looking up

so i'm just going to post on the old blog from now on -- i created a new one just because i couldn't find this one but know that i've found this one problem solved. first thing is first, I NEED A NEW MOUSE. it doesn't right click anymore and it drives me crazy. also, why is 'doesn't' underlined in red? i know i spelled it right.

this is mostly going to be a goals post and a what's going on. i could find hands to review, but i don't want to. i'm not a good person.

before i start i actually just want to say something real quick. i'm in a semi-annoyed mood (you'll find out why below) so i decided to look up how long it's been since i went broke online to cheer me up.

my current bankroll started off a $20 transfer from my friends uncle on stars. he plays 2/4 3/6 LHE i think. anyway, i took down a 2 dollar MTT for ~560 dollars. the next day i took down a 4.40 180 man for whatever that is, just under 300 i think. i then transfered that money over to FT to get rakeback, and the rest is history. that was in june of 2007. i'll admit i did deposit 500 a few months after that to increase my roll so i could jump into 50nl more comfortably, but never because i went broke. i should be pretty proud that i've had enough self control to keep a roll going for over 2 years online where it's very easy to just say 'fuck it' one night and play way over your head and we all know that never ends well (and trust me, there were a few nights when i thought the 5/10 games were soft ...).

first off, I RUN LIKE SHIT LIVE. you hear people whine online about how they never take beats live and everything goes perfectly at the casino but online is rigged. well fuck that, live is rigged. RIGGED! after 25.5 hours i'm down 6BI's. i'd say that's just under 800 hands. 2-3 of the BI's were definetely bad bluffs/tilty dumb shit, but the other half was cooler. not a huge deal, just annoying because i'm going to vegas in 2 days and know i have like 300 dollars to play with there (which i haven't decided if i'm going to play the 1 BI and see how i do or just save it and not be a degen).

my goal is to start building up a live roll as well, starting at the 2/3 down in oceanside though. my roll online just hit 4k (4.2k me thinks, don't quite remember from last night) so i can take a 200nl shot. hopefully that goes well and i can be a 200nl reg again (wow that feels good to say, and at the same time makes me sad that it feels good to say but whatever. i need to work on my ego a bit.) so anyway, i will be happy playing 200nl for a bit and really concentrating on building up a live roll to be a reg in the 5/5 and eventually 10/10 game down in oceanside (there are other games around i will play, but that is just the most easily excessible game). honestly, if i put in the volume i can take out a 2/3 roll in less than a month and then grinding that up shouldn't be that hard as long as i can keep my patience/concentration live (something i need to work on).

as far as online, like i said i'm happy with 1/2 for now. if i absolutely crush (which i doubt will happen for a bit) i would consider moving up somewhat quickly, but i think i'd rather take on the challenge of climbing the ladder live than online past these limits. i really don't think jumping into the 5/5 is going to be difficult at all either, nor do i really think building up to the 10/10 is going to be (although i think i will be a bit intimidated when i take shots at 10/10 ... but that will be a few months down the road).

so yea, those are my goals. run good at 200nl online, take out a nice live roll, build it up. going to play a little 200nl before i go out tonight. wish me luck!
