The last two days have been great days for me.

First check this out;

And to whats up;

Yesterday I reached supernova, which I've been trying to do for the last few months.

Today I reached $5.5k, which allows me to cash out $5k via bank wire transfer (ty pokerstars support), and leave myself $500 + 650 bonus I'll clear in just a few thousand more FPP's.

Its been a mission since I started playing again to save enough to move back to Taiwan, to teach english part-time and play poker part-time from home. Now I can make this dream a reality, and start preparing to leave soon.

Its been a really tough grind over the last month, with tons of up and downs, and with LP's help I prevailed. WooHoo!

So, starting tomorrow, I'm going to cash out the vast majority of my bankroll for my airplane ticket, visa, and apartment in Taiwan.

I'll go back down to NL50 and grind back up the limits from there, which will be nice.

In the last week, I've grown 10 fold as a pla<x>yer and have learned the importance of strong preflop play, as well as putting my oponents to tests. But most of all, I started playing the calmest, most patient poker of my life.

So it looks like this is my last month in the good ol USA for a long while, I'll make sure I enjoy it to the fullest.

I learned a ton playing the 6max NL100 - NL200 games as well, which has helped me drastically when I went over to full-ring, handling the aggressive pla<x>yers and isolating / taking pots from weak PF raisers.

Heres my stats from tonight; (my last session on NL200 for probably 2-5 weeks)

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 1111 hands and saw flop:
- 71 out of 144 times while in big blind (49%)
- 18 out of 138 times while in small blind (13%)
- 60 out of 829 times in other positions (7%)
- a total of 149 out of 1111 (13%)
Pots won at showdown - 24 of 32 (75%)
Pots won without showdown - 87

And to all you naysayers out there that were saying "YOUR GONNA GO BROKE", the whole time I would never have let my bankroll go below $3,000, I was making an extreme concious effort to not go wrong where I did in the past.

Now its all about dominating, and NL200 is where my comfort zone was at, which is why thats where I played.

I'm gonna take the rest of the night off,

GL everyone,
Ryan (DReaMe) *still SuperNoVa!
