The Rebirth Project.

Hi Rtwice,
Welcome back and It sounds like you have found a great place to start playing. shame that the variants are high with the $1.65 re buy for the ticket. I play this once in a while and get so close but bubble.
Good luck and I look forward to hearing how you get on
regards

Thanks mate

Today I'm off at work, so I can look after myself and relax a little bit. I'm gonna go to the gym, do buy some food, read something. I'd love to hang out around London today, but the weather doesn't seem too good, and it's quite freezing outside. And also, I haven't got much money to spend ♦ (it will be payday tomorrow though).

Today there will be a $3.30+R satellite tournament, which brings to the $700 PCA satellite qualifier, 3 packages guaranteed! Fingers crossed.
I'll also play some S&G.

I played a lot of S&G yesterday, mostly single table $1.50 buy in, 6 people. Always finished 1st or 2nd. I also played a 180 people S&G, buy in $2.50, finishing the tournament 9th.

All the money I won has been lost at the PCA satellites though. I tried the $3.30 buy in one (rebuying once) and the $11 buy in one. The first one was going very well: I've been playing for almost 2 hours and I've always been in the first 10 positions. But then, I ended up losing it all just a few minutes before the rebuy period would have ended and the 30k chips add-on was going to be available.

Tonight I'll play a few more $1.50 s&g.

Haven't played much poker in the last few days. Work is keeping me very busy, making me tired and not able to focus enough to play poker by the time I get home.

I'm playing $1.50 6-max S&G only, keeping record of all of them on a nice and easy phone app I found on the playstore. The records show a total profit of $8.37, but I started using the app only two days ago. The real profit should be around $25 or so.

I also downloaded Hold'em Manager 2, which has 30 days of free trial. I just need to set it up.

Tomorrow I'll finally have a very much needed day off, so I could get done several things that I have to and, fingers crossed, I'll probably be able to spend a little more time playing.

Spend a chilled day off today. Gym and healthy food always make me feel great, which is a good pre-poker feeling to have.

I've played quite a few $1.50 S&G, this time the 9 people single table ones. I definitely made more bad plays than the usual, but still managed to finish the majority of the tournaments in the first 3 positions. The app on my phone shows me a total profit of $15.61 over 21 games played in 4 days.

I know, it is nothing, but as I said, my job keeps me way too busy.

Also, I set up hold'em manager 2, which has automatically imported all the hands played on pokerstars during the last year, showing me some horrible stats

My net won is -$182.23 at cash games and -$349.76 at tournaments. So I wasted over $500 playing stupidly and for fun in one year.

Recovering those amounts would be a nice goal to chase. No deadline, as it would only rush things for no reason.

So, this is how I would like and probably will follow up on my poker adventure:

- Playing as many S&G as I can focusing on how to play every hand in the best way;
- Marking all the "interesting" hand on HM2 and analysing them afterwards;
- Starting to read "The poker Mindset" by Matthew Highler, which I bought long time ago but never read;
- Buy " The mental game of Poker" by Jared Taylor, as I heard lot of positive feedback about it;
- Going through poker basics again with the material that can be found here on PokerStrategy.com

And also, looking forward to meet some players here in London!
