Ok, I'm going to make this quick.
October: Best month ever. I basically started playing again after a couple month layoff in the early-mid stages of this month.
November (ignoring the first couple days of the month to make this post sound more badass): worst month ever. I'm down about 12k. Over 100% of this has come from 2/4 and 5/10, split roughly equal. For simplicity's sake, lets say I'm at -7k each, and +2k at 3/6.
This is unacceptable. I refuse to pull the variance card. I need to play better.
I'm going to have a goddamn winning month if it's the last thing I do in November. End of story.
+30 buyins at 2/4 by November 30th. Watch. I'll post my progress here if I deem it necessary.
Tomorrow is a fresh start.

Truthfully, when I was really making a ton of money was when I was playing with some real agression to my game. Once things started turning around and I tried playing tighter and got a case of fancy play syndrome, thats when things started going downhill. Oh, and the fact that my last 75 big pairs have been cracked in reraised pots doesn't help.

for the last few weeks, pretty much.
The thing is though, even if you play 0 hands, you have a good chance of winning.

we can do it for a symbolic sum, like a hundred bucks or so. i can't play a zillion hands because of school etc, but it would be fun (probably profitable and motivating) and i'd make a serious attempt still

it's on. here is my PT stats. i'll probably play 400nl at pokerroom too, and they suck with importing into PT (missed hands all the time). i'll just let you know how much i deposit there when i do. i'll only play 400nl there anyway, so. (non-existant action at 600nl, which still is a little too scary for me.) gl.

Well, I've only played on stars and party so it's kinda hard for me to say. They are certainly tougher then the old party. I don't think I'm a particularly great player but I'm a long-term winner there, hence they can't be too hard.
btw, you should play some at 2/4NL on stars. Might as well get some hands in together.

just played 3000 hands, up about $600.
I dropped over $2000 before I quit. I was up about $2800 at one point. Poker makes me want to cry sometimes.

playing past your bedtime -ev. the games get much tougher then as well and concentration goes way down.

considering that I got up at 5pm today, I hope 2am isn't past my bedtime.
agreed though that the games get a lot tougher, but I had a lot of nasty setups as well. A couple combo draws missed, KK < AA, set under set, etc. I mighta spewed off a buyin or 2 as well. Standard I guess.

ah! your wakeup time needs to be centered around the euros! they are a goldmine.. they start paying you off around noon eastern time on the euro heavy sites, and peak around 5pm. you are missing out on some action.

rofl, qft.
right now my pt looks like this: 9.4k hands, +800ish. So I've played about 6k hands and about +4 buyins since we started.
If I stopped spewing off buyins before quitting, that would be much higher.

here's some i've found useful. i *try* to stick to them, when i do it usually pays off.
1. pokersitescout.com is a great resource. dive into the stats and look around. you will make a lot more $$ playing during peak hours.
2. play in regular sessions.. with start and stop times.. 50mins to 1hr is best for me.
3. cut down on distractions, empty bladder before playing, take care of dogs/wife/obligations before each session. also use a different part of your brain between each session (physical activity/chores). aggressive music is good (rage against the machine), turn off tv.
4. post nightly hh's, and comment on others. include horribly played hands as well as braggy hands.
5. post daily progress to keep yourself accountable, you will make a lot less bad plays when you know someone is watching over your shoulder (ftr).
6. have multiple accounts at different places, always play for bonuses and rakeback. keep your nickname secret.
7. dont play tired/hungry/angry/tilting. its ok to quit before the bb hits you, playing that last Axs UTG because its your last hand is a good way to lose money.

How do you get a read in an hour, or do you use a HUD?

HUD. by 20 or so hands i have a good idea on how a player plays, if i dont already have stats on them.
this goes both ways though, as if you keep playing regular sessions oppos dont have any reads on you yet. so you can get away with stuff you dont normally do, or get paid off easier.
i suppose you could try and build a "false image" of yourself as well, by starting real loose or real tight and then switching gears.
