1k to 200k in 60 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just found a link to another blog by some guy who plays 10/20-25/50 and he is going to try and do this based on SBRugby aka ABA20 (Brian Townseads) BR managment theory if he had to do this. Pretty much he is starting w 1k and going to play until he has 9 buyins for the next level starting at 100nl and then move up and if he drops down to 8 buyins for the lower level then he will drop back limits ie. 100nl until $1800br then 200nl but if he drops back town to an $800br then he will go back to 100nl. It seems like it could possibly be done but im not sure. He seems like a pretty solid played just from looking at his PT stats and it should be really fun to watch. Anyways I added his link so check it out.
Some live play and a FT
I ended up leaving because my roommate went bust again, I have never seen someone on the ass end of variance for so long. I mean I'm not being biased because we are friends, he is pretty good actually but tonight he got AA 5 times and won only twice and the final hand was all in preflop and he was called by 3c8c and flopped and turned an A for trips but ended up losing to running clubs.
I played in the 2:30 tourney on absolute that had 122 ppl in it and i busted 4th for $44 after i pushed on a club draw and ran into AJ after the A high flop. I think i am going to start playing the $20 sngs seeing that im rolled for them now. I played in one today that was just ridiculous.... we were in the money after just 14 hands. I was the only one that didn't even see a flop and i cashed so it was pretty cool. I had 1440 in chips and the other guys had like 3k and 8.5k, I ended up taking first after having some good reads and some hands hold after just 27 hands.
Bankroll
Absolute: $619
Bodog: $57
Also if anyone wants to trade me $475 on Stars or FT i will give you $500 on Absolute or something along the lines of that.

Ups Downs and Slowrolls
I had downloaded Bodog a long time ago and played there for a while but i didn't really like the interface so left but now that they have some really good tourneys and some really easy satellites i figured id give it a shot. I decided thought that i was going to start from scratch pretty much and do what i used to do when i deposited before i really got the whole concept of the game. I only put on $25 and was going to play the cheap-seats tourney in to the 6 handed satellite for the Sunday 100k guaranteed. Well i saw that they now have $3.50 tournament dollar SnGs so i decided to play those and see what i could do. These are rather fun to play actually since its a 10 person table and it pays 1st: $27 tourney dollars and 2nd/3rd both get their buy ins back. I played 3 at a time to start of and i won the first two and got 2nd in the last one so i was doing pretty good. Then the bug got me and i decided that since Bodog is notorious for soft cash games i decided to play and sit with the rest of my money at 25nl. WELL............... After about 20 min of play i think that i had around $38 and then i got all in preflop with AA to J9soooooooooted and lost to trip jacks which is always good for the last bit of cash i was gonna deposit. I still had $54 in tourney dollars so i was going to play some sngs but realised that that you cant use them for sngs so i am going to have to wait until there is a good tourney tomorrow night.
Now for Absolute.... i had $505.68 to start the day( i remember the change because i hate going below whole #s and had just enough to play a $5.25 HU) and i won the HU sng and then i played a $10 HU sng and lost that. So i was at an even $500 and sat w half a buy in at 100nl and got it up to almost a full buy in after about 45 min...but what kind of blog entry would this be without my daily bad beat for a large sum of money??? I got AA(yes the same hand i busted on Bodog with) in the BB and the guy utg raised to $4 and there was 3 callers and the button re raised to $10, it gets to me and i figure that i need to make it a big raise to make the trash hands fold so i make it $27 to go and it folds to the button. He thinks for a while and then shoves the rest of his/ my stack and i insta call. He flips QQ and i know already that I'm gonna lose because every time i get AA cracked on this site it is always by QQ( remember the hole in my wall) well it bricks all the way to the river and then there it was, a beautiful Q to end my good run at 100nl for the day. It would have been nice to sit with half a buy in and leave with two full buy ins but oh well. I have really been trying to work on my tilt control and know that i am always going to take bad beats and not let them affect me and today was no different. I just closed the table and sat there for a while. Now my roommate on the other hand is/ has been on the ass end of variance for a while now and has already gone through about 4 mice since we first moved in.lol
After the suck out in the cash game i played in a $40 sng and played pretty well for the first couple of rounds. I think when it was 75/150 i made a play at a pot and got called down on it and left myself with 300 chips but i ended up coming in second for $108 so it evened out my day. The guy that i played when it was HU was pretty terrible IMO and was playing pretty much ATC so it was tough to put him on a hand. For example i raised from the button with 1010 and he called me w 24s and flopped trips and rivered a boat but i got away from it cheap because there was a Q on the flop. He ended up beating me when i got it all in on the turn with a set of 6s and he slow rolls me with a straight, keep in mind that i raised preflop 5xBB and C raised the flop and he hit a straight on the turn with 47o.

FT coolers and new "style" for cash games
Also i played some .50/1 and i have been trying a new "style" i guess you can call it. I normally love set mining in cash games and limping to trap w strong hands but today i sat w 50 and ended up leaving w $147. The only thing i did different was not limping, if i wanted to play a hand i was raising it 3x-5x depending on my position. I figured that if my hand wasn't good enough to raise with i wasn't going to play it which seemed to work pretty well. Also i gave my roommate $50 more today and he actually didn't lose it all in one session...he is down to $18 but what can i do???lol

Can think of a title
Over all for this month so far i am down $35 in tourneys so that doesn't make me to happy especially since when ever i get close to a big score i either screw up or take a bad beat...ie last post. So I'm sitting @200 right now and might multitable cash games right now but I'm not sure.

Starting over
Also i have found some pretty good live games through pokerpal.org. I'm going to play in a 1/2 nl game tonight and it has a lot better rake% then my last regular game plus they are making BBQ so it should be good, also the guy emphasised "fun" so I'm thinking the game should be pretty soft. I also found a pretty good tourney, it is a $25 buy in w $15 re buys for the first hour. Then to make it really fun the blind levels are are 90 min. long so it seems like a good structure since there is usually 45-65ppl I'm told.

Cash Games
By now i am really mad an want to just sit at a $2/$4 nl game but decide to sit w $60 at a $100nl table and i accidently hit the post BB button from utg and im dealt AA and make it $4 guy to my left makes it $9 so i reraise again to $24 he shoves andi call. He flips QQ and my AA hold for a nice double. Guy starts talking shit about how the site is rigged and that he was gonna get the money back from me anyways so i gave him the rounders " young man in for a quickie" line and left the table. I was sorta mad though because i wanted to sit w a full buyin and my roommate talked me out of it, had i done that then i would have now had a $400 roll sinc ethe guy still had $40 left behind
Day 2
Daily Profit : 18.71

To the person who left the comment on my Day 1 post
Slowrolled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a FT bubble
I'm down to 175 in chips and blinds are at 400/800 and I'm allin in SB and double, then i push again next hand and triple, 2 ppl go out at the other table and I'm wondering if I'm about to make the best comeback in history. Blinds raise to 500/1000 and i push again i double once more w 77 and i do this for the next two hand also but ppl fold instead. So i am sitting w @5k and blinds still the same and there is 10 left i get AQ on the button and utg raises min so i push and then i get min raised by SB, utg calls and they check the Ahigh flop to the river 8 when SB bet pot and I'm thinking if he doesn't have AK I'm back in 5th place but instead he turns over 88 for trips on the river and i want to break my fucking computer so bad I'm out in 10, oh yeah not to mention that when i was allin the SS of the tourney pushed on the other table w K10 and gets called by KK......what do you think the flop was **DING DING DING* your prob right AQJ for the nuts. So technically i take two bad beats and one of them I'm not even in the hand for one of them

Yesterday and today
Today i was pretty happy because i rivered a $40 pot w 57s when i limped on the button and the BB raised it to $1.25 and there was 7 callers so i figured what the hell. Flop came 9sKx2s guy bets3 and this time there was only 3 callers so a lot of dead money in the pot i make a very loose call and turn comes a 6H guy bets 4 and there was around 26 in the pot at the time so i figured : 4 to win 26...seems pretty good, then river comes a As which makes me happy knowing that someone wasn't at least calling down also w AsXs and i think any other suited hand would be i the muck already. Guy raises to X amount and i push for 11 more and he starts typing all this shit how he knows i was calling him down w the Ks and some trash, he is saying shit the whole time until his time is up and i show him the 7high flush and proceed with the usual needling when someone talks shit. After that i played some HU Sngs and won 4/5. I think that is all i played since i found a link to a free card runners video by BoostedJ( high stakes cash player on full tilt) and fell asleep watching it around 12:30 and just woke up and its still on.
PS. I love you Laurie.............Happy?
