Ended up even on weekend...

I played a ton of hands this weekend but didn't get anywhere really.

On Friday I played some 400NL 6 max on Stars and won $7.45 after playing nearly 3,000 hands... lol. Saturday I played some 200NL on FTP and was down nearly $1.7k at one point but battled back to finish down only $600. Then on Sunday I played for about 6 hours and won about $700 to put me at even for the weekend.

I think I figured out what my problem is... I'm just getting too aggressive pre-flop against certain players. There are some players who don't like committing all their chips pre-flop unless they have a monster and I was treating that player type the same as an aggressive regular. I was getting AK all in without even thinking about it pre-flop against the passive players and they were showing me AA, KK, etc. I'm going to play 3-4 tables from now on and really pay attention to how people are playing pre-flop. This will help prevent me from stacking off light to the wrong opponents.

This is, I believe, where I have lost most of my buyins this month... my pre-flop game has been extra spewy. Obviously this doesn't mean I'm going to play more passively against the regulars in my games... AK, JJ, and other very good hands normally need to be felted especially in button vs. blind wars.

On a side not, I played the Sunday Million today and got owned... I lost early on, flopped a J hi flush and lost to someone who happened to flop a flush as well... the nut flush. LOLdonkaments.

I'm going to make myself a daily schedule and actually follow it, starting on Monday. I will set out blocks of time for each day where I do various activities such as play poker, watch Cardrunner vids, work out, read poker books, etc. This will help me have more structure and prevent me from having marathon sessions like I normally do. I feel like I need to break up my sessions into approximately 3 hour chunks so I can play more LAG throughout the whole session and not just for the first bit of the session.

When I play for a long time eventually I get worn out and get a bit lazy. I stop raising as much as I should in late position and generally my VPIP and PFR decrease... which sucks because I don't get as much action as I should and it also makes my pre-flop decisions more difficult because it seems that people will only stick it all in pre-flop with monsters against me.

Hopefully these few changes will help me get back into the groove again. It's frustrating just coming off my best month ever, then having a tough time even winning. On the bright side, the month isn't over with yet and I still have a chance to have a winning month. I'm only down about $1.8k from cash and about $700 from donkaments so all I need is a few solid days of winning and I'll be ahead for the month because I've gotten like $2.5k in rakeback this month.

I do have a lesson with Nutedawg tomorrow so hopefully that helps get me back on track.
