Well like most people who quit poker im back 6 months later, and grinding up another roll.

Deposited $100 usd (about $110ausd or somethn) to stars about 2 weeks back, and im playing a 10bi rule till i get to $750 and ill do 15 for nl50 then 30 after that (since im pretty confident that i can beat these micro stakes).

So far have been running pretty super hot (despite bad ev), and I think im playing pretty well too. Have had a few spewwy situations and spots im unsure of, but considering the long break im overall pretty happy with how things have been going.

stats for the first 5k hands below. Comments/criticism welcome. (Obviously incredibly small sample)

accidently have the nl25 one selected, but the $'s obviously green, not red ^^. Nitty NL10 stats via some of it being FR.

Yoyo, been a while since i updated this with some 'proper' information, so here i go for everyone that im sure is dying to read it... ;P.

Uni has so far been pretty cruisy, however my latest maths assignment is doing my head in, i swear there is information missing or something, because i've done the last 2/3rds of it but the first 1/3rd is like, impossible -__-a. Physics is easymode and biol is just boring, but still pretty easy . For those who don't know im currently studying my first year bach. of science.

Melbourne is pretty fun, my apartment is pretty sweet and i've got a nice set-up in my shoebox of a room . I'm living in eureka with my sister which is the biggest building australia, and it's only like 20 min public transport to uni. My gf travels up here most weekends from bendigo and we usually find something to do to pass the time, other than that I'll be traveling down to bendigo over the week long easter break and hopefully catching up with my friends up there then =].

As for poker, nothing really exciting, I'm slowly grinding my roll back up with a stake i received about 2 weeks back. Got staked $100 and my rolls sitting at $250 about 10k hands in and im grindin my way thru NL10, I cant put in as many hands as i'd like to with uni atm, but still enjoying playing when i get the time to .

And one last thing, I still haven't found anyone who's willing to purchase HEM for me. I'm happy to ship $55 to anyone on stars who has a means of buying it online (the low stakes version). This would be greatly appreciated as it's pretty hard to multi-table without it and my trial runs out litterally tomorrow, . I'm happy to ship the money first if you're respected on LP and you have anyone who can vouch for you, help a poor little aussie out :D.

That's about it i guess, this blog was pretty boring, but not much really exciting happening at the moment, hopefully I'll have something more exciting to write about next time

Finally got the net at my apartment, my god, funny how much life sucks with no internet and no foxtel(cable tv here in aus). I got so bored its unbelievable, moving from the home town I've lived in for 19 years away from my best friends and GF to an apartment in a big city i know all of 2 people with nothing to entertain me sure can lead to some lonely depressing nights =.

Started my course at melb uni, seems pretty cruisy atm, although I'm sure the workload will skyrocket over the coming weeks, =[.

Withdrew $600 from my roll for uni money until i get a job up here, leaving me with $200... which i then donked off being a drunk idiot the night before i moved away... playing drunk, despite being fun at times, is something i wish to never repeat again.

So right now poker is kind of at a stand still for me... I might be able to get one of my friends to lend me a 2hundo or something to build a roll from NL10 with, if not I'll have to wait until i get a job somewhere down the track... Or if someone wants to keen up and give me a decent staking deal on here for NL10 or NL25 that'd be mad . Although I'm not very well known so i don't see that being a likely option to rest my hopes upon =(.

Pretty boring post i know, but oh well. I'm bored and uni doesn't start for another 3 hours today. ;P

Lololol. As much as i have NO experiance in any of the games, the other players seemed so horrible at basic logic for the stud games... Especially razz. Things like they're showing 2TJ on fifth street and still calling my bets when im showing A56... But obviously i still ran really well to get 3rd =].
A good boost to my roll and makes up for my -$200 day yesterday. :D

PS: if u missed my last blog, scroll down and take a peep, it's a funny one

wow... exciting day.

First of all, i put casinocasino in the topic in the hope that he'll read it, to apologize for yesterday. Sorry for the hit and run and just generally acting like a tool. I appologize . (read previous blog post for more on that)

Second, There's bush fires all around my house! I live in central victoria, australia, and we had to evacuate my mates house who i was at yesterday playing poker because the bush fire was heading towards us, LOL! We left in such a hurry i forgot my shoes and shirt and was wearing board shorts for the rest of the day :D. His house ended up being okay, however a friend who came over later in the day, had a bikini on, and that was her only remaining possession, her house completely burnt down along with everything in it... Ouch.

Lastly i figure I'll talk about getting ready to move, I'm moving into an apartment with my sister in eureka tower!
brag - tallest building in southern hemisphere
brag - 1 tram ride from uni
brag - 1 minute walk from crown casino.

However this doesnt come without my fair share of beats...

beat - my sister is CRAZY
beat - most of my friends are staying in bendigo
beat - my GF is staying in bendigo....
beat - Obviously all the normal moving out stuff, have to do my own laundry, cook for myself, etc. etc.

As for uni itself, i'm doing a bach. of science at melb uni, planning to major in physics at this stage.

As for poker, im grinding NL50HU and FR atm, im a bit underolled for NL50hu (30 BIs), but at this stage, i'm mostly playing poker as a hobby, and not at all as a source of income, so i figure it's not too bad, plus, i can feel my post flop play improving RIDICULOUS amounts from playing heads up.

Well, after coming 7th in the $30k garantee'd and earning a score ~twice the size of my bankroll, ive jumped from just starting a NL25 shot to being well rolled for NL50.

I've been really crushing the micro levels i've been playing, and whilst i didnt get much experiance at NL25, it didnt seem to play much differently to NL10 at all, thus i have decided to take the NL50 shot straight away, giving myself 5 BI's to make it work, if not ill drop back down to NL25 and grind back up the money.

I'm also considering paying someone to sweat me for a session whilst i now have the excess money and BR to do it, although i have no idea what the real cost of this is, nor how it generally works.

Anyways, this blog posts was really quick and probably rambles on about general nothing (its 2:30am here and i'm quite tired =[), but i feel like not posting something after such an eventful day wouldnt be right at all. So here it is, lol.

Feel free to comment on my plans to jump to NL50 straight away, also any information anyone has about getting someone to sweat me, costs, if it is worth it, who's someone who is good willing to do it for not a ridiculous amount, etc. etc.

Thanks
