Well, I played the HPC $1 Omaha game at Absolute Poker. I was not planning to play anything else all day. Then I remembered that I had to get 1 FTP at Full Tilt Poker to stay on pace for the Take 2 promotion.
I just could not seem to get that damn point. I kept opening 2 tables and playing but the web page did not display any points. It was only after I had played four sets of two tables that i realized that the website was over 1hr behind on updating. Doh!
So on a day I was avoiding poker I played about 8 ring games, albeit shortly on all of them. Daily total +$16.00 thanks to the ring games.
Back at it today, hoping to not suck
Yesterday was productive. I accomplished exactly what I set out to do. I needed a nice positive day but not too much play since the weekend would be a lot of poker. A nice little confidence builder without overplay burnout. And that is exactly what I got.
Five tournaments and 4 ring games. The ring games were me just getting My points for the Full Tilt Poker Take 2 promotion, so the $4 profit all together was just fine for them. Modest gains in tournaments. I cashed in only two of the five, both of those were private games. My daily total was +$27.21.
So, modest gain, won 1 of the tournaments for the confidence boost. Now if I can just hit for 4 figures like the last two weekends
I played some yesterday though I barely remember the games. I wound up +$7.70 after 2 ring games and about 6 tournaments. I think I cashed only one tournament but my risk level was so low that I still wound up positive for the day.
Again I find myself sliding into lower stakes when I had told myself that i needed to increase my risk some. The big Sunday cash was great but the vacation has to end and I need to move forward.
I have been doing pretty good at Full Tilt Poker ring games late at night. I am only playing 10ct/25ct blinds since my roll there is small, but I usually come out ahead. I plan to continue there and hopefully increse my roll enough to move up in stakes soon.
I should put in an appearance in some higher risk tournaments today. more on that tomorrow
