I ended up taking Sunday off. I'm about to start up my session now, but wanted to write down some goals before I started.

Day: 7+ hours
Week: 40+ hours (Sunday is last day of the week)

Pretty weak goals, I know. I'll come up with some better ones as I go. I'll throw a $25 freeroll on the Week goal to the first person who claims it.

Day session was gross. I didn't get a single 15/180man final table. I added in some MTTs (mostly turbo) to my session in order to increase my ABI. I placed like 25th in the 55 2x and like 65th in the 8r 2x. Other than that there wasn't much action, just a lot of busting. I might put in a night session, we'll see.

I woke up late and on the wrong side of the bed yesterday. I wasn't feeling great going into the session and my play was a bit off during it. I was fortunate enough to get 2 2nds in 3r/180s along with winning a 8/180. I felt like I could have played better, especially during one of the heads up matches. Oh well, gotta move on. It's always nice to come out with profit on an off day.

I'm about to start up today's session soon. Will update later.

I woke up early and got started around 9:30am. I was planning to put more hours in, but I got bored so I stopped a little early. It would be nice to start putting in longer day sessions and a couple night sessions here and there, but my motivation has been low lately. I got a couple 3rds in 180s and a 22nd in the 54 TKO. 180s continue to have way too many regs. I'm looking to put in a 7 hour day session today and possible a night session later, we'll see.

Yeah, maybe. The thought of playing 1 game for 8+ hours makes me cringe. The nice thing about MTSNGs is that I can set up my session to be done within an hour.

I don't use TableNinja's auto-register feature. I like to manually register my games and keep my table count around 20-25.

Pretty gross day. I couldn't get anything going during my day session and I was getting a little annoyed so I decided to end early again. This gave me time to put in a night session which obviously didn't go so well either. I got greedy and played a little higher than I would have liked. The majority of my losses came from $30+ buy-ins, 53 games -$1475. I'm going to try and limit SNG buy-ins to $35 or less and MTT buy-ins $55 and less until I feel more comfortable with swings like these.

I used to be able to handle swings fine, but lately it's been getting to me. I've been a little sick of playing 180s so I might try playing something else for awhile.

I've been taking a break away from poker. I've put in a few short sessions of $15 6max hypers and it's been going well so far. They've been a nice change of pace, running good at them helps. I still have a lot to learn about them, but I think I'll stick with them for a while.

I wrote a review of July on my blog. Goal for August is to play 160 hours.

Got that right. Totally baffles me why any decent player would want to teach the world to decrease his own ROI for the sake of a few K $ overall. It's pathetic. Bad enough the yanks who can't be bothered to move out the ****ing country to play now offering ridiculously cheap coaching rates. The only hope we have left is 1) most of said coaches are pretty crap anyway 2) students still need an element of savvy/talent to actually make the most of the coaching, so most of them will fail (or at least not reach maximum ROI) regardless of what they're taught. That's our only hope.

I've been finding the opposite to be true. Although I'm running good, I am actually starting to enjoy playing these.

I don't want to get too far into this, but the way things are now resulted from greed. I think a lot of guys figure that a player will find coaching elsewhere so they think why not capitalize and earn some side income. The problem isn't with just a few sources of information, it's pretty widespread and will continue to be a problem as long as money still has value and poker is still profitable.
__________________________________________________ ________



This is my August up to date. I still haven't been putting in many hours lately. I'm not too worried about it though. I've been finding other things to do and have been a lot less stressed with poker and trying to reach some monetary goal each month. However, I'd like to get back into a routine that involves me playing 6-8 hours regularly.

I've been running good and enjoy playing when I do play. I've been 12 tabling and doing 1 hour sessions which gets me somewhere between 50-60 games an hour. I don't expect my hourly to stay this high and I'll eventually want to add more table or move up to 30s, but for now I'm going to keep trying to improve.

For anyone interested, I wrote a blog about my early years playing live.
