FIRST : -3.40 out 5th on a pr of 66s
2nd out 5th 0 for 2

5 sngs 3.00 variety

ready to start poker session. I've got exactly 118.30 with 37 fpps after burning a ton trying to make it into the ps ffp millions tournament.
Im going to take 5 buyins to 3.00 9 or 10 seater sngs and try to build up my bankroll there, I'm really inspired by Ishbu to build up my bankroll so I can take my shots at the higher limits.
I've realized that in order to show a profit in online poker I need to play for volume and try to play lower variance poker.
will post later results of the session
Just signed up to blog because I came upon a really cool blog by Ishbu3116 about bankroll building> this is of incredible interest to me I love Chris Ferg's plan but always wondered if a regular type joe could accomplish this as well and Ish is very eloquent and his descriptioons are detailed and are a great read. Enough of the book report though, I would like to research further and see if he has any tips on cash games. This is one area of my game that I really want to improve on. I'm a very decent player, played 2 tournies today and didn't get as far as I would have liked but there's always tommorrow.

should have at least final tabled here: Key mistake
let my emotions got pissed at a mouthy player who sucked out on me twice was the chipleader and 2 key hands
took a race with her ak vs qq of course she holds never should have called off in a raise as I had 190k and only outchipped her by 40 k, stupid

then I managed to build 40 k back up to 161k down to 15 players, and aggro aggressive ss pushes and I call immediately with what? of course AK and chipleader calls us both down with 99. ss had qq so my hand was the worst of all 3. and Im out 14rth. Yuck

key mistake:
blinds are 800/1600 M of about 8 sb picked up K7s utg raises 3rd time in a row and K7s looks so pretty and I've gotta make a stand so I repop a/i and he calls with an even prettier KK.

Thats been my biggest mistake if anything I'm overly aggressive, no one's ever accused me of being timid.
