Year is half over.....

Well my live downswing continued but I realized that I was running bad and playing bad also. Horrible combination. Wasn't playing with my normal patience. Fortunately... or unfortunately I decided to take a small break from live play after I was down to the last 10% of profit I still had. LOL

I continued to play online but up until this week I had a horrid 3 week slide. My play online wasn't that bad but was running incredibly bad. I was making the right calls at the right times on overly aggressive players and they were hitting their 3 outters. Such is poker..... and for once I wasn't going horse screaming at the computer screen. LOL I know, I know... hard to imagine me screaming expletives at a computer right? LOL

Well last week was my turn around for live play. But I switched from playing ring games to tournies. I feel I am playing well even when I don't cash so Iam happy with the turn around in my game. I have cashed in 2 out of 5 tournies in the past two weeks and hope to continue to build on that. Also trying my hand at non-holdem tournies which is a nice change of pace.

And this week, I managed to get the monkey off my back online with two back to back positive sessions. I almost forgot what that felt like in the past three weeks. Making deeper runs in micro buyin MTTs. When I finally get the money it can be a bit of a let down because a $1 MTT with 250 players in it just doesn't pay alot unless you get first..... but I settled for 5th and was happy making another ft.
