For the last 2 weeks I have had an insane headache, and it gradually gets worse at night. (They start at around 8:00 pm, and get worse and worse even after tylonal until i fall asleep at 2-3 am)
But today I'm happy, sucked ass at NL10 down 4 buyins, so i played a few donkaments after watchin a grinderschool vid (thx to those posted in my last blog post)

This is the song I listened to for my final table. I LOVE IT!!!
Well... I've been seriously thinking about buying a 1 yr membership there, but I don't think it would really help me at the moment. I only just started NL10, and I'm doing really bad at it. I'm down 3 buyins at it in the last 2 days. Would Cardrunners help my game in this small of limits? If not, what limit would it be good to purchase a membership?

I gave a shot at NL10 yesterday and did very poorly. I'll do again later tonight.
Alright, so Xmas went alright, this is what happened.
Woke up at about 9:00 am and stretched and realized it was christmas. oh shit I thought, as I remembered I didn't wrap the presents I bought my family.
My mom: AutoBiography of Santa Clause $12.25
My dad: The Bourne Ultimatum $19.95
My sister: $20 gift card to star bucks
My little Brother: The Orange Box for PC $29.99 (1/2 discount cuz my friend works at gamestop)
My older sister: Skull Candy Headphones $29.99
Total Money spent on gifts: $92.18
So I quickly wrap the presents in used wrapping paper, and log onto Pokerstars. Current Bankroll: $199.90 So I load up my 9 NL5 tables and donk it out for 30 minutes when I run like god and hit $237.15 So I take a shower and head downstairs, eat some eggs/ham that my mom made for the holiday.
We exchange gifts and I get: Nikon P5100 camera, Super Mario Galaxy, Microsoft Zune 80 gb, and best buy gift certificates totaling ~$100.
I get back onto Pokerstars and play for 2k hands and run like shit, only making four dollars. w/e still up for the day, its good.
I watch some old movie on HBO and fall asleep. Great xmas.
So today, I log onto pokerstars at about 11:30 am to try my game at NL10. down $8 in 50 hands. sick. I get my haircut and come back to realize my last check from my old job (I quit 2 months ago).
+$720
I log onto SC to play some games on ICCUP and donk out a few kids with my zerg (my worst race ever). Up 11-2 with my Z. sick.
In the middle of my last game TvP vs NaigelZZZ (or somethin) and my mouse dies. It stops moving. The cursor doesn't move at all. It's dead. fuck. I've had this mouse for 4 years and it just dies. In the middle of a TvP. wtf... So I pause the game, grab some ghetto ball mouse and finish the game for a win. GEE GEE
I go to the bank and cash my check.
PICTURE
I attempt to log back into Pokerstars but my keyboard fails. My keyboard is the most ghetto piece of shit you've ever seen. I literally tape the keyboard's cord to stop it from disconnecting every 5 seconds. However, no matter how much tape I add this time, it just won't work.
So I grab my old ghetto compaq keyboard from 1990's and plug it in to type this up. Tomorrow I'm going to go to bestbuy and buy a new mouse and a new keyboard. Maybe some speakers too, because they're dying too. fuck.
BTW I have to give a shout to Kwark for showing the ways of NL2 and NL5 I'd be nowhere and be still with my $18.50 bankroll.
and yeah, this is also a brag psot about my camera. 12.1 megapixels bitch!
Thats right everyone, I will be heading out for Paris, France in the last week of March. I will be visiting with my family and probably during that week head out and visit Rome and London. I will be 18 so maybe I'll sit in a card room if my skills get up and ready.
My sister is leaving for Paris to study at the American Business School in Paris for the spring semester. any ideas of what to do once in the french country? I bought Rosetta Stone French so I would at least be able to ask where the bathroom is in their language.
P.S. I hate my internet connection was up 1 buy in, and I was dealt 1010 1 guy goes all in (30 cents, on NL5) One other caller
Flop: 9910 Full House
gonna check raise... so I check.
Caller #2 leads out with like $0.75
Internet disconnects for 10 minutes. It auto-folds. OMG @#$ERGHE#$R@#$
up about $25 today tho... petty money to many of you high ballers, so w.e
I was a little dumb before, and very fishy. I think I fixed a few holes since then, and played 2 days of which I made about $80 at NL2 in about 3k hands.
This is from today, I started at 8:55 am and ended at 9:55 am just to see how much $ I could make in an hour. I was quite surprised on what I got. I played sickly well or I was on a sick heater. (probably the latter)
Recently I have moved up to NL5 with a BR of $100. I know it's probably not a smart move, but I just couldn't take people calling all-ins 84o with AK10 on the board, and catching 4 and 8 on the turn/river. It just annoyed me. As much as people here like to say, NL2, NL5, and NL10 all suck. As that may be, I would like to say, I suck too. NL5 is better, and easier in my opinion. The only part is getting used to the higher blinds and raises. After that, it is pretty much clear sailing. It is easier to put them on pairs, since they are not going all in with absolute trash. Instead, they go all in with bottom pair!
Here is my pokertracker from the last week
So far, I have only played 350 hands today, and I am up about $15, and yesterday I played a total of 2k hands and I made $26.
I was a little lucky in 1 hand which played out as I had 1010 and flop was 3 5 6, i pot sized, he called, turn made it 3 5 6 [J] i potsized again, he called, and river came down another 10. He went all in, I instacalled and he turned over 33. up $5.75 in that hand.
Maybe I'm a luckbox, which Kwark calls me. Oh well, as long as the money keeps coming my way, I have no problems with it.
