Week 11

Bankroll is down to $9,110.

Monday morning I didn't get in a session, I was woken up pretty early to catch a spider so I felt too tired to play. I finally got around to watching Greg's "Wellness" video on LeggoPoker and he recommended going to this to test your reaction times and see how alert you are. I got "Bobbing bobcat" most of the time but managed to hit "Rocketing rabbit" once, that suggested I probably didn't get enough sleep last night. It was a very good video and hopefully I'll be able to improve at least 1 or 2 areas of my life.

I brought Lauren into town and when I got back lost 3 buy-ins at $600nl and half a buy-in at $400nl. I had a fish river my flopped sets twice in the space of about 10 hands which was very frustrating. I decided to quit after that, after seeing my reaction times I hadn't planned on playing at all, probably should have gone with my first instinct. Ah well, my first -2k day, woohoo. I cashed out $1100 as well which now means I'm just slightly underrolled for $600nl but I'm not down that much on my shot.

Tuesday morning went really badly, kept getting sucked out on, fish rivering flushs on me, etc., etc. Meh, I guess I was due a bad run , happy now cooker? Dropped 3 buy-ins at $600nl and 1 at $400nl. Not going to play anymore $600nl for a while at least. I managed to clear my $100 reload bonus as well.

Wednesday I decided to take the day off and have a break from poker. I also bought some whey protein which Greg recommended.

Thursday I dropped a little over half a buy-in at $400nl and broke even at $200nl. I had gotten a $200 reload bonus but I only have a week to clear it and I need twice as many points as I've gotten any other week so it's pretty unlikely that I'll get it cleared in time. Didn't get in a second session.

I didn't play at all on Friday, just laziness basically, or maybe I wasn't in the mood. I watched a couple of videos though.

Saturday it was my birthday so I took the day off. I did watch a couple of videos though.

Sunday morning I won a little under a buy-in at $200nl and broke even at $400nl. I felt I was playing well, making some well time bluffs, taking tonnes of notes on the fish which I used to exploit them later. In the evening I lost 2 and a half buy-ins at $400nl, I think I played too long, I got a bit tilty with one fish who disconnect protected on me and then ran like the sun. I obviously e-mailed Party about it and they didn't ban his disconnect protect which pissed me off even more. I 3bet shoved over his c/r in a 3bet pot and ran into his set, decided that was a good time to quit.

I also cashed out $4500, that should hopefully cover the rest of the holiday. Which means I'm underrolled for $400nl now, no harm in moving down for a while anyway.
