Yeh yeh, I've been thinking of doing this for a while, and I think the time is appropriate now. I've been on my worst downswing ever recently (like everyone else except Zook, ya?), having dropped about 33% of my roll (40k downswing, but dont worry ive recovered some:P) at a certain point. I took a break and traveled to Australia for a month, followed by a week in St-Kitts for the Carribean Poker Tourney which was a blast. Now I'm back and I really want to work on my game and turn things around.

My main game has been 6-10 tabling 500nl, and I've been playing/running great over a significant sample size. But as soon as I move up to 5/10 I've just getting destroyed, and im not even kidding you (Stats at bottom of this post). I'm definitly not playing scared money since I'm always decently rolled and have come to the point that losing 5k pots doesnt really bother me that much? I think that is part of the problem, sometimes I just spew so horribly and make utterly dumb plays at lower limits because "I already lost a 10k pot, so 500-1k$ is nothing" which is stupid. Anyways...

My goal are the following:
-Talk more about poker with buddies..I'm probably the guy that talks to least poker through IM's, even though I have plenty of resources available.
-Do sweat reviews or vids/get coaching/coach someone
-Get better at note taking (notes have done me more harm than good)
-PLAY more hands, I want to get in 50k hands/month w/out going over 8tables
-Stop when I feel tilty/Never play tired
-Table select..I dont need to sit with the regs, at least not until my game is back on track
-My monetary goal remains at 20k/month incl. RB + bonus

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I used the word Donk in the title not only because I want to play vs them and profit, but because I am a donk myself sometimes (often). This thread will be used to post my donkish plays of the day, and hopefully entertain a few of you.

These are most of my hands at those limits:


I withdrew a bunch and I'm left with a 8.4k BR, but I'll still play both 200nl and 500nl for now. Here we go!
