Update on building the bank roll. I've hit a wall. I went from $500 to $1,350 at one point but now I'm stuck at $1,100 over 145k hands or so. I play when I'm at home or during break time at work but it hasn't been easy because I've been having software issues and connection issues also which at times is quite frustrating. I get this messages "PokerStars have stopped working." then crash or the program stalls and then I get "You have been disconnected from the server side." or something like that. I've been emailing Stars support and updating the software frequently seems to help some but does not completely alleviate the problem. Funny thing is PokerStars client is most stable in tablet device and iPhone. Anyway, that's what I'm experiencing.

hey there dr1fter808!
nice topic, I like the hands and everything. why do you want to quit online poker now? this is zoom, u have to be prepared to take such swings, they can happen often, as you play as much hands in such a short time.
anyway, i hope you change your mind and wish you the best of luck!
Hey, thanks for the encouragement!! You are so right. I decided to stay on the table and poker god gave me a sign just now.
This player donated to my cause and he is just a stranger. People are awesome!!

Nice thread Dr1fter808
Looks like the villain on last hand was trying out the bluff call? 
congrats:f_drink:. Wish I could find a pokersite that I can make $500+ with an hourly attribution of 70-80 hours.
This one from today was brutal...

I did alright these last few days but I went on a downswing a while back and got so pissed off that I didn't play poker for months. Luckily, I still had money left in Stars account so I think I'm gonna try rebuilding my BR again whenever I'm off from work. Wish me luck.

Boy did I misplay this hand.... and check out the royal flush board at the end..... I guess I was raise/folding river.
This session was a drag to say the least, well, I'm done for the night.
Here is one of the hands that went well today but I didn't like the way I played it because my PC was acting up on me today by freezing and stuff so I couldn't dial my bet size in but I had to mash the pot button and hit send really fast just to prevent from timing out on flop after I saw that I hit a set. Phew!
