Need a plan.. Things are going slowly

Maybe i need to make a plan. I'm not gonna do it whilst writing this blog coz i need time to think about it. Plus if i do make a plan im gonna have to stick to it so am gonna spend more time thinking about it. Poker is still going up. but very slowly gonna have to make a few night's a week dedicated to playing 4-5 hours each night i reckon. Played four the other day and didnt cash in any. Made it back tonight tho and a little with the four i played. won 3 out of 4. In all honesty that is awful lou!!! - for somone who loves poker sooo much and reads and rails it every chance i get when it comes to playing i rarely do. Played a mtt on betfair last night entry fee was 5.50 and came 17th/202 for 12.50. gutted really, cudda been a nice win.
Back to my plan........ not sure if i should think of a certain amount by certain time to treat myself/gfriend :) or just get my bankroll as high as poss playing by proper bankroll manangement.

Actually in the middle for applying for a job at the mo. 28k year which is lot better than have been used too. maybe that might open my mind and let me play bit more free at poker tables :)

going up slowly :)

Bit hungover this morning but thought id fire up a couple of sng's whilst doing a bit of railing on the two big holdem games on fulltilt. Durrrr has 550k on one table and nearly 900k on the other Amazing. when i first started watching he had roughly 80k on both.

I won both my games which helped my sharkscope out. Dont think i had won one in 5 before today, been rushing them and trying to be clever when its impossible at this level imo.

probably played 15 all together since last time.

Im gonna use my bank rol of about $60 in Betfair on learning more about cash games. Sng's really aren't poker.(well not at $2 level). I have decided that im not going out for the whole on November and am gonna get my best mate to coach me for a few hours a week.

My bankroll isn't as high as it shud be coz i lost a big $10 bet to Dan in a downing comp lol



Bankroll $116

Sharkscope +$11 ROI 19%

Well done me...

Ok, last night i played 6 sng's winning 3 2nd in 1 and lost 2 which means bankroll went up a little but more importantly my sharkscope is now in the black again!!! - Still not showing profit but at least it isn't in the minus anymore lol.

one hand stands out blinds were 100/200 and i had 900 chips after some bad flops and silly play. Four of us left and i was first to act and had kj. I shoved with fingers crossed for a weak call! Big blind calls with A8. Nice call my stack is way to short for him with any ace not to call. He hit and ace on the flop goodnight lewis right???? - Wrong. i hit a king on turn and jack on riverlol (HOW SICK) I was down to 140 chips in this particular sng at one point as well. I'm glad to say that the guy i totally bummed with my kj went on to beat my short stack with two left. So ended well :)

As you can see i dont put many hours in. I just dont have the time. Any spare time i have i feel i should be studying or seeing my mate or most importantly seeing my girlfriend. Just start feeling bit guilty if i stay on there too long

anyway back to point of post, well done me :)

First blog - How exciting!!!

Here goes. Right now i am playing $2 6max turbo sng's mainly on ftilt and a little on betfair.

Right these are my aims for keeping this blog:-
1. To keep an eye on my Sharkscope.com record more clearly and get out of the minus haha
2. Try to do things more properly (bout 5 weeks ago my mate owed me some money from going to watch my beloved Arsenal with me. and the amount was $40. so have decided to use this correctly as possible but starting out on $2 sit n gos coz i think i know i can beat them:) )
3. Think i might wanna from time to time write down some thoughts that might be bothering me in my life or just write all thats wonderful .
4. and finally (hopefully) i wanna be able to look back at this post in say 6months time and have a smile knowing what an idiot i am sounding and that i have moved up a few levels since.

Hopefully wont stay on sit n goes all my poker life coz like one of my best mate says and SHEETS "there not poker" lol. once i leave them i wont carry on with this blog dont think.

About my play:- My Fulltit Sharkscope status always looked ok.A bit up. and i would say get to a nice small amount and start taking shots at $22 or $33 sitngs and b4 i knew it my sharkscope read -$78!!! So from the $40 my mate stuck in my account i have just taken it over $101. I know that is pretty poor for 5-6 weeks but i only play like 10-14 sng's a week. So my Sharkscope is looking better
Over last 3 or 4 months have gotten alot better. Hell even think im better than 2 weeks ago. This is mainly down to my best mate Dan. Won't say his full name coz dont want to embarrass him haha. If he wasn't so impatient he wud be sitting on a very comfortable bankroll imo. He is awesome :)

Im gonna try get about 15-20 games in between each posts. Id love for that to be cut down to every other day soon. Also think my next move will be to play normal $5 6 max sng's. not sure what to make my bankroll b4 i take a shot hmmm???

Off to bed now
