February rolling along.....

Well unfortunately haven't been playing much in the way of ring games since my bad weekend. I think I have played twice and managed small wins. They were wins, but trust me very small. Only won back maybe 10% of what I lost that one weekend. Haven't really had the opportunity or maybe I should say drive to play ring games since then. Once I get home I relax and don't feel like going back out.

I have played in some tournaments. One of them I just had a good time playing, played crazy bad... but still had fun. :) Nice to just cut loose a little bit like that. Didn't play wacko just looser than normal chasing flushes and inside str8s! Was also helping to run the tournament so wasn't bothered by much.

Played in one of the best live tournaments I have ever had the chance to play in. The structure of the tournament was great. The players were probably the toughest field as a whole I have ever played against. Very few players at this tournament could have been considered dead money. Made it to 15th out of 60. Met a lot of really good guys and gals and good players. Check out http://www.badbeatspoker.net/ for future tournies. Have to be a member of the forum though.

Also did pretty well in my monthly $100 buy in tournament. But I bubbled final table in 10th place. Was still pretty happy with my play. Maybe misplayed two hands the whole night.

Online has been a back and forth thing. Still hovering in the same place for the most part but finding success in many MTTs. What is keeping me in somewhat neutral is I started playing $10 and $20 SNGs and that eats up alot of the profits I am pulling out of the MTTs.

I think I need to start trying to play cash games online but I fear I could take a major swing down like I did last time when I had a pretty good sum on UB and tried playing limit ring games. Wiped most of the $800 out in like 3 weeks. Just couldn't get any traction. I think I will try to stick to MTTs and stop playing the $10 and $20 SNGs. That should help the online roll a bit.
