Took a shot last weekend at 100...lost terribly..was stupid and didn't drop down when I should've because I kept losing to players that were hitting all their outs. Not going to take a shot again until I think I'll be rolled enough NOT to drop down..Plan on putting an insane amount of volume in this month. Wish me luck

Job offered me alot more hours for the rest of this month, Usually working 15 hours I put 40 hours into poker on the side but this last week and the next 2 weeks I will be working 40. Only been able to get around 25ish hours in poker a week when I have to work this much.

Since last week I'm only up about 3 buyins, played some hands horribly and didn't realise until after the session when I checked the hands. Also got into spots I thought I played wrong but after looking at it, n othing else I could've done. One thing I need to work on is my 3bet calling range in position, I get so baffled in some spots where I think I should be calling but no idea haha. Have a lesson later today, will get it cleared up and see what else is going wrong. Overall really happy with the way I've been playing, I think there was a few laydowns I had that I probably shouldn't have. And rakeback is around $700 so I'm expecting about $1.2k by the end of the month, which is awesome..

So yeah, 50s already going well, made 8 buyins today actually and taking a little break...my rakeback comes in on the 15th + I'll be getting a new status at AP so i can cash out $250 with points for cash. Bankroll will be up around 2k after getting those bonus' if I don't even play until then. One problem I've been having is my river play, on leakbuster I took a quiz on betting the river and, I only got one right, and I just guessed on it haha. I really need to focus on it because I know I am probably losing tons of value there. It's also saying my W$WSF is low =(..Hopefully next session with lost will fix it all up and MAYBE even taking shots at 100 if I can get the roll to 3/3.5k?

I'll keep the graphs coming every week..gl at the tables

So I started my venture into 50..First session was horrible, running into hands i can't do anything about..specifically one that really tilted me, and found it funny at the same time was a kid called my 3bet with 72 off (not at the 72 tables for those of you who know them on AP) and the flop comes 223..I bet he shoves and woopdy doo I see that 72 staring into my Aces eyes..I laughed..then got mad >=(...normally I don't get mad anymore and tilt to easily..but honestly once I moved up and I'm getting it in good then get 2 outted or something is just mentally hurting me pretty bad, when it wasn't before at 25. I think that its just losing more money then I am used to and especially when I'm ahead. I have to learn to get numb again to these losses and just know I played it right and not let the higher money bother me.

All that said...nl50 at AP is softer than 25..This weeks goal = get numb ;P

Thats the graph so far this month at nl25..can't wait to see my name on the UGL on ptr hahaha..my ptr is ugly enough but I'll be happy to see my name on there even though its still very early in the month. That was a goal I wanted a long long time ago and I finally reached it, I can move up now to 50 and hopefully crush it there =) ..its crazy how much better I've gotten in just one month since LOSTNTHESAUS has been coaching me...we've had 3 lessons and EXTREME differences in my play and just crushing thanks to him =P

Down in money, not much..but feeling more confident then ever. Last week I was given 48 hours to work when I normally am only getting 15..so it was a little rough getting hours in but I did as much as I could..Went to foxwoods on sunday night, was up about 300 dollars over 7 hours, and then lost it in 2 hands..and what sucks is I was going to leave as soon as I was about to hit that next blind...first hand I don't think I could've done anything different, 2nd hand I think i was just way too tired and a little tilty and just made poor bet sizing and it fucked me over.

On a good note..

Lostinthesaus messaged me after my last post and we got to talking about coaching...Had 2 lessons with him since then and can't be any happier with him. My 6max game dramatically got better after just first lesson..Hes been making me a program after each one to keep me in check/practice/install deep into my brain everything from it. I've been reading the programs before every session I play and I can't believe how many little things I was doing wrong, even 2 weeks later I still am catching myself about to do things from the first lesson that I wasn't supposed to do.

Before, I had in my head, I've been reading/watching videos..pretty much just everything about poker for over a year, and always thought to myself I should be winning at 25..I'm just getting unlucky..blah blah..Can't make anymore excuses for losing. Since these lessons I KNOW I'm going to be crushing 25 and moving up soon..and even above that. If any of you are debating on getting coached/having trouble with multi-tabling/6max ..hes well worth it even at the lower stakes.

Next weeks graph will be mightyyy pretty =) ..gl at the tables

So first week was very swingy, 2nd week I decided on just 6/9 tabling 6max instead of rush, now..I really just can't say its because of running bad, I probably had it in my head all last week but I should not be having this much trouble at nl10 in my opinion lol/once I withdraw from AP on the 15th I won't have to play 10 but now I'm not even sure if I should because of how I've been playing..I have to have a major leak or something I'm not seeing. If any coaches for 25 or anything see this, I'm interested, and if anyone wants to just sweat me and help me out/or let me watch a session of one of you playing, either one I'd appreciate. Just need to relax off the hours a bit and take some time on making my game better.

Thats the graph for my first 40 hour week. I decided to go to fulltilt and start playing rush, and start at nl10 and work my way up again since, I haven't had a winning month in about 4-5 months..kinda hurting my confidence a bit. I'm at 14/12..ran super hot as you can see in the beginning, then just got trucked all in one session, my aces losing to 88's allin pre and all the good stuff all day...lately its been up and down, all my big hands the turn and river just shit on me, and i had 3 hands 450bbs deep with someone where I literally flop the nuts, and then turn and river are disgusting and I have to fold. I won't lie and say i didn't tilt away any buyins, I tilted off two, pretty much just called fish limp shoving with 89s..the other one was just stupid. None the less, I'm proud I did my 40 hours, I get 7.5 buyins in rakeback this friday so thats nice haha. I still have 200 im waiting for on the 15th for absolute poker...I missed having it every week on ftp.

Quick question about rush, I was looking at where I'm making the most money in positions/how I'm playing them...all of them are positive except the blinds...$243 out of $461 in bb and $177 out of $237 in sb for nl10......Is that normal for people at rush? or am I not defending close to as much as I need to be, I just feel its alot harder defending them especially at nl10 where people call with anything and then im put oop with shit hands.

Today, I am officially starting my 40 hours a week playtime. No excuses for me just going to do it even working 3 full days out of the week I will have to put some extra time in on the weekends or so. Still deciding whether or not I want to bring it over to fulltilt and play rush or stick to AB...hopefully this first month goes well..and rakeback with this much playtime should be a nice present at the end of the month..wishin myself luck
