Soon 2B BALLIN

Well i hate to say this, especially because i really like the guy and think he's a great poker player, but i pulled my first "neilly". however i realized that i am stupid and cashed out because A) it prevents me from being stupid B) i need money anyways. I have $50 in my account, and i am going to regrind starting at 2nl on stars. I am going to continue to play cake just how i was @ 10nl.

I just can't play 25nl underrolled anymore. I had $200 in my account which just ain't enough. I find myself wanting to go back to 25nl just because you can win more money more quickly.

I'm going to get PT3 + hud for some additional help.

gl everyone.

Well, I'm not sure how many of you know this, probably none of you, but i was purposely under-rolling myself @ 25nl. I started it after a June July and August break-even or losing 3 month skid @ nl 10. I started 25nl with $150 in september and during september and mid august i built it up to approx. $370 twice thru about 50k hands. (once, then went down to 250, then back up to 370). I then got coolered and went card dead for a while, and now i'm just about back where i started @175. This has taught me a better understanding of BRM, because now i am uncormfortable with my roll at this level. I wasn't before because i wasn't going to let myself lose (funny, b/c i wish i could say that now...) I was a nit when i started and it worked, got to a comfortable br, but now it's low, so i'm starting all-over again back at 2nl. I am up 10bi in the last couple of days, and i will be playing 2nl until i get to a comfortable level again. I would say move up at $200, but i don't think i am mentally prepared yet. I am trying to study more poker before i move up to 5nl. When i am ready, i am sure i will know it, and obv be prepared for it, as i already have 39bi for 5nl.

In other news, i played the 30+3 on cake last night, got 70th out of like 383 i think. Pretty ridiculous, never had a big stack, stayed around 6-7K all night, then the first hand back from the second break 8bb deep on the button i get AA and there were 5 limpers (blinds 300/600 w/ 25 ante) so i shove obv, get called by 2 people, flop was safe, however one of the players who was near the top of the leader board called my bet with A8dd, and caught runner runner for the nut flush. =/ so i wasn't itm, but i did knock i guy out and it was a bounty, so i got 10 bucks back.

My 2nd job just ended (season is over, i was an umpire for the YMCA) so i was lucky and found a 3rd job to replace my 2nd one. I am an assistant for a real estate agent. Pretty sweet little gig i have going. She paid me upfront for my work i did today, what i will do tomorrow, and the project i have due tuesday. $400, and i really should only work for about 8 hours or so total, if i take my sweet ass time on the project. It's easy work too, all i do is walk around a neighborhood and put flyers up letting people know about an open-house they are having. If the house sells to a person i gave the ad to, i BANK. "We will take care of you" qft. It's a shame the house is about 5K sqft and about $900,000. It's a beautiful home, on a golf course. I'd buy it if i had a mill laying around.

My schedule is pretty busy the next 6 weekends. Tomorrow i have "work", 2 papers, a project, 7 chapters of homework i have to do, and 2 tests i have to study for. Once i make it past that however, life will be fun. Next weekend i am going to McMurry University to visit them and meet their baseball coach (this is my last year of eligibility for Junior College), The weekend after that i am "camping", then the weekend after that i will be w/ family for Thanksgiving, then the first weekend of December i will be in Iowa to visit William Penn University and talk to their coach, then the weekend of the 13th, I will be getting absolutely SCHLOMMERED ON MY 21ST FUCKING BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and going to SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANNA AND PLAYING POKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLZ YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That will probably be the last weekend i will have with you guys as i predict my Blood Alcohol Level will be 1.34 = dead.

lp lowers the flag to half-staff, i'm sure there will be a moment of LP silence sometime today. I think the background should be black so we can mourn. Candle-light memorial service to come after barack wins.
