Grinding For Dough - A Loafers Litany.

[booder]

Server restart yesterday , so i spent a couple of hours going over hand historys. Stars still wasn't working at 1pm so i spent the afternoon watching a couple of films.After hearing of the disconnection problems that affected others , it seems i made the right choice.

Today 120 games  - $90     Ran real bad at crucial times.

Spending Friday and Saturday at the Nakor residence so will be putting in a couple of large sessions. No alcohol as he is on the wagon so hoping for some positive results.

The biggest thing you have to learn about 45 mans on stars is Frutilupes always has it and if he doesn't he will get there.

So the weekend was spent at chez Nakor. As always mine host was very generous and the food and company was first class.

The poker , not so much so. I have played an awful lot of poker there , be it MTTs , SnGos , or cash and i dont think i have had a winning session , ever. Adam made some deep runs notably in two $11 rebuys but then proceded to blind/donk away when a big score was in sight.Im sure he will cash very big soon .

Friday   165 games   - $117
Saturday  170 games  -$136

Been quite busy today , helping my Dad with a few jobs and taking my Mum up to Tescos for the weekly shop so just played a mini session.

50 games  +$88

Having a session shortly with Raymondo then gonna watch True Grit whilst enjoying a curry.

[booder]

Had a good session with Ray,he can notice the difference in my play and i am making very few mistakes so obv i am happy with that.

Watched True Grit , thoroughly enjoyed it. Jeff Bridges was superb as the hard drinking Rooster Cogburn but the star of the movie was Hailee Steinfeld. A tremendous performance from one so young and a bright future surely awaits.

Now poker...was going ok yesterday but mid afternoon a lot of players had connection problems (not me ! ) and the games stopped registering so i just finished the batch i was playing and left it at that.
75 games played  -$4      lost 2 $11 games whilst heads up  AK V A4 , KK V A3

160 Games played today   -$331   Had no problems reaching final tables but the majority were minor cashes which is very disappointing.Never seemed to hit a flop on the occasions i was behind so hopefully tomorrow will see the doomswitch turned off.

Reached 10k  vpps today so they are mounting up nicely.

All the disco problems is the reason I've not been grinding 

Run better.

Catchup time.....

Thursday   135 games  +$30
Friday        120             -$36
Monday     150             +$2

Seems to me from viewing Sharkscope , that a lot of regs are on losing/break even runs at the minute. Have been studying hand historys so i'm confident that i'm making the correct plays, i guess it is just down to the fact that there are a lot more regs now than there has ever been (not all of them are good). Just gonna keep plugging away and take advantage of any edge that i can find.
