2nd post of the day.

While waiting for my girlfriend to get back from work I played poker for a little bit as I watched some movies. I scored again, just not so big this time. I had a downswing of about $4, however I decided to hang in there and it payed off.

I need some way to chart my progress. Any suggestions?

I'm back.

Hey everyone... or no one at all. Based on the reports I get e-mailed to me there are still 1 or 2 of you that are keeping an eye on my blog every once in a while. I figured it was time to get back into blogging about poker.

I quickly cashed out after my last post in an effort to retain some of my money to pay bills since I had lost my job. I found a new job and I have been there ever since. About 2 weeks ago I started playing poker again. However I didn't deposit anything. I began by playing freerolls.

About 10 freerolls in, I had $0.40 to start playing some actual cash games on Full Tilt. That $0.40 quickly evaporated and so it was back to freerolls. Mind you, I was playing these in my spare time so it wasn't the easiest thing in the world to find the time to be on schedule with the freerolls. After another 10 or so I had enough money to play in some more cash games.

Luck has been with me. I was playing at the $0.01/$0.02 tables initially and managed to get my bankroll up to around $8. I decided yesterday to give the next highest tables a go with the minimum buy-in, which is $1. I pulled myself up to about $13.00(I don't know the exact amount. I didn't decide until today to actually start keeping track). This morning at about 9am I started playing in a cash game and I was hanging steady around $3.00 for about 2 hours. I hit a good run and turned my $3 into $22. My bankroll is currently up to $33.95 and I couldn't be happier. I'm going to stick with these $0.02/0.05 games for a while to see if this will continue. If I manage to hit $100 I'm going to consider moving up my game to the next highest stakes.

I'd love to hear some feedback from anyone who is still eyeballing my blog. Great to be back!

Fired from my job

Today I was fired from my job that I've been at for over 1 year.

I played a tourney for 5$ out of anger when I should have been playing for one. It turned out in my favor.



And here is a replay of the hand. Please let me know how you would have played it. I didn't really know what to do.
