Ready to ''hOLd eM''??

Just put a nice $70 on Stars. Feels a lot better, and closer then $30.00 to $100.00

Going to 8 table 2NL -
Currently I am up $4.00
A nice 2 buy-in ( very pleased )

The reason why I did not put my money on FT was because I am not really worried with my rake at 2NL. & When I have $300+ I will just withdraw my cash & deposit it on a site where I do have rake. Also because since I was new I did not know about rake-back, and I signed up at FT without one, and recently I e-mailed them & they sent my information to an affiliated partner Rake-Back-Pros whom I have not heard from at all, and it's been 1-2 weeks. I understand busy, but that's quite a while.

Do more of an update later, however it works out.
Gotta go do errands & eat.

Still would really like to thank everyone at 2+2 really great place

Update - 1:41 AM -
Current Roll $68.48 still happy xD
In between 4-10 tables.

Having fun, not tilting, see what happens next.

---------New Update 4:51 AM--------

$66.59 I feel like I am accomplishing a lot. Even though I lost 4 buy-ins.
But I also won 2 buy-ins. So whichever, however.
The word everyone names this is.. variance. Not so bad :P

I had Q-Q raised 4x BB PF - guy called, the flop comes, & it's all low gap rainbow cards, so I raise again, and he puts re-raise so I go all-in he busted out K-K. It's okay I do not feel so bad this happens, I put him on 88-J-J or Something Ax-Kx.

The next buy in I lost was K-K I raised 5x BB PF, 1 guy reraises x10 BB. So I go all-in he turns over A-A. I still do not feel so bad, but seriously in 2NL?? I thought I just learned how to play JJ.

The other 2 buy-ins, I forget how I lost it. I'm sure I did something wrong, & thought I had the other person beat, and went all-in. Suppose note to myself, unless I have the nuts do not go all-in. I always think its circumstantial. Well shit happens, I accept.

I should really invest in one of those poker programs.

BankRoll ._.V

I am going to start a new bankroll soon, playing micro ring games. Working with $30.00 + I am attempting proper bankroll management with around that amount. See how far I go, hopefully sky high with patience & determination.

After going busto last few times ( I count 4-6 ), not having a bankroll to play with makes you think & think. Fortunately I have done all my thinking at 2+2. So starting a proper bankroll from my understanding is always having 20+ x the buy in amount, at each blind level, so you may handle down swings. If your bankroll cannot support the current level, you should not be playing. I suppose when you are beginning the bankroll around $20 + theres little you can do about playing 2NL.

.01/.02 - 2NL - $40.00
.02/.05 - 5NL - $100.00
.05/.10 - 10NL - $200.00
.10/.25 - 25NL - $500.00

Mostly my mistakes in the past was short-stacking ( minimum buy-in ) , playing in blinds that my bankroll cannot handle, such as only having $50.00-$100.00 & playing in 50NL. Now I will practice better bankroll management, and deep-stacking. Many people over 2+2 put my head in the right path, I am grateful for this, I do not want to be the one that always donates, and learns the hard way.

An awesome guy told me I was the impatient type, which I know is true, he led me to think I should set certain goals at each blind level, so I feel accomplished, and I am not wasting my time. The feeling of watching your account $$ decrease is worse then blue-balls. I usually feel like commiting homicide (luckily it's online), maybe I should seek other help.

Later hopefully with a nice $40-50 + jump start I'll feel closer to 5NL

Once I start with 2NL - I will most likely 2-4 table on either PokerStars or Full-Tilt, because of the game selection, and rakeback is not that important when I am playing 2-5NL

I will make in between 8 and 10 buy ins - $16.00-$20.00 (playing 2NL) deep-stacking

I really would like to thank everyone over at 2+2 you guys are the best
