K, enough of this useless whine nobody gives a shit about. I have some good news too. Yesterday I noticed that George Carlin performed a new HBO Special :D. Not as funny as the old ones (especially "Playing with your head" - IT'S A FUCKING MUST, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YOUR LIFE CANNOT BE EVER COMPLETE), but still worth a look IMO.
I had a pretty awesome session today, been up $1100 at one point and that's where it all went to hell :[.
First of all, this hand where no hand that could've beaten me made sense, so I called being sure I'd see a missed FD/SD. + Show Spoiler +

Then another nice story took place. There was this monkey at the table, playing a total retarded 55/35. And I started getting raped by him. Just take a look (the lest hand is kinda tilty, so I stopped playing even tho the fish was still at the table (the session was long so I was pretty fed up with playing anyway)): + Show Spoiler +

Still possible. If I make it, I owe you a beer. I'll probably remember to buy you one if we ever meet.
Non poker-wise stuff:
1. I haven't fully recovered from the minor surgery I had more than 3 weeks ago yet. I hope it won't take too long before I'll be fully fit and can start going to the gym again.
2. Due to #1 I haven't play billiards for 3 weeks and I have an important league match on Saturday. Fortunately, I started playing again on Tuesday and it looks like my form is almost optimal.
3. 1 and a half week from now in a nearby city (Lodz), where some of my friends study, an annual college party is being held. I have no idea what's the equivalent of this thing in other countries, but in Poland it's basically 3 days of partying without any break :D. Music, games, lots of other entertainment and thousands of drunk students on the streets. My pals invited me. Sweet. The best thing is the "Run of death". What happens is each contestant has to drink one beer as quickly as he can after running 400m (one lap) and proceed running afterwards. IIFC, they have to complete 4 or 5 laps. Lots of puking going on. Pure entertainment. I'll get so waisted, LOL. We'll have 20 liters of moonshine made by one of my friends and there are 6-8 of us that will be drinking it. Tough board TBH. Expect some drunk posts in the near future.
Also, I downloaded PT3 beta to see if the HUD is working at Everest (it should), cause a friend of mine told me that he can't see the stats. Unfortunately, I can't make the stats appear either .
Well, at least I've won a bit there in the last 2 days.
Overall, this month is sick great. Up more than $7k already. I might have my first $10k month in May. Wish me luck.
k2o4 and CrownRoyal inspired me to do a Neilly attempt as well. But I decided to take a different approach - push pre-flop with random hands, show them to my opponent and than start pushing a little tighter and hope to suck out/hold. Starting with 1BI from NL50 I decided to play up till NL400.

First of all, I'd like to thank Python217 and gawdawaful for helping me out after my first day at NL200. I greatly appreciate it. I don't know why, but somehow I decided that in order to win at these stakes, I have to change my game, because ABC poker won't work anymore. Well, it's not true. There are lost of regs making moves at me, not even bothering to notice that I always have a hand, cause I'm a nit :D. Anyway, here are the results.
Friday:
Saturday (by far my best day ever, weeeeeeeeeeeee):
PT screenshot:
Doing well so far. Unfortunately, this sample is too small to infer anything. I'll post my results again after 20k hands at this level.
I had to cashout some money, cause I'm having a small operation this Tuesday and I need some money for May, and thus I left myself with exactly $10k on my account.
I've been thinking about it for half an hour and I finally decided that I'm going to play NL200 from now on. If I drop one thousand, I will go back to NL100 and re-grind it.
