after a little bit of research I've unmasked the identity of the mystery 'maniac' it was 'fat-b' =) thanks for stopping by my stakes!

... I feel like I'm stuck in mud at the moment, I play for hours each day and although I'm not really losing now, I'm not winning either. I've played for about 5 hours today and despite reaching an all time high of $35 have ebbed and flowed and am now down again.

I must admit I'm starting to grow a little impatient now, as I think I should be able to grind to at least 50 with relative ease but it doesn't seem to be working out quite as simple as that. I haven't once played a higher buy in so am pleased with that. I've been 4-tabling the last hour and am overall down about a buy in and a half.

I used to find it hard to multi table but now I just focus on an 'instant' desicion - i.e. do I fold/call/raise with this, then move on to the next - which does make things a bit simpler.

Thanks for the aim invitiation daddy once I hit $100 and move up to 5nl I'll be sure to take you up on it! I'm about to start another session now I'm going to play for 2 hours. Regardless of my status then I'm going to quit for a few hours and possibly fit one more session in before bed, or I may call it a day then tonight. By setting a time limit on the session - I think it will help to control it. If I'm down then I might play on usually and try to 'win the buy ins back' but by setting a time limit I'll avoid this.
