As the titled suggests things haven't been easy for me. I have played badly: playing too many hands and trying to bluff too much (Greg Raymer advises amateur against these things). Taken some bad beats (KK v. 66, KK v. 94, AA v. KQ, having someone dominated a ton of times). And as a result played on Tilt. My last update my Poker Stars bankroll was at $13.10. Since then I won one heads up match and placed third in one S&G 9P. I could feel this loosing streak effecting my confidence and my play. It got soo bad that I was down to $1.90 when I decided to go for broke playing a $1 18P S&G. I wrote down every hand in a notebook (for discipline reasons), and if I won and if I lost what happened (bad flop, badly played etc.). This must have done something because I won the Sit Go. Pretty much saving my bankroll on Pokerstars. So my bankroll currently sits at $7.90....and I couldn't be happier!
I played a $1+.25 Matrix on Full Tilt. I played very well at these with play money, however the level of competition was harder and people played tighter. This is where I lost KK v. 66 when he shoved and made a straight on the river, pretty much ruining my mood for the tournament. I finished third in one of the events, putting my bankroll at $1.11 on Full Tilt. I also played a freeroll on Full Tilt finishing 61st. I really enjoy the freeroll tournaments because I seem to play a lot more disciplined because of how many people are in the tournament and how many cash. I have made a vow never to be all-in pre-flop (unless of I have AA or maybe KK) and only to be all-in post-flop with very strong holdings. There are just so many A.D.D. manics that want to play for big pots early with crappy holdings. It's tough to tell early if your opp. is one of these or a serious player. So I find it best to avoid it.
PStars Bankroll: $7.90
Full Tilt Bankroll: $1.11
