First Winning Day in a Week (Barely!) [1,913 Hands]

Posted by icemonkey9 on Nov 10, 2008 in General | 0 comments

I got in a mammoth amount of hands in today. I picked up a 24" monitor and I am able to 9 table very nicely using this beast. After playing poker and video games on it, I am convinced it's a great monitor but I do not feel like I am getting $300 in value over my old 22" monitor that ran at a lower resolution. It might end up getting returned, I will see how I feel about it on Friday.

Anyways today's sessions were up and down ... in order: Up, Down, Up, Down, Up. All in all I ended up today +1 buyin for 50nl, which is no big deal but the good news is that this day signified the end of my all time biggest losing streak which is huge news around these parts! It felt good to win but man it felt horrible to lose. Obviously I am overly sensitive to volatility these days so once I got myself back above the win mark in my last session, I quit. I knew I just couldn't take any more "up down up down" without throwing up.

So the good news is that I won today. The good news is that I've finally gotten over 5k hands this month and need to have a HUGE week to meet my goal and keep goldstar status. I feel like I am playing a decent game, and I just have to keep a level head and plow through it.

Here are some of today's "Highlights and Lowlights!"
