Life is a gamble lets shuffle up and deal

I totally agree I need to get that average stack thing out my head! cash games is going well im like $600 up in nealy 4 weeks only playing $0.10-0.20 so must be doing somthing right in the cash, not having many lossing sessions is the key. I have always been one for chasing my losses then smashing my role even more, but I think I have learned now.
For instance other day I was 2 tabling and lots 2 buy ins with ace king on a king high and and ace high board! booooo. But I just fired up another couple of table and got my grind on to try get even which I did. In the past I would have donked off more money. I have tended to keep my sessions pretty short say 1 hour at a time 2 or 3 tables seems to be working. I feel it stops me getting board. I guess top cash players would say if you are up and you feel you can beat a table u should keep playing an clean up the table, But im not a top cash player lol! I feel you can only do so well at a table for a while and then good old varience will kickin. Ill wait till im up to $1000 before I jump up a level and try be a bit more diciplined with more cash game roll well hopefully. Ill blog in a month saying i donked it off playing HU $1 and $2 lol hopefully not.
In terms if tourny poker I just play them when I have the notion was playingto much with little focuse.!! and than just means -EV!!!!!

What can I say I"m a little addicted to rush poker! I know what people say it does take reads out the game etc, but it"s quite fun been playing 0.05:0.10 and 0.10:0.25$ for like 400 hand 300 hands im up $160. decided to play a big session 4 tabled 0.10/0.25 rush poker today. Yeah was crazy! Played 1800 hands today at 0.10/0.25 and was $7 up was a mad session today up and downs but was fun. I do quite like rush like the pace of it! Thank god for rake back in this session lol!
Use guys played any of it?

I tried it last week but was less Rush poker more like frantic confusion poker.. ??? I'm bad enough at following things while normal multi tabling. this just confused me all the more.. after about an hour I was even with my FT roll at around $600
Still at that point I decided to try for a proper rush as I'd been a bit jaded with the game anyway.. so instead of my usual .25 / .50 and occasional .50 / 1.00 heads up cash I decided on some 2/4, 3/6 and 5/10.. :P
After some initial success on the 2/4 game getting up to $1700 I dropped back to $1200 after a few bad hands at both 2/4 and 3/6 so thought I'd try the 5/10 game..
Now that was a proper rush as I three barrel bluffed the whole roll on one hand... :-[ he even took time before folding just to make me sweat...
I eventually came to my senses and left the 5/10 table having been as low as $600 but finishing on $1300
Since played more 2/4 and 1/2 and my roll has dropped back to $700... think I'll continue at 1/2 as it's still a little rush but as soon as I hit $1k again I'm back to 5/10.
Remember if you are ever looking for bankroll advice I can point you in the direction of someone who isn't me... ;)

I love a good degen story of someone risking their whole bankroll. Me and a mate started on his account with 50bbs @ 200 PLO once before getting it upto 600PLO then going bust, we said we"d only quit if we got to 5/10 PLO. We got to $800 odd and were moving steadily towards the $1k quit mark when we got involved in a $2.5k pot and lost. Was good fun though. And we looked at it as only losing $100. You should update your blog with these degen sessions Zanshin!
Oh and rush poker is good fun but I do feel it"ll be gone this time next year.
It"s just another gimmick that"ll die down quickly like the matrix games.

LOL.... the updates would be to short.... down to $250 ish now after 1/2 game went badly.... did lose a buy in with a set of 4 on the flop against QQ which rivered the Q but that was just one bad beat in a session of me playing very poorly..... will take a break and save my $250 for now..... :( (well maybe :-[)
Kenny... you still playing at the Merchant City? How are the games?
