DAy 60: So Close Yet So Far
After my last update I ran really hot, winning 20 dollars and 25 dollars one table SNGs and doing real well in cash games also. I find it most efficient for me to play 3 table cash games at a time and 2 SNGs at a time. I've been experimenting playign 3 cash game tables and one SNG simultaneousl. Had pretty good success doing that for awhile. I ran my bankroll up to as high as 2270.
But yesterday I ran into a big bump in the road. was doing well, working my BR from 2140 to 2270, then all of the sudden within an hour and a half I just lost a bunch of money. It was a combination of bad luck and bad play. I lose with JJ vs a guy calling me down with K2 hitting his king, going all in on a JQxx board with 99 and having a guy call with AT hitting his ace on the river... To top it off I lost 66 dollar in one hand with AA with a on a Qxxx board to a guy who hit his low straight... I could have gotten away from this but when you are losing you tend to not fold AA. I also lot a few pots by bluffing. Lost it back down to 2022. -250 may not seem like a lot but to me it is a lot. Overall, the lesson to be learned from that day are:
1. When I feel frustrated, I should stop, because I am still not immune to a slight tilt and that effects my play.
2. When a guy at my tables develop a big stack over 100 and I have less money then him, I should quit thattable.
3. There was a rounder at my table (the guy who busted me) who was playign 7 tables. I should avoid playing with rounders because they dictate the pace and that can mess up my game at least for now.
4. I should not play when it is too hot and I am sweating profusely... Have to be comfortable physically to play good poker.
With that being said, I have to now look foward. The bright side is that I worked my BR up to over the 2K mark and right now its sitting at $2011. The frustrating thing is that I was so close to reaching my goal and the one bad day put me back farther behind. Thats the reason why the finish line for this project seems so close yet so far.
I plan to play more 20 dollar and 25 dollar SNGs and less cash from now on in attempt to reach my goal.... But that doenst mean i wont play cash, just not as much. I think SNGs is still less volatile then cash, I can grind money more surely in SNGs, though it still seems slower and less profitable.
I am going to round up my overall goal to be the mark where my BR hits 2500 as opposed to 2470 before. Total profit at that point should be a little over 2000. Overall here are my results up to date.
Days left to accomplish Goal: 40
My BR: 2011
My overall profit: +1535
I still need: 489
