A Week Ago... (Graphs, PT, etc.)

[0evg0]

One week ago I was taking a couple days off from poker. I was playing 100nl and had a few thousand dollars online, but was getting into kind of heavy debt in real life with a lot of expenses I still needed to take care of after moving. I was feeling kind of down, and knew I was going to actually have to put in some real hours this month so I could make some money; none of this 10-15 hours/week [censored].

But before that, I was set on taking a break and getting regrouped before my long grind. The break started on Sunday afternoon, and finally on Friday I decided to play a couple HU donk n go's just for fun. I hadn't taken more than 1-2 days off from playing any poker in a pretty long while (lol addiction?), and I actually missed it. This was the first time I'd actually played poker for fun in ages, and it was nice.

The next night, Saturday, I again decided to play just for the fun of it. So I made some dinner, started watching a movie, and registered for the first decent MTT that was starting. That turned out to be a 50r on FTP.

So I 1-tabled a donkament while watching a movie and, somehow, 5 hours later I had won it for $5400.

Now, that's obviously not anything even BBV-worthy, but for a 100nl player in money trouble, it was pretty [censored] nice. Especially since 2007 has not been kind to me when it comes to donkaments. The 3 major FTs I had made over the last few months all ended in standard jokeament fashion with me finishing like 6th to 9th in all of them.

So, needless to say, I was excited.

Winning that money was going to open doors for me. I could pay off my debt, take a trip, and move back to 200nl. Good times were on the horizon.

But little did I know how good and how soon I would be rewarded.

Sunday morning I decided to start back with 200nl, here are the results since, including shots at 400nl and 600nl:







From Saturday to Wednesday:

5 hours of MTT + 4 hours of cash = 9 hours

$5400 from MTT + $4500 from cash = $9900

Not too [censored] shabby for someone who was ready to grind their ass off at 100nl for a month.
