Ahhhhhh a bad day's poker

Well, today was incredibly bad. I'm not going to publish the financial results just yet. I've decided to make the bankroll update a weekly thing. I managed to play like an extreme mega fish at 2NL... I then went bonkers and played as bad if not worse at 5NL (a limit my bankroll doesn't allow)..... ahhhhh,

I think I've confused myself by trying to play both cash, MTT and SNT's. Perhaps I should focus on either just playing cash games or just tournaments. Any advice?

I read Sit 'N Go Strategy by Colin Mosham a few nights ago. To be honest the first read was quite rushed. The book covers a vast amount of situations and there are many question and answer exercises. I was very interested to read about the mathematical aspect of making a living playing sit n go tournaments. So presumably if you study the mathematical aspects, allow for the different player types etc etc then you'll end up making money. I read that one of the hardest things is dealing with the fact that if one is a MTT (multi table tournament player) there will be periods of time without a single cash finish let alone a winner. So I imagine it must be very difficult to keep playing one's 'A game' after busting out of a number of tournaments in a row, particularly if due to 'bad beats'. I'm going to have another read of the book today.

I found on a number of poker forums people were talking about the book Harrington on Hold 'em.  I bought this book too, but I've only quickly scanned through it. I read that the pushing and folding ranges in this book are rather different to the ones Colin Mosham suggests in his book. I've decided to ban myself from playing any more poker tournaments until I've finished reading AND studying these books.

I'll keep you posted on my findings! hopefully I find out how to play poker tournaments properly.......
