paid $1275 for a 5 hour package. Details here. I think it's extremely important that I continue to improve, the games aren't going to get any easier and if I want to make some really good money I'm going to have to invest. I like learning poker theory anyway, I don't know how to describe it, it's just interesting I guess. I also don't like knowing that there's loads of important poker theory but not knowing what it is.

Wednesday I was really busy all day dealing with holiday stuff so no time for a session.

Thursday I played a very small session. I was trying to do a video for my first coaching session but my trial had run out on Camtasia so I tried reinstalling it which worked before but that didn't work. I uninstalled it and downloaded it again but that didn't work, then I tried uninstalling it and removing the registry keys but that didn't work either. I eventually gave up and downloaded CamStudio instead, it took me a while to set it up and get it working. I went through 12 test runs trying to get it to capture in the right place and get the audio working. When I did get it working I tried to get 4 tables running but even though I was on the waiting list for 15 tables at one stage I could only get two tables going at once, and they were pretty meh anyway. I had to go into town to do more holiday shopping so I couldn't wait much longer and gave up.

Friday I managed to record a video but there were loads of jumps in the video and the audio which made it pretty much unwatchable, I'm going to have to try again when I get back, or pay up for Camtasia. I made a buy-in and a half, which was nice. I'm going on holiday tomorrow so that's why I'm posting this week early as I'm not sure how much internet access I'll have over there. I also downloaded a few videos from DeucesCracked which I hadn't gotten around to watching yet. I got a digital camera for my birthday so hopefully I'll have a few pictures when I get back.
