I limp on early EP if the table is aggressive or I can see at least two players with Raise pre flop stats of more than 15. Other than that I usually raise when I am 1st in.

Interesting blog, I like your style it is not conventional SSS & I am sure that is what is throwing people off.
Would you be interested in chatting about poker over MSN or SKYPE ?

Thanks for the offer. The SSS being thought here can easily be read and predicted by regulars of NL200 thus these players are adjusting against ant regular sss'er. Few advertisement on the cards you play on the table actually helps a lot on the image. A lot of adjustments on the cards to play and actions both pre and postflop are needed.
Standard SSS lines will just not work.

I will be playing in a live tournament tomorrow and if I make it deep I will not be able to play online.
I managed to qualify for Stage2 with just a little over than the average stack. My tourney was a hell of a bumpy ride. As far as I can remember I went all in 5 times and all of them has callers. Most of the time I was chasing and got lucky on turn/river. 120 players remaining and few more bust out I will be ITM. I still have 3 more hours before the start of Day2 so I am here browsing the site.
Day 1 ended at midnight and managed to play a very short session before I sleep and definitely it was a good session.
A loose shortie getting paid.
I had a hard time doing table selection. Most of the tables I joined were tight so I and up being the aggressor

Thanks for the comment. I think this blog serves it purpose, it is actually giving me the right pressure to be focus with my game.
I have been contemplating between moving up the stakes or switching to BSS in this same level. As soon as I have reached more than $6k balance I will decide on this matter. I am just taking it one step at a time.

I managed to get ITM at 39th place. It is a small prize but the experience was worth it.
NOW back to online poker.
I played a short session right after my previous post.
Here is the result:
Very loose shortie getting paid. I think I am getting good in spotting easy fish and the plays to isolate them are working.
Some good played hands:
1. JJ on SB, isolated the loose player in MP:

2. 6h5h on UTG, slowplayed nuts on the flop

3. 88 on UTG, limp raise all in - took the coinflip cause raiser has a wide range based on stats

4. Ako on UTG, limp raise all in - standard line

5. AA - premium card getting

Haven't check the big pots I lost yet so I will try to pull them out later. (Maybe too shy to actually share it). I will also try to pull out hands involving blind battles (Bu/SB/BB).
I had an AKo on EP and I did not notice that I already doubled up the previous two hands.
I limp and instashove by mistake when somebody reraised . This is my line when I only have less than 25BB. This kind of mistake would definitely put me on tilt if the result not this:

by the way villain stats:
VPIP: 38
RPF: 13
I have just experienced two days of losing sessions. 
Its either my cards are not hitting or I hit my draw on the turn but villain will hit his redraw on river.
Balance is now down to $2800
It has been a while since I last posted.
Right now, I am not having the right volume of poker games that I want to. Something happened during the last update of pokerstars. Most of the time I am now having connection problem and I am getting timed out on my action. For 6 tabling, I am getting 70-90% connection. I have chatted with one of my friends and he also told me he is having the same problem.
Oct 24 session was a very huge downsing. I lost $397 in just 1297 hands. During this session I have experience difficulty in connection. Sometimes the game is even delayed. It somehow put me on tilt, specially when my premium cards are getting sucked out.
I was able to recover during my early morning session today. I won $509 918 hands. It went to as high as $700 but I lost some coinflips in my last hands. Avoiding other shortstack on the table took most of my time. Imagine, most of the tables during this time have 3-4 SSS'er.
Current Balance: $3000 (Need to win $1000 to be able to reach monthly goal)
I love pocket pairs!

October is almost over.
I played almost breakeven sessions since I last posted except my morning session today. I was able to find really soft tables.
I will still play my evening session later and I hope I can add some more chips in my bankroll.
I am still $300 short for my balance objective this month and I also need 1034SP to be upgraded to diamond status.
I will soon post my october graph and stats. I really hopre I can grind the remaining $300 to reach the $4K balance.
My evening session was so dry. The most of the tables were filled by atleast 3 sss'er so I had a hardtime doing table selecetion. I decided to call it a day when I only have two tables open and cannot open other juicy tables.
Below is the graph for October.
VPIP: 20
PFR:14.4
AF: 2.4
I was not able to reach the balance objective. I am just $230 short. This month I have lost around $200 in joining scheduled MTTs with buyins of less than $16. If I did not join this tourneys I would've hit my target balance.
It was a good month for me and I hope I can improve these stats and winnings this November
November is just around the corner so I now need to start with my new quest.
November 09 Objectives:
Balance: Win $4500
Bonus: Purchase $650 bonus - needs to earn 20KFPP
PS VIP: Reach Diamond - needs to earn 1034 SP
I am looking forward to another productive month.
Nov 1
Earlier today, I watched NL $400 & $600 FR SSS Live Video created by Greyboy. This video actually inspired me to take a stab in NL400 while mixing it with NL200.
To my surprise I was pretty much comfortable shoving my stack in NL400, it just seemed to me that most of the players were too tight. I end up winning in NL400 but I was crushed in NL200. I played 3 NL400 and 3 NL200 tables (6 tabling).
BTW, I still have one Step4 ticket and I am planning to use it later in Sunday Million.
I have used my step4 ticket in Sunday warm up $750K. I got busted in level 2 where I had AA in button vs KK of SB. Allin preflop and he rivered the K. This just show that I am no good when it comes to MTT.
Nov 2
I am now playing NL200 and NL400. I noticed that most of the players in NL400 are the same regulars in NL200.
My morning winnings gone to waste 
I ended my two morning sessions with +$450 winnings but I played so bad during my evening sessions. I did not notice that I was already on tilt after two of my premium hands were consecutively craked in two different tables. Imagine losing almost $1000 in just 1400 hands.. This is the biggest swing I ever had.
I took a break and freshen up when elephant tracker showed -$540. I am just thankful I was able to recover around 11:00PM onwards (local time).
Nov 3
Long weekend is over, later today, I am back to work. I hope I can still maintain playing atleast 1k hands on weekdays.
November '09 Objectives:
Update as of November 3
Winnings: $766/$4500
Bonus: Purchase $650 bonus - 8K/20KFPP needed
PS VIP: Reach Diamond - needs to earn 1034 SP
Yesterday I sent an email request to PStars about my withdrawal option. I do not want to use click2pay for withdrawal since it is taking so much time and it has a lot of processing fees.
Finally Pstars allowed my account to have bankwire as withdrawal option. They previously told me that I will need to withdraw all the deposits I made using click2pay before they can allow me to use bankwire for withdrawal.
As soon as I get home today I will cash out $2k. Now I can reap the rewards of month long poker game.
