Its been a while since I have had time to post, but I have been playing and doing pretty good. I had a couple of cash losses and I'm to lazy to go back and figure out what I lost when. I have been doing pretty good in sngs and tournys though.
Last Sunday I played a couple of sngs before I was going to go out for my planned yardwork. I did well and was up about a hundo when I noticed it started raining outside. Yardwork on hold, weeeeeeeee. I notice the Sunday Million tourny is about to start and its the PS 10B Hand Special with 250K added and almost 11k players so I decided to play in my first ever Sunday Million. Things went well and I ended up going out somewhere around 360 for $1214. 1k profit on that tourny.
Since that tourny I have played a few sngs with decent results and I think only one cash session that I ended down $24 after being down over 200 at one point.
So things have been pretty good with poker and I hope to start logging more hands of 6 handed cash, probably not tonight though as tonight is the home game party.

Better Day
5/14/2007
Today: +$139.30
To date: -$96.15
Bankroll: $1903.85
190 hands *** 79 Minutes *** 21.58/14.21 ***
Had a lot better day. Not much to say other than I had a couple of nice hands that held and only one tough hand which I posted below.
Never sure what to do here. Look like a donk in a hand like this or look like a hero when the guy has AQ. He was short stacked so I think I was locked into calling his re reraise.

Bad Weekend
Bad poker weekend. Lost a little friday without much time to play. Then I got killed on Saturday. I had a guy on my left who was 74/58 and I had a lot of hands logged on him. He was just killing the whole table, especially me. Heres the numbers for the two days.
5/12/2007
Today: -297.55
To date: -$235.45
Bankroll: $1764.55
326 hands *** 167 Minutes *** 22.09/15.95 ***
Here are a few hands from my bad session:
Not sure what I should have done here, well fold I guess but at what point, on the flop?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1095305
These other two hands are hands a guy I know would refer to as: "I played that hand like a nagger"
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1095323
In my defense of this last hand, this guy is the 72/58 and he was floating me a lot. I picked the wrong time to make a stand, should have figured that out with the mini raise, but I was steaming at this point.

Six Hand Session
5/10/2007
Today: +$11.65
To date: +$85.25
Bankroll: $2085.25
6 hands *** 1 Minutes *** 16.67/16.67 ***
I sat down to play some cash for an hour of so before I would need to leave for my home game tourny. Just as I sat at two tables I got a call from work and my wife started yelling for me from the other room. I looked down at the screen and see that I have AKs in the sb on one of my tables. It turns out that my son hit his head on one of the end tables after falling, trying to jump from one of our couches to the other and needed to go for stitches. So that was that and my session was over in 6 hands. The good thing was, I won a few bucks on the AKs hand before I logged off and was able to post a win for the day. Bad news was, I was late for my home game tourny and never really got in a rythym, so I missed the money for the third or fourth game in a row.

5/8/2007
Today: +$70.20
To date: +$70.20
Bankroll: $2070.20
126 hands *** 57 Minutes *** 28.57/18.25 ***
My first night back was a roller coaster session. I lost two big hands getting all in with KK preflop, the first one I lost to AQ when an ace flopped and I ran into AA on the other. So after being up 35 I found myself down 145. Then I got lucky and got a couple of nice hands myself. Two ace high flushes gave me the nuts going to the river with all the chips in the middle and in both hands the other player was drawing dead. I logged off after the second flush giving me a nice 70 win for the night. Nice start to my comeback.
One thing I am still struggling with is, when to log off. Like last night I logged off with the 70 win feeling good after being down 145. But when I started looking at my pokertracker stats I noticed I only played 126 hands. I'm still stuck on whether I should aim for a certain number of hands to play per night or set a goal of how much cash I would like to win in a session. Then setting my limits for how much I am going to lose before logging off without hitting those goals is another thing I will need to do once I set those factors of when I end my session. Just not sure if I want to be more structured and how to set it up or just shoot from the hip.

I'm Back
Had a GREAT weekend and decided to try and start posting again.
I started a new job at the end of January and haven't had the time to be that serious about poker. I pissed though a bunch of money not being that serious too. My bankroll was down to under a dime and it seemed like I was getting killed everytime I would play. Another reason I stopped posting. This weekend I had some time to play a little poker and I did pretty well. I have been doing pretty good for the last couple of weeks actually and my bankroll is back to almost 2 dimes. So with the good feeling of winning I decided to try and use that two grand to get serious about playing poker again.
My plan is to start playing at night when my kids go to bed and the donkeys come out. Hopefully I can build my bankroll again and keep posting.
