Terrible day today, can feel myself tilting as well so I'm calling it quits for the night. Back down to negative $22 from the $0.5 I was.

Find myself spewing chips to loose aggressive / passive (mixture) opponents, so I'm going to make sure I spend some of tomorrow studying up on that a bit.

Made $18.9 today, going to read up some more on tight aggressive opponents and work on my game against them as I played 2 winning players today and found it difficult against both, sucked out on one, the other I lost against so definitely going to be looking into that part of my play.

The winning user was also nice enough to end the game with a message saying "die dirty brit" which I thought was a little immature for someone that is beating the game pretty well considering sharkscope shows him up over $2k.

Only actually got 4 games in today but 3 of them were 4-mans, so I won 3/4 games. Going to try and work on my volume when I can but coursework is taking a massive priority at the moment.

Pretty poor week last week for volume, had so much coursework I just didn't have time and when I did play I wasn't focused and broke even / lost a little. My bankroll stood at around $171 at the end of the week. Yesterday I managed to get a good bit of volume in and had a cracking day, up $50, so my bankroll now stands at $221.

Not far to go now till I move up to the $7's hopefully I'll continue to play well, although I expect pretty low volume again towards the end of this week.

Thing's feel like they're clicking into place a little better now, I am much better at identifying opponents and their weaknesses but I do still find myself spewing a few chips here and there due to silly decisions that even at the time I know are wrong. Going to make sure I'm more focused in this aspect and ensure that I play correctly and trust my instincts a little more.

Another good day today, was up to 240 but just lost a couple, overall up about 14 dollars for the day, not all that much volume today but happy with the way ive been playing. Not far off moving up to 7's. When I do I'll be setting myself a drop down limit which will be $200, which will give me about 6 straight buyins at $7. Hopefully break into it nicely Smile

After a poor start to the day, mainly due to tiredness and real world influences putting me in a bad mood dropped down to about 227 dollars. Stopped, had a nap, sorted out my mood, did a bit of reading up and hit the tables later on. Won 6 games straight to bring my br up to 245.

This means i'm hitting the $7's waheyy! Played one and won so far, hopefully I'll continue to play well and I feel its good that I've noticed early on how much my mood with other issues can affect my play. Will be doing my best to avoid that mistake in the future.
