Most of you probably don't know me, except for the occasional hands I post. My name is Devin and I started playing online poker my senior year of HS, but only got into it seriously when I met Sean (Day[9]) and Corwin (Myth) during my sophomore year at college (pretty awesome when you have two amazing friends to learn from first hand). Sean introduced me to the idea of 12 tabling. I started out at penny stakes, and eventually got to 50NL where I was a slightly better than average player (6max). My BR oscillated between 30bi and 60bi (for 50NL), with the occasional jump up to 100NL, only to get raped and have to move back down to 50NL. I took a break for a while, but got back into 6 max earlier this year. I lost 70% of my bankroll, got pissed off, and took some more time off of poker.

A few months ago, Corwin introduced me to HU poker, and gave me a nice start by spewing about 5bis to me at HU 50NL. Ever since then, it's been (mostly) all up. In no time at all, I moved from HU 50NL to 100NL. Over the last month, I've managed to build a BR for 200NL. Tonight was the first night I've played HU 200NL. The initial new limit nervousness quickly wore off. Here is the chronological progression of important (large) hands vs Char1emagne:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/344760 (first flip lost @ 200NL)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/344765
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/344766 (not sure if he was lying...)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/344773 (are you fucking jokin me? lol)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/344775
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/344788 (i luckbox on my draw)

He left after that last hand and said I was a horrible player (lots of people tell me that after I take their money).

I'm always interested in improving my game. If you have any advice for a new 200NL fish, let me know
