Day 230 ... Double disaster ...

Long and the short of it is ... I played too much ... and more importantly I tried to play too much looking over my shoulder while working on the poker site. I think I'm better off concentrating on what I'm doing and not trying to squeeze in playing poker at the same time ... Think I might schedule a luch hour and just play poker then.

UltimateBet ... $14.79

$5+0.50 SnG Full ... 9th ... -$5.50
$5+0.50 SnG Full ... 6th ... -$5.50

$2 cash NL 0.02 ... $00.00 ... - $ 2.00

$1+0.10 SnG Full ... 3rd ... + $0.90

UltimateBet $ 14.79 ... - $ 12.07 ... total $ 2.72 (- $ 35.28)

First game finished 10th after first losing out with KK to 44. The next hand I make a preflop re-raise with JKs which hit ok on the flop but all went wrong when he turned over 23 off and somehow made a straight by the river - I have no idea how he called at any stage, on the flop he had 3 to the straight and needed runner runner. By the end of the session I was reduced to playing in a $1 SnG which scrapped me a 3rd place and 90 cents. That's about where my game is going to be for the moment ... big stakes or what.

Titan Poker ... $139.35

$5+0.75 SnG full ... 9th ... -$ 5.75
$5+0.75 SnG full ... 7th ... -$ 5.75

$5+0.75 SnG full ... 1st ... +$ 19.25

$5+0.75 SnG full ... 4th ... -$ 5.75
$5+0.75 SnG full ... 4th ... -$ 5.75
$5+0.75 SnG full ... 10th ... -$ 5.75
$5+0.75 SnG full ... 8th ... -$ 5.75
$5+0.75 SnG full ... 7th ... -$ 5.75

Titan Poker $ 139.35 ... - $ 21.00 ... total $ 118.35 (+ $ 2.35 )

What a complete mess - we'll back to square anyway ... I made a hash of two of them where I got impatient and came 4th instead of sitting it our for at least a place - in one I was set to get 1st but played it all like a muppet. I even ended up going all-in preflop with AK to go out first in one game - the guy did turn over junk but it was enough - and I should have known better than get keen with big slick that early on.
