The fall continues into the Fall.......

Well, as the title suggest my fall online continues. I guess it is more of a slide than a fall but at times it feels like it. Through the last 3 months I have lost about 25% of my online bankroll What once was looking very promising to me.... now has placed me back into reality. LOL

Part of the slide (fall) involved trying my hand at ring games I should not have been in. At the behest of a friend who is fairly successful in online ring games I tried the $50NL games on FTP once. Once and only once. LOL Had two tables open. Told myself if he can do it I can do it. Actually I reasoned that I play live 1/2 and 1/3 NL so why not .25/.50 online. I was risking the same amount of money at two tables that I normally risk at a single live table. Didn't do too bad for a while. Just had a few too many second best hands. Including a set over set which felted me on the one table.

I have also been playing probably too many $5 and up MTTs. Including HORSE and PLO and Stud8. Usually run fairly well and then late in the tourney I will have one hand I will horribly misplay (and sometimes just get unlucky) and then the tournament is usually over for me. I will be so short stacked it doesn't matter because the blinds are so high.

I did just have a decent night last night. Managed a 5th in a NL MTT on UB and a 4th in a HORSE MTT on UB. Both were small fields but was happy making two final tables. Didn't fare so well on FTP or PS.

Live I have been running warm. Not hot, not cold.... just warm. Have had 3 recent sessions in ring games where I have broke even. Unusual to break even in any cash game but did it in 3 different close sessions. Haven't been playing enough ring games. Mainly been playing smaller tournaments with decent results. Been pretty happy with my play though I am still probably not aggressive enough.

Haven't been back to any casinos lately. Been fairly busy I guess. Hope to make it a few times in October though.
