April 13, 2010, 11PM: Played 5 hours, Lost $5.00 at Aspinalls
$0.10/0.20 Omaha

I deposited $31 and lost it all,
I deposited 30 then, and made it $56.
 
As a result, I lost $5 but I think I will get the rakeback more than that for the 400 hands that I played :)

Most important things in cash games

In cash games, I think the most important things are as follows in order;
 
- bankroll management
- always playing regarding the EV
- reading the tells well and bluffing
 
For the 1st to the 3rd, if you do not succeed in the previous one(s), the rest does not matter. For example, if you can perfectly read the tells but you have very bad bakroll management and you do not care about the EV, you lose in the long term.
 
For example, take Tom Dwan, he always starts a sessoin with nearly 1/15 of his entire bankroll, never more. He sometimes loses a million in a few day, but it does not matter, 14/15 of his money is still with him. Also, he usually plays regarding the EV, does not bet when he has odds for winning %45 or less. And being the third, he reads the opponents well. 
 
I have failed so much at the first one, and also at the second one. Also I very often was on tilt.

I have registered to a new poker room, Juicy Stakes poker. Also, I play on Aspinalls Poker. I have heard that on cake network, only one room allowed for rake back, I hope raketherake.com and the room accepts my rakeback deal for Juicy Stakes Poker. Otherwise, I plan to play on Aspinalls and Cake poker.

lost in cash games

Today, in 3 hours at work, I lost my $17 at AP, and my just given cake poker rakeback $140. $80 ıs gone in 15 minutes.
I learned that playing cash games at work, under the pressure of time, is not a good thing at all...
 
I subscribed to sharkscope today, I can see the fishes there and I plan to start playing my ub pokershowoff evaluation this evening.
sharkscope.com is also good for tracing and showing my own statistics.
I intend to start a new career in poker today with starting to play the evaluation touraments.

disaster

This morning, ın 90 minutes, on an AP Omaha Hi/Lo .10/.25 PL table
I have made $49, $72
Then I fell down to $17 making incredible mistakes !!!
 
I plan to play only tournaments again. If it get interrupted, i can cancel it. Because in playing cash games, everything is about the patience rather than goo play... The more you wait for a good hand, the more you win.
 
I intend to make $17, $25 again by playin only SNG touraments.

Some deposits and some cash games

Yesterday,
I deposıted to ub $25 for pokershowoff evalutaion, they wanted me to play 60 touraments. I intend to play 100.
I hope I have good statistics about ub evaluation to get sponsored.
I also deposted ap $25 yesterday, I fell down to $15 and returned back to $25 yesterday. This morning, I won $5 and also $5 bonus and I have $35 at the moment. I am playing cash games instead of tournaments because at work and at home there is a great risk for interruption.
I am expecting $140 from cake poker rakeback on 5th of June, on Friday.
 
I do not involve cash games statistics here since I play them just to keep on playing and I expect %10-15 daily from them.
