So the turning point.

A friend of mine recently started playing poker again. He plays sng and some tournaments and sattelites. We talk a lot and he said to me that i should try it out. He also said that it should be easy for me. Since he had a lot of success and i am tired of being breakeven cash player I will give it a try. 

Here are my cash results for this month. I think i will try to play some cash at the more profitable evenings.

Frozen up

So my poker is'nt going pretty well. All month is a rollercoaster. I'm still tilting money away.

Monthly graph:

I'm up a little more since pt4 don't like RIT hands

Since i don't have anything interesting to say about poker , here are some photos of winter in Lithuania.

This lady is crazy, she walked over frozen river and planted pieces of branches.  I guess she was marking the way as when she went all over to the other side she came back from were she appeared.

Variance

Would have been so nice to take down that 3 way pot. Considering that I'm recovering from a downswing causeed by tilt. But that's just variance. I guess it's more disguisting when it comes up on mtt's.

So...

Yesterday I was playing daily dollar rebuy on full tilt. It was about 5 hours in the tournament. I was ITM. there were 60ish players. I was holding a pretty good about average stack , when this happens.




There seems to be some problem with the board. It ran 2hJdJs2c5s .I guess there was no need to shove over the river, but there were only 2 combinations that beat me. 22 and J5 . Few hands later i busted out for a small cash. It's really dissapointing as i managed to get 2nd place on this tournament a month ago.

Anyways , that's variance.

Good luck to all

The good and the bad

Just gonna post two hands from today, which shows what i feel.
 Hand 1: Seems to me that nowadays it's easier to get stack from a reg than a fish
 Hand 2: was closing the session, was happy it was in the green. Well in the final it's not green. All because of this. This is my biggest problem. Monkey tilt/ stupid illogical decisions.
He showed AKs

Gonna do something better with my time. Study for upcoming exam, as poker is really not my thing right now :)

Good luck everyone
