May Results & June Goals
Date: Mon, Jun 2, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
May turned out to be a pretty rough month for me. I'm down on both sites, although i still managed to make 500.00 profit on Fulltilt. I kinda lost my focus & desire there for a bit. I was busting everything in very poor fashion. I did go through some personal issues and that was a part of it, but i think the main problem was a two week stretch...

Playing Poorly
Date: Fri, May 30, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
Wow, i'm sucking big time right now. I just continue to donk off my stack in tournaments. Even in the 180s, where a month or so ago i was a lock to final table with less than 45 remaining and a big stack. I'm just finding ways to lose. A major part of the problem is i'm over playing strong but not monster hands in marginal spots, especially JJ....

Just busted out of a perfectly played $3+r with one really bad play. I really feel i played perfectly up to this hand... i was focused, talking to myself, playing aggressively until this hand;

Date: Mon, May 19, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
Writing things down seem to make it more likely that i'll get it done. Just makes it more concrete for me i guess. So i've decided that i'll write down what i plan on studying at the beginning of each week.
After yesterday's tournys i didnt play at all today... just worked out, cleaned up my apartment, watched tv and browsed BBV forum on 2+2...

Sunday Tournaments
Date: Sun, May 18, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
My cousin is in town so we went out last night and I had a pretty good time. But as of right now 8:48am I'm feeling pretty good to play today. I may have some girlfriend (soon to be ex) drama later today, hopefully it doesn't throw me completely off my game.
Anyway I'm feeling pretty optimistic so i figure i will play up to 5% of my Stars...

Improve at Poker
Date: Thu, May 15, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
Just wanted to talk a little about studying poker.
How much time do you average per week actually studying poker? If you're anything like me, an average micro stakes grinder, then the answer is not much.
Yet we still want to win at this game and make lots of money... well thats just not going to happen. Unless we put in the effort required to...

Isgrinder Update, Poker Tracker3 & Belly Off
Date: Mon, May 12, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
I haven't felt as sharp as i did a few weeks ago and my results reflect this, especially on Stars. I won a Sunday Million satellite earlier in the week and did absolutely nothing with it, just blew it. The next time i win a seat i'm playing in the tourny... fuck it!
Things have been going a bit better on fulltilt. I took down a $24+2 90 man KO...

OMG... its HOTTTT!!!!
Date: Sun, May 11, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
Well it seems summer is officially here. All week its been really hot and today is more of the same. Since i'm working nights i have to endure it until i get to work and its really bad in the mid afternoon. I could turn on the Air conditioning, but with fuel prices the way they are i'm trying to avoid that.
I think it may also be affecting my...

Focusing for May
Date: Wed, May 7, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
I've been slightly out of it so far in May. I just wasn't as focused as i couldve been over the past few days. I found myself playing without really thinking about what i was doing. Just opening tournaments because i felt the urge to play even though i knew i was sleepy/tired.
I had a really bad session at 25nl yesterday where i only made 30...

Another So So Sunday
Date: Mon, May 5, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
I partied more than usual this past weekend and as a result i was really out of it on Sunday. I just could not get in the mode to play. I tried to play some 180s but busted everything pretty quickly. After taking a nap i decided to play the 100k at 3:30. I was feeling much better and was able to get ITM, finishing 2182/22182 for $22.00 when my JJ...

April Results
Date: Sat, May 3, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
April was a really good month. I finally won my first MTT for 1500.00 and got deep in several other tournaments with +5k 1st place prizes. I feel that my tournament game has taken a step in the right direction although i still make too many mistakes.
During this month i started playing 25nl fullring and had some pretty good results. Its not a...

Sooo Close!
Date: Thu, May 1, 2008 Internet Live Tournament
I played several tournaments lastnight and got deep in the $25+2.5 25K Guaranteed, I finished 35th of 1452 runners. I was sitting 8th of 38 with thoughts of final tabling and taking this thing down, when i completed A6o in the small blind.
I normally would've raised this hand but there was a utg limper. On the flop villain insta pushed and i...
