I didn't use software i just looked up my stats on sharkscope. It is free to do 5 searches a day.For the site i use it only covers SNG's but it varies for other sites. It is quite adictive to keep looking though.

As i sat down at the pc to start pokering i was feling good. i was on a week long winning streak, had made £800 and was ready to add to my bankroll. I had a full cup of nescafe and was going to bring my "A game" to the table. But then a sense of dread came over me as i remembered what day it was- it was Thursday!
What difference does the day of the week make i hear you ask. Most people would say that the day makes no difference, but what do they know. I already knew what would be happening today. But this thursday was going to be different. This thursday would not be like the other thursdays.Why would it be different? Because this thursday i knew it was "thursday"
My plan for the day was to play very tight. No bluffing to be done. Play the cards i got dealt. Maximise the profits from the sets i got dealt.Astound the opposition when i reveal a straight that i got on the flop and to play my AA perfectly.
What a day i had. It all fell into place like "oceans 11". I maximised my sets and my flopped straights and flushes, actually i didn' get dealt any of them all day. But i did play my AA's perfectly.The first time i got it everyone folded to my pre flop raise. Oh but the 2nd time it was a thing of beauty. It was in a heads up situation at the end of the tournament. I had 70% of the chips and on a Q high flop i got him to go all in with Q 4. My plan had worked. I would even have won that tournament if another Q hadn't come on the turn. In all i played 13 $50 sit and go tournaments and made the money in 8 of them. Over the last week my heads up winning record was close to 75%. But not today. As it was thursday my winning % was 0. 2nd place in all 8 of them. Still that did give me a profit of £3 which is always nice.
Then the poker god of doom went for a tea break and at 5.30pm i finally won my first SNG of the day and i was able to stop playing and bank an £80 profit on the day. It had been such a long hard day but to me it had felt like i had got a bracelet from the WSOP because today had been thursday.
If the graph below has come out you will be able to see why i was so aware of it being thursday. I do not know why it is so as i only found the graph a couple of weeks ago after a really bad thursday. Last week and even today i got a huge number of bad beats and long periods of being card dead. What will happen next thursday? You will have to wait and see.
p.s if the graph isn't here then i will be working on getting it in and any advice would be appreciated.

Just watched the first of the films that were recommended- the first daughter( not the presidents daughter) and really enjoyed it. Got " Inside Man" for tomorrow night. Thanks for all the recommendations.

My girlfriend is a member of a DVD club but is appalling at choosing good films- this has just culminated in the ridiculous " Children of men" being watched in about 25 mins in fast speed. I would like some recommendations for films to get sent. preferably not action films but ones with a good story, or good comedy ones.
