A bit better yesterday hands wise got 312 hands in but lost 26c for -2.08BB/100, this takes my win rate down to 0.80BB/100 for 22,413 hands.
The highlight of the day was that I hit quad 77, also had 3 lots of AA but on two of them everyone folded damn!!!
Tourney tickets are now $49.50. The month has kicked off ok though so lets keep rolling.

Well yesterday only got 198 hands in but made a profit of 58c or 7.32BB/100, this takes my win rate to 0.86BB/100 for 22,611 hands played. I was up early researching my tracker and was guilty of falling asleep in front of my pc waiting for a table. Got 2 pairs AA both winning one made a set the other a 4 flush. Tourney tickets are now $50.00.

Only got 170 hands in yesterday again feeling very tired not much play about on the night but made 88c or 12.94BB/100, this takes my win rate up to 0.95BB/100 for 22,781 hands played. Only got one pair of AA and everyone folded at least that they do not lose that way.
Tourney tickets are down to $48.50. Now the election is out of the way I can get more play in, here's hoping.

Hi Muscledude

What Poker room are you playing?
And how many tables do you play simultaneously?

Shouldn't your status be at least silver here at PokerStrategy with the volume that you make last weeks?
Or aren't you tracked?

Hi Sol4r
I play at pokerstars as that is best place for limit and one table only. I am not tracked I started on stars in 2007.

I must admit the footie was well worth watching and I am sure Saturday will be the same. As such I only got in 112 hands for a profit of 62c or 13.84BB/100, this takes my win rate to 1.01BB/100 for 22,893 hands played. I am also back to 20% of bad losing days 14/70.
I am running hot this month so I will have a bad day coming soon. Tourney tickets are $48.50.
The highlight of the day was when I raised with K8s I hit a flop making 2 pair then K on turn for a full house, then K on river for quads. Got one pair AA but they got beat.

Well the footie did not disappoint England through on penalties for a semi-final line up with the Netherlands. Therefore not much play at all today just 47 hands in total for a profit of 31c or 16.49BB/100 and takes my win rate up to 1.05BB/100 for 22,940 hands. Tourney tickets are unchanged at $48.50.

Yesterday was a good day all round got 180 hands in for a profit of $1.40 or 19.44BB/100 and takes my win rate up to 1.19BB/100 for 23,120 hands played. Also hit quad KK again too. Tourneys were good too got another $11 ticket and a step 2 $1 ticket, tourney tickets are now $59.00.
I was profitable in both blinds today, obviously I am running hot and hope it carries on for a while longer. I am due a bad losing day very soon.

Way too many aggro players about right now and really hard to find good tables. When I did start it was a rocky start and thought it was going to end badly but I recovered for a profit of 71c for only 92 hands played or 19.29BB/100, this takes my win rate to 1.26BB/100 for 23,212 hands played.
Tourney tickets slightly reduced to $58.00.
Something I have noticed is that since I corrected the hand chart I was using up to 29th May and from that date my win rate is over 2BB/100.

I thought yesterday was going to be a bad down day as I suffered a very bad beat in my first session I had TT and hit top set on flop and paired the board for top full house on river, unfortunately someone had quad 88's and that was a 22BB pot gone. However, I stuck in there and ended with a profit on the day of 38c or 6.21BB/100 for 153 hands played, this takes my win rate up to 1.29BB/100 for 23,365 hands played.
It was also good in the tourneys I won a spin & go and then got a 4th place cash in a step 2 for $1.36, so a good day all round in the end. Tourney tickets are still at $58.00.
July is normally good for hot weather but I am running hot I think as I am up 9.73BB/100 for 1,418 hands played at least I thought I was until that hand.

Had builders in yesterday and today plus the England match, watch out Spain, so not too many hands played. A small loss for the day was registered of -27c or 6.37BB/100 for 106 hands played and takes my win rate down to 1.26BB/100 for 23,471 hands played.
Tourney tickets are slightly up at $58.50.

Yesterday I played 252 hands for a profit of 31c or 3.08BB/100, at one stage is was going so badly I thought it was going to be a bad losing day but things got better like flopping quad TT's, losing QQ v AA then next hand winning with KK it was mad.
My win rate is now 1.30BB/100 for 23,861 hands played. Also noticed that I am in profit this month in all positions inc. the blinds.
Only had 2 slightly losing days in the last 2 weeks I hope the run continues. Tourney tickets are slightly down to $58.00.

Yesterday I played 163 hands for a small profit of 20c or 3.07BB/100 and takes my win rate up to 1.31BB/100 for 24,024 hands played. Tourney tickets are down a bit to $56.50.
I have read all the basic stuff but do not have silver status to do any more study/reading. I feel I am doing well and progressing. This blog could make the foundation of a good fixed limit 6-max book too.
My aim is still to get my deposit off and move up to 5c/10c in May 2025 or so with 1,000BB bankroll.

With yesterday having the tennis and football finals on there was never going to be much play and well done to Spain on winning both. I only played 51 hands for a decent profit of 61c and 29.90BB/100 and takes my win rate up to 1.37BB/100 for 24,075 hands played.

I was fuming yesterday, I could not get onto one table because I had what was apparently too many seating attempts, so I had trouble getting onto a table and I played a step 3 tourney only to lose my internet connection while doing ok in the event.
Anyway it was a losing day on the cash tables of -54c or 9.64BB/100 for 140 hands played. This takes my win rate down to 1.31BB/100 for 24,215 hands played.
Pokerstar's kindly refunded my entry so my tickets are now $44.00.

Tourney tickets still $44.00.

Yesterday was a washout no play because Fantasy football went live so I and 10m other managers were picking our teams for the new season so hopefully back to normal today.

It seems like a lot of people stayed off the pc today, me included, with worldwide hit to the internet. I got on quite late but only played a few hands, like 10 only, made 10c though for 25BB/100 and takes my win rate to 1.40BB/100 for 24,369 hands. Tourney tickets are $44.50.
