Okay, after reaching Silver status here in PS I decided to create my own poker blog :).
I'll post my charts every once in a while, some interesting hands (or terrible bad beats ♦), set short and long term goals, etc...
For a start I'll post my overall charts/summary:


(From 29/10/2008 to 16/11 /2008)
I started to save my hands approximately one month after I started playing (silly me), so those are not real "overall", but close enough :).
As you might notice I don't play that much, rarely more than 2 hours/day, not only because I suffer from lack of time (damn college) but also because I tend to get a little stressed out after more than 150 hands in a row.
Some short term goals:
Keep the Silver status;
Read all the Silver Strategy Articles related to NL;
Play at least 150 hands per day;
Clear the $15 missing bonus until the end of the week;
Move up to the NL25 tables in one month;
And now, the stressful/stupid moment of the day:

Final Pot: $7.45
Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows two pairs, aces and queens (Ad Ac)
CO shows a straight, king high (Kc 9c)
CO wins with a straight, king high (Kc 9c)
I had already unchecked to auto-post blinds and would leave soon, when I saw the AA I couldn't believe my luck, I could duplicate the $3.50! I though he might have KQ or QJ, but when I saw K9 I felt really sick, he had hit a straight in the flop and I played horribly. Oh well, rebuy $2 and keep playing. But, in the next hand...
WHAT? I don't believe this! ♦

Final Pot: $4.15
Results follow (highlight to see):

I just wish it was the other way round (win when I had $3.50 and lose with the $2.00
).
