ok,
so I achieved my goal in life. actually life was [censored] awesome this month (and I bought a nice kitchen to finish moving into my condo)

poker:
- played 35k hands (like 15k of 2/4, 9k of 3/6 and 11k of 1/2)
- lost lil at 3/6, killed the other games
- read a lil NL (stox book still to be finished and mathematics is waiting for me)
- 4 digit achieved
- tilt only twice this month (only one day with -200BB the other tilt day I finished even due to the fact that I killed 2/4)

FT in Stars million.
Win about 8k on 10/20 because my BR now is 150BB and Im not going down in levels.

Stars million: got my money in preflop QQ v A8 and was out on the bubble.

Tilted a lot. Took a shot at 50/100 that went bad and had 2-3 tilting sessions. Bankroll is at 210 BB and I'm not going down in levels.

So, I'm officially ending my august. Mixed bag of results.

Play good

umm, depends how you think about it. HUHU was horrible for me. I also encountered a strange form of tilt during one 5/10 session. I played against this dude who was incredibly weak-tight; like 30%wtd or something. (does that stat matter HUHU btw? I guess it implies that I was also weak-tight). Anyway he seemed really weak-tight, but I was not able to beat him over a few hundred hands, got a little frustrated. I ended up "tilting" vs him by playing like a complete maniac for the next 100 hands or so, basically never laying off the raise button, and dropping around 100BB over the whole session. I found it strange because I basically didn't care that I was donking off that many BBs. I was really completely aware of my poor play and kind of curious how it would perform vs this particular player. Anyway, I felt like he adjusted well against my spontaneously erractic play.

[/ QUOTE ]
sure, about as well as can be expected

Results of my efforts: (Graphs do not include NL or HUHU play because I consider that just practicing new games)






And....My first 50/100 session, isn't it pretty?

[thepizzlefosho]

- play 15k hands of 5/10 6max played 11K, nope

- play 5k hands of HUHU played 3.8k, nope

- play 5k hands of NL50 (vomit) played 2.5k, nope

- have a winning month at 5/10 (I know this sounds silly to you guys that are crushing out there but I have hit a wall since I moved up and am really working hard to beat 5/10) had a solid winning month at 5/10 6max, so a big YES!

- practice improved game selection definitely was much better than past, but started to slack off in the final third of the month

- don't keep trying to beat a good player HUHU just because they are holding the deck over you and you get pissed off. Get up and try a different table. um I'd like to say I did this, but really only did it about 80% of the time. still sat and got run over by some good lags while running bad. may just need to give up HUHU all together
