I got bit by the tourney bug

So I played a bunch of 45, 90, and 180 man tournies this week. Also played a few larger field MTT's and had a few good runs. Ended up at three FT's, and had some deep runs in a couple of other large field MTT's. Ended up being up $280 from them but I really had a couple of good chances to really make some decent coin from. Ah well nature of the beast with tournies I suppose.

I know I've said it before then changed my mind but I've decided (and this time for real) that I'm going to focus mainly on my cash game. I have decided to set up a plan that will allow me to play 2 hrs a day for 5 days a week. On days were I am focused and sharp I will 6 table 50nl 6max. On days were I don't feel I'm playing my A game I will 6 table 50nl FR because honestly you can auto pilot ABC on FR 50nl and make the moniez. This leads me to another thing I've been pondering writing about. I think I'm going to write a pseudo article on the outside influences on poker. Things like state of mind, superstitions, diet, sleep etc. I feel it has a lot more to do with being successful than most people realize(or at least give credit to).

Well I think that will wrap it up for now. I have a ton of school work still to do. It's a lot harder balancing the work load of being a student while having a full time job. It didn't seem this difficult to balance out time the first time around.

This is why I hate poker

FTP offered me a bonus. Sweet haven't had one of those offers in a long while so lets gogogogo. 6 tabled 50nl 6max. Played more than I have in recent memory the last 10 days. I played 6 days for 2-3 hrs each day. Except at the end because I went on a bad run, monkey tilted and turned off the FTP client. still positive but still I was really disappointed. Here's the stats.

Hands:4,654
Amount Won: $180.80
bonus: $75
Rakeback: $37.53
Total: 291.33

Put this way I don't really have much to bitch about except for the low BB/100. For your viewing pleasure however



I really can't wait for one of those sick ass runs I read about all the time where your hands actually hold up.
