July 28, 2010, 6PM: Played 1 hour, 11 minutes, Lost $59.12 at full tilt rush
$0.25 Pot-Limit Omaha
 man, this session was just brutal...took several rough beats, none worse than this one...I have AA34 on button, it's raised after a limp I just call, limper repots to 5 something, original raiser calls and I decide to just call here (I find that when 2 players get all in with AA the third player almost always wins). The flop is right to my face, 2 4 5 with 2 hearts which I have the nut draw in...first position repotter shoves all in, other guy folds and I can't call fast enough...he has AA28 with nut spades which there is one of on the flop...turn 4 of spades (giving me trips) and river is the 6 of spades. That had me stuck about 40, I did battle back to within about 10 of even when I took another peach, I have trash in bb A 4 10 2, nut diamonds, flop is 10 2 6 with 2 diamonds, I bet get called, turn is 2 of diamonds, I check guy bets, I have no clue where he is, river is a 3, I check he pots this time, so I am not doing anything but calling...he shows Q833 with 8 high diamonds. Anyway, I really have to admit I started calling WAY too many hands from this point on. I played very poorly, tried to bluff way too often and was paying off when I knew better. I probably could've lost more, but luckily I got a phone call I needed to take and get off. Frustrated to throw away almost all of my win from yesterday playing like a jackass, but at least I didn't sit and fight it. I should've taken a break after the AA beatdown, something I need to work on.

July 27, 2010, 9PM: Played 1 hour at White Stone
$12 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (5th out of 5 Players)
BPC Heads-Up Shoot Out 3
Man, just can't do crap in these Heads-Up Tourneys...so frustrating. Played first against Riley, and lost...i had 2 pair off the flop, and he flopped trips. Such terrible luck. Then i had to play Sell, and i just couldn't buy a hand...and could only buy super small pots. Lost on a big bluff at the end, and he had a straight (off the flop). What's a man to do? Terrible showing for me, and it looks as if Adam will win the Tourney, making it back-to-back weeks he's won...putting me further behind in the points championship.
Oh well...have to do well next tourney i guess.

July 27, 2010, 9AM: Played 4 hours, 49 minutes, Made $69.63 at full tilt rush
$0.25 Pot-Limit Omaha
decent session today, only regret is I came off some chips late in the session, was up about 110, but there are so many times I type this and I only have a small win, so while I did come off a chunk, I am happy to still have a nice victory here. Ran really well with wraps today, that's where 3 of my biggest pots came...the last one vs. AA top set A 6 4 flop, I have 3 4 5 7, turn the 3 and he actually check raises me all in when I turn the nuts. Last couple hands that hurt me I really didn't feel like I was out of line or anything, and was happy to quit instead of my typical getting annoyed and really hurting my stack. One thing I think helped me is I was forced to take some breaks due to my situation today and I believe that helped me a lot, might try to incorporate this some more.

$0.25 Pot-Limit Omaha
I can kinda feel this mood I have where I am willing to gamble, I think it happens when I am tired or annoyed or whatever. This session I could feel it from the word go, so in a way I am happy I didn't tork off a bunch of money here. I was stuck about 40, but got a nice pot late when I flop wrap vs. stubborn AA person and turn the nuts. I had another couple massive draws that got me in trouble earlier in the session, and to be honest quite a few hands I normally wouldn't have played the way I did if I was on top of my game. This is a major leak of mine and I need to just not play when I feel this mood. I must admit I wanted to quit for about 20 minutes before I finally did, so this was a dodged bullet that I need to learn from.

July 25, 2010, 10PM: Played 1 hour, 4 minutes, Made $41.60 at full tilt rush
$0.25 Pot-Limit Omaha
got off to a screaming start here, won two all ins right off the bat...one with AA vs. a super aggressive donker, I had nut flush draw and they kept potting a K 3 2 8 K board with Q Q A 4. Other one worked out sweet, I have KK double suited in bb, raised pre 4 way action...flop is K 8 8, I obviously check it, button bets half pot I call and we are heads up...J turn we both check, river 6, I bet 2.50 into about 9, he makes it 9.25 with 16 behind, so I put him in and he rolls over J 10 8 7. I was up another 15 or so, but missed one massive draw with wrap and nut flush draw, cost me about 10, but happy to be on a decent and will have a decent bankroll again now when I get my bonus and affiliate next month.

$0.25 Pot-Limit Omaha
was trying to play tight, then I get in a hand that I guess I could've not lost the max on, but wow, do they know what's coming or what? I have AQ109 in bb, folds to sb who raises, flop is 10 10 8, he pots, I raise it to 4, he comes over the top, I can't picture he has 10 8 here, I don't see folding as an option, obviously that's my problem...I go for the gold and he can't get it in quick enough with 10 9 8 3...who wouldn't raise from the sb with that? Then I was down to 20 bucks, had two different spots where I have AA and it doesn't stand up, both for about 10 bucks worth and that's that. Got a little loan coming, but pretty frustrating that I can't seem to keep any chips on here lately.

July 21, 2010, 12PM: Played 1 hour, 36 minutes, Lost $28.08 at full tilt rush
$0.25 Pot-Limit Omaha
here's a good sign it's time for a break, I was running shitty anyway to this point, never won a pot with any chips in it at all...then I wake up with AJ1010, A 10 of diamonds on the button. Flop is 10 9 8 with 9 8 of diamonds. I am checked to and take a little stab at it, get called by sb...I should've known the 7 of diamonds peeled off way too easy on the turn, guy checks, I bet small he calls, river is a brick, he insta pots it for about 8, I only have 15 left and there is just the one hand of course that beats me, which he obviously has. He rolls over the 5678, so I guess he did have me the whole way, should've let that go on the flop really.
anyway, I hit my ironman for july with about 52 left on here, am going to try and give it a break til I get my affiliate, which also took a hit when I got that ipod off my points. I might end up leaving some money on the table with my bonus, which I still have 75 to unlock right now, but I just can't seem to get a run going again here.

man, just running horrible in pots I can't really seem to let go of...one I have KK108, flop is K 10 8, so yeah, not getting a board pair, end up all in vs. the total wrap...QJ97, guy even turns a flush draw with the 2 of hearts, I plugged this in and I was 42% after flop and turn, so a really rough spot for me...other one that hurt I have AA92, not a monster, but I was WAY ahead of AQJ9, flop is Q 10 7, so I am in some rough shape anyway, but opponent is a known moron, but obviously that's true of me as well...anyway, J K runners ruin that hand for me pretty badly. I only need one more day to get my ironman for the month and I think I will take a break. I have unlocked about 200 of my 275 bonus, and with 14 days to finish in august I believe a break would be wise.
