This is my first post since moving up to the $50NL game.
I have been reading a lot of end of the year posts from fellow poker players, and most are much more spectacular than this one.
My year end graph:
You can see my transition to the higher stakes game, with the big down swing. Here is the graph for my $50NL play.
I made some loose plays in at a level I don’t fully understand. Adjustments have been made, and it has shown in the hands that have gone to showdown. Playing live poker tonight, Great Fun!Â
Ending Bankroll: $2386
Beginning Bankroll: $246.52
Being on the road for the holidays affect my play time less than expected, thanks to a wireless broadband card. I mixed up my regular full ring with some 6 Max cash games and $5 heads up sit-and-gos.

The bankroll is getting a kick in the ass. I’m taking my poker investment up to $2500, and moving to .25-.50 no limit games.

Finally home. Got some play in this week, but no had histories to review or post. I have made a special request with PokerStars support for all my hands. It was a good week, broke my downswing. Best play of the week was getting out of the Northeast before they got snowed in!

Sure I qualify.
This past week has been detrimental to my game. It has made it non existent. I was rear-ended early last week while riding my motorcycle. The bike is totaled but I’m fine. I couldn’t get my mind into the game while dealing with the insurance and my loss. I just arrived in New Jersey on business travel. I’ll make the most of the in room internet this week. Time to start my session.
Beginning Bankroll: $238.06
Friday: Went out with friends instead of playing. Totally worth it.
Saturday: Played for 7 hours. Ran well until I lost the following back to back hands.
Easy enough. No poker today. Taking care of some around the house tasks, and watching some Daily Show.
Beginning Bankroll: $237.70
It was a monotonous night. Mediocre cards and flops that missed me every time, but somehow I squeezed out a profit. I continue onward and upward. I’m tired, and out for the night.
