hello everyone,

My BR sits at $100 now... So I'm not giving up on the 45 mans because I invested enough time in them that it'll be too much of a waste to just switch games. Therefore, I will be playing only 12 tables! And Ill be bringing it up when I feel that I'm actually making money.

I was thinking of going down to $0.50 45 mans for like one day but I really don't want to lol. 66BIs sounds sustainable to me. Let's ship a damn 45 man.

$$$ went down faster at 12 tables :P I was down to ~$70 and decided that trying to make back money to pay off Diablo 3 that I bought on credit is -$EV so I withdrew $60.... Played fifty50s and now I'm at $5.

I tried hard to beat the MTSNGs (I think I can still beat the 180 mans), but I failed. When I get my next $200, I'll invest into NL10 cash games ZOOM or maybe on party poker for the weaker 6max tables.

See you at playground poker/stardust poker jaggedlink. I'll even try to get a job there as dealer. GL everyone with goals.

Next time will be the one!!! Believe me when I say that not many players have never gone broke, especially starting with $100(I deposited enough over the last 3 years to BE or lose a little. After every heater I'd be like 1 day into a DS and start tilting and chasing losses immediately. :f_biggrin:

Best of luck and ya know, if you're ever dealing at my table, mind slipping me a few bullets.....lol :]

Hello Hello!

I actually am not done with this blog lol :) I received a generous $10 from Jaggedlink so I am back up to $14.64. This means that I will start grinding 6 tables of SH NL2. I'll post hands and graphs here and there.

And I actually got an interview at Pier 1 so hopefully I will ace the interview like I always do _cool:

Thanks Fruktpuff, I will be able to say whether I got the job or not monday _thumbsup:

@Jaggedlink: haha nice we'll have to hang out some day.

I decided to take a short break after 200 hands lol. I'm at $61.48bb/100 right now but I'd be so much higher if I wouldn't have lost those 168bb with a stupid hand :facepalm: Here's a hand that shows the thinking players of NL2 and that losing hand.

Villain is unknown and I really didn't think that he would have any type of low card (the 6) based on pre-flop action.

lol it hasn't happened again yet :f_thumbsup:

I wanted to post another fun hand hehe. This hand literally happened right after I told myself "finally I'm getting coolered" (if that's even the right word)

One guy was making a lot of jokes in the chat and had fishy stats so he's a fish and other guy was a 37/7 fish.
