Yeahhhhh. Since my last blog I've pretty much started over on FTP. I started at AP originally.. didn't really do well, lost interest in my roll. Got a rakeback account on FTP and transferred 50 bucks there... played alot until I had finals and stuff and had to study... and basically only ended up playing 15000 hands my whole summer .
Howevvvvvvver I'm happy to say I am finally out of NL2 short of crashing and burning like I did around hand 5800... lol :/. I feel like I've gotten a better understanding of the game and am trying to play in position better than I used to.
Also today thanks to LP I took advantage of the PT3 micro stakes edition and bought myself a copy. Today it pretty much paid for itself with a crazy heater + helping me read villains better... but after playing so for so long without it I have to admit I feel like it is weird to go back (I used to have a cracked torrented version when I played AP and when I first started on FTP because I'm bad like that ) and I feel like I was enjoying playing without the stats. That being said, I know in general this is going to help me alot more.
One thing PT3 DOES do for me that I don't really know how to feel about is that it makes my red line shoot up. When I see player's "call flop bet" stats.. I pretty much abuse them as much as possible. On one hand, obviously its a good thing because my red line goes up, on the other hand I think I get myself into marginal situations on turn and river if I feel like I have an ok hand, thus I get out of line. So that's something else I need to work on.
I do feel good about that big jump in my graph though... the only reason it didn't keep going up was because I lost AA v KK for a pretty big size of my stack at a table and villain continued to run well against me and I didn't really know how to handle his aggressiveness. Should have probably just left the table
Anywaaaays, thanks everyone who has been commenting on my hand histories in the side bar, it helps alot to get your opinions. Please keep giving me criticism/advice. That's all for now.

hey, have you got msn?
I'm currently playing NL5 with a $70 bankroll (kinda weird BRM) and I'd love to exchange poker ideas.
