easter and a decent day to follow

Had a good easter with my family and my girlfriend.....ate a TON of food which wasn't the greatest idea for my diet, but hey im only human.....today I got up early enough for the 20rebuy - ended up taking 2nd after running a8 into 99 and losing to a runner runner flush earlier, but I did get very lucky early in the FT where my JJ > QQ......Also made something like 6-700 in sngs, bringing the total to +2k......tonight Ill try to play the 30r/100ss and obv a ton of sngs, and hopefully I can continue profiting in SNGs....Over the weekend I also took the time to buy some training videos featuring beanmo, a highly sucessful SNG grinder on FTP, that has a TON of money in the 55-200 buy ins....Overall his calls/shoves/etc were on point with my rationale but what I realized was he played somewhat tighter than I did in terms of shoving....he wouldn't push 100% in some spots, especially against bbs that were deepstacked or he was abusing previously....I almost think some of his folds there were wrong because ICM says otherwise, but hes the one making alot more than me so Im willing to follow:)

Also haven't been keeping up with profits for the year, mainly because I dropped a ridiculous amount of money in sngs.....Overall though I think im around 20k on the year which is pretty bad - hopefully I can get something big going soon

small mtt ship

won the 4500ss - had like 40 people in it so its really not a true MTT but nevertheless got 1800 for the win...sngs are still no fun - yest i had a +1k run in em - thought i was out of the cold streak but then i dumped that money back today.....been playing less 200s just till things get better again - the difference in buy ins is really annoying cause everything depends on how i run in 200s....i could kill 65s/100s, but if i run like shit in 200s i make no money...even shipping an mtt isnt a big deal if i drop 5-10 200s.....obv in the longrun it doenst matter but stringing together some consistent days would help my confidence and get me back on track.....

outside of poker me,southcjay7 and my buddy are still on the hunt for a house starting this summer.....we found a nice spot in milford beach area, but theyre too jewish to pay the 7-800/mo it would cost......hopefully we find something soon that isnt a shithole.

won the 9k sngs still not fun

luckily won the 9k tonight.....seemed to breeze through it without any issues - the guy i got HU with was pretty bad imo....sngs still been sluggish - im happy with my game in those so im not too worried about things. hopefully things turn soon enough.

Poker is definitely not an easy job

So the streak continued - while im not dropping money anymore im just staying between +500 and -1k lately....its been rough - alot of thoughts run through your head if your even +ev in these games and if you'll ever profit again.....personally i still feel im a winner in 200s - ive proven to be a decent winner in 100s, so I figure at the very least im a slight winner in the 2s....in my opinion alot of the 200 players still have a TON of leaks - alot of the "regulars" dont know ICM, call too lightly, and overshove in alot of spots......I think alot of the 200 players outside a couple regulars that I know are cash game players who dont really know the push/fold game, and tend to overcall pre and try to outplay opponents postflop when stack sizes are just too shallow to do this....in general outside the money, stack sizes are short and theres really not alot of spots to double barrel opponents when your 12-15 bbs deep.....of course theres times when the 200s are real tough with some great opponents, but overall i gotta be profitable.....time will tell

Back to work

sat night went to my girls party and had a good time - alot of good food, went out to the bars afterwards with friends, and relaxed on sunday at her house.......it's definitely nice to forget about poker and enjoy what really matters in life....as for poker im back to work today - lost a couple hundred more today but overall was satisfied with my play. Tonight im going to hit the gym then come home and play the 30r,100ss and prob 30-40 sngs.....Im also going to try some sattys into the 100k this wed - I think these sattys are such ridiculous value, and if I could go deep in the 100k once it would be a decent score.....im also 13k arps away from hitting 200,000 and getting my 3k bonus, so hopefully I hit that before I need to deposit again :)
