You dun like my pretty superwimmanz? Which "old one" are you referring to? The south park character? The brunette in the teddy? or SJU?
Also, I'm letting this blog die. I'm still doing really well, I've moved up to 50nl and I'm doing good there so far. I just hate how results oriented I got when I wrote about poker and everything. I might start another one soon, but we'll see. God, even my title is results oriented lol.

New Avatar idea: make a scary kitten man using "paint" like half monster, half cute kitten. Use it to tilt the 50NL regs with me.
Congrats on the good start to fiddy ennels man, keep updating da blog and try to forget about short term results imo.

Grinding the $10 into something useful isn't ALL for the monetary gains (although that DOES provide some incentive) chadherczeg. I want to do because that is how some REALLY good online players got started. Its kind of a pride thing you know? Being able to turn an intial $10 into THOUSANDS would be pretty sweet IMO.

Alright, you got me Keith (and carroters). I'll keep with this one I suppose. I just dont want to be posting only negative results and shit like I used to. I'll just change the name to something else. (BooG already knows lolz)
Anyways for an update:
Things have been ok lately. Nothing too exciting. As m2m said, I'm up to the small stakes (teh fiddy) which is ballin'. Especially since Keith posted that first post from my first blog. Pretty sick, considering my BR (on stars) hit $1700 yesterday and I have $300+ across two other sites (all coming from that inital $10 deposit) so I've accomplished that goal of "thousands."
I think I'm getting sick again. Fucking sucks. Coughing up phlegm (sp?), nose is running/stuffed (hate that), etc etc. Ah wells, went out to help my brother track a deer tonight. Blood trail was pretty thick, but eventually just kind of tapered off after we crossed a creek and went up a huge hill. We found one more spot of blood and then it just kinda vanished. It was about 830 at this point so it was dark so we just marked it with an arrow, and we're heading back out tomorrow.
I've been lazy when it comes to working out and eating right. I need to get on a consistent schedule for both. Also, I need to get on a proper sleep schedule. This stay up for a day, sleep 11 hours, stay up for 35 hours shit has got to stop ffs. From now on, 6-9 hours of sleep a night. Bed no later then 2am, etc.
I also need to work on playing on my A game at all times. None of this spewing on my B game bullshit. B game Bull shit = less mannies.

I just wrapped up a session of teh 50enels. I dun wanna be results oriented but I lost 2 BIs. By far the swing swongiest session ever. Started out normally, 12 tabling, nothing too exciting. Then I get a stack on one of the tables and i notice a huge fish to my left thats also 200bb deep. He's running 65/30ish at this time over about 30some hands. So i keep an eye on it
Few hands later I get KK (GIN IMO) and he limps (or some shit I forget) and I raise, he calls. Flop comes 5s3sKh (SHIP!) He checks I bet he minraises, I minraise back for lulz, he tanks then ships it. SNAPCALL (ldfo) He has A4. No spades. A naked gutshot and he ships it 200bb deep. Turn is obviously a 2 and its gg sir bye, bye $100 imo.
After that its pretty uneventful, got a stack with AA> AK vs him, then lost 88 < AT, then got a stack with KJ > K6, then lost a stack vs a nit with AA < QQ. Thats pretty much night. Lolz. Anyways, I'mma try to cut back on these types of posts in the future, but there was just way too much lulz for me to not do it.
BAI!

So its been a rough few days. Friday was only the beginning of a case of the runbads. Not to say I haven't spewed, becuz omfg I have. I was talking to m2m about some stuff, and I told him about 3 hands that I could thing of off the top of my head where if I had folded, or not tried to go for "thin value" where there wasnt any, I'd be +2 more BIs than I am right now. So that leads me to believe there are more bad calls, bad folds, bad raises, etc leading to even more BIs lost needlessly. Kind of demoralizing, but I'm glad that I'm over bitching about how bad I run.
Moved my whole roll over to FTP so I can rack up the rakeback and stuff. I'm going to be dropping down to 10nl for the time being, due to confidence issues, but I'm going to be getting a coach coming up here soon. I won't tell you who it is until its over with, but it should be pretty sweet and I'm really looking forward to it. He should really help me focus on my game and not worry about the bullshit. 
Thats all for now folks.

I've been talking with m2m via IRC and msn and I notice that the majority of the time I'm talking, I'm bitching about beats, or how my hand didn't come in, etc etc. FUCK THAT. I'm sounding like a whiny bitch. There's no excuse for a player who's played as many hands as I have to still be complaining about everyday shit that happens at the table. I'm DONE tilting like a 2nl nub. From now on, if I bitch about a beat or something along those lines (this doesnt include comments on how my session went: i.e.: "down 2 BI's this session") I'll ship m2m or BooG $1. Whichever replies to this first.

I've been playing some seriously undisciplined poker. I'm making some stupid plays with no more reasoning than, "fuck it." So yea, this shit has got to stop. Its getting to be ridiculous. Betting when an A hits the board on the river with the intention of b/f but deciding to call when he shoves when I have KK is just omg.
DISCIPLINE IS KEY MORAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, I dropped down from 50 to 25, spewed some more so I dropped down again, even though I'm way overrolled for 10, but my game needs work so dropping down it is.

Mission Stop Spewing Like A Tard is accomplished. I talked to m2m after playing ~800 hands today and still spewing in IRC and gave him some stats from recently and he pretty much slapped me in the face and told me to settle the fuck down. 10nl is 10nl. Its the fucking micros. Bet/bet/shove is all u need to do here. I finally bought into it again, settled the fuck down, tightened up my game, and value bet the shit out of retards tonight. Finished with 2800 hands, +9.5 BIs. Let's keep this gravy train rolling.
I feel so much better now that I've had a solid winning session again. I'll be looking back to 25nl at ~1500. Probably play there when I'm feeling good, and motivated to grind. Call me a BR nit, I don't care anymore. After the swing I just had, I'd rather have 100 BIs for a limit with almost no risk of ruin, than 30 Bis for a limit and a significantly higher RoR. *pats self on back* Letting go of ego is fun.

This is kind of late, but I'm glad to hear that you came back safe and sound! Are you gonna go back out? Hope everything is well with you my friend.

OP: Beginner to Master
If I bet as a bluff, I should be thinking "am I getting better hands to fold? Is it likely that he will fold x% of the time to a y sized bet to make it +EV?". If I bet for value, I should be thinking "am I getting worst hands to call? Am I ahead of enough of his range that this is a good value bet?".

It should have been, but I broke even forever this month lol. Thank god for rakeback I guess... :/
Sorry it's been so long since I've updated this, keeping a blog just doesn't seem nearly as important as it used to when I first started out. But so far this month, I haven't accomplished much with poker. I played like 55k hands which is my highest volume to date, but was breaking even over the course of the whole month. With rakeback I made like idk, $300? So I guess its not a huge fail, but I expect more out of myself. Next month will be better obviously.
I think my biggest problem at the moment is being too impatient to make money at this game. I make moves where I shouldn't be and I'm just all around playing extremely undisciplined poker lately. I plan on changing that in the very near future.
Thanks for bumping this xpaand and Play To Win, good to see both of you are still around. I'll try to keep this a lil more interesting from now on. :P

No posts in 2010? I've spent the last two weeks tracking your progress from $10 to $2000 and then it ends suddenly.
Is there a link to another thread where the saga continues?
