Sorry for the lack of posts, just cant get the bankroll going, Cardrunners make it look so easy but they just have no idea what it is like at the micros at all, no point playing against a table full of donks who call with bottom pair or even kind high and play any 2 suited cards. You can not put a fool on a range, let alone narrow that range based on their actions after the flop, just stupid.
Every time I deposit it goes the same way, up up up then *boom*busto, every time a run gets going and I move up to parlay the wins I get coolered or bad beat. It is just not funny anymore.
Not sure whether I'll carry on with this blog or not, not sure if i will even bother depositing again or not, not sure whether online poker is a big illusion or a big joke and the winners are laughing at me right now but do not realise themselves that they are just on a lucky upswing and that I will have the last laugh when some donkey takes their bankroll when they were 99.9999999999% favorite to win.
Was thinking that I might try Pot-Limit Omaha instead, apparently there is tons of easy money there, looks worth a shot.

Cardrunners So Far
Decent enough christmas, usual boring family stuff really. Did get a bit of a questioning from an uncle about my future... he did not really understand that Poker is a career option these days.
Anyway, had some time to get stuck into some of the Cardrunners videos including CitizenWind, Verneer and of course some of the high-stakes action from Cole South and co. Best investment in my game ever, can see a couple of my leaks already - like paying off big bets when my hand is pretty well defined. Can also see that everyone on the site uses a heads-up display for their stats with pokertracker or holdem-manager or whatever, this is something I really must get hold of (there is an offer to get Holdem Manager for cheap via cardrunners). Anyway - will have to build up a bit of a bankroll first.
Still pissed that I dumped my roll, but now feeling that this should be a lesson more than anything. Going to start fresh when I get my first paycheck of the new year and take the game a lot more seriously this time.
Really should get my blogroll started here too - if anyone reading wants to link up then just shout.

Broke, Tilted It All Away
Fuck
Had a few drinks with some friends yesterday evening and stupidly decided to log on when I got home. Started out ok when some donk rivers a flush he had no fucking business chasing and sends me on mega tilt. 3 $25 buy-ins later I decide to sit in the $200 game and get it all back in one go, dealt queens and get it all in on a rags board, only to be shown a flopped set of 4's. Switched on Tilt and, yeah, same shit different cards
Thats it for me until the new year, after presents, rent and a couple of nights out I have no cash to reload. So stupid, cant believe I did it really. well, at least I have the Cardrunners to keep me going, also got a few points to play some freerolls with if things get that desperate.
Cant believe it really.

Pumped - Just Got My Cardrunners Logon
Feeling pumped at the moment, early christmas present thanks to parents and Cardrunners. Since it is a monthly subscription they got it from today and so gave me the password from today - after all there would be no point wasting a week.
Not going to play a single hand tonight - gonna find the best of the best on the site and really work / think about my game. Gonna be crushing those tables this weekend without a single doubt.
Will post results here on Sunday.

Sick Beat City
Un-fucking-believeable session on Stars tonight, and I mean totally un-fucking-believable. Got that money in good so many times it actually hurts to think about it and still dropped 4 (and a bit) buy-ins at $25 NL over the space of 2 hours.
Just don't get how these people are able to play, well, I mean of course they can join the games as long as they have enough cash, what I mean is how they manage to stay in the games for more than a few minutes... playing suited-trash, calling stacks with middle pair, just totally unbluffable and looking no further than their own cards - yet winning pot after pot.
You study the game, work on your reads, good bet sizing and then *boom* some fucking asshole thinks his Ace-six off is pre-flop and another buy-in bites the fucking dust. I know in my mind that the system is good, if it were rigged then the 2+2 crowd would have spotted it by now, just can't believe how easy it is for the complete retards to get lucky sometimes. Soul destroying is not the word.
Back to the grind.

Considering A Training Site
So, the noise levels of the parents what shall we get ya for christmas gets louder and louder. I'm considering a training site membership, narrowed the field to the following.
- Cardrunners, obv choice right? The best instructors and a ton of vids.
- Negreanus thing... VT or whatever, that guy has a great style but probably not right for online cash - will give that a miss.
- PokerXfactor, donkament based and sitngoes too, some cash from what I found, not sure about this, tourneys are great but not really my thing, I mean, who wants to sit for 3 hours just to have some donkey call with ace-rag and hit the 3 outer?
- PokerPwnage - great pros but not so many vids, prob not worth looking at for another 6 months.
So that is what I found, great how blogging about it makes it clearer in your mind... looks like a no-brainer for Cardrunners. Will let you know how it goes.

Decent Sessions + Connectors Again
Had a decent little session yesterday, finishing up over $150 in just 2-hours with 3 tables of NL50 (yeah, I know I was supposed to stay at the $25, but the donks are just getting me down at that level). Suited connectors were the hand of the day with some decent pots getting shipped my way on 2 occasions when I hit with 67s and then J10s. The rest was just chipping away with aggressive moves at small pots, which can mount up to a nice win at the end of the session.
BR on Stars now $341, Tilt at $77
Thinking of either spending some of the money on the books by Dan Harrington which have good reviews, or waiting until I have enough FPPS (was at 2000ish but donked them off trying to qualify for the Sunday Million) was reading the other day about good players needing to invest in education in order to succeed. Makes sense to me as there are only so many complete donks to go around, I plan on moving up the food chain to take the cash off of the people who sort of know what they are doing (like me now really, exept I am stuck at lower limits where there are only a couple of decent players and mostly retards).
Once my 'roll reaches $1000 I might even join cardrunners, or PxF, thou probably Cardrunners as they are more cash. Back to the tables.
