It was a terrible night for poker. I played a tournament well above my bankroll and cash well above my br... I played 1/2 6-max limit with leafsfan, we both got pwned pretty hard, I played pretty bad and ran into lots of coolers and no big pots.

I played the $33 MTT on stars today, I love the tournament structure, I'll definitely be looking for this tournament again once my bankroll can sustain a $33 buyin (not after tonight). I busted with top pair and a flush draw, I guess I played the hand badly, whatever.

Got 500ish hands of 6-max NL25, I'll post a couple hands just cause I like it

_______________________-------------------------------------------



For the 550 hands I played today, my stats were 38/22/6 - a bunch of 2-3 handed, so thats why the high VPIP. I think I'm gonna tighten up a little bit for my next session... although we'll see, i played alright tonight, minues some tilty stuff and a couple coolers.

Anyways, the pokerstars BR went from 480 down to 415 today - no more random spending in games I don't have a big edge in - mainly short-handed LHE. Also, full ring sucks the royal ass...

Although... I've been considering focusing my efforts on 9-handed hold'em, mainly b/c it allows me to handle more tables, and it's something I want to get good at. That and the constant aggression of 6-max is fuxing with my tournament play. Too bad 6-max is f*ck fun - I'm sure I'll jump around, as usual... but I want to put in a good 1500 hand session sometime soon. Assuming I don't get so tilty that I can't play. I think I have lots of time tomorrow actuallly.

HUm alright, that's all for now

nice first hand supa =P
