      <description><![CDATA[Started over today with online poker by loading 190 onto stars.  School is over and got tired of playing live games (too slow, competition is cake compared to online though).  The main reason I don't like playing live is because I love 6max/HU games online.  I started with the 6 dollar hu turbo SNG's then worked up to the 11's pretty quickly.  I bought into two of the 22 hu mtt's and lost in the 3rd round on the first one, and lost in the 4th round on the 2nd one (cashing for 40 bucks).  I started to 4 table the 11 dollar heads up games and single tabling the 23's.  The bankroll is sitting at 473.55 right now.  Im sticking with 20 buy in's t play at a level.  I did start playing the 23's a little early, but it worked out.  Right now I am rolled (20 buy in's) for the 23's.  If I run good early I want to stay at this level until I hit at least 700 preferably 800 before I move up to the 34.50's.

      <description><![CDATA[Been on a nice run playing the 115's.  Got my sharkscope down to 3, 690 and I need to rack up a little over 1k in fpp's.  I played a lot yesterday, sometimes one tabling, sometimes 4 tabling.  The main thing I noticed was my record vs. players with a very high ROI or on a leaderboard on sharkscope for their heads up play were my easiest matches.  I was having problems with the worst players on sharkscope.  Only because I did not adapt to how they play.  You can't bluff a fish, and in HU SNG it's tough to even continuation bet without a hand.  You can value bet deuces on these oppenents most of the time.  But betting with air is -EV vs. these clowns and there is no reason to semi bluff draws at all.  They pay you off anyway so hit them as cheap as you can.  

The bankroll is up to 2900.  I lost in the 2nd round of the 215 HU tourney and played a couple 55 dollar MTT's.  I played well in the HU tourney and lost 2 races in the same match = can't win vs. a good player. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Had a fantasy baseball draft today and played a lot of 34's HU on stars.  One of my boy's who is a sick MTT player was playing some of the big weekend tournaments on stars and FTP.  I got to watch him play and talk to him about some hands.  The one big thing I learned about my play is im not pushing with my reads and decent hands enough.  Especially with high blinds.  I feel like im depending to much on my cards and not protecting some of my mediocre hands like I should be.  Im up 240 right now after buying into over 100 dollars of MTT's so I made over 350 in 34$ HU SNG's, so thats a pretty sweet run.  I want to start the 57s at about 900.  that might be a little early though.  I kinda just skipped over the 22's whooops  And my fantasy baseball team is sick (everyone thinks there team is sick)  had the 2nd pick and took hanley, its only a 50 dollar league.  ]]></description>

      <title>Starting this off</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Ok starting this off again as my last attempt ended with me losing a 1k heads up SNG to a sick two outer vs. an opponent who was down 49k in his lifetime in heads up SNG's :(.  Been playing live lately and crushing 1-2 games in 4 sessions and decide to put 600 back into stars.  I have a fantasy baseball draft today and am using ~ 100 dollars for MTT's and taking some shots today.  The other 500 im going to start back up with 22 heads up matches for a little while before moving up to the 34's.  I had my sharkscope down to a lil under 4k when I lost that 1k hu sng and went on a 4 game tilt fest at the 230's.  After 1616 games played my avg profit is -4$ avg. ROI is -7% and total profit is -5,789.

My goals for April:
- play every day
- platinum star
- cash out rent and utilities
- Don't start playing 50nl until I am at 1k
- Run goot

The overall goal is to build a bankroll for 200nl by some time this summer and get my sharkscope back on the plus side.  Cya on the online felt... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>
