Mid June Update...

Well if you remember from my most recent post i had alot of goals i wanted to accomplish this June. Well so far i have had just a terrible month and im on a terri-bad downswing. About the 9th of June it almost felt like a doom switch was set from Off to On in my account(I kid, I kid.) It really has been brutal, I'm down about 15 buy ins(3.2kish) and towards the end i started playing bad and would go on monkey tilt anytime i took a bad beat. I say i lost about 1k of the 3k due to tilt which is just unacceptable and really disappointing.

I don't want to bitch or dwell on negative stuff, but i feel like I'm about a 10% favorite to win, when i get it AIPF with KK. Ill post a few of my bad beats for no apparent reason, just to vent....

This is a standard BvB spot for me, actually thought i lost the minimum on this hand..

Really weird hand, don't really like my line at all. I was just trying to isco the first raiser who was a donk, Guess i made a good turn fold

Preflop raise is meh, but I've bricked on every combo draw I've played this month.

Sorry bout all the venting. Its just really frustrating to play about 40-60 hours a week and literally not have one winning session. I was so down on myself i cashed out all of my online poker roll and was on the verge of quiting. But like Matt Damon in rounders i turned the Car back around and cancelled my cashouts 24 hours later. I played a little bit of .50/$1 for the first time in awhile and won about 7 buy ins so I'm back on the winning track. Ive had a few winning sessions over the past few days so hopefully it ll turn around, I'm sure it will....

As for my other goals, i played both of the big W.S.O.P qualifiers on Tilt and Stars on Sunday. I played terrible and ran even worse. I just couldn't get anything going. Every Late position raise i made got 3 bet. I never got in any good situations and i felt like i was doomed from the start. I played a decent short stack, but busted out on a squeeze play with KQ on tilt and shoved J10 into KQ on the stars tourney(yeah i am playing bad i know..)

As for my personal goals. I don't think I've left the house in about a month. No new friends. No new girls =( I feel like if I'm on the computer for another day for 7+ hours I'm going to start stabbing my eye lids with a pencil. I really need to do something fun and get out of the house. I gotta get out of this little social rut I'm in. I think at the end of June I'm going to take 2 weeks off from poker and go out and do something fun everyday...that's the plan =)

Well I'm off, Going to watch game 6 of the NBA finals. Boston is up 3-2 and has a chance to close it out tonight IN Boston. They really need to ship it tonight because i think there would be alot of pressure on them to win game 7 after already being up 3-1. Plus i have a small bet on them at +165. So go Celtics!!!! Later all...
