Dronkey?

Got a couple of hours in sunday and monday and tilted off $200. Was severely hungover sunday so what better time to 4 table 0.25/0.50 while using gametime+ with pt on a slow computer. Need to get a laptop. Anyway wasn't concentrating at all and dropped about 100 purely through poor play. Have to stop playing when hungover. Dropped another 100 when I bought into a $100 stt because im a dope. Putting one sixth of your online br into a 10 seated stt. Theres br management for you. Sigh. The whole point of this challenge is to have ruled that kind of crap out of my game totally (I know I'm not sufficiently rolled for 0.25/0.50 but I'm not worried about major swings at micro stakes. Maybe I should be). Anyway, playing hungover/drunk and large buy in tournys are taboo from now on. Heading to tripod on thursday so I can test myself on whether I can resist the jackpot afterwards.

Played the e10 rebuy in the jackpot last night for some fun, mainly just to pass the time until the 1/1 game got started and clear my tilt up. Standard was shocking as usual. Stack was nearing an M of 10 so i shipped it in with with kq sooooted after two limpers. Dude calls with A5 or something, K on flop, rivers a straight. Wasn't bothered. Bored dealing and the cash games was starting. Time to pay the bills.

Sat down with 100 and covered everyone immedietly. Table was full of eliminated students and now I just had to sit tight. I couldnt help but laugh at guys buying in for 30e, limping their way down to 20, and shoving with some K10 like hand. Rebuy for 30e, same again. Hit some flops and stole some pots and cashed out at 3 for 500ish.

There were only two players on the table who I could play some poker with for the most part, boardies TheresAlwaysOne and TommyGunne. Hand with Conor aka tommygunne. Can't remember exact details preflop, but I was in in early position with A5soooted. Flop comes down KJ8. I check. Conor bets 3/4 pot - pot. I'm the only caller. Turn is a 9. I check and he fires again. I've a fairly tight image and c/repot it. He thinks for a couple of minutes and I know he's folding his K. He may have been tilting a little and then played his last hand when he flopped top two with AQ and I hit a set of queens. The money was always going in and thats all she wrote.

Was a little annoyed when I checked a river having fired two bullets allowing TheresOnlyOne to rebluff me with 9high on the river. He played it well though. Anyway I'm off to have a sleep in the car now but will get a few hours in later.

only got to play for just under 2 hours today for a profit of 80ish. Had br up to 850 but got stacked twice. Once when I hit bottom set and was beaten by top set, and when i got it all in pf with KK v QQ and he rivered a q. Oh well

Off to play football and then heading out tonight so won't play until tomorrow.

Online br - $717.31

Moving along

4 tabled some 0.10/0.20 yesterday and i don't have the patience for it, I assume because ive been playing 0.25/0.50 for a while online and 1/1 and 1/2 live. Played a few $20 stts and 3 tabled 0.25/0.50 for about 2 hours for profit of around $180, had to take $55 from my gjp account for pokertracker also. Played a home game last night. Standard was the worst I've ever seen, not bothered as it was only for a bit of fun anyway. Didn't go to the jackpot last night as I ended up getting fairly shitfaced. Got no sleep last night so not going to play tonight and get an early night in. Hope to get 3-4 hours in online tomorrow to get closer to reaching the first target of $1000.


Online bankroll at the moment - $640

$500 to $5000

Have decided to finally sort out my non existant br management once and for all. Going to build $500 into $5k. Will 4 table 0.10/0.20 and not move up to 0.25/0.50 until the br reaches 1k. So I have 400 as 20 cash buyins and the remaining 100 for stts and the odd mtt. I want to keep live and online br's separate so the 5k is only for online, and any live tournaments/cash that I play will come out of my pocket. I reckon I should do this fairly easily as I've been beating 0.50/1 online fairly easily but just havn't got the br to handle the variance. Will play 1 or 2 live tournys a week and the jackpot cash is fairly easy money in the pocket.

Played the boards $20 bi weekly mtt on monday and came second. Played solid throughout, getting value from premium hands and stealing alot later on helped by the nit image i created early on. The only hand I was annoyed about was the last hand of the tourny. Wasn't concentrating at all. Raised pf with Kx and didn't hit. Fired on the flop and called. Flop was draw heavy and I shoved the turn to be called by a flopped 2 pair. Looking back it was obvious I was beat as he had'nt flat called one draw since I had been at the table. So out of 4 entries I've finished 2nd, 4th, and two nowheres which I'm not bothered about as both exit hands were coolers.

Football cancelled last night so had planned to play the jackpot e40 freezout GJP sattellite but played the $3000 Gtd on gjp instead. Finished 4th for 280ish. Went out when I'd K7 on a K107 board, got it all in on the turn and he had k10. Was pissed off with myself as i was sure I was beat when he check minraised my flop bet and shoved the turn, but I called anyway. I need to trust my gut feelings more often. Played 3 $50 stt's, won 1, 2nd in another. 2 tabled some 0.50/10 and ended the night up 600. At the moment I've 1100 online (What are you doing playing 0.50/1 I hear you say, see the first paragraph), but am withdrawing 600 to start fresh on the 5k challenge.

Wasn't sure what game to play tonight. It was down to the 20e jackpot donkout, or a 20 runner tenner home game in Maynooth. Decided to play the home game for a bit of craic and also because I felt like getting pissed after. If I feel different I may head into the jackpot after for some 1/2 instead, still undecided.

Will probably only play online for an hour or two after work so updates later.
