Hands: 200
Amount Won: $0.00
FPPs Earned: Not sure... 439 so far this month.

At least it wasn't a loss. I'm actually gonna think of it as a win. For one, when I first started, I was getting seriously COLD decked. Insane shit put me way down. However, I scraped back to even.

Now I'm off to watch some football. My picks for this weekend: Skins, Bengals, Jaguars, Panthers. I'm placing a $5 wager on every playoff game. I did the same for every bowl game and ended up just below even on my picks. I also placed a 4 team Parlay for $5 on this weekends games.

I'm gonna watch some football and clean house. Then I'll debate on going out or not. I need to get out of the house. I'm going crazy. However, I still am not 100%. I'm just holding food down these days.

Hrmmm... maybe I'm just not holding my mouth right. Another day of losing. Although not as bad this time. I played around 500 hands and got the win rate up to an astounding -1.93BB/100. More of the same. I have found myself forcing aggression on some hands. I lost a lot of value bets today just because I've been taking a beating and I'm gun shy. That shit will kill you.

January has always been a bad month for me. Last year, it was my only losing month and trust me, it made up for any other losing month I should have had. I'd say the month of January has probably cost me a few truck payments. I'm bound and determined to turn it around. My spirits are high. If anything, I know I'll get an iPod Nano out of the deal.

I'm blaming this session on my listening music. I got the new Seether album and although pretty damn good, it has cost me some money. I'm changing it up. I'm gonna select a little Nugent for my next session.

Ugh... I should have quit while I was only minus $90.

It got very ugly folks. 2 one outters in the same day. That's a first for me.

So it's been over a month since I've booked a win. I'm a little on tilt right now, but I'll get over it. I kinda want to play some more, but I'm a little afraid. So I'll just stay away. Maybe later this evening.

I actually played poker today. It didn't irritate the shit out of me or anything. It was actually fun despite the fact that I lost 20BBs or so. I would have won had there not been a river card. It ended up plugging me in the ass a few times costing me a couple huge pots. Including a hand when I was holding AK clubs with 3 clubs on the board and no straight flush possibilities. I bet, villian raises, I re-raise, he calls. River brought four to a straight flush. I bet, he raises, I re-raise, he caps. He turns over K spades, 6 clubs for a straight flush.

I actually had a decent amount of fun playing despite the tough beats. Also, I have a mission that will help inspire me to play. I want to make enough FPPs to achieve at least a SilverStar status so I can buy a new iPod Nano. I almost have enough points saved up, by the time I achieve the 1500FPPs to gain the necessary Silver Star status, I'll have enough.

Edit

Stats for today:
Hands: 345 (2 tabling $2/4 6 max)
Amount Won: ($90.50)
FPPs gained: 122

I'll probably play some more later on. I want to average 2500 hands/week. This is a pretty low #, but I just want to ease back into it.

LOL, I think I'm gonna cry:
