15 Feb 2008 - Out

Out: $235

I had another losing day, now 2 in a row. I finished up down 2.5 buyins, which isn't too bad given that I was down almost 5 with about an hour left. Things are just not going well for me. I got my $ in a ginormous pot with a set, but one of my opponents rivered a better set. Those things happen.

I have decided to redouble my efforts. I was 4-6 tabling, but now I am on 8. 4 short and 4 long. I hit 3800 hands today on half the day4 tabling and half 8 tabling. So I am going to shoot for 4500+ hands per day from now on. I think then I can target maybe 350K hands by end of may instead of 250K.

The variance is very hard to take. I was up at $350 on Jan 21st. The was the high point when the sh** hit the fan, and I was bumped all the way down to $120. So $230 isn't so bad, its just the mental thing of I've been here before, doing work I've already done yada yada yada I get so sick of my own voice.

A lot of times this isn't very enjoyable. I am still running at 6 BBs per 100, but I have lost more at the higher levels than the lower. So while I continue to screw around at the lower levels it is just an incredible amount of aggravation for the amount of money made. I am sure the higher levels will bring their own problems.

I have thought seriously about quitting this blog. I feel in a lot of ways its just a distraction. But it is therapy for me to write about it. This effort is a lot of work.
