Day 3
thewh00sel, Dec 07 2006
Today: +$778
To date: +$1302
To go: $33,698
1,250 hands played, ran well today, my hands were holding up and I was getting paid off for the most part. good 6.8 buy in day, hopefully i'll be moving up to 1/2 soon. I've decided that I won't be moving up to 1/2 until I actually have $6,000 online, so i won't be including my live bankroll, whatever I make there I will still add to the challenge, but it won't factor into which limits I play online. So as it stands my online bankroll is up to $4,633. 14 more buy ins until I jump up to the 1/2 game. I've been playing only at pokerstars so I won't be getting any kind of rakeback or anything like that, but hopefully I can just gain a lot of FPPs and move up the VIP ranks in the coming months.
edit: i went to a live game and made $100, so i just added that in.
Day 4
thewh00sel, Dec 08 2006
Today: +$108
To date: +$1410
To go: $33,590
Played 974 hands
Was running mediocre, wasnt getting sucked out on, essentially just grinded up on every table. I played an $11 rebuy turbo to a $650 PCA qualifier but i just donked off my 31$ there. Pretty short session, I may play more later today, idk.
Day 4 part II
thewh00sel, Dec 08 2006
I joined 2 tournaments, the 35k guaranteed 11$ rebuy and an 8.80$ nlhe tournament. I'm out of the 8.80 and im in for 30 in the rebuy so there's -$39 if I don't place in it. I'll update later but for now that makes total profit $1371
Finished last cash place in the 10rebuy makes it 34 profit for the day so...$1444 overall profit
Day 5
thewh00sel, Dec 09 2006
Today: +$238
To date: $1682
To go: $33,318
MTT day today, lost $112 in several small tournaments and a couple satelites.
That makes it $1332 profit overall, going out to the $2/$5 game today, i'll update when I get back.
Went to the 2/5 game, made $200, played AA really badly one hand, here's how it went down.
UTG raises to $10, next guy reraises to $40, I call in the SB with [As Ah], UTG calls.
Flop is [Ad 9d 6d]. I bet out $60, UTG calls, reraiser goes all in for 150, I call, UTG calls
Turn is  , I check, UTG checks
River  , I check, UTG checks, he has Ac Qd
I feel like I really shouldve bet this for value and to get him to call without odds to hit a flush. I couldve squeezed an extra 200-350$ out of this guy bc he was really loose passive but I was just checking and praying for a boat. I think I need to be betting and don't start hoping for a boat until there are 4 diamonds out there. I played this hand like a bitch and lost a lot of value that I should have gotten out of it. Even if I did check the turn I think i have to bet the river to get paid off by anything. I mean I have top set and there's no sidepot and he showed no aggression on the turn. This hand was just played pretty badly by me. >_< oh well. I made $200 at the game and called it a night. I was chopping 20% with 2 other guys there and they were up more than I was so I should be getting more but for now we'll call today a +$88 day since I lost all the tournaments that I was in...I added everything up. +$238 for the day.
Day 6
thewh00sel, Dec 10 2006
Another MTT day. Played satellites all morning and won 3 qualifiers for the sunday million, so i'll be playing in that + I have $295 profit from playing the qualifiers so i'm freerolling in the sunday million, I'll update if I cash in it.
Today: +$284
To date: +$1,977
To go: $33,023
Day 7
thewh00sel, Dec 11 2006
Today: -$91
To date: $1886
To go: $33114
Eh, lost about 120 bucks in MTTs and sats today and won ~25-30 dollars playing 2 tables of .5/1.00.
Didn't really feel like playing much. Probably go out tomorrow night/thurs night and play in the live games and really try to up the live bankroll so that I can play more aggressive in this week's Saturday game. we'll see how the cards come out though.
On a happy note, after my first 7 days of the challenge I'm up almost 19 buy ins and i'm currently beating NL100 for 10.10 BB/100 hands. I think that Im going to try to create an UltimateBet account with rakeback in the coming weeks/days. I already have an account there, but i'd like one with rakeback. The mid-stakes games just look really juicy with ~40% avg players/flop in the short handed games. I'll probably move there when I hit $1/$2.
So, how much more until 1/2 you ask? 10 more buy ins 'til the bankroll hits 6k, so i'm expecting to be there by the end of next week at the rate I'm going. I'm going to try to play more hands and grind out the cash games, I've been slacking the last couple days.
Day 8
thewh00sel, Dec 12 2006
Man, I have not felt like playing lately. I've played ~200 hands today and I'm ready to be done for the day. I made a little money, but I'll probably be going out to the 1/2 game tonight to see if I can boost my live bankroll a bit. I plan on really playing tight and hoping to pick some good spots. Anyways, today went like this online (I added the $395 i made today live):
Today: +$621
To date: $2,507
To go: $32,493
I guess I did a little better than I thought. plus 2.25 buy-ins and I broke the 2k barrier. 8ish more buyins before 1/2 online. w00t.
Online Bankroll: $5,200.
Live Bankroll: $1,800 (and I have $600 loaned out so i guess technically $2,400).
ps: I need to stop taking cash out of my roll to pay for stuff.
also, I have my new monitor coming in today i hope, so I can replace my old LCD which is turning green for some reason so i can multitable more again.
Day 9
thewh00sel, Dec 13 2006
Today: $289
To date: $2,796

580 hands played.
Ran well for ~600 hands and called it a +3 buy in day. Not bad. I really need to dedicate more time to playing i think. Oh well.
5.5 buy ins until 1/2.
