thanks, ill take a look at them during my session reviews to take some notes, yeah i could have just got lucky but my play felt good and i was confident and thats the kind of performance i have been looking for, in middle of a set of sng's now, doing about break even i think, took one down for 1st and lost a couple so will see after the session is over


played 12 sng's last night, started off really well and then it went a bit downhill but i was pleased with my perfoemance and managed to break even, i only managed to get ITM 4/12 but i got 2 1st and 2 2nd, i got knocked out 3 times in 4th place, 1 of which i was in 2nd place and me and the chipleader both had a full house, except he checked his through from flop i caught mine on river to give me 5's full of jacks and he had jacks full of 3's. I got knocked out in 5th 3 times, still i wouldn't say these were mistakes after reviewing them, just unlucky. I also got 1 6th and 1 7th.

My ROI has now come down to 15.74% and ITM 49.04 but i am a lot more confident in my play now.

1st 23
2nd 22
3rd 32
Average finish 3.92

One thing i have noticed is that reviewing my stats fr the different blind levels i am only in the red on 15/30 and 200/400.

Bankroll is now $75.71


just had the worst session ever, played 10, although 2 were 27 seaters, only got itm in 1, and finished 3rd in that, none of the hands held up, AK lost, QQ lost, KK lost, AA lost, everythin failed, to top that off computer crashed 4 times and had to be restarted twice, always when i was chipleader, came back as shortstack, thats me done for the day

BR $65.51

-$10.20


hey gaz, keep ur chin up, dowsnswings and bouts of variance are inevitable, just make sure u keep playin well, take a break when poker gets to you so that ur downswings aren't worse than they have to be. Hope ur luck turns around soon

cheers guys, i've gotta take a week off poker now because i have to study for 2 driving lessons next week, so doubt ill be on poker until after next friday, apart from the $5.50 tonight on stars, gonna go in that as a treat before my week off.

Once thats all done ill come back to poker freshminded and see what happens
