Operation: I AM DOING IT WRONG

[yourfather]

I am on a massive downswing and am making this to track my turnaround and hopefully get some feedback on hands and whatnot.

Quick bio of my poker career:

Started really getting into sngs about a year ago. Got bored and started playing 25nl after building my roll from $200 to 600 from sngs. Built it to like $800, won a G in a tourney and then built my roll to $2200 playing 50nl HU.

Went on a massive downswing playing 50nl HU withotu the skills to do so and it culminated in a drunken $400nl session which left my roll at $250. That happened in like Sept. since then I have grinded from 25nl to 100nl 6 max and a little HU.

My roll peaked about 3 weeks ago at $3800 and I thought I was on the right track. Since then I dropped $1300 at 6max 100nl. I am running terrible, and I am sure not playing very well.

I will post hands and progress here. I am not working now so I have lots of time for pokerz.

Note: I am like the only person who does not use a hud nor have HEM or PT cuz I am on a mac but I might buy a cheap pc from poker or get the software needed soon.


Current BR: $2485

Thanks.

Here is a list of things I need to do and I will add items periodically:
1. Pay more attention when playing.
2.Don't bluff stations
3.Stop talking myself into doing what I want to do when I know its not right
4.Find fish and table select better

Liek the 5th hand against this guy. My river shove is probably quite bad.
