Made some back

Playing the $2 stakes.  Made about 6 dollars back.  Really slowed down my play.  Maybe too slow in some cases.  I got stacked by 52 because I didn't raise my AK.  Lesson learned.  I will always raise my AK.  Otherwise, very happy with my play compared to last night. 

I just know you guys are impressed with my 6 bucks!!!

WELCOME TO MY POKER BLOG

Hey all,

I decided to start a poker blog so you could follow my climb up the poker ladder, if you so desire.  I'm currently a losing play so I thought it may be interesting for some to follow my progress, as well as a place to keep myself mentally accountable and participate in forums and blogs.  I'm getting training at http://www.tagpoker.co.uk/.  I've been a member of the site for a few months and things overall are going well.  At this current moment not so much.  Last night I went 16W and 30L at the $5 stakes.  Not a good result at all.  Though I felt I played well, I went back to Tagpoker and watched some videos and found a lot of mistakes.  I was actually all over the place as far as my game went.  I was making horrible calls, when I knew I was beat, I was playing cards regardless of position and stack size.  I was playing my cards only and not playing the player.  I should also briefly mention the massive suck-outs that came against me.  So I dumped about half my bankroll.  I'm going to drop back to the $2 stakes until I get back on my game.  Current ROI is -10.71% after last night.  I was about 1% to the good before I got ahead of myself.  So anything  you'd like to know just post. 

See you at the tables.
