When the tables get u down....

this picture has absolutely nothing to do with the blog entry

Just google LOLCAT for motivation.....Ok thats as close as i could come to making this picture relate to the topic. On a side not im at school typing this up on IE so if the spelling is worse than usual.....oopsy daisy!

This weekend was meh for me. It started out ok with me plus a few buy ins, but the next day was pure torture. It was def not my day. I followed my rules and quit the first session after 3buy ins and 45 minutes, then did some bs came back fresh and ready to get those buy ins back.....another 45 minutes, another -3 buy ins. YIKES!!! However, it was the weekend, the games were good, and i just didnt really feel very tilted. I took a small break and came back for round 3....sadly it was more of the same and at EOD i was down close to 10 buy ins.

These things happen, graphs are never straight up and mine is no exception. Tbh im probably falling back into my calling to light on the river habit, but it just gets to a point where i refuse to believe that they have it yet again. I played today and was very happy with my play. On sunday i played to try and put in some volume since 10 buy ins is a bit to overcome and won about 6, then i second session jinxed my ass and dropped one. Meh well though. Today was nice and i got another 2.5 back, so were on the road to recovery but its just very very frustrating when every new session it feels like ur playing from behind.

Another thing affecting my mindset is i get the oppurtunity to "stake" well buy parts of a stake on 2 players who i am very confident are +ev spots. One is on fire right now in mtts and sngs and i bought about 25% of him in a nice wcoop schedule combined with a 2k sng sample to reduce variance. Another is the top 30cap player on the internet and he sold me about 25% of him on his 60cap shot. So i have about 1500 or so out in stakes and that makes my br look smaller. Combine that with my 10buy in downer, and overspending irl and its time to buckle down.

April is coming to an end and my volume is surprisingly high. I feel like im slacking but im right on pace for about 60k hands, i mean i may fall a bit short but i feel like ive been slacking. So far im at about 1.65BB/100, which is a bit below where i aim for. Ideally id like to be at about 2.5-3.0BB/100, i havent run below ev but i think im running bad situationally, coolers and such and then my calling off leak.

I have just completed one class already (were doing presentations and i was first to go, so now i just have to show up), another class was a independent study, so its done too, and then i have biology test today and i think one more before the semester is out but overall not to much work to do. So hopefully i will be able to dediacte a lot of time to poker in may, until my move. If i could make supernova by wsop trip time that would be nice. Nothing like a lil 4k bonus and 1k bonus to gain some confidence.

Well gl at the tables
