Played about 40min today. Didn't really feel like playing too much, so I didn't, heh. I was up a couple buy ins and lost a little over half of a buy in and decided to call it quits for the night. January still running smoothly 1/3 of the way through. I'm hoping to break through $9,000 by the end of the month but that's still up in the air, obviously. 2,800 more would bring me at 10k profit with only 25 more to go but I think that's pushing it a bit for this month, especially with the few hours that I've been putting in. If I want to make this game my profession I think I need to put in a few more man-hours. It's hard though when you make a few hundred in a day and just feel like calling it quits. Oh well, I'm sure I'll motivate myself somehow.

Played several hours online, started the session really bad and managed to pull out a couple buy ins out of it by the end of the session. Live game was gay, lost 50 bucks or so.

Played 2.5 hrs or so at 1/2 on UB. They have a redeposit bonus for January so i'll probably clear that this week also and that'll be an extra 200 trickled into the bankroll, w00t.

Mm, sort of a Yin and Yang of days. lost too much yesterday and got a lot back today for a total for the last two days of...

Days 39 and 40: -$465

Really not bad to be down only 2.3 buy ins after how poorly I was running/playing on Saturday. These 2 losing days put me at a total of..

$7,405. Not bad for 40 days' work. Looking forward to setting 2007 off to a great start with a high-profit month that i'll have to try pretty hard to top.

Okay, here's the deal, i'm going to attempt to amass a $35,000 bankroll by the end of March 2007. That gives me approximately 4 months. My bankroll, as of today, is $3,600 online after a bit of a downswing (okay, like 15 buy ins at 1/2), and about $1,400 live. Live games i play: Thursday night 1/2 game, saturday extremely soft 2/5 no-max buy in game, tuesdays/fridays occasional 1/2 game.

Now, with my $5,000 bankroll I have a few general rules for myself to follow. For the live games I don't plan on giving myself any kind of bankroll management rules because the games are so soft that I feel like stepping up to the 2/5 game is extremely profitable as everyone at the table is extremely loose (probably 60% vpip). But for online games my bankroll management will be as follows:

$100NL: 25 buyins ($2500 bankroll)
$200NL: 30 buyins ($6000 bankroll)
$400NL: 35 buyins ($14000 bankroll)
$600NL: 40 buyins ($24000 bankroll)
-----
Here, when I reach $35,000, I will withdraw $20,000 and resume play at $400 NL and build back up.
-----
$1000NL: 50 buyins ($50000 bankroll)
$2000NL: 65 buyins ($130000 bankroll)

Today was fairly lame, 2,650 hands and an essentially break even day. Anyways I guess I'll update if i play anymore sessions today.

I played 17/15 today, didnt get many hands but i should probably be closer to 20/18 for next time. More aggression even though it felt like i was hyper aggressive. Who knows, maybe for 100NL this aggression level is okay, i'll have to look into it.

621 hands played

Decided to play some more hands and got in a smaller session of 600 hands. I stopped after I made about 2 buy ins and that makes me a bit happier for the way the day started out. Tonight I plan on going to either my regular 1/2 game which usually has decent action, or I might go out to a 1/2 game about the same distance from my house with a little more action and no cap on the buy in amount. I haven't decided yet, but i'll update this later with a Day 1 part III section.

Hands played today: 68

Played a few rounds, flopped set under set, turned quads and got the money in there, decided to call it a session. Again I may go out later to a live game, should be some real fishies there.
