Ordered a black Bose sounddock from PokerStars and it came in today.
I had listened to one of these before and was decently impressed with the sound quality for such a small device. My plan was to order one for my bathroom so I could listen to music in there with it instead of my blasting my room stereo. This plan seemed great and it would of been perfect but I obviously didn't think everything completely through as once I got it it donned on me I would either have to have a cord running across my sink all ghetto like or keep it in the corner near the plug where it barely fits (especially with the cord and adapter rolled up behind it) Being in the corner I would also probably get toothpaste and water all over it as well when I brush my teeth and shave etc...no thanks...
So since it doesn't jive very well in my bathroom, there is really no other reason for me to have it, so I'm thinking I'm going to sell it on Ebay while it's brand spankin new.
But before I do that I thought I would offer it to LP for $200 PS or UB money. I'd pay the shipping costs.
Pretty sure thats a real good price as its brand new outta the box for only a few hours and I still have the box, plastic bags, cords, manuals, everything it comes with and am including shipping
so lemme know here or by PM if anyone of you are interested

Onto my poker rebuild!

My first week of rebuild is over. I had planned on blogging more than I did but a few things happened irl and I ran kinda crappy at a few points as well, so my incentive for blogging I admit wasn't high. I do plan on changing this and blogging even if I have a mediocre or really bad day but I don't expect to be a pro at this my first week.

So about 5 days of poker have happened since I last blogged. In this time I've played around 14k hands online. I played three different types/levels of NLHE:
.05/.1 fullring
.05/.1 6max
.1/.25 6max

I don't normally play FR online but after reading the 400 BI prop bet thread, I wanted to try it just because it had been awhile and I wanted to see how I'd do. I don't like it as much and generally steer clear because I feel there is less actual playing involved (online) compared to 6max or heads up.
So I played about 6k hands 15 tabling fullring and I did really well going up about 10 buyins within 4k hands. I then I hit a wall, and for the last 2k hands I didn't win a single pot that was over half a buyin and ended up giving back about 6 buyins before I called it quits.
Fullring chart:

A few hands to sum up the microFR stab:
This guy loved to overbet shove when he smelled weakness
Someone trapped themselve's
Standard cooler
I should of gotten away from this
Just how it was going near the end

So quitting FR while still ahead, I went back to 6max. From 4 days ago until today I only played about 6k hands and ended up with the exact opposite graph of how the 6k hands in fullring went. I started out immediately down, playing some setup hands and losing 5 buyins. I then also noticed that I had gotten into a little bit of fancy play syndrome but once I realized that I stopped for the day, reset and went back at it and been on a good upswing since.
Biggest hand won

So ending yesterday with around $350 in my PS account, I woke today deciding to give NL .25 a try. I only played a little over 1k hands today, and walked away up $87 even w/ a won@sd % of 45.
Hands:
Biggest pot lost
This hand is funny to me, because I immediately was going to fold, obviously knowing that I was beat vs him here. I then somehow thought about this hand way to much and talked myself into calling.
I'm a POW
Funny that this hand was the biggest pot that I won today. I fully realize that this was a limped pot, and there was 4 of us that saw the flop and so maybe I didn't play it optimally but I was just sure this guy was totally full of it so I felt like calling down was best.

Overall chart:

That about sums up the remainder of my first week of my rebuild. I didn't play any on UB really, just primarily PS, and my BR there right now after one week is currently $440.78
