Week 39:
I guess this is now week 7 of my fight to get out of the 17 and 1800s. Pretty much more of the same. I didn't play any between last Tuesday and yesterday. Lots of hanging out with friends over the weekend. Last night I hopped on during the 2nd half of Monday night football and won a little over 3 buyins thanks to a ton of aces. Today I ended up down a buyin but racked up a lot of FPPs. I should finally have enough to get the $1K gift certificate sometime in the next week. Another milestone is approaching as I have played nearly 75,000 hands at the 50NL level. I made myself play over 100K hands at 25NL before moving up, so it looks like by the time I finally get properly rolled for 100NL I'll have plenty of experience. My self discipline is pretty high, so if I can get up to about $2500 I'll take a shot at the next level with a 5 buyin stop loss limit. The frustrating part is that could happen in two weeks if I run hot, or it might take several more months if I keep spinning my wheels where I'm at. All good things come to those who wait.
