ROAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!

Why the hell is it that I can't keep a good connection to PokerStars at the end of the month? The same shit happened last month and it's tilting the hell out of me. Where the hell did those kittens go? I need to choke something.

I can never tell if I disconnect because Stars is being stupid or my internet is being stupid. Both happen occasionally and they are both annoying as hell. Swongy session today, oh well it's profit! I'm getting close to Gold Star and I think I'm pretty close to a $1000 month including using my FPPs in satellites and some other random tournaments. :)

Argh..

Just can't seem to stay focused again..

I've turned a couple of great sessions into "just ok" sessions (still positive at least) this week cause of some idiotic calls (I *knew* they were bad ideas and I honestly dunno why I called them) happens when i start losing focus..i also start playing more passively.

really gotta stop...any ideas?


On a more positive note..having a very good month overall... after i clear the bonus i'm working on I could end up with a $1k month (never done that before)..also on pace for platinum star (yay for reduced reqs)

so yeah..i'm really complaining about this cause i should be up another $200 or $300 than I am lol...

omg why don't they value bet?????? I'm looking to apply the zachvac theorem of poker which states that when players who are not that good value bet a river and you C/R them they will call. But maybe the reason that is is just they never value bet anything but the nuts. When all the draws miss I'm going to call super-light so he should be value betting pretty thin here, TP no doubt, but of course I try to balance this play by also occasionally checking a monster through to allow me to check-jam but I forgot that balancing against fish is pointless. I just need to keep calling very wide (because if he doesn't vbet A8 his range is obviously super-polarized when he bets) and just betting my monsters I guess and forget about balancing against fish because they don't think about what I'll call with, they just see their own hand and that it's kinda marginal I guess.

Also just noticed this but how the hell does he check turn?

Doubt I've ever played 10k cash hands in a month, so I decided this week to start putting in 1k+ cash hands a day and move up the limits.
Shipping dsvw .10 to return my mojo.

I like how, since the update, my graph is showing different results than my general tab when i put in a 'between dates' filter :mad: If i take away the dates filter it shows the same amount as the general tab, No more weekly graphs for my blog then, just a totals for the limit graph now as thats the only one thats accurate :mad:
