I am sure that it is ground breaking information but it really is true. I started Friday with my profits up about $320. I sat at some tables that guys were card racks, and I tilted. Thank goodness I am over rolled for the level. I ended the day down about 8 buy ins.

It made me sick, but like the 6 Million Dollar Man we can rebuild it, we can make it bigger, stronger and better able to push small stacks around. I have won back 3 or 4 buy ins, but I hate to have to reboot.

I can whine about the card rack and how I lost with AK to 64 or KK to A3 etc, but the truth is if I were cold sober I am sure I would have handled things much differently.

$10 NL still is just $10 NL and 90% of the players suck.

Hand Update, I have only played 20,000 hands. I have a long way to go.

The wife and kids leave today for almost 3 weeks I plan to up the number of hands I play by 10 fold. I am going to try to be at 50,000 hands played by the time they return. I also plan to play live. I think I will be pokered out by the time they get back.

Just a small piece of advice: don't let this game take over your life. Focus on the things that matter, ie your wife and kids. NL10 isn't going to pay the rent or build any sort of relationship. I know if my dad played poker over taking me fishing or out to a movie we'd never have been the great friends we are today. I see you getting sucked in as so many of us have and thought I'd throw out my 2cents. Take it or shit on it, up to you.

I click buttons.

I agree and thanks... my family has been out of town for the last 2 weeks... so I get lots of poker in.
