Right lets get sitngos and tournaments out of the way first, im not a particularly good player/ big winner in either of these formats. My sitngo game can only be described as poor you can find my full tilt and pokerstars results on sharkscope (username on both is Mr_Rahl). As for tournaments it looks slightly better again you can see full tilt and pokerstars results here http://officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/Mr_Rahl/poker/results/BFD7ADE2CBEB442F9D7DFC80FCE67518.html?t=2

Selecting full tracking will give you lifetime results for these sites. I have a couple of nice results on ultimate bet and poker333 but I don’t know how to get at them so full tilt and pokerstars will have to do.
Now onto cash games which I primarily play. I have been a 50nl player for about 9 months and have 16 thousand hands logged on poker office (I have played more than this its just poker office hasn’t been the most reliable program). As it stands at the moment at 50nl I am up $740 over these hands at a rate of 4.65 BB/100hands. I’m not a huge multi-tabler but that might have something to do with playing on a laptop where I like a maximum of 3 tables at once.
I returned home about 8 days ago looking forward to be able to play on full tilt (I can only play on pokerstars with no rake back when in uni which poker office wont seem to work on) and logging some hands. After assessing my situation my online bankroll was well enough to start playing 100nl and have a good go at it. Unfortunately all hasn’t gone to plan during the last week as I have dropped about $400 in those games and my overall 100nl stats are 985 hands at a loss of $660. Even though this is my biggest monetary loss to date a four buy in downswing happens. This loss is bothering me not because of the money but because of my play in those 1000 hands. I would be content if I had this loss while playing my normal game or even an average game as I have been on a bit of a bad run but some of the plays I have been making have just been stupid. Here are a couple of examples.

In this hand the villain had raised the previous two hands so even though I had him down as a tight aggressive good player I didn’t give him any credit in this hand and made a silly push on the turn.

Here the villain was again relatively tight and I donked off money to him, maybe it had something to do with being min raised.
