Sunday, 3rd $55 10k, 1st $11 3k, 1st $11 1k

Started at 2:30pm and ready to kick some tale. Updates later.
Cashed in 5 of 42 MTTs and had another awesome day, got 3rd in $5 10k, 1st in $11 3k and 1st in a $11 1k all on AP. My game is really coming together. The extra work I have put into poker stove, push charts, and tough hand review along with watching videos and posting in the forums is really paying off. But I will say the excessive amount of hours I have been playing probably has a bit to do with it too. I am just hoping to keep improving and making good decisions. GL ME

Saturday, 1st $33 18k on Stars, 1st $3r 4k on AP

Saturday MTT grind here I come. I am missing a Halloween party because I am very one track minded about improving at poker right now. I am a man on a mission, please understand my friends. Started my normal schedule around 4pm, updates later.
Cashed in 5 of 32 MTTs with 2 wins and a 7th. I got 1st in $33 18k on Stars, 1st in $3r 4k on AP, and 7th in $27.50 10k on AP. It was an awesome day and I played better than I ever have. The puzzle pieces are fitting and I can see the edges. I can't wait till I start to feel like I m good at this game. Happy Halloween!

Friday

Got off to a bit if an earlier start 3pm or a little after. I plan on putting in a good days work giving maximum effort and keeping distractions to a minimum. After my session yesterday I went through some forum posts and can actually say I am getting a lot better at giving help to other players on hands and situations, I really feel as if I am getting to the point where I know what the right play is. Updates later.
Ugh, cashed in 6 of 40 with 2 FTs but not a good final result. It was a long day with a lot of solid play and just some meh results, better luck tomorrow.

Thursday

Started at 4:30pm, going to play my normal schedule while trying to improve my game. I am hoping to possibly get to save some good hands for review and go over them with a friend when done for the day. Al I want to do is keep being productive while improving and trying to reach my goals. Updates later.
Cashed in 3 of 27 MTTs with a 2nd in a $3r 4k on AP. I also played five $11 45man sngs and five $11 HU HTs but came out a little loser there but enjoyed it. Overall it was a decent day, the chat session on PxF with mscell was insightful and I kept my day distraction free and enjoyed it. I am still working on my game a lot and trying to figure out the best schedule of tournaments and the correct balance of distractions. I'll be back at it tomorrow giving 100%.

Wednesday

Grrrr, I've been sleeping in some and my sleep schedule fix has been slowed, I have been starting around 4pm or a little after instead of the 1-3 pm I prefer. I will actively start trying to fix my sleep schedule again. I plan on putting in a solid day of work  improving my game and playing some volume. Updates later.
Cashed in 5 of 24 MTTs with 1 FT in a $11 2k on AP. A decent day but overall I am not happy because my level of play was compromised by to many distractions. I am still learning a lot and improving daily but small things like knowing how many distractions to handle are a work in progress. My plan is to keep working hard, playing a lot, watching lots of videos and talking poker with my friends.

Tuesday

Got started at 4pm, which is a little late for me, I would like to be at it by 1pm or 2pm. I had an awesome end of my session last night when sah_24 helped me do a review of all the tough hands I have encountered over last three days, it was very helpful. I will be saving hands, watching videos, and trying to ship MTTs. GL ME. Updates later.
Cashed in 7 of 27 MTTs but none of the cashes were very big and ended up a little loser on the day. I made a few mistakes but I am catching them faster and able to quickly figure out the correct play. Sah_24 again offered some of his time and I appreciate the help, he is helping me a lot. I plan on doing what it takes to reach my goals and I think I am on the right track.

Monday, Cmon Cowboys!

Got started a little late today because I went to a friends and played some Tiger Woods golf and had a good time. I started playing a little after 6pm and plan on having a good night. Updates later.
Cashed in 3 out of 20 MTTs with a 7th in $55 10k on AP to barely get winner. All in all a  decent day but still know I have a lot to improve on. Off to sleep soon with hopes for a great day tomorrow.

Sunday

Up and at it by 2:30 central and feeling good. I am playing the Sunday Million today for the first time in a long while, hoping for some good results. Updates later.
I dont feel as if I have given 110% today, I have played good and tried hard but could have done better, I have made a couple mistakes and some where costly. I plan on trying to focus extra hard through the rest of my session and see if I can finish strong again. Updates later.
Ended up with 2 small cashes out of 22 MTTs and several hands to review. Sundays come with extra expectation and sometimes extra disappointment, but overall not a bad day and its nice knowing what I need to work on. GL ME

Saturday, 1st $5r 5k on AP

Got started around 3pm and feeling good. I am hoping for a winning day from me and the Sooners. Updates later,  GL ME.

I just got 11th in a $8 12k on stars and I am very disappointed, I was the chip-leader with 12 left and lost two big hands. I still got a couple good chances left so I am keeping composure and just understanding I'm not a pro, I make lots of mistakes and am trying to fix them, getting upset or down on myself for spewing a cl cant help, just learn from it and do better next time. I know one thing, I will value a chip stack like that next time, I usually do, but that is the lesson, know your field and dont race if you dont have to with a  huge stack like that, the loss discouraged me to reg in any more so I will be ending my session a lil early, but I am still in 5r on AP w cl ITM so gonna try ship this to end on a positive note. Well, I did just that, I shipped the $5r 5k on AP. I ended the night well and kept my composure together enough to pull out a victory. I am now going to spend some time reviewing all the tough hands I have saved from the last two days and make sure I take a hard look at the two hands that cost me the $8 12k. I will be playing in the Sunday Million tomorrow so wish me luck.


Friday, Back to back days FT $55 10k on AP

Got started at a decent time 3pm, but the day started off kinda slow with lots of variance. I ended up with 5 cashes out of 33 MTTs with 1 FT for 5th in $55 10k on AP. I had two good sessions with two good poker players over skype share screen and got some discussion on some hands and situations. Thanks to the Tony "Bond18"Dunst video I watched I am also saving every tough or questionable hand I play through out the day and reviewing at the end of my session, I believe this will be a big help in plugging leaks. I am hoping for another great day of poker tomorrow and that OU beats Mizzou. GL ME

Thursday

Got started a little late around 4:30 but had another good day, 6 cashes out of 29 MTTs with a 3rd in a $11 5k on AP and a 4th in a $55 10k on AP. All in all a great day with more improvements and better thought. I am going to keep putting in a lot of effort and hope to keep seeing good results.

Tuesday, got a hot date with Trishelle 8pm central

I am getting started a little after 5pm, it's not the time I wanted to start but I was up late with some phantom pains and then slept in a little. I am planning on put a big effort into regaining my focus and improving, yesterday was not fun and I didn't play well. Updates later, gl me. Cashed in 4 out of 23 MTTs to come out a small loser, but had a decent night improving my game and adding in some new processes. I believe if I keep working hard and trying to improve I will reach my goals.

Monday

I will definitely say that October has been a great month so far, running good, improving, meeting new poker friends, and fixing my schedule. With no alarm I was up between 1 and 2pm and got a nice early start even though I was up till daylight. I plan on having a great day of hard work and improving at poker while having success at the tables. Also rooting for the Titans and Vince Young to beat the Jaguars tonight. Now back to my session, updates later, gl me.


Rut roh, reality check, I can't let myself let up even a little but, every thought and process I have needs to be geared towards making the right decisions and improving. I can't let a few small scores get in my head. A measly 3 cashes out of 36 MTTs and all 3 were small. I will do better tomorrow. 

Early Monday Morning

I wasn't quite tired enough for bed so while watching a friend make two deep runs I decided to take two chances to win a seat into the Sunday Million for next sunday, luckily on my second attempt I was successful. Sunday Million here I come. GL ME
