As an update from last month.........I've been grinding it out at Paradise, started out with $50 deposit (yes, i know, didnt maximize my deposit here) and bangin heads in the .02/.04 rooms.....gradually moving up to .05/.10 and .10/.20. My br has gone from $50 to $170 in about 5 weeks, so it's slow and gradually building....as it does, I feel more comfortable moving up in the games. Cleared my little $25 bonus here and will wait on a reload. I really enjoy Paradise, just need to work my game up to .50/1 and get the br up so I can start "seeing whats out there!"

Have set myself a goal to double br in Feb to $300 and again in March...I believe this is attainable, giving me something to "shoot for" in terms of visible results, but still the most important thing is to keep learning strategies and apply them, I look at this phase in my development as "paying the tuition"...If I lose and play right.....thats ok. This is learning money and I dont mind if i have to pay some now to learn the right ways to do this... I am still VERY excited about learning...have gone thru SSH and HePFAP once each, The Tao of Poker, and have Theory of Poker on its way from Ebay!!! Cant get enough, feel like they are all "textbooks" and Im taking a "poker class" !!!!! Still lovin it!
