Decimated my account.
by dobieatwar on 08/24/09
I decimated my poker account the last 2 days.$2000 downswing.
~$600 heads-up NL($1)
~$500 PLO
~$400 6-max NL($6)
~$500 in various NL
After several withdrawals earlier this month I don't even have enough to 24-table NL($1).
Bad luck, bad beats, and bad play.
Not in the mood for poker anymore.

Cleared $2000 milestone
by dobieatwar on 08/15/09
I cleared the $2000 milestone bonus (free $1200). It felt good. The journey was not as pleasant, being down $600 in allin EV is not fun.
I played 32k hands in 2.5 days to do this. Now I will take a break.
Here are some pictures below. I must comment that I should stop playing NL($1)(6-max). I lost $900 in that level last month and another $900 this month. I can't beat that level for some reason.

Bad start - August.

I played 27k hands the last 2 days and I am $600 below allin EV. That translates into losing 30 coin flips in a row when short stacking NL($1)(6-max). I have to say this seems like BS.
I am down $700 for the last 2 days, and I am trying to and getting close to getting my $2000 milestone bonus. I will probably play another 6k hands today to try and clear the bonus, then I will take some days off or play micros.

Decent July Results.
by dobieatwar on 08/04/09
After complaining about running bad for ~3 weeks straight, I actually ended up with decent results in my largest volume month ever.
I played ~169,000 hands (162k NLHE, 4k micros, 1k S&G, 1k MTT, 1k non HE) and netted ~$5,000 after including everything.
I also got a new computer this month and am using PokerTracker 3 instead of PokerTracker 2 + Realtime HUD. I am still having issues with timeout cascades when playing 24 fast tables (I was glad I was playing micros when I timed out with the nuts in a pot I would have tripled up when I already put most of my stack in ... $15 oh well). I would appreciate any suggestions about this and/or AHK scripts to help with this.
Lots is going through my mind these days about life changes as I think about (1) quitting my job, (2) getting another house and living part of the year in Vegas (not really for poker, but for managing rental properties and there is no state tax), (3) the problems with my rental property eviction, etc.
