Why a new thread? For a new start? 
I can split any part of this thread for you if you want. Or I can move it. Just let me know if you want either of those things. |

| terry, i noticed you were up 5 buy-ins for the day. does most of that come from double ups with stuff like sets or is a lot of it smaller and medium pots that add up at the end? |

the usual, AA/KK preflop/flop. then str8's, sets, flushes, fh.
one hand i won big tripled up with 79 flopped top 2 vs 3 other semishorties. another hand i flopped a set on monotone board, guy slowplayed flopped nutflush let me hit my full house and got a stack there. |

basically break even today...
got sucked out on by shorties, no biggie.. chased a few draws that didnt hit... i did play a 20/8.5 game today. so i tightenend up there. a few thinking hands where i had tptk and second barrels had me thinking a bit. i just need to play more during peak hours, with a sharp and clear mind. i have been playing big sessions late at night on Full Tilt, and i get a bit fatigued. also that place is a rock garden. i might get set up at Bodog, since it has about as many players as Full Tilt, but from what i hear, way more fish. too many shorties and multitabling nits at Full Tilt (at least at 3am on sat night).
bankroll is $1120. |

In my experience FT is the rockiest of all. Stars is still rocky compared to Ongame but I think it's softer than FT. Bodog is pretty nice but 3 tables gets pretty annoying. |

I agree. I need to move some of my $$ over to Bodog. possibly 5 table FT and 3 table Bodog. WPEX could be interesting as well.
heres some hands from the last 2 days for HH.

I just finished a really old $50 Stars Bonus and moved 1/2 my roll to WPEX. I'm now playing Bodog & WPEX. Bodog is pretty sweet with the bottomless Bonus and horrible players. No PT though so get used to no HUD! WPEX could definitely use some traffic. There's usually 0 50NL full ring games, maybe 1 or 2 25NL full ring games, and 1 100NL full ring game. There's also usually ~2 5-max games of each of those running as well. Playing a mix of 10NL & 25NL there yields about $5/hr in Rakeback.
Also...are you against playing at Stars or are you staying at FT b/c of the Bonus?
Also...here are some nice examples of what you'll find at Bodog...

Down 2 stacks today. heres some of the hh's
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=413672#413672
i really need to sit down and start new goals. i am sort of floating through poker right now.
So, here they are:
1. Play 1-2 sessions per day. each less than 1 hr.
2. Dont play tired, or with distractions. (turn off tivo!!!!)
3. Post daily results with at least biweekly graphs.
4. Post 10k hands PT results.
5. Stay on top of personal / professional life.
6. Reconquer 100NL by Thanksgiving. (>5bb/100)
7. Think more about what opponents hold.
8. Stop tilting.
9. Bankroll goal: 5k by 12/31.
OK. now i think i know a big part of the problem. i have been playing with the tivo on. i am not paying 100% attention to my tables. Also i need to sit forward in my chair when i play. Sometimes i lean back, and i play a bit more passively and make bad calldowns (weird eh?). But my dog likes to lie on the back of my neck with the puppy on my lap, both sleeping. |

Can you say "-EV"? 
Do you think you just have to adjust to the FT rockfest also? Are you still transitioning from your Ongame play? |

yup. still transitioning (that doesnt seem like its spelled right) from Ongame. that place was a goldmine for me. these FT players are rocking me. the only time i get stacks are when i hit gutshots. |

i think for FT you just have to get a comfy BR, splash a bunch of pots to build a bad image, and get paid off. |

On the plus side, you can slowly and somewhat variance-free inch your stack upwards in rockfest places by raising and stealing constantly. |

thats what i was doing vs the weak-tighties at Ongame. not happening so much at FullTilt, they are much more aggro at FT |

So here's my most recent 10k checkup:
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=414309#414309
pretty ugly. find the holes. lost another 3 stacks today. Played 25/10. Im going to change my goals to 18/8. Im playing way too loose and its costing me bigtime.
Set up pokeracehud for the first time at FullTilt. It works rather well, just have to change the table setup now! Its pretty cool to see mucked hands right away. |
