It's the 5th day I am down with a flu. Suffered from high temperature and pain, watched ton of movies, because I just couldn't do anything. Hope to get back to the tables tomorrow.

Can't get anything: action against my monsters, sets with pocket pairs, or money... Time to change poker rooms?
NO POKER ON SUNDAYS. 215 hands and minus 4 stacks. all in nice fashion against total fishes or suckouts. Software loves idiots? I do think so.

I will be stuck in the NL4 for some more time. Lost everything I won during last two sessions in just 215 hands. Lovely.
I am buying HM2 small stakes version 
I hope that this tool will help me to bring my game to next, more profitable level
So, time for a post after a while.
My semester is heatening up, had two midterms already, two more are waiting next week. Bought HM2 after PS gave this beautifully attractive promotion
Up 400 bb after doing this in ~1200k hands also reading some articles, and improving my decisions at the table. Although I used part of my BR to pay for HM2, I think, that if everything goes well, I can reach 400 usd and 40BI for NL10 before the end of april. I am 70 usd short at the moment, but I will get them
Also having thoughts about giving a try to some low buy in MTT's. But first I would really need some studying done, because, right now, when I am at MTT's table, I feel a complete idiot with no idea what should I do in a lot of spots. Right now my knowledge about cash games is way deeper, than it used to be, and I am still improving. Tilt control are slowly starting to work out, but I still need to improve my will, about my "enough for today limits"
I am close to reaching some of my March goals despite the fact, that I spent days completely sick laying in a bed.
Hope the end of month will go well for me.
Interesting fact. I have noticed in HEM, that I am running above EV. Still thinking is that a bug of software, or not
So, time for the weekly update #1. Decided to do them, because this might be a nice way to track my progress.
Bought HEM at the start of the week, and no offense PS elephant, but HEM is so +EV. up 900bb in 3.5k hands, here's the graph:
.
I am playing pretty solid game atm, although once again sunday is -ev for me.
But only lost ~80BB today, while, ran KK into AA. I think, it's about time to fold KK if I am facing a 4bet in NL4.
Next week will be pretty messed up - two midterms, and one more on April 2nd. 2nd of April is also special, because it's BDAY of my GF
But I hope I can play some poker too. 4tabling at the moment, because my laptop screen sucks, I am definitely buying 23-24" monitor this summer.
My BR after this week: 351.06 I am playing at NL4, trying to reach 400 usd for NL10.
See ya next time mates
How many f***ing times it's ok to have KK while other guy holds AA in a row?
So tired of these situations.. Down 4 BI during last two sessions and most of situations were AA vs KK while I was holding a loosing AA against a set of KK, or loosing KK against AA. Beautiful rng.
Here's my monthly graph.
Goals for March were:
Get 10BI - Got 14.5 was even more if not for bad end of the month.
Play 10 - 15K hands - Played 17.5K despite being sick for a week and writing three midterms during march
Improve my game to a next level - Done that. Isolation move learned, HM2 bought, working quite well. Now need to learn that in NL4 4 bet means AA.
Complete 3 lessons of beginner school - 1 lesson only. My bad, was short on time, had ton of other stuff to read.
All in all not a bad month overall.
Now weekly update #2 since I think, I'll skip the tables tomorrow.

This week is minus 24bb for me, just because of really poor friday/saturday performance. But lesson learnt.
BR: 351.03 usd.
Goals for April:
Reach 400 usd.
Start taking shots at NL10
20K hands.
2 lessons from Beginners School.
I am done with PartyPoker. Taking all my funds out from it. I'll join some other room... Maybe PokerStars. Maybe something with rakeback program.
Do yourself a favor and don't go to Stars, having rakeback is pretty essential if u wanna move out of the micros in a reasonable amount of time.
Can I join ongame network skin, where I could get 40 percent of RB, if I joined william hill?
