Week 10

Bankroll is up to $19,939.

Monday I took the family to Dingle. We went to the aquarium out there. We were planning on seeing Fungi the dolphin as well but the weather was pretty bad and we probably wouldn't have had time anyway. Had a nice dinner in Tralee afterwards.

I would have some photos but I bought a camera up there and all the photos came out black so that was a bit of a waste. I had brought a camera with me but I couldn't turn the flash off so I couldn't use it inside the aquarium. There should be some photos on that but the film isn't finished yet. I think I'm just going to buy a digital camera and be done with it.

Tuesday I made a little under 3 buy-ins at $400nl. Won another 1 and a half buy-ins in the evening.

Wednesday I won 3 buy-ins in the morning. Very busy in the afternoon so no time for a second session.

Thursday morning there was very little action going, I got onto a $200nl table and lost a buy-in. I was playing very spewy and overaggro, even more so then usual!!! I was annoyed with my play, although it probably wasn't terrible, but the money felt pretty meaningless, I guess that's a good thing when playing poker.

I managed to get some $400nl tables running, still playing a little too aggro and not running great, value betting into better hands and stuff. Started playing a bit better, getting away with more stuff and finished up just under a buy-in at $400nl. Had to go shopping and do my monthly review so no second session.

Friday I made a little over 2 and a half buy-ins before the tables started to go dead. Decided that was a good time for a break.

I came back and started playing again but the tables went fairly quiet after a while. My bankroll was over $19K at this stage so I decided I'd see if there were any good $600nl tables going. There weren't a lot so I added some 200nl tables as well. In the end I made a little under a buy-in at $200nl, another buy-in and a half at $400nl and broke even at $600nl. I got my holiday flights booked as well, we're going to Fuerteventura on the 16th for 2 weeks. Going to need to cash out some more money for holiday stuff soon.

I got a $100 reload bonus Saturday morning, shouldn't take me too long to clear. I won a little over a buy-in at $600nl but lost over 2 and a half at $400nl. Finally managed to get myself back into the gym as well.

When I got back I lost my $600nl winnings and made back about half a buy-in at $400nl.

Sunday morning I made about half a buy-in at $400nl and broke even at $600nl. In the evening I made just under a buy-in at $400nl.
