Down 2 stacks today. heres some of the hh's
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=413672#413672
i really need to sit down and start new goals. i am sort of floating through poker right now.
So, here they are:
1. Play 1-2 sessions per day. each less than 1 hr.
2. Dont play tired, or with distractions. (turn off tivo!!!!)
3. Post daily results with at least biweekly graphs.
4. Post 10k hands PT results.
5. Stay on top of personal / professional life.
6. Reconquer 100NL by Thanksgiving. (>5bb/100)
7. Think more about what opponents hold.
8. Stop tilting.
9. Bankroll goal: 5k by 12/31.
OK. now i think i know a big part of the problem. i have been playing with the tivo on. i am not paying 100% attention to my tables. Also i need to sit forward in my chair when i play. Sometimes i lean back, and i play a bit more passively and make bad calldowns (weird eh?). But my dog likes to lie on the back of my neck with the puppy on my lap, both sleeping. |

Can you say "-EV"? 
Do you think you just have to adjust to the FT rockfest also? Are you still transitioning from your Ongame play? |

yup. still transitioning (that doesnt seem like its spelled right) from Ongame. that place was a goldmine for me. these FT players are rocking me. the only time i get stacks are when i hit gutshots. |

i think for FT you just have to get a comfy BR, splash a bunch of pots to build a bad image, and get paid off. |

On the plus side, you can slowly and somewhat variance-free inch your stack upwards in rockfest places by raising and stealing constantly. |

thats what i was doing vs the weak-tighties at Ongame. not happening so much at FullTilt, they are much more aggro at FT |

So here's my most recent 10k checkup:
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=414309#414309
pretty ugly. find the holes. lost another 3 stacks today. Played 25/10. Im going to change my goals to 18/8. Im playing way too loose and its costing me bigtime.
Set up pokeracehud for the first time at FullTilt. It works rather well, just have to change the table setup now! Its pretty cool to see mucked hands right away. |

thanks for the reassurance, i thought i was going crazy. playin much better tonight during Full-Tilt prime-time. Got my roll back to 750$
Im playing more in a good rhythm now. Checking people's stats methodically before each bet. Also im going to really tighten up in EP. Goal stats are 11/9 UTG. (sometimes i try for a limp-reraise donk style. Also im going to cut down on cold calling, and unsuited gappers/connectors from CO+.
Checking my stats today i was 18/10. Just about perfect. I wouldnt mind tightening up even a bit more. The thing is with playing so loose is that when i finally get a big pair its so much better than the other hand's im playing i cant let it go as easily. Also i stay away from hitting my flush v higher flush and hitting a flush v full house as well. |

Ya I meant to ask you about your connector/gapper play currently (suited or not). Are you bleeding money with these hands? |

played decent today. 2k hands, down 2 stacks.
my KK rand into AA 3 times in the last 17 times i've had it. also got a couple of bad beats with QQ. Those 2 were my biggest losers today. If one or 2 go a different way im a big winner for the day. Another place im losing money are my river calls. A couple of laggs had my # tonight on the river.
So i found a neat trick about Full Tilt, if i observe hands they get into my PokerTracker. I dont know if i can run it overnight, but while i play my 8 tables i have another 6 collecting stats. I'll let them run over night and see how long before it boots me due to being idle. |

+4 buyins today. won set over set, cracked a couple of aces, got an OESD as well. I have datamined a bit. I think I might just switch to datamining right before a session, that way my database doesnt get too unwieldy. of course im still at 50NL and hope to move up ASAP to 100NL. (still quite some time before that happens.
Bankroll - $1163. |

You'll get there. Most of us have gone through these months upon months of going nowhere and then BANG! make 1K in a couple of nights playing NL100 (or more at higher stakes)
i'll share my experience on these rockfest tables though... remember the Empire bonuses after party split the skins!?
the first time i had 20x BR and played TP fast-playing good hands and got smashed. 2nd time I played with a 150x BR (they didn't have bigger games) I played judicially loose, frequently raising and killed the game for 10 buy ins over 1000 hands. Consider moving to Poker Stars or Bodog. It takes a totally different mindset to win these games compared to poker room skins and the psychological pressure of a limited working bankroll doesn't help |
