Fell off of the blog posts for a bit cause my NEW COMPUTER ARRIVED!!! I am in computer heaven as for the first time in my life I own a computer that can do everything I want it to do! Installed Half-Life2 and CounterStrike: Source with it. Haven't played that game in ages and it's just as fun as it ever was, and much more entertaining than BW lately. BW runs great though (some people with new comps have problems getting it running) and on this massive screen the units are plump and easy to select.
I even bought Halflife: Source for $10 off of the steam thingy so that I could replay the classic with my fiance. She isn't a big gamer, but she likes some of the shooter stuff and I've gotten her to play CS before. HL scares here, especially when the crabbies decided to jump at us from outta nowhere. It has been damn fun gaming again - haven't done it in ages.
Work has also gotten very hectic, so in the mix of transferring everything to my new computer, reinstalling all my programs, and working 8 hours a day, poker took a back seat. But now that I've gotten everything moved over I am very glad I got the 2.0 Intel Core Duo cause I can 12 table with PT pulling stats every minute and PAH displays everything perfectly without laggy one bit... even while PAH is updating its databa<x>se! Dear god, orgasm is cumming now, turn penis away from computer!
Amongst this chaos I made my move up to NL25. The first session was very shaky as whenever I move to a new limit I feel like everyone is better than me. By the end of the first session I was confident that there were still many many donkey's around to take money from and started feeling comfortable. The 2nd session went well too, but then the 3rd session was painful and the 4th one was downright depressing. Started a minor downswing but fought off tilt and have been able to reverse it with authority over the last 2 sessions and am now up 2 buyins from when I started going down. Here's my NL25 graph to illustrate these words in pretty red lines:

I moved to NL25 with 750 and got up to $810 after the first 2 sessions, then crashed down to $715 or so at the low point. So a 4 buyin loss, which isn't horrendous but at a new limit it feels quite large. Was also hitting a new level of "cold cards" and in one session I hit about 5 sets that all lost... and they were the only sets I hit. This was the closest I'd been to a bad tilt in the last 3 weeks and I nearly went there, but was able to get myself away from the computer in time to save my BR. Probably should have gotten away even sooner cause I think I was on a minor tilt for a bit and lost more money than I needed to.
Now I wanna step back a bit and look at my NL cash game career since I started it about a month and a half ago... So, 36,000 hands into my move out of Limit Cash games and SNG into the world of NL Cash games, here are my results:

I'm curious to see how my overall graph looks when I make it to 100,000 hands, which is what people tend to say is the minimum hands you need to play before you can tell whether you're really a winning pla<x>yer or not.
No hands to post this time, so might as well close it out with a SS of PT. Hands will come in a later blog... but there will be a bunch on the forums sooner.

I have WC3 and TFT at home, just didn't reinstall em cause I never cared much for the game. WTF is dota? I still don't get it. It's like some UMS for wc3 where you end up roleplaying or some shit? Like a wc3 version of diablo? or am i way off? |

way off, it's a team strategy game, except you control one or very few "hero" units and for the whole game. there are a huge variety of heroes, each with unique abilities. can't really describe it well if you've never played it, it's not really like anything else |
