    cheers guys.
    Stars is different from FTP. There are a lot of nits out there. At one table in particular today I was sitting with three 13-10 types, one 15-12, and four 10-7 nits - those tables are like printing money!

    Rolling slowly. I've earned some fpps thanks to stars having a cool promotion this month - i got platinum star playing 5nlol - plus i had a few left from whenever i last played stars. I've also accrued enough VPPs to get some stellar rewards ($20 so far!!). I know that buying the $50 bonus isn't the best use of FPPs, but I think that anything that accelerates my move up through the stakes is worth the lost future value in FPP conversion (plus i'll earn enough FPPs by moving up to compensate etc). I'll probably move up to 25nl at bankroll = $550 or $600, hopefully after one or two more sessions. Funny, my hourly in my time at 5nl and 10nl has been >>$10 excluding bonuses. Ridiculous.

    Once I'm at 50nl I will start phase 2 of this re-grind. In parallel with grinding the Full Ring, this phase will involve starting at the lowest limits in some other games and learning some more. To start with it will be ante tables (I suck on ante tables), also 6-max, also omaha. I am also going to learn to 24-table - but not for a while yet. I'm probably getting way ahead of myself - first, and most important, step is to get this roll built. And that's a long way from complete...

    phase 2 underway, kinda. I'm reading and thinking a bunch about omaha, and also deep play. Not sure which i'll be hitting, or if indeed either.
    It feels good to have ground up a roll from $50 in a reasonably short time. I'm not sure how much time I will be spending on other games vs playing my bread and butter.

    it is a sunny winter day and time to go out for a run. Sunday morning I will be lining up at the start line of a half-marathon - my first ever. Excited about that.
