What a horrible session on stars .... suckout after suckout.
Brutal, especially given the short amount of time within which everything happened.

Here are some examples ...




And I was in such a good mood before this session, I had quads and a straight flush all of which I played well and extracted max $$ (although some of the calls ppl made were pretty bad)

Hopefully when I clear the bonus on stars I'll break even by the end of this week ...

C'mon RUN GOOOOTTT

I forgot to update, but I ended up 81/~3400 for a cash of ~$50. Not bad, I was in 20th position or so and then in two hands - two bad beats and GAME OVER. It was frustrating but it just served as a reminder for good bankroll management. Despite the skill involved, poker is still a game of luck - its good to be reminded once in a while.

Started playing some LHE on PS. I'm doing it, because I feel that the fish are drying up in NL100 & NL200 - and I've noticed ALL THE GOOD players right now started with LHE. I think this run is going to help my NL game because you see more hands played out so it gives you a feel for the odds that someone has top pair or another made hand.

Good stuff. My next aim is to play exclusively on PS and try and reach Gold or Platinum VIP status by December and then play in the VIP tournaments.

cool 960/1972 at the break!
4600 chips, average is ~5000 chips and the chip leader has more than 28k in chips!

I've been missing out on a lot of value on the river, need to bet my 2nd pair/top pair more often and not be scared of hands that dominate. I need to make my opponents make mistakes!

I'm giving the 30k Guaranteed $11BI tourney on PokerStars another shot.
Working on a project at the same time, hopefully that will prevent me from doing stupid things in the first hour.

Cash games have been going great been running like GOD! ~45BB's/100 hands ...
