up for the month but goals didnt hit
whamm!, Dec 25 2007
well i was up for this month playing 25nl from both ub(6max) and stars(9maxfr). won like 30bi on each site. somehow last week was kinda slow and bad luck obv took charge so im breaking even after running fairly decent. ive can hit platinum status by the end of the year if i keep playing 50nl fr 12 to 18 tabling, but since things havent been going my way i think im moving back to ub to check the action there (looser imho en at fr) my roll is i think around 2300 to 2400ish so im pretty much happy since ive rebuilt my roll from 600 last november 15 after withdrawing almost 80% of my roll and making a personal challenge to try and rebuild before 2008 comes. ive realized that i have a lot of leaks to fix and i must play a little looser and control myself when running bad while doing it. that has been my problem for the longest time and im trying my best to work on it. hope the coming year is good for everyone here. merry christmas!
im confused

well played again stars after a relatively slow slow week, won back 2bi and got bonus so yest loss was recovered thank god. i dont think i can make platinum by end of the month but ill try. this weeks kinda busy and i dont know if i can play that many hands, although ive been 18 tabling recently with nice results. i think ill play 18tables from now on to get fpps faster. fuck playing with a high winrate this is microstakes ffs. ive been here since forever lol. i think ill move to ub if things dont go very well this week despite me being up here no rakeback just sux sometimes.
going back to UB

stars just hates me lately. ALL my aa kk lost for two days now to silly loose calls and donkshoves pf. played it properly pf got it in too but gg.
i lost very little maybe 5bi total but i don't seem to run good anymore here lately... going for my last 50usd bonus today then leaving immediately for the reload bonus and rakeback. ill settle with 9 tabling fr there and go for rakeback instead of fpping the microstakes which is kind of pointless. oh well at least i won around 600 at stars for the first time ever. roll is like 2300 and ill be playing 50nl fr there at UB instead coz it seems softer there and i run like a god there. also my computer is fixed and i dont have problems with UB anymore regarding the cashier windows,sudden freezes etc. wish me luck bye.
omg variance sux
whamm!, Dec 20 2007
Been losing a ton to flips to short/semishortstacks , im running fairly "abnormally" lately. favorites usually get sucked out on. i think i also have been playing pps with unraised pots more often than usual. aa kk doesnt seem to get the job done also. i can safely say that ive been playing relatively tight, but some spots way too predictable and weak. didnt lose any this week but variance just sucks ass. my winrate has been horrible the past 20k hands. i just hope everything runs by the "percentages" next time and for sure I can run a solid 20 to 30 buyin week like the usual at 25nl coz it's just way too ez. doesnt have to be pure luck at all, just avoid being unlucky and shit.
just bought the 50usd bonus now, hope this helps for the bad day. 
just 3kfpp to go before platinum then i move to 50nl asap. yay!
decent day, sudden surge towards end
whamm!, Dec 20 2007
won 3bi today all at my last two orbits . the whole session was just hardcore variance and just spewed a ton coz of my nittiness (i think) lost most of my kk and aa to retarded half stacked fucks who race and win to a large reraise pf like 12bbs lol. everything was really bad and folding bad spots really help keep things afloat the whole session. i really am working on control nowadays to get a more consistent and progressive growth, so far it is really paying off. this was my last hand played where i won, then i thought: "if im gonna win at poker today with these types of hands, im just gonna think this is all there is to it." so i just decided to stop for the day being up already. ive had enough stupidity for one day. lol

today is a little better...
whamm!, Dec 19 2007
well won back exactly what ive lost yesterday. yest was pretty ridiculous to say the least. i can't continue playing after almost 2500 hands since i feel that the spots im usually given are really sick and cbets usually dont work etc. i just decided to give up for the day anyway i broke even from yest so i think it's a pretty darn good spot to stop with a decent session starting to smell bad. im still setting my eyes on the platinum level by the end of december and get my 50 bonus by friday so that i can go to 50nl by january with a hopefully 50plus bi roll. gtg and goodluck to all.
variance ugh
whamm!, Dec 17 2007
today was especially bad. vs halfstacks i usually go broke with tptk on a non scary board on the turn esp if i have position, but omg villains had sets practically every fucking time lol. not even halfstacked ones, just the 1/3 stack ones, i couldnt believe it. hand of the day was aces with i raised 12bb from blinds with 3 limpers and 2 guys quickly call, then a low card flush draw flop wherein i just shoved flop, hoping to get a call from jj 1010 qq kk, well the set(77) called so gg.
spew of the day was a midpair ace flush draw on flop on an unraised pot. my mistake for just getting it in right there.
other than that today was just variance day for running very decent the past 3 days. ill play another session later in the day and check if things have leveled off after 4k hands of bad spots for me, thank god the 50usd bonus cushioned the 3bi loss today. gtg.
kind of enjoying grinding fr here
whamm!, Dec 17 2007
so far ive been playing a ton of 25nl fr at stars. im nearing the platinum level and i plan to get the 50$ bonus every time. after 14k hands won 300 usd so im nearing my goal of 60bi for 50nl fr. i hope by that time i can sustain a nice winrate there coz i plan to play nonstop from hereon. well at least 3 to 4k hands a day to reach supernova by june 12tabling fr. variance at fr is kinda better than 6max which kinda tilts me at times at stars.
grinding $$ again
whamm!, Dec 16 2007
well i started another session immediately after waking up at around 10am(played 4k hands up till 4AM and won like half a buyin but the variance was sick sick)
*1st session = variance at fr is uncommon, but this was so sick, almost folded a set at one time (25nl) so flatcalled instead and yeah qq boat at flop me 44 ^^ saved me almost a buyin
2nd hand couldnt stand to fold/flatcall a raise at the river after no action whatsoever on a rr pot with 1 face card on flop again with me getting sets at the turn.
lost a lot of flips to semi shorties but soldiered on and won around 2bi after 3hours 12tabling
*2nd session= still nothing changed, variance still pretty brutal at pstars fr for me lately, just played on seemingly monkey rage mode for 2 hours and still ended up winning 2bi. 
so im pretty happy playing 4k hands today and ended up still winning with no superuser luck involved, just pure grinding. almost tilted at one time but just got my senses together and did some air sucking lol
i hope i can keep this new sense of control, i think i can keep this up coz ive been like this for a month now, playing through variance is hard esp for me who thinks online poker owes me shit lol
not running well lately
whamm!, Dec 15 2007
well heaters end, now it's back to the good 'ol sickness. lost a couple yesterday, tried playing today won just half a buyin after almost 4k hands. im definitely not playing my a game at 18tables no matter how hard i try. 12 for me is just enough that i can fold obv losers and can easily afford to stick it allin when i feel im ahead and not worry about constantly getting 2 outered. i think ill play a lot this week and see where it takes me. bye
im sticking to 25nl even though im rolled for 50nl though, coz i think it has something to do with me worrying about building a br for a higher limit and just watch it diminish at twice the rate, so playing 60bi for me i feel is very good, because im kind of paranoid when im just rolled for 30bi and the suckouts come. bye.
