I think this is the second blog in a row about poker, which is nice cause i was blogging about random shit forever. I've been running super hot the last couple weeks. I hit a brief speed bump when moving back up to 50nl, thought i may have to stay at 25nl but then my boomswitch turned back on. I dropped about 4 BI's in two days at 50nl rush, basically 60% of my winnings from the previous week. Then I figured i'd keep on plugging away and had a +6 BI session the next time out.

Since then I've been winning a little bit each day but haven't really played a lot. I've been pretty tired from work and having fun chilling at home. Still getting used to not living w/ the parents and it's sweet. Right now i'm up $670 from poker on the month with a winrate of 15bb/100. Obviously i know that's not sustainable but i think at 50nl about half that can be achieved. Either way i don't like getting into winrates and all that cause stats can drive me crazy if I pay too close attention. It just messes with my head.

With rakeback and bonuses i've done pretty well so far. I feel like i'm playing just the right amount to not go crazy, but still get in volume that's not embarrassing, (rush poker ftw). I'm not really sure what my goals are anymore. I'm getting close to being rolled for 100nl agian (although i shouldn't count chickens before they hatch). However, I could use some extra money now and could probably do ok just playing 50nl and cashing out a few hundred a month.

I was pretty devastated last time my bankroll nosedived from 2600 all the back down to just under 1200. I still feel like I could beat 100nl but I may have to work harder, and I'm not sure that i want to anymore. It's just really nice to coast along at 50nl knowing exactly how the games are and for the most part know what to expect. On the flipside I should be challenging myself and trying to make more money. I was reading an interview in Cardplayer w/ Leggo superstar Luckychewy and he was saying to take lots of shots and not get too comfortable at your limit. It makes a lot of sense cause i think that's what i'm experiencing now. I guess for right now I'm just gonna keep trying to move up since I'm working OT at work and don't rely on poker for money.

So that's the situation, running great, playing good (probably), and working hardish. Hoping to go on a supergrind this weekend but probably get distracted. I've been super tired lately and my allergies are starting to kick in hardcore. I get itchy eyes and start sneezing like a fool around this time of year. I never got checked out but i'm sure it's from the pollen or whatever. Think i might get meds this year. Hopefully that all gets sorted out. That's what i got for now, pz.
