I hope I didn't miss the bandwagon on this thing...... 
****EDIT****
NEW GOAL
My goal is to earn $1500 playing  2/4 over my xmas break from school, relatively 4 weeks in length. And where you might add? The mighty PokerRoom!
Goal:
15000 Hands
375 BB
BB/100 = 2.5
Cold Calls < 20
Agg Factor >2
PFR >7
After being convinced, I changed my goal...2/4 here I come!
Wish me luck, I have to pay for school somehow |

It starts on December 09, 2004 (today) at Noon my time (1 pm EST) and will last until I start school again January 18th, 2005. Once I'm done with this I'm either moving up to 2/4, or learning 6 max, or both.
Wish me luck, I have to pay for school somehow |
Good Luck!!!!!!! If u want u can send me half that to help pay for my school too. I promise I wont complain. |

Hey, if you want to cover the 1K bankroll i'll play 2/4 then i'll split it with you.
Other than that, the $$ is all MINE! |

| Now that is a very tempting. Damn I wish I knew u better to know how good u actually were. There are plenty of people that are good enough to beat games they dont have the stake to play I just dont know if you are one of them. Plus the idea of sending a grand to someone I have never met doesnt sit well with me even though I know u would probably never screw me. Choices choices. |

| First Hour session from today....Started up really really good, 18 BB in the first 30 mins. I ended breaking even after a load of getting out drawn and playing unfocused. |

Be careful! Don't get too results oriented. Don't trap yourself into thinking "well, I just HAVE to finish up X amount" or you'll find yourself gambling rather than playing solid poker. Just play solid, play big cards and have the best of it in large pots and you'll be fine.
I wish you many solid hours of poker. (don't believe in that 'luck' thing) |

Another HUGE session at 2/4 at PokerRoom..
350 Hands
14 VP$IP
$214 Amount Won
15.29 BB/100
10.0 PFR
3.07 Agg
Man, those of you not in IRC at the time I was playing, you missed an awesome pissing match between myself and another TAg at the table....It started with me winning with 88 vs. QQ and it finished a good 2 hours later after I left +$130 at the table. It felt so great to act like a fish...
Some memorable lines:
"my favorite player is phil headmouth"
"my second favorite player is phil ibey"
"My all time favorite player is moneymakker"
By the time I was done they were calling me down with bottom pair. Things culminated with me flopping Trips with AA and a guy capping me down to the river b/c he thought i was stealing the blinds. The pot ended up over $60. Grand 'ole time. |

NOOOO Not variance.
Down around 22 BB today at PokerRoom, I've actually determined that that site is an excellent place to play for 1/2. But they don't offer enough/different tables at 2/4. I'm 'thinking' of switching to a 'Party' skin. We'll see.
The good news is that i'm up 17BB today at Absolute, which practically negates my downswing at PokerRoom. The other 5 BB I made back at Pacific, so theoretically I'm break even today, just my numbers don't show it.
Notable Hands: Lost $100 pot to a runner-runner Flush to my trip 3's....I made a mistake in not 3-betting the flop, the guy might have folded his TPTK but I doubt it. I thought I was golden, lots of action and the only draw was a flush draw, until at the river I was trying to dodge 2 suits, and not just one. One pot can make a difference between a really good day, and a really bad day. |

Another Huge day. Its been a good 4 days since i've last played and the Poker Gods miss me!
I've decided to switch over to Party, the lack of 2/4 games at PokerRoom swayed me to switch. Oh man, what a decision!
I was catching cards like you couldn't believe. I had 5 of my first 7 Pocket Pairs hit for sets. And I lost two of them to flushes! Also lost KK to 35o.....what a moron.
488 Hands
18.44 VP$IP
14.1 BB/100 
Amount won $275

VARIANCE SUCKS!
Haha, I knew I would get hit with it, and boy did it hurt.
253 Hands
17 VP$IP
9.09 PFR
Amount won: $-258
-25.49 BB/100
Agg - 1.53
My agg went WAY down. Thats probably a side effect of me losing so much. However, I didn't feel I was on tilt too much, although I don't doubt I was.
Some good news however, I had my first 1/2 6max session after I lost so much at 2/4 for today. Keep in mind I have no idea what hands to play, I just sat down at Hyper's table and took his chips
189 Hands
34.92 VP$IP (FISH!!! lol)
Folded BB to steal: 25
Att. to Steal Blinds: 52
Amount won: $35
9.16 BB/100
24.87 PFR
3.48 Agg
I don't remember playing like this. I actually thought I wasnt raising ENOUGH. I'll post some hands for analysis. I think I'm designating Party 6 max site and Eurobet 2/4 site. I know these are the same but I have never done well at Party, but at all the sister skins i've done great. I need practice at 6max anyway and the Bonus there would make a good cushion. |

Alright, well, after a bad opening session, I decided to switch games and sites and see how I did.
I did great! I played some more 1/2 6 max on Party, I played some 2/4 6 max on Absolute, and some full ring on Absolute and Pacific.
I Only ended the day -40 BB day, instead of 65 BB. I feel great about it too .
I would feel better but I made some stupid plays at the end of the session and had a $70 swing again, otherwise I would be feelin real good.
Well, thats it for today, tomorrow I'm headed home! I've got so much stuff to do......(yeah right!) |

Played a lot of poker today. Finished up the Party Bonus just over break even playing 2/4, but the 1/2 6 max is what brought me down. 2000 hands for the Bonus, only down $28 for total, so i'll take that for my $200. However, I made up for it at absolute!

You should start looking into multi-tabling and/or cherry picking 3/6. |
