all over the place

so i haven't posted in a long time after trying to get back in the groove of posting. i guess for the most part i've slacked on posting because there has nothing really noteworthy to post about. i played a ton of poker between my last post and last week but didn't really have much to show for it.

on the tournament front it's been the same old story. play well, run well, get deep, bust out in the final 3 tables. i finally had an early bustout the other day when i ran KK into AA pre but other than that i'm usually making the 2nd hour of everything.

for most of the time i've been playing cash and it's been a mix of lhe 6-max, limit O8 and razz. i started picking up on razz a bit and really enjoy the game. my first session i won like 40bb's one tabling on the side. since then it's been a slow bleed and i've probably lost that back plus some. very fun game but very frustrating at times. i had one session where i was getting dealt premium after premium and then bricking 4th and 5th if i made it that far. lo8 has gotten kinda boring to me and i've also found that i get a little too impatient and end up spewing chips in spots where im beat handily. i still plan on playing some to switch things up but for now am only hopping in good full ring games. limit holdem went well and i've probably made another 60bb's or so after going stale for a bit.

last week i had a bit of a frustrating night. i don't do well playing a heavy schedule and when i've played for more than 3 or 4 days in a row i tend to need a break from the game. last week i think i had played about 5 days in a row and was in need of a night off. instead i played again trying to make something happen on the tournament front since i have been getting close. it ended up in a bit of a disaster and tilted off my tournaments after just not caring. that pisses me off when i do that so decided to take a little break. i didn't play thursday or friday, played a nice litlle 850 hand session of no-limit 6 max (more on that later) and then took sunday and monday off as well. the break has done me good and i've come away with a few realizations.

1 - i have a short attention span and find it hard to stick to one discipline (poker wise) which leads me to game hopping. in the last year i've went from mtt's ----> sng's----> nl cash ---> back to mtt's ----> plo ---> back to mtt's --->hi/lo games ----> limit holdem ----> .....

now, this might not be the worst thing in the world since i have got experience at almost all games except for stud hi. i think with the experience i will have a decent edge in most of these tournaments now since most fields for games other than holdem are quite weak. the flip side of this is im never really building bankroll, rather losing some when trying to get around the learning curve of a game i've never played before. so once again i've got the itch for nl cash. my session last week came at 50nl and instead of filling my game with laggish fps, i went at it tight and solid. i need to develope a good tag base of my game and learn the fundamentals before i can start splashing around with more advanced strategies. i think improving my nl cash game will only benefit my tourny play and will also help me build bankroll since there are always a plethora of nl games to choose from.

2 - im putting too much pressure on myself to build up a big roll. lately the frustration of getting deep and not finishing big has caused me to chase bigger tournaments in search of bigger scores. from now on im not going to worry about making enough money so i can take a shot while in vegas. if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen. i have lots of time to progress as a poker player.

so thats it, one big rant of a post and hopefully i can stay on track posting from now on. i am on the lookout for another coach for nl. i think it's well worth the investment and can really alleviate a lot of the growing pains as a player.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
