hi, first post really on Liquidpoker. i've kind of been keeping my own blog on a different website:

9-23-08 - deposited 100 into my account (had 10 in there already), won $30 last night after two hours of 12 tabling. looking to move up to NL10 by the very latest of next wednesday

9-28-08 - moved up to NL10 today, and won 7.5 BIs. got to 245 almost instantly (like 30 minutes) and got to 270 after about an hour of grinding. two All in hands i lost tonight - JJ v KK on low flop and 88 v Axhh on 8xx, 2 heart flop, which i raised after the flush completed (fml!). only played like 45 minutes and up like $7 so whatever. current br is $277. current goal - $500 by mid october, move up to nl25 by the very latest end of 2nd week next month.

9-29-08 - swingy day, started on a heater and from then on it was all bad. KK v AA a couple times, AA cracked both times i got action from it, rivered in countless dominating 85/15 positions, it was just horrible. at about $262, peak was about $330 today but lolswongs

10-4-08 well, i guess setting goals are good because you just want to complete it before the deadline. i said mid october, but i hit $500 today. started the day with $365, won like 3 buy ins at 6max nl10 and 2 and a half at nit ring (one big loss, KK v JJ all in preflop). i also played in the $2 turbo, got like 215th or something for a $6 profit, so i made about $60 this morning after maybe 2 1/2 hours of playing. started up again about an hour ago, and decided to take a shot at nl25 6max, planning to quit if i got stacked. 4 tabling, i won 3 BIs in about 130 hands. AA v KK, AQ v Ax9s on AQx spade board, and another one where a tilted guy shoved AK into my 99 on a 238 board. so yeah. next goal - $1000 and NL50 by the end of the month.

10-7-08 - i might've made the biggest mistake ever. i cashed out $590, leaving me 70 cents so i can move over to FTP and take advantage of rakeback and the 100% bonus. well after played like 500 hands on FTP i'm down a good 3 BIs. I don't think i was ready to move up to 6max nl25 since I only played 4k hands on nl10.
i have $525 on FTP and since I'm playing some stupid limit game on stars, i've brought that 70 cents to $4. i'm really discouraged to play on FTP for some reason...we'll see how things go from here.

and here i am now. i've had a ton of trouble ever since i moved up to nl25 6max and so i'm moving down back to nl10 6max for some training. i only played like 4k hands at nl10 before i moved up (i have around 7-8k at fullring nl10). hopefully i'll be able to get help here. i also made an account on 2+2.

from the $600 i deposited on FTP, i have $450 now. hoping to build it back up to $600 before i move back up to nl25 - my goal for this month is still the same.

GL at the tables!

be patient and work on picking apart your opponents weaknesses, start out with less tables until your focus gets better and better, then add more tables when your comfortable

don't get down on yourself from losing a few bi, its the name of the game, just play your A+ game at all times, realize you should be having fun while winning.

yeah you should start with dear diary.

but ya gj you're moving up at a blistering pace?? Don't know how strong your fundamentals are for such a short period of playing, maybe they are good or maybe you were on a heater. Anyways just keep playing within your roll and you'll be fine. gj and gl

welcome to LP and GL. Stay @ NL10 for a while longer, doesn't sound like you've played long enough to be truly winning and not just running good, plus NL10 on stars takes very little skill while NL25 takes some skill.
