Who knows...half the hand history is there and then it is for all three tables combined

i played 3 tables of .02/.05 for about 2.5 hours last night. Tony was on one table with me and watching the others.

Mr.D i set it so i will save my HH on my computer so they will be easier to read from now on.

end of week report...

BR total $129.10

I played mostly .02/.05 6-max running 3 tables at a time. I am trying to get HEM or PT3 to keep better stats but I am in the market for a new computer so it may be a week or so.

I mixed in some SNGs with little passion and even worse results. So I doubt I will be revisiting them anytime soon.

Where you at Mr.D?

Congratz Vic, if i werent at your table your profit margain woulda been higher :p

Long Story Short...

2002 had mono...
Doctor didn't fully treat mono...
Mono festered and immune system weakened and some bacteria infections in my blood...
Been on antibiotics the last 6 months and increasing dosages...
Dr. finally figured things out (even though I have no clue what he is talking about! LOL)...
Added more antibiotics (5 total) and started worst one last week (hopefulyl only 3 more months to go)...
All of this = chronic fatigue, lots of sleepiness and foggy thinking

So, I started the challenge off well and got up to about $120...started the higher dosages of medicine then over a couple sessions last week dropped to $90. I could not really remember the sessions when I dropped (I did look at hand history and it was horrible). Realized that I probably shouldn't play poker when these drugs are kicking my butt. So, developed a new plan. I am going to try to play fewer sessions and limit them to less time per session. I am also going to try and play in the mornings and if I feel bad, no playing, only sleeping.

Finally felt decent enough last night to play after a good meal and a nap and got back to about even! So, I am refocused and going to come back and pull ahead. After all, V is going to donk off most of his BR, right???

Okay,
So about half way through this month and here is my report.
Started with $100 and now have $151. Only problem is, Jlady need money on UB so he sent me money on stars. So, my actual bankroll for this challenge is only $101.

I have been up and down more than Monica on Bill. I have had a high of $125 and a low of $77. I think I have found some ways to adjust to players at the lower levels. In general though, my biggest losses come from overplaying strong hands. i.e., I had a loss last night with KK's where I raised 6xbb from the button and the small blind called. Flop was Q72 and basically small blind made a min bet, I raised, he reraised, we got all in. He had A7 and hit the 7 on the river! Especially at this level I think I will see this much more often so I have A)loosened up a bit and B)buy in for less now. Between these things, I seem to be gaining traction and working my way back up!

I got a ways to go to catch V, but, I am going to try!

alright, update from the front lines...

current BR is 173.14
currently playing 3 tables of .05/.10

I have been in a good mindset for most of my sessions. As tends to happen I have taken some brutal beats at these low levels and managed to keep my cool most of the time.

$173 is the highest my Br has been and I have not dropped below $92 of the original $100.

This next week will be slow as we are moving into a new house and most of my poker time will be packing and moving time. Hopefully Mr.D will take this to his advantage and step up his game a wee bit.

gl all.

end of november br $132

lets see if i can avoid the next donkey tilt off!

$115.49 was my end of the month. With only 3 hours to go in the competition I had a BR of about $130. However, I ran quite poorly. I think I played well though, it was just one of those things.

I have found two more things I need to work on. 1) not letting it affect me when I lose a big hand and I think I played it correctly. 2)I got to learn to 3 bet the flop.

Well, I will keep giving V advice on how to beat me and work on getting to .05/.10 where I think I will have a big advantage
