Tough month

So far this month is going pretty slowly. I had today mostly free and wanted to put in a good few thousand hands, which I managed. I started on Full Tilt and managed to lose about $100. I don't know why I can't win there. I know it's psychological - I tilt so easily when I'm on Full Tilt - but I can't seem to stop it. So I moved to Stars and dropped another $50 before winning most of it back, ending up $23 down. There were some pretty crazy hands, and I played a lot of them very badly, basically giving money away.

- Figured there was value in pushing here - turned out I didn't even need to hit that river!

- Giving it all back - against the same person, thought it was the same move, of course it wasn't - i'm an idiot!

- Nice river! - I get lucky and set-up on the river! Ah, not so lucky...

- Nice River! #2 - I probably stack off even without hitting my queen against this opponent, but still a nasty river

- What's the move on the river? - It's against the same opponent, I think I was tilting because I really don't like pushing the river, I was very lucky that he had a hand that I can beat and that will call my push. Usually I think he only calls when I'm beat.

- 9h10h - never loses!

- Set v Set - Evens out my other 3's earlier

- Standard 1-outer - I get very lucky to win back some money for today.

So that was all fun. From now on I will continue on Stars, I just can't handle full tilt. I had said that I would give my rakeback for this month to help a school in Ecuador that I worked at last year, and I will work out how much rakeback I would've earnt on Full Tilt and donate the equivalent. I'm still trying to play looser, but I don't think I will be able to get over 20 VP$IP. Oh well, over 19 is still a big improvement from under 15.

VP$IP - 19.22
PFR - 15.58
Profit - $135
