My first three days of August are done. Obviously I would like better results but I am running below average at the moment. I have maintained my play pretty well and only mini-tilted a couple of times. I do need to stop running my mouth at the tables. Here's to running well starting tomorrow.

Wow, this is awesome. So I started playing online poker a couple years ago with a $50 deposit, dropped to $3.90 the first night, and then built that up to where I'm at now without ever going all in for my last penny. Because I pulled this off, I thought I was actually decent back then.

Nope. I guess I auto-saved the HH's, and I just noticed that my (old) FTP name is in my database. I played about 2500 ring hands (mostly FR and some 6max) and ran ~50/15/2.5. I middle-stacked every single level, and I couldn't fold two pair on any board. This is a solid example of an aggressive call...it's from January 5, 2006.

Amazingly, I somehow correctly folded QQ 89 bets deep in a 6max game. But other than that, I played like absolute [censored] and ran +16PTBB/100.

Could someone give me a step by step guide to posting a graph, I am very stupid when it comes to computer things like that so be clear. Thanks.
