Playing 2-4 all day is a grind!

Everything you do is good in moderation. That statement is very true when it comes to poker. Playing 50-60 hours of live poker a week and about 20 hours a week on the internet can really drain a person. However, if this is the path a person chooses, then this is the grunt work that needs to be done! This message is my reminder!



Today was a real grind. From the first hour of play I was down $70. All through the day, right when I would start to make a comeback, I would get a big bad beat or two. I could never get over the hump. However, I stayed positive and played my game! Finally in my last hour and half of play, I went on a little rush that went uninterrupted and I recovered what I was down plus cashed out $87 ahead! Add the $12 of free slot play and $5 in casino points, I make $104 for the day.

$20 Stake - 10 $2.25 9 player SNG's and 1 $3.30 KO MTT 90 players - 50/50 backers cut

I decided to reward my horse that was profitable and offer him the same stake as before but give him 50/50 of the profits. He played them all in one day and held his own, but a few unlucky breaks only had him up $1.20 when the stake was over. I gained $.60 from the deal.

I played a few rounds getting stuck with trips and getting raised for the pot. I let the hand go, and lost $3. I ended up cashing out soon later with $11.95 losing $2.05.

I am very tired and will call it an early night!
