Phobias.... and bankrolls

Still not playing a whole heckuva lot but when I have played I have won small amounts. Just happy to be consistent and not losing at the time. I need to improve my play though because by only winning small amounts it won't take but one or two losing sessions to wipe out six winning sessions or more.

Started to play a little 1/2 and 1/3 NL. I have been itching to get into the games but having developed the phobia that I have in the recent months of losing anything, I have been steering clear of those games. Problem is the games here in Ohio are so loose there is tons of money to be made at the tables. But at the same time that looseness is what scares the hell out of me. I don't have much of a "hitter" and people frequently hit out on me.

Guess if I am to improve my game I have to play in those games. And hopefully along the way build a decent bankroll. I think that is the key to my new phobia....... no bankroll beyond one or two sessions of play. Really sucks.

Something new

I wanted to try and post this link because this is one of the best blogs I read.
Anyone reading it that enjoys poker but also the many aspects of life around it and life in general will thoroughly enjoy this.
Lets hope I paste this link correctly.

Ok, so I wasn't able to figure out how to put it in this actual post but I was able to get it up to the
right of the posts.

And currently Pauly is doing great daily blogging from the WSOP. Check it out.

He also puts on a great tourney on Saturdays. PLO @ 4:20 EST on Pokerstars.

New Month ....... New Post

Well still playing tons of freerolls and low low buy in SNGs and MTTs.

I am a member of a website that has freerolls on UB and Walker poker. The freerolls are $300 and $500 respectively. The fields are small (300+ - relatively small for the $ amount) and very weak. I have played in 4 of them and made the final table twice and top 20 players one other time. I managed to get lucky and get $45 on Walker poker through these freerolls. The site is ok... definitely a different look. Traffic on it seems to be picking up. I have only played a few micro ring games on it and I have not done very well but that is due to my very poor play and chasing. LOL If anyone ( if there is anyone that reads this blog.... LOL) wants info on the site that offers these freerolls I can invite you to be a member.

Been playing live limit lately. Not alot but have been winning small sums. Mainly hitting and running... though that isn't what I want to do. Just don't have alot of time to sit at the tables. Only play anywhere from 1-2 hours and then go. Mainly playing up in the Cleveland area which is one of the reasons for the limit on time.

I did finally manage to play in a blogger tournament. It was Dr. Pauly's on Saturdays. It is PLO and there were 28 players. I managed to lucksack my way to a win!!! Only the second, maybe 3rd blogger tourney I have ever played and probably first PLO one. Was pretty happy with the win to say the least. Hopefully I will be able to play in more of the blogger tournies.... just depends on my bankroll (lack thereof) and schedule.
