Now stuck ~5k (euros) for the week (last 2 days) OMG. I played so bad today. It was 30k starting stack so somehow i didnt bust until the end of the day. I basially played everyhand wrong- bad laydowns, terrible calls and kept getting knocked down to 10k, but the structure was awesome so after I managed t ostring 7 folds together I rocked up and played properly for 2 hours. I got upto 45k just before level 8 (250/500/50). Then I donked it with K10 into aces leaving me 12k. or 20bb for 2moro. but not content with that i tried to hero call my last 7k into a full house.
My table was ridicilous. When I sat down I thought oh wtf theres 3 decent players that I recognise and one of the pokernews boggers is chatting to/taking pictures of some other guy. So i thought id been duped a bit on the table draw.
I feel I must point out that I was the only person to fold to a 3bet in 8 hours of play and every raise received 3-5 callers! A lovely table for someone who could hit a flop or trust their reads.
Im so pissed with myself right now. I grinded that stack for 4hours before I got chipped up and I would have been extactic with finishing on 16k after how bad I played today as it would give me 20BB for 3 levels which would be plenty of time to get chipped up. So when im upto 45k after playing so bad id go back 2moro and get my a game on. (always happens after I play terrible in tournys cus I get real desire to crush the game).

I had 3 lots of 5% out which have been paid to me over full tilt. So i got back to the hotel at 6am and load up ft for some comps. (ipoker and stars wont load up here ) I play like a maniac and donk a few $$$ in comps then take them seriously. I go deep in the 24kgtd and the 12.5k 1R1A but get cold decked and a beat. I was smashing the 20R maintainnig a top 20stack from the off to 40th when I busted. I played the turbo hundo and cash losing a pot for chip ft average with 19 left A9 tank shove utg and a call aq knowing im ahead but not wanting to call b/c i feel like I will get a beat. Which isnt a reason for folding but I could becasue when I shove first my chips are only in danger when called. So that was pretty shit as it was 6k for first which would go a long way to to evening out this trip.

THE PLAN. I have approx 36 hours over 3 12hr sessions to make my 5k back. so that 1650 a session which is 140 an hour ish. Its also crazy becasue position is backwards on these cash games as they deal counter-clockwise. Lets hope I crush it 2moro.
Apparently the cash games are the same as the comp. everyone calls prefop (which Im used to) but theres a cap on the table so that fucks up the game if its to fishy.
I think there a 400 and a 200 on saturday so ill see how many runners there are and how my houly rate is on the cash games as to whether I play them.

Ill leave you with one final thought.
BANKROLL MANAGEMENT.
