It’s been a crazy day today at the tables. 133 FTP points later, I find myself just under my starting roll - which was $32 two weeks ago. It was up to $80, then down to $60 - then was $53 at the start of today’s session.I started great, mainly 3-4 handed NLH cash, .5/.10, .10/.25 and .25/.50 limits. I went up to about $70, then down to a mere $16 - then back up.
This is not a direct result of poor playing, I kid you not, I don’t think it’s possible for a human to be as unlucky as I have been today. There was a situation were I flopped a full house with 96, board 996 - the money went all in before the turn after I re-raised him. He had KK, turn is a K….it’s just sick. I haven’t won any races today either, it’s pretty crappy. But I can’t moan, in the long run, good play will always prevail and it’s important not to let some sour luck get to you.
However, I did tilt, and I did lose some money with overly aggressive play at .25/.50 - anyways, my rolls on $28 now and I’m contemplating doing one of two things……
Take a few days to regroup my thoughts and come back stronger and win loads of money ..oooor…..stick my whole roll on a heads up game. At this moment in time, I’m favouring the latter….
I’ll let you know how I get on!

The grind continues...
I haven’t posted for a while. Since my last blog I lost my roll and took a bit of a break.
I started up a roll again last Saturday, $32 to be exact. I played great in my first session that night, boosting my roll to $45 on pot limit hold em. Sunday night was a disaster, I played when drunk and lost about $16, I really can’t play when I’m drunk or tired, I need to concentrate on what I’m doing. Since Monday I’ve been working hard on getting it all back. I’m now up, but just about. I started with $32 and I’m now on $33.45 -- jeez, what a rollercoaster.
I just won a $5.25 heads up with someone, that’s been my game of choice lately. On $2 and $5 limits, I am undefeated. 6 in 6. Challenge anyone?? All you need is a full tilt account :-)
I’ve avoided tournaments for the time being, my roll's really not big enough to be spending on tournaments just yet. There’s a good $1 tournament rebuy on full tilt at 6 and 9pm, but haven’t had a chance to enter it yet. I’m really happy with my tournament performance though. It’s probably the strongest part of my game. Every tournament I seem to play in, I either cash or bubble. So….once my roll is of a decent level, I’ll be hitting the tournaments more often.
Other than playing heads up, I’ve been enjoying 3 handed pot limit aswel. With some good ole aggression you can really make some easy money.
Anyways, that’s enough of me rambling…the grind continues.
