Month: December 2024

I self-sabotaged. I got into this weird headspace as my bankroll started to fall. It’s the danger zone—this desperate feeling that starts to well inside you as your bankroll begins to bleed. Then hemorrhage. I knew I needed to stop, but when? How far do I chase? As my bankroll approached fifty dollars, I saw Read More …

  So I didn’t fare too well today. None of the freebies panned out, and I lost some of my bankroll playing T$ tournaments and micro cash. I’m calling it quits for today. I find it amazing how time is easily eaten up when I put a lot of energy into focusing more. Hopefully, tomorrow Read More …

I’m glad I fessed up. We’re all human, and we all make mistakes. It’s empowering to own them and take responsibility for them. By voicing them and making them public, they begin to help repair the damage, much like air congeals blood to help heal a wound. I feel somewhat relieved and committed to getting Read More …

  So today was a plus/minus kind of day. I didn’t fare well with any freebies, mostly because I had a lot going on and my head wasn’t into the game. Thankfully I was freerolling. I didn’t like the hit my bankroll took the other day so I decided to play a little cash game. Read More …

  I turned my C1.84 into $6.00 and got knocked out of both 25¢ Mystery Battle Royales. I wanted another shot so I took a dollar from my winnings for a $1 Mystery Battle Royale. Not a winner. I busted out the Daily Hyper with a seven-deuce shove. Sometimes I do things for shitzngiggles, like Read More …

Yesterday was a pleasant surprise. I cashed in a tournament, took part of my winnings ($6.97), and almost tripled it up. I cashed out with a nice bump to my bankroll. Today’s action: #ThanksHoldemPlayer (1500 Chips) Mystery Battle Royale (2x.25) C$1.84 into a cash game Daily Hyper $1.00  

  So that’s it for my little experiment. Admittedly it wasn’t very scientific. However, on the plus side, it kept me critically aware of my bankroll as I went along. Gratefully, I ended up with $30.50 in the black. Moving forward, with the daily giveaways, there’s enough to keep me going over the holidays, and Read More …

So, last night, before hitting the hay, I played a few “spin and gold” three-handed. I managed to add a few dollars to my bankroll. It was just after midnight, so I checked to see what freebies were in my account. I was happy to see a dollar and a half worth of tickets, 15,000 Read More …

So apparently, I’m still in kindergarten. And I’m misbehaving. I got kicked out of class with an AQO in my pocket, but I snuck back in with my lunch money in my back pocket. Unfortunately, some bully stole that from me, too. To make matters worse, I got into a Battle Royale at recess and Read More …

So I feel pretty lucky. The negative cloud of “feduptitude” has passed and I feel like playing today. I ended up playing two 2.50 tournaments and picked up 4.00 in bounties. So it cost me a dollar to play today but I’m still considering the buy-ins as coming out of my poker college fund, so, Read More …
