Disappointing.

Overall 25nl results:

I am very disappointed with my 25nl results so far. Don't see a move up to 50nl anytime in the near future. Hopefully I can keep my game from changing and run somewhat better.

This week was just a weird week. I didn't have much time to play so I only got to play the weekend. I played solid just ran very bad and couldn't get paid off with any of my hands. I ran into two full buy-in coolers in today's session so I'm not too upset.

Goals for the week evaluation:

- Obtain 100 FTPs on at least 4 days out of the 6 remaining days needed for my Bronze Ironman this month. 3/6 remaining days cleared

Goals for next week:

-Play at least 5000 hands

-Clear the rest of my Iron man Midyear Bonus

-Obtain the remaining 3 days left for Bronze Iron man

-Keep number of tables played at one time 8 or less as much as possible.

-Complete the requirements for $50 full tilt rush week promotion = 7/7 days for $50 bonus.

Overall this week went very well. My play in the normal ring games was very strong and I finally got some justice and ran above EV =). I got my first real taste of RUSH poker during this promotion and it sure was an experience. It was very swingy and I saw a large amount of coolers in my time spent there. I'm happy to have cleared the whole $50 bonus, but don't plan on converting over to rush anytime soon. I also experiences my FT bankroll to hit the $1000 mark at one point during this week which even though it was short lived was very exciting and I was proud to show my hard work has brought my initial deposit up this far. I want to continue to work hard and study hard and see it grow to much many times what it is today.

Goals for upcoming week:

- Clear the rest of my Ironman Midyear Bonus

- Obtain 100 FTPs on at least 4 days out of the 6 remaining days needed for my Bronze Ironman this month.

An Update at last.

I know I've been slacking majorly on updating this month so far. To be honest I've only put in 3 sessions our of the 11 days so far this month which is fairly disappointing. I've been busy as I start my job and have been spending time with my girlfriend, friends, and family. I'm going to get back on my grind tomorrow for full tilt's rush poker week promotion. I'm doing to take advantage of the 100 points a day to clear the $50 bonus along with grind away at my $75 Ironman Bonus from the month before.

I decided as well I'm also going to update this weekly rather than daily as I've become too caught up on my day to day results as I'm posting them up on here and that is affecting my play therefore if I have a downswing it won't affect me as much as I'll have a week to recover before I post up. I plan on updating this every Sunday night.

I also am impressed at the updates FTP had this past week (minus the day it was down for). The new ring game table finder is very cool and helpful rather than having to constantly join waiting lists for the best tables.
