So, started back at uni yesterday, it kinda sucks. Seeing all my friends is good, but learning 2347230984723 different facts of the human body wears thin very quickly.

I decided I'd cash out the vast majority of my bankroll, just under 2k worth...it'll convert to 2.5k my local currency. $500 I will use to start a live bank roll, 1k I will splurge, the other 1k will just sit in my bank and I'll use it how ever and when ever I please.

How ever, I have left $100 with which to rebuild a bankroll, my aim is to be at $1k by the end of Feb. I returned to 10nl where the fish are ripe and the pickings are easy. In 2.5k hands I'm now at $228, I'll move to $25nl when I hit br of $500.

Kantoiki strongly advises against cashing my br out, karma is kind of indifferent to it. Truth is, I've never been able to show any proof for what I've achieved with poker: for all the hours I've logged, I don't actually have any money to spend. This kind of made it disgusting for me whenever I went on even the smallest of bad runs at 50nl...losing $200 in 1k hands just sucks for me and puts me in a bad mood, because to me that $200 (which is $250 where I live) is valuable cash that I could have gone and spent on a nice set of clothes or something. Any way, I figure that once I have taken out 2k and been able to spend some of the money, I will not feel as if I'm just bleeding away everything that I win, hence making taking bad runs at 50nl far more bearable.

On a happier note, just like to shout out to all the LPers who played with Verbloten on 10nl last night: It was hilariously good fun. Feel free to accuse me of playing nitty, but I did throw some cash in there with total junk and got lucky (and owned) too.
