Two day's off
TalentedTom, Jun 29 2006
I didn't do any playing today just went out did some shit, tomorrow will be the same - So for the next two days I'm just gonna chill and get ready for the upcoming month. I made 1200 TLB points in just 2 days of playing - I think next month I should be able to win the TLB at least once - So you'll see my preety face at the bottom of Pokerstars HUD next to Joe Hachem. :D
I figure in 7 hard days of playing I should be able to get just under 3000 points, that would be ~420 a day which seems more than achievable.
What was I thinking....

For a reason that I am unable to think of, when I moved to 2/4 I decided to play the Tight-Aggresive style as opposed to the style I've been crusing the 1/2 games with which was a feirce LAG. So about 2 days ago I decided to start playing LAG again and I've been crushing the games since. My 10bb/100 has jumped back to the high teens 18-19bb/100 where it used to be when I was running 1/2NL.
I think the problem was the fact I may have been a little afraid of the new limit. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of losing 1k pots on a daily basis but now that I'm used to the stakes and the swings that come with it, I can comfortably play my usual LAG again 
Today's session was short I didn't feel like playing too long.
831 hands (2/4NL)
29% vpip
+1560
I hope my success continues 
Welcome.

I've been playing poker for a while now (a little over 13-14 months so far) except I didn't make enormous profits untill recently. What I accomplished my first 6-8 months playing I can emulate in less than a week now. Becuase of this I am now taking poker more seriously and I want to see how far I can go with it. My goal is to accumulate at least 100K this summer, I set 100K as a minimim, I do actually expect to make more.
The biggest road-block for me so far has been my school. I am taking mechanical engineering at Ryerson (Toronto, Canada) - that means 6-7 courses every 4 months full of physics, calcalus, programming etc... which means I have to do a ton of work and I'm constantly tired and burned out so I can't play as much as I would like to. Now that it's summer time I'm gonna play "full time" and see where that goes.
Lets see where this goes 
Crazy day

Played about 2000 hands had about 27% vpip. I'm normally pretty stable, winning a few buy ins then losing a big pot and working upward again etc... Today, however, the first 600 hands I played ran into four set vs set (of course each time I lose the maximum) and KK vs AA. So very quickly I see my money dissapear im -$2700 playing $2/4 that's attrocious.
Had a lot of self-doubt at this point, talked to a few people they suggested logging off and starting fresh another day. I didn't know what to make of this so I continued playing. Next ~700 hands im break even, last 700 hands im +$2800 Finally things begin going my way, not that it was all skill - I did suckout a few times, but I feel that was only to balance out the bs that happened earlier. After all everything balances out over time.
Day total : +100 Memorable hands:
