New computer was purchased today. New limit has been reached. And a new personal record for bad beats in one session has been achieved. Sweet!
So this was a good weekend for poker despite a series of painful bad beats. I've never had so many sets lose, and had so many hands go painfully in 1 session. 8 tough loses in the course of about 2 hours left me on the verge of tilt. Somehow I was able to get myself together and make back the losses plus 1 buy-in for a winning session. That's what happens on laggy tables on a Friday night!
I know I know... don't post your bad beats. But this is special to me, cause I've never had so many in one session.
<center>NEW LAPTOP!!!</center>
 
I've managed to keep the same Dell Latitude for the last 5.5 years... that's a long time for 1 laptop. But it is old and crappy now, and multi-tabling with PAH and PT running turns into a lagfest. It's time to upgrade and I was able to find a steal of a deal on the Dell Refurbished site. I wanted to buy something for less than $1,000 but the specs I wanted were not materializing for less than $1,300. I was about to give up and just go for something worse when I found this beautiful Vostro that had been scratched... that scratch saved me $800.
| | Here are the spec's on my new baby:
-Vostro 1700 Notebook: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 (2.0GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
-8X DVD +/- RW w/dbl la<x>yer write capability
-Genuine Windows Vista Business
-9 Cell Primary Battery
-160 GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
-Bluetooth Wireless Card 355
-17 inch Wide Screen XGA+ Notebook Screen
-2 GB DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz (2 DIMMs)
-Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n Mini Card
-256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT |

So I hit a bunch of idiotic hands. Then I also hit a few where I don't know where I went wrong, or how to play it better. Let's look at those first... and hopefully someone will give some advice in the comments.
The weekend came out well though with a total of 6 buyins won in 2 sessions (Friday night and Sunday night) which brought me up to $754.00. That brings me above me benchmark for NL10 and signifies that I'm well enough rolled to move up to NL25. I feel confident enough in my game to move up the limit, and now I've got a solid cushion to do it. Last time I moved to NL25 I had $310 and within 2 days I was down to $12. I think I'll try and avoid doing that again.
Here's a SS of all my progress since I started playing NL cash games about 35 days ago with a roll of about $550.
Definitely winning over 29,000 hands. Been reading that you need to hit 100,000 hands to really get any idea of whether you're a winning pla<x>yer or not. So in about another 2 months I should see if I really am any good. I'm also hoping to get up to NL100 by January, and NL200 by March. But not setting any goals which are too concrete cause all I can do is play my best and hope that the cards come well enough to bring in the money.
So life is overall pretty good as of this update... moving up a limit in poker, got a new comp on the way, and played through a series of bad beats without tilting horribly. I'm excited to be at NL25 and hope I can keep winning like I have been.
To close this post out, I'm gonna put down the stupid, idiotic, moronic hands of this weekend so that I never forget em and hopefully never do them again. Some where minor tilt, others were just stupidity at its finest.
