Weekly Update: 11/12/07

Still doing awful at the moment. Running at 20/15/2.54 over 4.5k hands and am down 5 buy-ins which is a bit of diaster. It's been a mix of poor play, bad beats and just the general poker happenings.

I definitly think i am playing too many hands. I need to cut down on my VPIP i dont my style suits those kind of stats. Mentally i have the game of a 7/5/1 nit but i would prefer to kill myself then go down that road. I tilt very easily and find people raise me etc I think they are just playing back at me so start to spew chips off to them as i stack with very marginal hands. This is definitly the main factor as too why i have done so poorly lately.

I have recently starred getting in multi-tables STT's too try and get used too tournament play so have been playing a few 180 man and 45 man turbo games on stars. Won my first 45 man on stars a on Monday which was sweet, ship the $42!!! Holla!! etc etc.

I also ordered Harrington on Holdem VOL I and II, and SLanksy Theory of Poker wich i cant wait too get so i can read them over the Christmas on my holidays.

Anyway, here's a few hands from the last few days.
