Week 24



Bankroll is up to $3,163.

Monday I spent the day putting the finishing touches on the Leggo video and recorded it that evening. While I was waiting for it to render I put in some more work on my 1000th boards.ie post, it's now 12 pages long in word. I really wish I wasn't so much of a perfectionist about everything, I spent two full days working on the video when I already had a lot of the content written out and months working on the 1000th post on and off.

Tuesday I watched a video.

Wednesday I didn't get anything done.

Thursday I went playing soccer in the evening.

Friday I watched a video.

Saturday I got in a good session. I finished off the 1000th post and posted it up, link here.

Sunday I watched a video and got in a decent session.

I didn't feel like I was playing well this week, too tired I suppose. At least I got a lot of work done on other projects, it's been a fairly productive week overall.

Week 23

Didn't get any poker in but cashed out $500 so bankroll is down to $3,128.

Monday I watched a video.

Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't get much done.

Thursday I watched a video and went playing soccer in the evening.

Friday I went to a months mind for my friend and then out for the night after that.

Saturday I was at a Christening and then out again.

Sunday I was working on a video for the LeggoPoker competition. It's taking a long time to put together, it didn't help that I had to teach myself how to use PowerPoint either. If I can get all the content done tonight I should be able to record and submit it tomorrow, I should really stop procrastinating so much.

Week 22



Bankroll is up to $3,628.

Monday I watched a video.

Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't get anything done.

Thursday I watched a video, it was one with Tommy Angelo as a special guest. Joe Tall was talking about how he used to play loads of 15 - 30 minute sessions in a day which allowed him to mentally reset and play his A game all the time. He was playing stud though so he didn't have to wait for blinds to come around so I'm going to try playing one hour sessions and see how that goes.

Friday I got in a session in the afternoon. I aimed for an hour but in the end I played an extra 10 minutes because a mega fish was tilting and randomly shoving 100bbs preflop. I watched a video and got in another one hour session. I seem to get in the same amount of hands that I usually do.

Saturday I played two one hour sessions. I went to my parents house to go out that night, myself and my younger brother got into a fight with some guy after he insulted Jennifer. We confronted him and his friend, he threw a punch, which gave me a pretty bad cut on my nose, but I got him back. The gardai (police for non Irish readers) showed up and broke it up and they called an ambulance for him. I didn't see him get taken away so I assume they were just cleaning him up a bit, his face was covered in blood. Two of my knuckles are a little tender and I've got a cut on my nose but we won the fight and that's the important thing.

I didn't get any sessions in Sunday as I didn't get home until late and I was too tired to play.

Week 21



Monday I got in a session in the afternoon.

Tuesday I started coming down with a cold and was feeling tired and groggy all day.

Wednesday and Thursday I was very busy in college so no time to get anything done.

I watched Pok3rplaya's sample video for PokerSwat on Friday. I really hope the site goes well for them, there's clearly been a lot of effort put in. Aaron sent out a "Happy Halloween" update to keep us informed about upcoming plans, I even got a shout out in it :).

Saturday I put in a session in the afternoon, I started taking notes on Chapter 2 of the audio series but it's pretty long.

Sunday I watched a video and got in a session. I watched another video later and got some more work done on Chapter 2.
