My last blog post was about how I tilted off $4k.

I'm proud to say that, after being invigorated with a new sense of urgency, motivation, and passion to win, I am now almost break even .
I started my new revival on 8/09 and since then I've played 26k hands (when prior to this I only averaged only 20k hands/month LOL), at 100nl (to rebuild my roll to a respectable level) and 200nl only. There were many times where I almost lost hope, in my ability to succeed, and in my future as a poker pla<x>yer. As you can see, after the tilt session there were numerous sessions where I'd lose more or just go back to my starting point all over again.
However, I stuck through it and now I'm back . Additionally, I made a stake bet with my teacher that with the 1k he gave me, I either had to turn it into a 5000 dollar profit (RB and stake money not included obv) or I'd have to ship back 1500 (otherwise I get to keep 200 of the stake rofl what a shitty stake bet). I think I was a bit delusional when I made that bet, but I'm only 700 away from making it now and about 11 days ahead of schedule . ANDDDD I finally got enough points to get an 80gig ipod (80k ftpoints). It's deducted from my MGR of course, but it's still nice to just have it appear in the mail for me. For those interested, the calculations (if I did them right) come out to me getting the ipod for only like 108 dollars, as opposed to the 250 dollar retail or w/e.
Congrats to me, and thanks for the people that had replied to my hand threads on the right sidebar throughout my numerous rollercoaster sessions.
Variance: At beginning of summer, was planning on being at 400nl by the start of Fall Quarter. Doesn't look that way anymore, but I'm still fine with that
