keeping it going

Ive been trying to play a lot lately. Gf went home and ive had a lot of time. ive played 44 hrs in the last 8 days. that a butt load for me. SSing cash has been going okay but I made a few mistakes recently. I only have like 8k hands logged but hopefully im just running bad because my results arent good. unfortunately pokerEV tells me im running good. but they way it works it can only analyze allin hands. so like if i didnt get AA for 2ooo hands straight its not going to tell me i am getting unlucky there when really i am.

im really tired due to drinking / going out like everyday this week. thats all for now

too much stuff!

is going on right now. i did not get to play as much as i had planned last week. moving out turned out to be like a 5 day process (and moving in another day). i believe i played less than 2 hrs for those 5 days. boo. however my gf came back which was absolutely amazing. it was really good to see her. as hard as it was to not be with her for 35 days i think that something like that will really strengthen our relationship.

anywho, i want to grind a lot to get supernova x 2 by the end of november. why am i not farther you ask? well i played a few thousand games on FT in the past and also basically didnt play more than 15 hrs a week all summer. also a gf really bogs down my playing time. so that is one of my goals for now. i also have a few shortstacking goals but sadly i wont be sharing those as it goes along with my thought process on how to beat games shortstacking.

and finally here is my last goal: http://curtainspoker.livejournal.com/118615.html

if i can ever have that attitude about poker i will be invincible. my hourly rate would skyrocket as i could play in the highest possible stakes to increase my hourly rate. obviously the swings would be sick and i would have lots of losing days but that wouldn't matter.

i know i am getting closer to that state each day but i want there all the way. playing mtts helps a lot. i always go in with the mindset of i wont cash big. honestly i think its terrible to go in excepting to score huge even though some might say im being pessimistic, but really its just realistic. if i was hoping to score huge everytime i would have runs of 100s where i wouldnt final table and that would just kill me. luckily when you go in just expecting to play well you can almost always be happy. well by you i mean me, because i am awesome at poker.

poker and life update

ive been playing the 45man sngs lately. they are quite the lesson in variance. i started out up about 60 buyins and then came crashing down 91 buyins. ugh. and i felt very confident in my play. i sharkscoped some of the other regs and it seems 60 buyin downswings are fairly common. cool. im giving them a shot for now until the variance kills me. i also want to try shortstacking full ring and six max. i feel id have a pretty big edge there. it would also be pretty fun because right now i hate cash games. they are sooo boring. this way i can play cash games and go all in alot, as well as get berated by the regs.



my gf has been in ecuador for 4 weeks now and i havent seen her in or talked to her 30 days :(
she is flying to new jersey on wednesday for a family thing and then coming home sat. so i can finally talk to her at least on the phone wednesday. so as fun as summer has been its said i havent seen her for 2/5 ths of it. also, fuck ecuador for having horrible phone reception


im gonna try and play a lot this week before she gets back. like over 50 hrs maybe?
