Over the past 3 days I have been haunted by horrific calls on my part. This has mostly been top pair high kicker situations where I have even stated what the guys had mulitple times and just cant seem to lay down the hand. I have even had trouble laying down mid pair at times lately. This is pretty horrific on my part and I believe is directly related to me becoming bored with poker relatively quickly. I have only been playing under 10 games lately with the exception of a 30 game day last week (3.5k profit). This is a on-going problem ive had for multiple weeks I get bored with the game and only play 1-4 hours. I have been trying to find a solution possible by playin other forms of poker or even taking a break from poker all together. Im sure ill struggle throughout with my vegas trip coming up in a week ill get a much needed break.
Recently results have been solid i think im up around 10-12k this month whcih is solid. I am eager to play the 200 guarantee wsop package tourney this weekend and maybe take down another wsop package.

Decisions
Well, after several months of playin poker I have finally decided to reward myself with a car. I found the perfect car but, not really sure if i want it now or in 3 weeks when im back from vegas. The car is a Lexus SI 2006 all the perks black on black. This will be my first real big use of poker winnings.
On the poker side of things I took yesterday off for the most part. I did end up going to the casino to try and get comfortable at a live table but, that didn't work. I found myself getting pissed at a older mexican guy who wouldnt quit whinning about bad beats this was a limit holdem game. I then felt it necessary to play practically every pot he was in with ATC's just cause i wanted to bust him and sure enough i get 27 and take down a 400 buck pot vs him. He starts yelling at me calling me a donkey blah blah blah. Security has to come and settle things down but, still the guy wouldnt stop talking shit so I then decided to challenge him to a 500-2k hu match but, he sadly declined. Live play was very boring and unfun but, I think I gained a little comfort at the tables. I am planning on playing another live session but, a more serious nl cash game hopefully before I leave for the WOSP.
Online I have been doing very well lately with the exception of yesterday I broke even only played around 10 games early in morning. This week I am up 5k already so I am happy with the week so far. I have decided to raise my volume some and hope to have a great weekend. My goal for the weekend is 5k which is realistic but, difficult.
Recently, I have been looking at my game for leaks and have found two critical leaks the first being bluffing agianst donkies. This has been a large problem for me I play mainly by instincts and lately I cant stop getting called over and over by mid pair vs a donkey. This is a huge critical error on my part not knowing my opponent well enough to know if he will fold or not. I have decided to work on this the most over the next couple of weeks. Another leak i have found is my end game constantly over the past 3 months I have lost soooooo many games when i get my opponent under 300 chips. I am going to try and be more patient and wait for decent oppurtunities reather then run 710 into JJ, QQ,KK to double them up.

Schools Out
Quality weak schools out, reached over 100k on sharkscope, and working out regularly now. Lately, I have been looking to make a lot of healthy strives in my life (eating right, not smoking as much, and working out) hopefully these will all help me excel more at poker. Since school has let out im up 3k in two days which is pretty solid considering ive only played 20ish games.
Tomorrow im gonna play my 2nd live tourney ever. It is a live 165 tourney that I have played before I got 6th for 600 bucks but, this time im gonna get first. I am gonna get hyper aggresive thorughout the whole tourney hoping not to run into any high premium hands. This will also let me prep for the wsop.
I am also working on switching up my sleeping patterns to a much later approach since school is out and action in the morning blow. I am trying to get it so I am sleeping from 4-5am to 1-2. This will definitely benefit my profits because I will have more action during the day. I am going to work on poker soley throughout the summer and try and pull in some nice results in mtts and satelites as well as live action.
