Vinland is an unknown quantity at this point
 Ouch that hurts....
If it makes you feel any better, one time in the span of about 120 hands
I had KK lose to JJ all in preflop.
I had a AA lose to AQs when opp hit his flush on river.
I had a set of 8's lose to a straight
Had QQ run into KK with a board that was all undercards...

I just let myself know that its variance... Thats what a BR is for.
I confess in quicksand

Going to have to go back to 5NL after this hand :

Guy in MP was a complete donk. No stats sorry because I was on my parents PC.

UTG ($11.05)
MP ($26.70)

BB ($5.55)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A, Q
1 fold, MP calls $0.10, Hero bets $0.50, Button raises to $1.60, 2 folds, MP calls $1.50, Hero calls $1.10

Flop: ($4.95) 6, A, A (3 players)
MP checks, Hero checks, Button bets $2.20, MP calls $2.20, Hero raises to $5.40, Button calls $3.20, MP calls $3.20

Turn: ($21.15) 10 (3 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $13.95 (All-In), Button calls $2.40 (All-In), MP calls $13.95

Ok today started off with me donking around in the $3.30 re-buy and losing $12 in the process.... Got up to $24000 during the re-by period then lost my stack QQ<AA and didn't recover. Bad BR management I know but I wanted to have some fun lol. After that, however, I played 886 hands of 5NL (full ring for a change) and it was a resounding success as I ended up over 9 buy-ins . So BR is $242 whheeeeeeee.

Haven't been posting because I haven't been playing much for the last few days.... Bankroll is at $280 after ending up 2 buy-ins today. Started playing 6m 10NL and lost 3 buy-ins so sitched to FR and won 5 buy-ins. Got in a good volume of around 1100 hands so hopefully this will continue!

Kept getting close to the $300 and then fell behind again. So, I decided to do a large multi-tabling session of $1 SnG's. I am pleaed to say it went great . I played 20 at once for an ROI of 125% meaning the roll is up to $313. I played like a bot but it seemed to work pretty damn well haha.

Cheers Courtie. I know they do suck but can be quite profitable at times but anyway I got back to the grind today. However, I only played 347 hands as I was up 3 buy-ins and felt quite tired, so yaaaayyy for progress at 10NL finally!! roll is at $337.....

Ok I'm going to have to stop playing the $3.30 re-buy when I'm underolled. I jst cannot afford not to cash in it. I should probably wait until I have at least $1k before playing it. Managed to donk off $22 in it, which is just so stupid because it ruins my work on my grind.

HOWEVER, I destroyed 10NL 6m for the first time tonight. After about 750 hands I was up close to 7 buy-ins.... SHIP-IT! See the banner for new BR....

 You should probably have minimum $1500 to play the $3r. I'd probably want $2.5k to $3k to play it on a regular basis.

Wow, thanks for posting that link to the vids. That actually (somehow) seems like a pretty interesting game. I might try screwing around on some play money tables, then playing a mtt/sng or something.

Cheers!

On a sick downer. After getting coolered a few BI's I went into super tilt/ spew mode and have fallen all the way back to $322. It's so frustrating and annoying so I'm going to stop playing for the night (or a least cash anyway) and hope I'm in a better frame of mind tomorrow!!
