Blog Subject:  good day!

Played Friday night and did poorly at 4.40 180 man sng's. Probably 6 or 7 busts in a row and not paying attention enough to have a real shot. So, what does anyone do when they're on a bad streak and underrolled? CASH GAMES!!!

Ok bad idea, but .25/.50 is pretty much a joke so not too too worried about busting more than a buyin or 2.
Hit up two tables and started running well. Went up 100 or so and then cooled down via 3-bet experimentation with AK a couple times. Ended up breaking even for the night.

St. Patrick's day I didn't play but I'm sure the games were quite "loose."

I mostly stick to small stakes NL cash games and SnG's, and have never really had a bankroll over 1k (usually just cash out a few hundred every now and again). I am focusing on letting my bankroll grow and eventually moving up in stakes.

On March 2nd, I deposited $125 on Pokerstars with plans to grind $5 SnG's (9 handed) and $4, 180 man MTT's. I generally play 3 or 4 tables at a time.

Today, I was 5 tabling for a while and realized how much less I could keep track of the games. Was running on 2 hours of sleep or so and making poor decisions. Long story short, I burnt roughtly $100 which should really never happen at this level.
After...
