Only played for an hour or so tonight. 2 x $3/$6 that went fairly well. Am feeling very loose so am calling it a night before i donk off a stack or 2. Anyways, i'm in the middle of a book that's fairly good. Broken Skin by Stuart Macbride. Someone has just been killed by being buggered by something 5" wide and 14" long!!!! Ouch. Would make your eyes water a bit!

Day 47
WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT
Apparantly this is 100% genuine! I nearly nmessed my pants just looking at the pic!
Decent night on the $3/$6 tables this evening. A few people have asked me about what bankroll management system i've been using. Well it aint anything special, just the standard thinking really. Only play cash & STT's with max 5% of yr bankroll and only play MTT's with a buyin of no more than 2% of your BR. Of course the odd higher buyin is acceptable depending on mood and who is sitting there. I tend to hunt people that i know are fish and if there is more than 1 sat in a higher limit i may have a nosey. Generally though i stick well within the rules and often play at slightly lower limits as profits often come easier without much risk.
What has probably helped me more is this blog. I find that when i'm publishing my results it's easier to stay professional and stick to my limits. If people are reading this then i don't want to be donking off loads of cash. Makes me look like a twot lol. I feel i just have a more professional overall approach to the game now. Before i could easily take a BR from $100 - 400 - 1000 - 3000 - 1500 - 0 in as many days. Sometimes i would cash out some profit, other times i would lose the lot. I wont ever go back to that craziness.
Another way i help myself is by keeping accurate records. Number of hands, time played, profit per session, profit per level, BB/hr/level etc etc etc. Proper records are invaluable and can improve your game and identify weaknesses. It will also tell you where you are making your most profit (and biggest losses.)
I have around 26000 hands logged since i started this blog but will need another 200k before i get a true reading. Thats approx 40k hands per level.
Emptied my account at Mansion poker today. I just can't seem to cash in the 100k no matter how hard i try. It's still probably the best daily tourny on the net at the moment. $100k gtd for $100 entry. Averages around 450-550 entrants per day so a massive overlay. Maybe i'll sling another grand in there for another 10 buyins. Maybe i wont. We'll see.
You'll be pleased to know that the sunburn isn't hurting as much now but i still can't go out in public just yet for fear of beeing pointed and stared at. Maybe tomorrow :)

Day 46
Spent all day on a friends speedboat today zipping around Ibiza. Sunburnt isn't a word that's strong enough! This all happened yesterday and i'm currently sat with lips that feel like twigs, shoulders that feel like i've been flogged, and a perfect line around my face where my shades were that makes me look like Robbin FFS! I really do look like a complete tool. Why do i insist in wearing sunglesses and no sunscrean? Had a few too many beers as well and was not in any state to play cards upon my return. Did that stop me though? Did it bollox!
It only took me about 20 minutes to lose a considerable amount. At this point i saw sense and stopped. Too tired, too drunk. Most of the money i donked off in 1 hand http://pokerfriends.myfastforum.org/about1600.html

Day 45
Spent the last couple of days pouring over 25000 hands since i started this blog. Wanted to work out BB/Hr rate at various levels to see where i'm at. Variance explains a fair bit but i'm substaining over 3 x bb/hr at $2/$4 over 13000 hands. Somehow got a slightly negative figure for $4/$8 but my $3/$6 is 9.41bb/Hr over 4000 hands. My $5/$10 is 10.75 bb/hr over 1815 hands & my $10/20 figures are 17.2 bb(big bets)/Hr over only 300 hands.
1 x BB (big bet) = 2 x big blinds in NLHE ie BB in $1/$2 = $4
This is quite encouraging but i know i'll have to log thousands more hands to get a true reading.
Anybody any thoughts about how many hands need to be logged at each level before i get a true average for my game? 10,000/25,000/50,000/100,000? I have no idea tbh but someone has mentioned the figure 40,000. What do you think?
What i think is that i need to lighten this blog up! Even i'm pig sick of staring at numbers!
Played mainly $3/$6 tonight and took a big hit ($500) early on in the space of 2 hands. I was way ahead in both of them too. Nearly packed in for the night but felt calm enough to carry on for a while. Made it back + more so am glad i stayed :-)

Day 43
I've spent 5 hours so far today collating previous hands. I can't get them into pokertracker so i'm having to put each session into a spreadsheet. I want to investigate my bb/hr figures and see where i'm making my best money. Have about 350 sessions to wade through though. Got about 100 done so far. Also wanted my bb/100 hands figure but that would mean counting all my hands seperately and logging them in the relevant level. 43 days = 25,000 hands! I got the 1st 2300 done in about 3 hours but gave up when i realized it would take me about 35 hours to do them all. Will stick with the bb/hr figure. This alone will take me another 6-8 hrs :-(
Couldn't take anymore figures.....should have gone to bed really as not in the mood to play and it showed. Lost a buyin at 2/4 and more or less broke even on other tables. Didn't stay for long as i knew not in the right frame of mind.
Transferred $200 to Mansion today. Their $100k Gtd has been temporarily replaced by a $100 entry.... 8 WSOP seats gtd tourny. Only attracting less than 500 players so a very good layover. Spent $30 trying to satellite in this afternoon and failed so paid the full $100 to enter. Came nowhere. Waste of money. Only got $70 left there now so will have to succeed in a sat for the next 1 or throw a few dollars more in. Am so desperate to play the WSOP this year!!!!

Day 42
Must not tilt!ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! For Fooooks Sake!!!!
What is it with the crazy suckouts. Do pokersites pay people just to make stupid bets?
Playing the WSOP qualifier tonight at Pacific. 1 hour in. Not going that well but had 1400 chips and blinds only 25/50. I'm sat in the BB with AA. Phew.... a much needed hand :-) 4 callers to me and i over-raise it slightly to $400. Button calls.... he has 1200 chips.
Flop = T74 Button bets 300, i call.
Turn = 9 Button allin for remaining 500, i call
River = 9 .... Button flips A9!!!!
I'm now left with 215 chips and get dealt Dirty Jacks the very next hand in the SB. Folded to me and i push the rest in. BB calls with 9T. F=78Q T=2 R=6 to make his straight.!!
What a waste of time and money.
Should i go have a look in cash? Fook it..... It's Friday night and the fish should be swimming!
And the fish were swimming like gudduns :D. Nice tidy profit..... and that's before the proper pissheeds arrive. Want to protect tonights profit so gonna cool down with a couple of cheap mtt's. May have a look back in cash later when the proper pissheeds arrive. Depends how i feel.
