Okay, I'm done with poker for a little while. I don't feel good about my poker playing, usually a sign that I will keep losing. After a week or so, or until I feel comfortable with my poker playing agian, I may start up, but idk... I have a few midterms coming up, so I'm gonna lay off poker for a bit.

$191.38

Not good.

$205.09

Not good, I'm down about $15 from yesterday. I played 4 $5.50 45-man sngs and 9 $5.50 1-table sngs and a few cash games. Not doing too well. I start to wonder if it's even possible for me to make a profit playing online. I guess we'll see after a little longer.

$226.74

I'm doing fairly well, I worked my way up to $300 with a lucky cash in the daily double for $160. After that I pretty much fizzed down to $250 and decided I was REALLY (hopefully) going to only play .05/.10 cash and $5 sngs until I can move up with the occasional mtt to mix things up. :) I'm at $226.74 now after giving someone $50 so they could play. Come to think of it, I should be about $210 richer online because I've lent out about that much to people. Oh well, I guess I need to endure the lowest limits at least... :P

Things like this make me want to say 'rigged!' :/

At this point, I'm going to try and post a blog everyday that I play poker to say what I did to try and keep myself on track. Feel free to yell at me if I play above my limits. :P
