Not learning a fat lot….

Things aren’t going so well on the poker front at the moment.
I seem to have a good start and then either make daft errors or get rivered.
I could do with playing the Crimbo value tournaments and if things stay the same I might force myself to have a break in January unless my fortunes turn around (A couple of wins or decent cashes always recharge the batteries). This run has coincided with me starting a part time degree course as I have assignments to hand in and am pushed for time (having not been in education for 25 years its a bit of a culture shock) but this might just be a shyt excuse for piss poor play.

I won’t give up playing poker as I enjoy it and with the stakes I play it is a good night and I am never going to go broke. Have read a few blogs by people who are struggling with their demons and it gives you a reality check about the little problems with consistency that are gnawing away at your mind.

Am £60 down for the month (+ a couple of footie bets have gone west) at the moment and currently have a roll of £320 in Hills and $120 on Full Tilt so need to claw a little back to aim at pushing towards £500 for the New Year bankroll.

Would happily settle for a £100 payout in a tourney at the moment. I wonder if
ukgatsby does training videos. (Not the sort of him prancing around with his leotard on though).

That’s all for now. Good luck

I think it's the bad months that make us better players.

It's easy when you're winning - and although you might be making mistakes, it's easy to gloss over them.
But a losing run does make you assess things.

It'll turn around.

Cheers Hairy. Lets hope the turnaround starts with the Bloggerment :)

I hope the arrgghhh by Amatay was horror and not the sound of him shooting his muck

Either way i dont do Leotards :)
I dont do training either. The rare moments of inspiration and brilliance are too few to share

Plus way too many bad habits would be passed on.
