Yeah i really sux at poker right now as far a 6 max goes. I have really been doing the best i can with my work schedule; But right now everything is really fucked up. Im working 12hr days with little or no time off; And also trying to play and work on my game while being tired as hell. It's a real shitty combo and it's really been showing. It's been 3 months now and even the fact that i need a new set-up is starting to get the best of me. Obv i know things are going to get better; But i honestly need to get with a study group or something.

Well here i am fresh off my 12 hour shift at work. I have decided that in the past when i play poker for over 12 hours i really play like shit. With that being said i limit my session to a 3 buy-in rule when playing after work. So if i drop three in a row or if i am in negative profit; I will just call it a night. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do to control winning and losing sessions.

Ok so i had a killer session yesterday! It's really crazy how a little work away from the table can actually improve your game instantly. Playing poker is really relaxing for me, as well as gratifying as well. You really only get out what you are willing to put in. Yesterday made me think about all the time i played on poker stars. I used to play a shitload of the $5 sng's and i could never beat them.

So i woke up yesterday morning and was on my way to work;Not knowing that i had misread the work assignments and was off till Tuesday. Well anyway i returned home still upset about the previous day of playing poker. I fired up the laptop and did a little surfing on P5's and Poker pro labs. After looking at my results from my last session, i decided to open Holdem Manager and review a few sng's i played the day before.

So i had all good intentions yesterday before starting a session that last 18hrs. You see i didn't play any mtt's yesterday and i had work the next; So i wanted to take full advantage of the situation. Then of course it happend, "I WENT ON A 20+ BUY-IN" downswing. If it could go wrong it did, as well as making me doubt myself and my skill set!

Well here we go again and it's the first month of the year of 2012. I am happy to say that i am now once again employed; After being out of work for almost two years. I work as a Cdl operator at Exxon Mobile Oil refinery in Chalmette,LA. Its about 1 mile or two outside of New Orleans,LA ad i am truly grateful to be working once again.

Ok so it's been two days since i have made a post on my blog. Well first of all i had a real shitty day at the tables; But not because i was playing horrible,i was just working a new things. You see when ever i try new things, i have to find a balance in my game.Therefore i bubbled,busted,tilted cuzzed raised hell you name it.

"Yaaaaaaaaaawn" so today is super Sunday,and it's 8am! I just fired up two sng's for the $5 level and hopefully i run well this morning. Notice how i said this morning LOL and not the entire day. This is because i have noticed that i don't play as well in the morning as i do a night. I know that it's just a mental game that i am playing with myself; So today i will attempt to get this monkey off my back entirely.

Well first of all as you remember i ran like God on Wednesday! So the very next morning i managed to drop my first 6 or 7 sng's in a row. You have no idea what this did to my confidence; "But since being in this spot is nothing new to me,I handled it pretty well. As the day went on i managed to break even and finished the day at +9 for buy-ins.
