Break ! March results :(

Well, I better stop to play until the end of the month, otherwise I won't have enough money to start to play next one... :(

Here is my best graph ever !!! What a donk, I think I have tilted 1/3 of this amount.














I haven't ever succeded taking a break but this time I really need it and I hope I'll stick to it.
Go to gym, Play PS3, Watch movies and spend more time with my little family : this sould be my schedule for the next 5 days

My BR is still above 12K$ so I'll start april in NL400

Archi Sick month !

Sorry for the lack of updates during the last weeks. I try to keep cool and let this horrible month fly away but that's very hard. I try to keep my "real life" normal so that my results don't impact my family life with my wife and my kid.
I'm at the moment -7.4K$ down after reaching a low -9K$ yesterday. It seems that I can't win a damn coinflip and that all other players draws hit. I would surely accept this bad run more easily if I was up in $ this month... but that's not the case. So, please, Ms. Bad Luck, GIVE ME A BREAK !

I'm watching every night my biggest lost posts, and I don't think I played bad during the past week.

Here are some specimen of Ms Luck :

Ms Luck didn't forget me this time, she gave me a set @ turn... and a straight to my opponent :(

No news, bad news

As you may have noticed I haven't posted since a while. Reason is simple : I have been playing very poorly, tilting and running trough a pretty bad run.
So I am somewhere around -5K$ for this month.

I have taken some obvious decisions to try to recover before end of the month :
- MSN & web browsing forbidden during poker sessions
- Stop following results with Poker Grapher every session, every day. I will try to look at my graph only one time, at the end of the month.

Therefore my blog should change cause I will not show my results anymore as I was used to. As soon as my moral get a bit better I will write down some HHs

But don't worry, I don't feel so depressed. It's just a common rough time of a poker pro and I guess it will not be the last time

I will survive ! ;)

Finally on a winning stretch ?

This month is really swingy and for the 1st time of the month I thought today I was not running bad when I won AK vs QQ :)
I hope I can keep it this way for a few days :)

Oups, I did it again

I played a bunch of hands since last post and I keep loosing for the moment. Unfortunately I tilted few BIs and had also one full BI screwed up with a all-in missclick (and my A5o ran to KK...) so I can't say I'm happy with my game at the moment
I made my worst table ever, loosing 2172$, that's more than 5 BIs !!!! (5 last hands of the HH bellow)

I haven't seen many KK vs AA going in my way this month for the moment

http://weaktight.com/124531
Nicely powned here. I value shove my pair of 6 against his boat...

http://weaktight.com/124532
Thought UTG had a set here, so I thought shoving the flop was EV-
He finally won with K high

http://weaktight.com/124536
Rivered

http://weaktight.com/124539
AA cracked. But could have get away from it I think

http://weaktight.com/124540
KK < AT

http://weaktight.com/124541
I 3bet AJ from the blinds. Once the A hit the flop I don't think I can get away. I tried to represent a bluff at turn to induce bluff from JJ/QQ/KK hands. He had AK and didn't hit my few outs

http://weaktight.com/124542
Bad play at river. I don't know why I made this donky CRAI. Bet/fold would have been better if I wanted to bluff

http://weaktight.com/124543
Another missplayed hand. Once he donked bet river I should only call if I think I'm ahead, he won't call with a worst hand obviously

New month, new swings

Have been going up and down during the first 3 month of the month. Second day was very bad as I played very poorly on a fishy table, bluffing people that you should never try to bluff.
I ran through some cold deck but will not complain about this start knowing the start of january and march.
I hope I can go through a nice rush now :)

February Results - March objectives

February Results

Awfull month with a scary 11K$ downswing (+7K to -4K). I managed to be up during the final 3 days to get a lazy 1K$ month :(
At least I succeeded in playing more than 50K hands...
Good news is that I feel my game has improved a lot during this period (let's take the good side)

March Objectives

I have great expectations for my first entire pro month. I really want to get my best month ever and I'll work a lot for that. I've created with poker fellows a "work group" that should help us to improve our game. Hope the results will show up quickly !

> 50K hands
> 20K$ cash
