Unreal Day

Yesterday I had the day off of work and I played a decent amount of sessions, although I was limited to one monitor. So i tried $38-9 sng's instead of $27-9 because of limited monitor space. I did pretty well in them, which is now why I think I am going to stay at the $38 range until I either feel I'm losing too much or I've won too much.

Good Day

I played either four or five sessions today, and did well. I played a session before my lunch shift at 11:30am and lost $150. After work I came back though and recked... then I played one more session and only got two second places, for a negative $81. I also ran another three miles today, which is four days in a row and I haven't cheated yet... And I told one of my managers today that I am putting in my two weeks notice because I can't stand Cheddars anymore, and poker is doing well so far. Today I somehow made $7 off of three tables in two hours, the hosts are horrible at seating to start... so fuck it.

Fixed Yesterday

Today I played well, but varied a lot in luck. I started off slow and then got up $300 for the day but ended up my last session with a single second place...pretty shitty.

Very short

Today I only played three sessions, which were pretty bad. I worked 6 hours and made $55 in tips WOOOO! Tomorrow I am off work so hopefully I'll make a killing..

Back for good?

Since my last "actual" post I've been working at Cheddars as a server... for about $12/hr. It's the best job I've ever had, but it is still a job nonetheless. I put $432 into poker Sunday night and over the span of Monday I was up a nice amount. More than I would have made at Cheddars in a 40 hr. week. I am trying to prepare my mind for my 9-day Las Vegas trip on June 23rd, and so far I think I'm making a lot of progress. I'm also trying to run as many miles as possible before I get to Vegas, and if poker continues to go well I can then try and work as little hours as possible to keep my job, because I know well enough by NOW that luck isn't always your friend... But if there are any readers out there, ha... I'll be posting every day I play at the least. I'll keep my badbeats out, but I will keep the bad beat of the day.
