TLO

2 hours left in day eleven
still doable even tho I'm in a mega breakeven stretch (just look in my hand history here for a very very small peek)
It makes this real interesting though because if half of my 65%+ to win hands had held up, I'd probably be close to done
I will be playing a little longer than 2 hours so gl me

screenshots/graphs




I apologize about the emo post yesterday, but I don't like to lose and outside interference imo quadruples the difficulty
but I already knew this goin in so me yesterday = emo

I aint done with this yet!

online I don't give two shits
and I very rarely take or get things personal
but I feel somewhat obligated to at least shed some light on the happenings of my prop bet and this is a blog after all so wtf..
if something of my outside life was not said, then this prop bet would never be fully understood
so here is a tiny bit of insight/update/perspective
really not going to go any more into it than this update tho



I have just come to the realization
9:51 AM
that my play
9:51 AM
has utterly deteriorated
9:52 AM
due to all the constant
9:52 AM
yelling
9:52 AM
upon yelling
9:52 AM
everyone just left the house
9:52 AM
and I played really bad, and ended up yelling
9:52 AM
and yelling
9:52 AM
my lack of focus is heavy
9:52 AM
because of all the constant
9:52 AM
....
9:52 AM
yelling
9:53 AM
I will do what I feel I have to do
9:53 AM
which is, grab a beer
9:53 AM
and knock down three
9:53 AM
to ease my mind and hopefully retain balance and focus
9:53 AM
because I just want to yell, as I have tried with words, to explain to these ppl
9:53 AM
what the fuck they are doing is just...
9:53 AM
pointless
9:53 AM
and bad
9:54 AM
for the kid
9:54 AM
sigh...
9:54 AM
I really want this prop bet, and I knew it was going to get hard when everyone came back
9:54 AM
I knew...
9:55 AM
so I will do as I said, and grab a beer, to ease my frustration
9:55 AM
since I can't lower it with just my mind, and I want this prop bet so I can not take a break
9:55 AM
as I am now behind
9:55 AM
a good bit
9:56 AM
it's all abotu focus
9:57 AM
and it's funny that I am looking to beer for focus
9:58 AM
but this house is just to intense
9:58 AM
to frustrated
9:58 AM
and I dunno how to stop it nor slow it down
9:58 AM
as I am not the man of this house, only the son
9:59 AM
I can't wait for my own place
9:59 AM
ok, beer has been gotten
9:59 AM
I am currently 5 buyins down today
9:59 AM
to actually good hands, the bad ones I did won
9:59 AM
and I had more good hands than bad
10:00 AM
here is where I stopped, and had to yell, just like the rest of the house (which they all left)

I missed it by half a second

graph


I made this prop bet mainly for the challenge.
As I told gawdawaful before the bet started, the real challenge starts when everyone comes back
I played the most amount of hands I've ever played at once - at least I call it at once
I played about 5 thousand hands, and then I took a nap for about an hour and was woken up to the chaos here so decided to go back at it for another 12 thousand hands
you can see what lack of focus or the wrong attitude/outlook can do to your game
granted there was shitloads of coolers, a list so long it really makes me shake my head
but things happen for a reason

short interview with myself

have I given up?
hell no
do I think I can still do this prop bet?
yes
am I blaming anything other than myself if I don't make it?
no, not one bit

so that being said it's time to go back at it

In a nutshell..
*made my last update in the prop bet yesterday..
*started learning/teaching myself Camtasia
*I ended being up 24 hours total yesterday
*proceeded to get drunk as learning Camtasia to my satisfaction was boring and got semi-annoying
*I attempted a 9table video to blow off some steam while doing the prop bet and drinking all in one (yes Ca Gere your constant tilt opening shoving was caught on video and yes Shagsi my QQ call that I said in the video I would not normally do except drunk or for purposes of the video was caught too)
*went to sleep drunk thinking no big deal I have this, to ez
*woke up and realized in the shower that even though I am where I need to be on day 8, I am getting sidetracked and losing focus when if I had really wanted to (and things went my way) I could have this bet very close to being completely wrapped up if not done by now instead of being a little over halfway
*decided I do want to beat this prop bet
*so no more slacking off, getting sidetracked with a number of different things like I have the last few days

just thought I would let you guys know
I'm going to eat breakfast with my dad and come back and try to knock the rest of this out in good time
gotta stay focused!

Attempted to make a video, but I didn't select the right jack for audio so it used the mic/line output instead
so that was an utter fail
but my day wasn't

One of the main reasons I did this prop bet was to make time fly and I gotta say it is flying. Today at 6:45pm my time is the end of day 5? wow

Had a really busy day irl today and didn't actually get started til later than planned. I'm planning on making up for it. I'm taking a break right now though as the last 2k hands or so I've been playing kinda crappy. Overall it's still been a good day of making money and buyins tho so can't diss to much.
Think I'm just being pessimistic because I was $4 off from making everything back from yesterday, then I got whacked, dropping me about 4-5 buyins down. I should of never even looked tbh. Every time I've ever looked at PT or the cashier and said I'm going to stop as soon as I make x amount more, I get nailed. You guys learn from my mistake if you can

So anyhow, onto screenshots:

Note where the graph says $176/day. Basic math says this is exactly what I need to be doing (7.1 buyins a day) so I am exactly where I should be. In fact, I'm 12 hours ahead, and I am going to go back at it. I will post end day results too.

Today so far


that's about it - back at it!
tc and gl all~






This pic isn't random. I will do the random pics again after the prop bet is over. I feel like I'm missing something I wanted to say or do in this blog and since I can not remember I put this in here instead.

haha here you guys go
u gotta love poker is all I can say
that was the most fun I've had in a bad run ever
there was some very minor tilt involved in the beginning, I'll admit that, but after I paused, got a drink and some chocolate, I just played normal and continued with what I think is good/solid poker

and there was nothing I could do

well ok yes, I could of quit, and normally I would
but my curiousity was perked, and I wanted to see if I could wait out the bad run and pull out of it
nooo I didn't stay at the same tables and just lose lose lose lose while having a poor image etc
I still played well and am actually happy about my play. It was just the fact that nothing won. Standard variance except I would never have let myself get 16 buyins down without stopping somewhere
But this prop bet is an exception

I dunno, maybe a part of me wanted to make it interesting as well
so anyhow! here we are
screenshots! lol




note AA, AKs, AKo and their W$SD
combined those three were 18%
I could post hands, but there is to many of them lol
a few were failed bluffs and the rest were coolers

I think at this exact moment I'm right where I should be, where at the end of the day I'll be a little behind if I don't have 700 or so? I dunno, not really doin the math, I know it's close. Not thinking about it, just doing it
So anyhow, with that I'm gonna either go back at it or go to bed and start behind when I wake.
Just thought I'd keep you guys updated


u know same days are just like this vv

I'm wondering if I should throttle it and see how fast I can do this or take a break..
think I'm gonna take a break and take the rest of the day off
not entirely sure tho
wanna keep the right balance since it's going really well

Poll: What should I do?
