Day 4

Yesterday was the best poker day I have had in a looong time. I just couldn't lose (ok, maybe a few games haha). I played a few games in between classes to get up about $200 in an hour and a half, and then came home and played for a little while after class. Everything went near perfect, including a 7 game win streak (almost 8 but I misclicked and committed myself to a bad pot to be in). The only possible blemish on the day was a little three buy-in downswing somewhere in the middle.

I ended up joining a $100 along with my usual $50 to see which started up first after the mini-downswing. The $100 started right up and it was Ross Boatman who is a pro on Full Tilt. Anyway, he didn't even realize it was an Omaha H/L game and I took him down pretty easily haha. But, even with losing that $100, today would still have been a great day, and I'm not so worried about tilting too much in these Omaha games since they start so much slower than their Hold'em counterparts. This gives me some time to think about the last game instead of hopping into a new one right away and pissing away some or all of my chips. So far, I'm still all about these games and have no intentions of returning to Hold'em any time soon. Let's hope I can keep this up.

Daily profit: $587.50
Total profit: $897.50

Day 3

My Omaha H/L PL experiment continues, and it's still working out for now. Didn't play a whole lot yesterday but had a decent profit. I lost the very first game of the day with KKxx vs 1010xx on a x10K10x board. I thought I was playing H/L to avoid situations like that haha. I don't know if I'm going to play a whole lot today as I have two classes. I have a three hour break in between though so I might try to squeeze in a few games on campus. So far so good though and I'm happy about that.

Daily profit: $197.50
Total profit: $310

Day 2

Yesterday was very interesting. I started off as badly as I did the day before dropping about four games pretty quickly. I tilted a bit towards the end but it's hard to run so bad two days in a row in these things. I worked my way back up to down $100 and out of boredom played an Omaha H/L PL $50 game. These are way more interesting and fun to me than Hold'em and I did pretty damn well at them last night. The players for the most part were awful and I only ran into one player who put up a real fight. Finished the day with a 6 game win streak in these so I might concentrate on them for the next few days and see how it goes. On a side note it seems to me that I'll be posting every morning after playing the day before. This seems to be easier and it gives me time to think about the previous day without involving any emotion.

Daily profit: $310
Total profit: $112.50

Day 1

What a frustrating start. Lost a bunch of 70/30s to leave my bankroll at $802.50 by the end of last night. I didn't play a whole lot so that makes it that much more frustrating. I'll have some time to play today before school starts on monday so hopefully it will go better than yesterday did.

Daily profit: -197.50
Total profit: -197.50

A New Era

I am a good poker player. I have won games at the highest of stakes and have cashed out a decent amount. I am a terrible bankroll manager. At this point, I find myself with exactly $1k in my Full Tilt account and I am going to attempt to turn this into a substantial roll within the next few months. I'm going to start with $55 turbo HU SNGs and stay at that level for a good while. I'll be posting updates in this blog every day that I play with daily profits (or losses) and any interesting side notes. Here's to new beginnings!
