Gettin a little better.

Played some nice steady poker for 2 sessions. One was a "losing" one but except for one hand my control really limited the losses (Less than 1 buy in over 3 tables) so not bad...definite improvement.

The second session was today and the opposite. Except for 2 hands near the end (Fuck I suck the last 5 minutes of a session...and I mean AFTER I decide that I am leaving after this rotation) giving some money back. But did grow the roll a little, and am back over 500 at Hollywood.

Also played a live SitnGo last night with fish, and although it was low stakes and only one other pseudo player at the table, it was a nice practice to try and control the game...and so I won.

All in all nice...just wish I had more time to play.

Humilty before Bankrupsty, that is what I always say.

So went away for a week for work to Dallas, and while I was there I was thinking about this poker thing of mine. What exactly am I trying to do. I mean I know since I went to Cuba I have not played a lot, but and I am ok with playing less. What has bugged me is letting peer pressure and ego let me play a game that has NEVER been profitable for me. I am specifically speaking to the short handed games. I just do not have that game yet. My game is more trap and wait.... I think I play big hands well in big handed games. That is what made all my bank roll. So I really had to sit back and say what am I doing here.....is it time to cash out what I have left (about 1000 over both Full tilt and HP, maybe a little less) and buy something, or go back to what made me money....

...Well as I hate to admit defeat I am going back to where the money was. I have demoted myself to 25 cent 10 person tables....(will go to 50 cent later) and see what happens. Tonight was the first night in a long time and I was able to make almost $100 dollars doing it, and that was while losing 1 buy in at one table. So that was nice.

Also played a 96 person person $5 dollar tourny and that was nice...finished 5th. Big part of the game there was being patient.

So all in all not that bad. Looking forward to some more results. Not sure how often I am going to be able to play, but I do want to play smart.

Gotta either manage the bank roll, or just take it out. Lets see what happens!
