Update
So sorry I havent posted in awhile. I have certainly not been lacking on the poker playing front, but for some reason I have not felt the need to post. Like Cmh76 I have delved into the cash games to see how well I will do at something completely different. At the same time, I decided to download the software Poker Copilot (specifically for Macs) in order to track my progress and test out this Heads-Up Display that seems to help out a lot of cash gamers. I get a 30 day free trial, which seems like a perfect time to test out cash as a whole anyway. I started out with a roll at 165 and now im looking at a roll with almost 285 in one week. It's been a very positive experience so far and I have never seen this sort of positive consistency ever in the online world.
My system is I play 4 tables of .05/.10 where I buy-in for $8 each. I've received criticism for why I don't do the maximum buy-in (10), but I don't know, I just feel more comfortable this way. So thanks to this program, I'm able to see my bankroll chart, every hand I've ever played, how well I do at every position at the table and so much friggin more! It really is my nerdy poker statistics dream! Anyway, above is my progress, which has had its ups and downs, but always going up so I must be doing something right! I also limp quite a bit and raise about two thirds of the times that I am in a pot. Cash has definitely been really refreshing from the sng and MTT grind.
My goals: If I still can keep on building, once I get to 550, I will take 150 out and buy this cool program then take my gf out to dinner for the remaining 100! I have no idea how to spend 100, given my college kid broke status, but any suggestions will be taken into consideration. Have a good week all!

You can only win so many flips...
So on the eve of my journey to Turningstone, I decided to play a shit ton of online poker to "pre game," shall we say before we depart. I ran like death for most of the night, getting sucked out of 3 and coolered in two sng's and MTT's respectively. However, as I was 3-4 tabling, I noticed that my 5 dollar turbo was going nice and smoothly and that window was just sitting there. I took down an 18 man and decided that I would focus on just this mtt. I final tabled that bitch, but IGH when my K8 couldn't hit against 77's. But here am I looking short as hell at the table. I am very grateful to come in second because I got sucked out once and coolered once when we were already in the money.
ANYWAYY, We are leaving at 2 in the morning and should arrive at around 7. I hope to be coherent enough to stand when I get out of the car, but my vacation has started!
First tourney is a 50 dolla deep stack turbo at noon. HERE WE GO.

BBT4/ I'm a Donk
So I watched a good amount of the action at the final table of the first big event in the BBT4 that I hear so much blogging about. I only watched the final table because I donked out of a large 10 dolla freeze out 35 spots from the money. fml.
Anyway, congrats to Hoyazo for a deep cash. This guy, if you don't know him is a great and consistent blogger. He gets a lot of harp for being pompous from time to time and steamy, but he really is fun to watch and very nice if you need help with anything. He advised me on the proper way to take screenshots awhile back and I recommend his blog to any player and advise to read all of his deep runs that he has posted on his sidebar.
Back to my game, Idk. might need a break until TStone, but no biggy. I will pull through!
