So this week turned out to be ok, I finally passed my $100 bank roll twice (had a downswing).
I fixed a few holes by not raising with hands such as 55 hoping to hit a set etc... I also redefined my betting patterns, instead of doing 4xbb+1per limper I do 5xbb+2per limper and I have gotten paid off a lot more. I think my reading of opponents are getting better since I have been able to fold TPTK when they have 2 pair, or hit a set etc...
Here is my pokertracker picture since I havent gotten PokerGrapher to work, I have yet to see a graph of my success T_T.
Any advice on what I can do to improve my game would be great.
On a note besides poker, I have just bought a new mouse and a new keyboard for my starcraft / poker playing. my old mouse literally has stains (probably from oil on my skin bleaching the paint) and it has lasted me 6 years. So I thought it would be better to get one, plus i got them for free.
until next time... Good Luck for everyone reading this horrible blog

And some music which the name definitely makes sense about my poker. song name = Sweet Misery.
Alright, I haven't been playing as much as I would want. The reason being, 3 days after my last blog post, I had lost 2 buyins at fucking NL2 because of bad beats. JJ vs lucky 35o AA vs Q8o 10js hit a straight (10-A) vs royal flush, and a few others that I dare not to metnion.
Luckily I started again yesterday and went up 4 buy ins (actually as I type this I won 1 more buy in). So make that 5 so not bad.
I am still barely under $100 and I'm hoping to break that today or tomorrow.
Currently I'm playing 5 tables, 4 on NL2 and 1 on NL5. So far it's doing fairly well, I might add another table or two because it's getting fairly boring just 5 tables.
I have had a goal to hit $50 from my initial $20 and after 5 days (~1.2k hands) I have reached it.
check it!
I'm on a roll. Next Goal: $250
Once I hit $250 I will try to move up onto $0.02/$0.05 and go from there.
I'm starting to apply to colleges, and my list currently looks as the following:
Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)
Radford University
Longwood University
Old Dominion University
American University of Rome (AUR)
I hate college essays. I'm going to start to update once a week now, to keep track of my progress, including a post from my poker tracker.
Also, I have a question for those reading, on Pokerstars, I went to Requests > Hand History > Hands in the last 10 hours to get all of the hands I played today. While I was doing this, I had about 456 hands in my current session, however in my email I only got 200. How do I get all of the hands I have played?

BTW anyone who wants 1/2 of my winnings can teach me on NL2.
I will give someone 50% of my winnings if they can get me to win NL2 (yeah i'm noob) until I reach $400 (, that means $200 for you and $200 for my bankroll. All you have to do is get me to win at these small stakes. After every session, I will transfer you half of my winnings.
Do you agree? I have given up on trying to learn by myself. So, please help me, and you get some money out of it.
80% of Single Table SnG games ($1.00 + $0.10) I have cashed either 1st or 2nd, so it is by far more profitable than my $0.50 a day at 1c/2c NL. Where by playing ~5 SnG games (yeah, i know, not a lot)I am making about $12 so it's better for my bankroll at the moment.
