It's the end of week 2 and I'm moving up from NL5!!!!

Well, not really, I just wanted to give teacher Silver(MEGA BR Nit) a bit of a heart attack

These 2 weeks I was playing NL 2c with $2 buyin and reached $30 so Silver told me a few hours ago to try playing with full buyin of $5. I was quite nervous as 5 goes into 30 only six times. What that means I wasn't sure but I just had a bad feeling.

I opened up 4 tables and entered full buyin, praying to the Poker Gods to go easy on me. They decided to be assholes to me though for a while as I got used to playing like a man, making me lose like $2 quickly. I was thinking maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all so I asked the Poker Gods for a sign that things were going to be ok. Otherwise if I lost some more money I'd just berate Silver and move back down to $2 buyin.

Cue philanthropists.

A few minutes after asking for a sign I got this hand:

That boosted my confidence and I booked the hell out of that table, staring at the cashier screen for a few minutes after sacrificing a stray cat to the deities.

The offering appeared to have pleased the Gods as they gifted me with another victim:

After winning this, the next few hands I observed the victim raising allin when I did a cbet (and not in position too but hey it's only week 2 so I'm still allowed to suck). I figured it was just a matter of time and then bam:

After all that money I decided to try a couple of things and pulled off my first bluff weee:

I think Silver might disapprove of that one but...meh

So after all that at the end of Week 2 I';ve played 16,272 hands and I';m sitting at $49.72 from $15. Still a long way to go with many swings expected.

Now if you'll excuse me I think I saw my neighbour's dog from my window.

high five! you're away.

looks like you run good, flopping sets everywhere, but you see the advantage of playing deep stack when people overvalue toppair like that.

I commented on your 'bluff' hand
