Played 1.5k hands, up 2.5 buyins. Running pretty well still.. My sets dont seeemed to get paid of as much, but TP is getting more showdown value with people calling cbets with worse hands..
The Bonus is clearing really fast.. 20$/hr 8 tabling on the PokerRoom network.. so just by breaking even im making quite a bit of money.. there seems to be neverending amounts of 10x bonuses on the network, but if i clear them out too fast i could do the 15x and get an ipod.. its still like 50% Rakeback, and a site im familiar with..
looks like PokerStars has a reload, i have 120$ left there, and another 120$ just popped up.. i had been clearing it at 25NL, which was quite tedious.. i think it will clear at a decent pace at 100NL.. either way its 6 months to expire so..
im still wondering if i should try and move up to 200NL after my bankroll is ready (not sure how much that should be, 7k??).. provided i have played 15k hands at 100NL.. let me know what you guys think. |

| definitly consider clearing the new Stars Bonus. i think im going to have to pass it up at $25nl, but at $100nl, it should clear fine. |

ok, will do. ill deposit now and clear later. not sure what clears faster PStars at 100NL or a 10x reload at Ongame.

caffeine is huge for me. i used to drink tea.. maybe i should start doing it again.. soda is def not good for me but that is usually what i drink.. i think i play better with some caff in my blood.. too much while moving up or playing a big hand makes my heart pound a bit sometimes..
The last few days im up 2 buyins each, so im plus like 1.2k in 3 days of 100NL.. today im at the inlaws and stuck with a laptop. so im just 4 tabling some Paradise at 50NL. im up about 250 so far. i have 30$ more to clear. i dont have pt set up to work on Paradise, plus the Bonus doesnt really clear much faster at 100NL.. so im back down for 50NL, also im participating in the buddy system/hand reading exercise which i signed up for back when i was at 50nl, and my bud is at 50nl.. my big hands get paid off a lot easier at 50nl i think.. oh yeah and cbets work a lot better too  .. i cbet virtually every hand i raise pf, unless i get donked into.. even if its multiway. i think im going to have to change that strat a bit at 100NL.
a side note, im honest worried about outlawing poker.. these idiots took us to war for no reason, they can do this to poker for no reason as well.. |

i'm worried now too. i've finally gotten to the point where i believe i can make a very respectable side income from online poker in the near future, and i really hope it doesn't get taken away from me now. |

Cashed out $1999 from PokerRoom today after clearing the 250$. Took ~4k hands to clear 250 at 7x. Not bad at all really. Much faster than 25NL thank god. I ran so hot i didnt need to deposit more than 500$ at PokerRoom.. built my way up to 8 tables and just kept going. of course i had much more behind in neteller if i needed it.
Started to have some variance tonight.. lost a big hand to a runner/runner, and folded a river with nutstr8 when the board paired after heavy heavy f/t/r betting.. ill post those and a few other hands in the HHs..

Cleared another Paradise poker 100NL.. i think a basically broke even there, but i dont have PokerTracker to keep me honest.
Total bankroll currently =$5643 -updated the graph
bears looked gr8 today.. i think they are one of the elite teams in the country, of course they havent faced very good teams.. but i think they will be 14-2. |

ya im back to the old 1/2.
I had a solid lifetime winrate for 2/4, but a 15 buyin downswing was a little more than my bankroll could stand.
You aren't playing party 1/2 are you Fnord? |

im never going to play 2/4... period. renton's strategy works so well at the nitty 25/50/100 level, that im avg 1 buyin per hour.. if i can be happy with ~100$/hr then im just being greedy. i plan on moving up to 200NL after 15k hands, i have a friend that plays there short stacked and does ok.. so i imagine its not too much different. he says he gets killed at 2/4 as well.
anyways i made 3 buyins in an hour here at PokerStars, so i guess i dont hate it after all
one last time, how much $$ do i need to be rolled for 200NL, 8 tabling? i was thinking 35 buyins would be sufficient...
ill update the graph on the first page as well.
current broll $5995 |

You'll move up to 2/4. I said the same thing when I was in your shoes. Now I am saying "I'll never play higher than 5/10." But I will. If you are good and if you are serious, you'll continue to move up.
BTW I am not getting killed at 2/4. I have taken close to 10k off those tables COUNTING the money i have lost in this downswing. Im just on a downswing from Hell, and since I have withdrawn, I no longer feel comfortable playing there with my current bankroll. |

Welp played a bit today on PStars and HoldemPoker.. down 1.5 buyins..
i had a bit of a problem with fancy play syndrome, ran into more than my fair share of sets, and got all in AA v QQ, guy got a Q.. at one point i had AJo in 3 or 4 tables at the same time, all missed, all cbetted and all got called. i was a bit frantic at that point.. my stats for the day was wayyyyyyyy too loose 24/13.. im thinking part of this is due to the 9 max on PStars, plus i played a bit of heads up trying to get a pot limit table going.. however now that i filter out the hands with 6 or fewer my stats didnt change much..
obviously i need to work on tightening up a bit... ive got a lot to work on before moving up to 200NL. already 8k hands of 100NL under my belt, if i get back on track i will be at 200NL in a week. |

Up 6+ buyins today and 125$ in Bonus. PokerTracker is getting some errors with Ongame's new upgrade.. so the stats arent 100% accurate.. however it looks like im up >20 buyins so far at 100NL in close to 10k hands. a couple more days and ill reevaluate my situation. i should be at 15k hands soon. the only problem is that there are so few 200NL tables (~10) at Ongame that id be on every single one.. 100NL has a ton of tables.
i did have a moment where the connection wasnt the greatest.. it is tilted me into a bit of a calling station and i lost .5 buyins with an under pair/mid pair. i also ran into a couple of people who dont like to bet their QQ even when it hits a set, or in this case boat. see:

Not for me  Got killed there at Party, moved back down to 50NL where they respect my c-bets and made 2 buy-ins over my first 600 hands. Confidence coming back, now I just have to climb the ladder again...
