…let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. I got too carried away with playing mtts which I never usually do and blew a bunch o money when I should have broken even for the month. I’m a bit mad at myself. Hubby and I looked over my books since August 07 and decided I should give up the mtts for this month (except railbird freerolls and points freerolls…freerolls in general) and concentrate on stts/sngs. Speaking of railbirds…I guess a week makes a difference…I somehow went from 34th in the ranking to ending the month placed 137? Not sure how that happens but I checked my ranking with theirs and it matches up…I’m wondering if they ended up lumping in the bodog tournaments after they said they weren’t going to…I don’t play in any of those and if those count it would deeply affect how I rank.
Looking over my journals I’m doing the best right now in $2 stts/sngs…and I’ve been playing mostly nlhe and omaha ones. I’m going to stick with that on fulltilt as that’s where my bankroll management I follow dictates I should be right now. On pokerstars my bankroll is a bit smaller and although I could play $2 ones on there, there really isn’t such a great offer of $2 anything on there except mtts which I just promised to avoid for the month lol. I’m going to stick with the $1 multi-table sngs on there…I do pretty well at them and if I make the $, the cash would be bigger than at a single table tournament.
The other thing….no more shooting money over to hubby if I can help it. I’ve been watching my bankroll dwindle because I’ve been bankrolling both of us and he hasn’t been faring well. I gave him one last lil bit o money tonight and told him he’s on his own for now. Luckily he cashed in the two stts he played in (I’m having him play in the $2 stts on ft as it’s the same rake as the $1 ones…a much better deal).
I logged on to ft with my new plan tonight, excited to give it a go. The first 6 stts/sngs I played in (3 nlhe and 3 omaha hi) I didn’t cash in (OMG, BLEH LOL) and then I won the next stt and came in 3rd in the last one. Not a great night (none of them have been lately) but I only lost just over $5 which is much smaller than it’s been lately. I don’t feel I played bad tonight and I was very diligent about taking notes and paying attention to the game but my hands just weren’t holding up. I’m not upset about the loss for the night because of this. I normally only get upset about losing when I know I’m losing because of my own bad play.
Tomorrow is a new day…I’m looking forward to sticking to my plan and having a much better month.
