And this is running bad

My stats are pathetic now, I am embarrased to post them. Here is how I ran today if anyone cares:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281363 75/25 loss
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281368 81/19 loss
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281387 75/25 win!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281421 small pot won with AA
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281423 bet the flop?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281430 pretty standard laydown I think
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281485 standard
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281513 stdnrd laydown
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281554 55/45 loss
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281561 I got lucky Aces win against 99!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281566 80/20 loss
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281588 55/45 loss
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281598 45/55 loss
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1281604 20/80 tilt loss

Looks like I am back to playing 36R's or go play 50 NL and short stack it because I barely have 400 bucks in my pokerstars account.

I ran pretty bad about a month and a half ago, but it really doesn't compare to what I experienced tonight. It is just so fucking frustrating to constantly put yourself in good situations and lose. I made one bad play all night. The worst I got my money in before that time was 55/45. I didn't win one race all day, and lost 2 out of three 75/25's I had and both 80/20 situations I found myself in. That is a bad run of variance. I hate to move down when I am getting my money in so good, but I don't have any way of putting money on stars, so I will just have to make due with what I have right now.

My goal now is to grind back up to 800ish playing 36R's and grinding 50NL. Then take another shot at 100nl. If I keep running this way though I won't have a bankroll after tomorrow. This is brutal. When I run like this it is fucking depressing as hell.

Some good news is I am listing all the DMB tickets on eBay and they are all doing really well as far as turning a profit on them is concerned. Also, I am in a a bit of a bind of money as I have had a terrible past three months and I am getting around 1,300 for settlement on my Dad's final expences. That coupled with some profits from Dave should get me by for a bit while I get this poker shit straightened out.

I'm done bitching for the night... I am so glad this day is over

Late update

Had an up and down day, I think I ended up about break even for the day, so I can't complain after being down 4 buy-ins.

Here are some hands from this session

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277272
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277286 pretty fucking brutal
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277319
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277752 weird hand
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277837 I knew he didn’t have a straight.. but can I get away from this when it’s a 90/10 raising me? I figure he might do that with a 10J


New Stats:

11 hours... 25.46/hour

So as of right now I am happy with those stats. I am trying to shoot for 25-30 bucks an hour plus rakeback.

I think I played about 3 hands bad all day, and I don't think thats too bad considering I played 2,600 hands today.

After Dinner Session

Wow... the donks were out after dinner. I wanted to grind out around 1,000 hands, or at least play about an hour but I ran so fucking good the first three hundred hands I had to stop.

I got quads payed off twice and ran AA into KK and it held, I made just about everything that I lost in the afternoon session. Here are the key hands:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277056
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277065
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277075 yea I cant read the board
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277081
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277086 owned
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277102 lol lol lol lol lol… standard


NEW STATS:

9 hours played and 31.10/hour

Update

Had a really bad session this morning. I felt like I played well, cards just didn't fall right.

So far I have played 8.53 hours and am making 9.18 per hour. Again my goal is to make 25-30 bucks an hour. Early on there will be some major fluctuations in my $/hour because if I run bad/good one session it will make a huge difference on the $/hour.

Here are some key hands from this afternoon's session:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276040
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276054
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276066
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276079
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276133 bad call at end, but wanted to keep pot small?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276156
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276178 finally a good hand!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276196 thought I would get his action with AK, guess not!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1276243 pretty sure this is the right lay down

Going to start posting again.....

I decided to grind out some 100nl. My goal is to make 25 to 30 dollars an hour playing 100 NL. I don't want to set goals such as a certain amount of hours to play per week, I will just play when I am fresh and when I want to. Also, I will be playing so many hands a month I should be able to acheive platinum star every month, so I will be earning 2.5 fpps for every vpp, which will mean I will earn around 25,000 fpps per month at least. I will cash in for FPP bonuses at 50,000 fpp's for 650.00 about every two months. That equates to about 325.00 of rakeback per month.

I will be posting hands every night and updating total number of hours played and my win rate per hour.

So far I have played 6.62 hours and am averaging 48.18 per hour

Here are some key hands from today:
