Well, it's been a week of ups n downs... I started off with some DoN and won 5 of 6 of them... then I stretched and tried a $50+$4 Don, lost. Tried to join a PL Omaha table at a stake to high and lost $123.20 at that one...
I did manage to cash in the monthly 100K freeroll. Only $20 though.
Basically, I lost a little over half my bankroll. I'm now down to $261.01. A loss of $193.05 over the weekend.
I look forward to playing more during the week and maybe staying away from the weekend.
On the plus side, I have 31 VPP (Vip Player Points). All I need is to get those 31 before December 31st and I get a bonus $10 *LOL* I think I shall this week.
Though I have to admit, after losing nearly $200 this week, $10 doesn't seem to be very much.
Well, that's about all I have.

I didn't play much over the weekend. My best friend was visiting. Though He got here and took a short nap (got up real early and got here in about 6 hours). So I jumped in a $10 tournament. I ended up cashing for a profit of $7.47.
Friday night jumped on a $.10/$.25 table and had a profit of $17.25.
Saturday morn, didn't have much time before breakfast. Got about $1 profit.
So Sunday I did the Daily 30K and missed the cash by 47. I also got into the Sunday 1/4 million but didn't even make it to registration closed. Not even sure how I lost my stack *LOL*
So I'm up +$25 and spent $22 in Sunday tournaments.
But I look forward to playing more. I'm thinking of trying to play more. I will be home alone this week and thinking of resting after work and then getting on to play some 5-6 hours. Which means staying up late. Maybe one tournament and cash games to try and build.

Happy Pi Day everyone!
I haven't been running to good the last couple of weeks. Though I think I did added on Tuesday.
Friday and Saturday weren't to good for me. But I was in a mood to play today and I decided to go for the Daily 30K tournament. $11 buy-in. I almost lasted till the second break.
Which just in time for the Sunday 1/4 million. Which I did last in. At one point I was down to about $285. Sb and ante would have taken $250. So I went all in and rivered to double up. Couple hands later I shoved and got more chips...about $2k. So long story short, I lasted to make $32 profit, which is $10 profit on the day.
I think I'm about $4 short on the week.
But there is always next week to make more.

Decided to use dates to keep up to date on how often I will post.
Not much to talk about this week. Had some ups n downs. But happily I added at the end of the week.
It started with 1,000 fpp hyper-turbo satellite. 6 people and 2 people get the ticket that can only be used for the TT. I won that one.
19,379 started. 5,000 payed. I finished 4147th for $81.15 to more than double my bankroll from $60 to $141.
So basically I am pondering doing $1 or $5 SnG. I know the $5 should be with $200 bankroll. But it's so much better to play that and get $22.50 for first compared to $4.50 for a $1 sng
So now it's up to carving out time to play more often. I look forward to it.

2nd time
Ok, I guess the secret to this is post every week.
I really don't have much to report as I donked off my bankroll the last couple of weeks.
So I was reduced to free roll (tournaments with no buy-in to win a ticket to Round 2 for the cash). But being a free roll it is to hard to care. Maybe I'm to conceited at thinking myself above playing for free. But because they are free, you can't scare anyone out. So play of the table dictates that you use a tight strategy. Which will, at least, usually make you top 50% of the 9,000 that started.
But things are better. Good ol' pay day. Sadly I am only able to put $35 this week in to get me started. I think I will have to play $.01/$.02 tables. Maybe I will try to multi-table by opening 3 tables at once. I still don't expect to make many VPP, just need to win more money.
I will be able to to put $35 in 5 more times over the next 10 weeks or so. Give me a respectable $210 bankroll to move me up to $5 SnG.
I also have a plan in action this year. To save up my money so that at the end of the year I should have a bankroll of $700-$800 with enough to pay bills for 6 months. So that, by next January I will be able to use the first 6 months of the year to make a serious run and becoming a true on-line player. If that fails, then back to work and poker will be a recreation.

End of Month 1
I keep trying to get this started, and forgetting my password. So here I try again.
Anyway, I'm a poker player. Admittance is first step to recovery right? Well, I don't want to recover. Somehow this is my dream now. What i wish to do and what I wish to use to make money. I don't care about the fame. I won't be the world's youngest PokerPlayer, I probably won't even have a nickname. I don't desire to be the PokerBrat. I just want to be able to have financial security in a world that doesn't have it.
So anyway I want to update with my progess...
Anyway, I primarily play on PokerStars. You can find me to say hello, I'm open to making friends on there.
I cashed out some FPP from last year, and used them to play 5400 FPP satellites to the Sunday Million. I didn't win the hyperturbo, but did win a regular 10-person one where the top 4 get the T(Tournament)$215. Plus selling something to a friend for another $50 on there. And a couple wins since then has me up to a Bankroll of $299.
Challenges seem to be all the rage, but I'm not quite ready for one of those. I do work 44 hours/ week and don't have as much time as I'd like to do one of those challenges.
I'll post after some more tournaments.
