R to the I

I moved up to NL10 when I had 250, and at the start of this month I anticipated success.

Well...



So now it's back to NL5 for the moment.

I'm still commited as hell to reach my goal of reaching 625 for NL25 (BR management ftw). It felt so sweet to hit 250 for NL10 so I guess I'll nut in my pants when I hit 625 :D

No need for pity posts or anything. I guess this blog post is more to myself, telling me that it's only a temporary setback and I'll make it for sure. Or go busto trying, lol. Nothing to do but keep working hard. In fact I should work harder and watch all the DC vids I dled and put in more hours.

Next blog post only when I reach 625 and invite you to celebrate with me.

Here's to staying hungry...

Ok so, when I stand at traffic crossings I make sure to stand quite a bit away from the curb. Like what if some fool pushes me into traffic?
You have to be smart to survive in this world. Another obvious one is not using public toilets if you don't have to and not touching anything when you actually have to (use feet to flush etc.). A few times I really needed to take a shit in a public toilet so I just assumed a sitting position without touching the seat at all. Ever tried it? A little hard to get things going, but you do get a good thigh workout...

Go ahead and share your tips for survival in this dog-eat-dog world.


Poker-wise, halfway through this month I made a recommitment to playing poker. With an iron will I've got up at 5:30am everyday (most traffic on Stars) to play for 2 hours in my freezing cold room (winter can go to hell) before getting ready to go to work. At night, I read articles and watch some poker vids. I've just made the move to NL10 this week and so far it's going ok. Quite a few coolers like flopped sets (A's and K's) vs flopped and completed straights but what can you do eh.

My goal for July is to play NL10 for 2 hours every weekday and a few more on the weekends, putting in 500 hands per hour so I should end up with about 34k or so hands. Not too bad, considering I work a fulltime job. Will post a graph at end of July when it's actually a decent amount of hands. I dunno why I'm wanting to put this effort into it, I like to think that I have dedication but maybe I'm just a degen that needs to get his fix every day -_-. Anyways, gogogogo to 625 dollars.

Since you've been nice enough to read this, here's a bonus:
You might not know this, but there's a 7 day trial for DeucesCracked which you can cancel at any time before being charged. Only catch is that you must enter your credit card details so you're charged if you go past 7 days. But still, during this time you can pretty much dl as many vids as you want (no DRM or any shit like that). Cool, eh? I went ahead and let them charge me for a month so I can leisurely dl, plus I'm not a cheap bastard.

They got huge arms right? A while ago at my friend's girlfriend's 25th birthday party I made her cry by somehow insinuating that she was fat and dumb. She only cried and didn't punch me so I didn't have my question answered.

Oh well.

Anyway, after replies to my previous blog post I'm taking shots at NL5 with a BR of $170. My first session was negative 16bb (-$3) which is not too bad considering I thought I would lose both my $6 buyins. It feels really fresh, like I'm starting poker again. Raising to 20c at least is like a huge amount to me lol. Hopefully I can get some positive results and not drop down to $150 which is back to NL2 time. Stay tuned for results both from poker and if I decide to go piss off some fat people to answer my burning questions.
