my first entry!

so i've tried to make a blog before but i've never been able to stick with it. now that i've been taking cards a lot more seriously hopefully i will take this more seriously as well, i really think constantly writing down what's going on and just going over different stuff here will help my game immensely and also help the sanity of my friends who don't want me bugging them about shit they don't care about (ie: poker, or how weird i am with girls).

i guess first thing is first, i have been running AMAZING. i'm so excited about how well i've been doing. i know part of it is that i'm running well, but i really hope i can keep up this winning because it feels good. here's a little sneak peek at my stats since 5/25 (like 3 weeks ago give or take).



ugh -- i tried to upload the actual stats so the breakdown between 50NL and 100NL would be there, would only let me save the graph as a picture though. first thing i've been annoyed about from PT3 though, it's been a very nice upgrade so far. back to the winning quickly though, this bankroll has been very shaky. i'm down a few 100 at 50NL HU from played angry/tilted as well as playing in some MTT's that were way over my roll. long story short, my roll was down to 120. i bought into 5 25 dollar satelites for the 750K guarantee exactly a week ago (i had one token) and only got one seat, god i'm horrible. i end up going super deep and get 70/3500 and cash for 1125 (here's the bustout hand, would have been sick if it could of held up and gone even deeper) -- built that up to 2k within a few days at 50NL and then took my shot at 100NL which has been going great for the past 3 days. roll is now at 3450ish. the other night if this hand would have held up i would have broken 4k as well -- a 4k week at 50NL/100NL would have been insane.

so basically full tilt has been putting me on life tilt lately due to the fact that i can't withdrawal anything at the moment. i don't have a scanner and i haven't been anywhere with a scanner so i can't send them in the files they want to let me get a check, and the bank transfer option has been down for the past 5 days now. stupid fucking epassporte withdrawing from doing business with online poker sites.

once i can finally get some money out, i'll be taking out 1k and buying myself a nice new 22" inch monitor along with a desk and chair for my room so i can have a nice little office set up. playing while lying in bed is nice and all, but i think i'd stay more focused sitting up and it should be better for my back and neck as well. it'll be interesting to see how many tables i can play and still maintain a fairly good winrate. over the 5.5k hands i've put in at 100nL, i've been 6 tabling the whole time and running just over 10PTBB/100. with the new monitor i can obviously fit more on the screen making it easier to play more tables, i think i should be able to keep up the rate with 8 tables, 10 or 12 i may start to diminish though. trail and error i suppose, i will know in time. the monitor and desk/chair and other crap should come out to around 550, plan to take jess out somewhere nice with some of the rest and then just throw it in savings.

my god this is a long post, hopefully i can keep up the posts.
