Things have been pretty swingy for me lately. In the last week I have had my biggest one day win ($8200) and second biggest one day loss (-7500) in the 60/120 game at the commerce. I have had bigger days in bigger games, but probably not in bets. All of this happened as I have been focusing on changing my play to reduce variance some by trying not to put as many chips into pots and not going after as many unwinnable pots.

About a week ago, I considered making a play which I was pretty sure was bad in a FTOPS tournament, and I made it anyway. I mentally justified it by telling myself that "oh well, its just a stupid tournament, I want to double up or quit." This is just not acceptable. I take this attitude far too often in online tournaments, mainly because of a lack of patience or mental discipline. I need to state it publicly and openly in order to force myself to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Sorry its taken so long to update. I havent been playing much lately so in turn I havent been updating this blog much either. I've been really sick and it got even worse the last week or so. I went to the doctor's and was told I had a sinus infection but only got worse after 2 days on antibiotics. Went back today and found out I have mono, which sucks. What does it mean? Well I can't play any sports for over a month, can't do any heavy lifting or drink. Fun stuff! This year has been ridiculous with how often I have been sick, it's getting REALLY old.

Event 4 was a $300 NLHE tournament that allowed one $300 rebuy and one $3000 add-on. The initial $300 bought 2000 chips, the rebuy bought 2000 chips anytime during the first hour that you had 2000 chips or fewer, and the add-on bought $2500 chips at the end of first hour.

So here's my synopsis of my night in poker. It sucked. I am going to do an hour of commentary for Nickzor after this blog though, which is a benefit of busting everything rather quickly. I played alright tonight, although I was super TAG, which is weird. I think its because its early and I have grown to hate stealing without antes. Anyhoo, I don't even want to talk about hands tonight because it just sucked too much.

July was a frustrating month for me since I lost online. On the bright side, I ran pretty hot in the live games and was still able to profit overall. I don't feel like I played very well and was really just going through the motions. I think a part of the problem was too much time traveling for weddings and whatnot, I really couldn't get into a rhythm. Hopefully August will be better (it looks like it so far). I hope everyone else in pokersavvyplus world has a great month!

Past week or so I've been getting close to a big score like its my job and just keep getting boned in the late game. Today was a fairly rough one. I had put in a fairly long session last night as well getting 28th in the FTP 65k and 3rd in a 60 player winner take all $12k sat. I ended up getting off the computer at 3am last night and decided to watch an episode of Lost real quick as I was 5 episodes from the end of Season 3. Well 7:25am rolled around and I was done with Season 3. Nice life.
