Oh well, I am going to take the rest of the day off and go to bed early.

I am just not feeling all to well right now, and I don’t want to feel even worse tomorrow if I don’t get enough sleep.  I hate Mondays.

I ran uber hot at the beginning winning about 400 in the first 5 minutes or so.  Then it was back to the same ole stuff.

I gradually bled away my early lead as half the table left and I was left HU.

I ran below average I would say.  My opponent, who is really aggressive was getting more than his share of 2 pair hands and I ended up losing slightly over a pretty up and down HU match.  I was up more than he was up at any time in the match, but of course……my opponent got up when he had the lead.

So after all was said and done, I won $90…….but I am pretty upset that I didn’t win more.

I won $360.50 last night playing nothing but 5 card draw HU SNGs and cash games, but again the cards have just been brutal!!!!!

I am looking forward to another rush of cards.

Total to date is at 10,336.63

Not only do I feel hungover today, I also feel like I let myself down.  I should not have let myself play poker last night.  I was in no condition to play.  Pretty dissappointed in myself.

But lesson learned.  I did have a great time last night though as I saw some friends that I haven’t seen in a while.  It really brought back memories of the college days.  It almost felt like I was in college all over again. 

The celebration is over, for a short while at least; as I have a wedding to go to tomorrow.  I am hoping to put in a few good sessions tonight, sometime tomorrow, and Monday.  Make up for my stupidity of last night and get back on track.

Will post later, hopefully with some good news.

I sit and look at my hourly rate in 5 card draw and think about how easy it will be to reach specific goals.  The only problem is the games are sparse.  So I can go a few days without anyone sitting down to play against me.  It is forcing me to do something, what I am not 100 percent sure of yet. 

I have mentioned that I want to add a new game to my arsenal.  The one game that might be something I get more into are these 5cd draw HU NL sit-n-gos.  I have played about 80  at this point in time and have averaged winning 2 out of every 3 that I play.  That is actually really good, but I feel I can do better.  I mean I am already winning 2 of 3, and still haven’t really perfected a strategy.  In these 80 sng’s I am not shying away from playing the better players either.  I am taking on all comers.  So it is not like I am only winning 66% of the time against a random fish who decided to try his luck in a new game.  I will admit though, I have run better than not in these sng’s thus far. 

If I am going to meet my yearly goal I need to sit back and look at the big picture.  It is really creeping up on “gotta do something now” territory.  This thought is just sitting in the back of my mind as I plug away at trying to win a seat to the WSOP.

The plan is for the next month to continue to try and win a WSOP seat or two which admittedly is taking away from my advancement in other games.  But if I win a few WSOP seats, it will all be worth it.  Then once July comes, this will be the half way point in the year.  I plan on MAKING myself play, and play a ton. 

I am thinking about creating a challenge kind of thing.  Something where I will log all my sessions here on this blog for all to see, and to show that winning a certain amount of money over a 6 month period can be done playing mostly 5 card draw.  If I hope to reach my goals on the year, I may just need that extra motivation.

Check back later to see where we go with this.

Also…..you might see a few changes to the site in the next coming days.
