Introduction
For 2010, I am starting a new personal poker challenge. I am going to start on Full Tilt Poker at the $.05/$.10 limit hold'em games and attempt to "grind" my way up the stakes. Unfortunately, work and school will keep me from putting in a lot of hours. I have rakeback, so I will include that in the total win/loss.
Rules:
Start at $.05/$.10 LHE.
Play four tables.
10 hours a week.
Can not move up to next limit until I have 300BB for that limit.
-----
I also plan to play 100 hours of 3/6 LHE poker in Atlantic City. I will post my results here, but any profits/losses will be separate from the online challenge.

to the site operator
it would be cool if you could add options on here like 6 max table and certain game conditions like cap pot betting games or there are quite a few games now that have antes as well. Not sure how many people would use them, but it would help my logging.

slump
looking at my log lately and trying to figure out where i'm going wrong. i think i've loosened my starting hand requirements a little too much having been luckily rewarded by some questionable plays. i know I've also had a handful of instances where i was eager to get my money in with the best hand too early in the hand only to be drawn out on. i need to start being more mathematical and only betting enough to have them make a mistake by calling and if i get drawn out on then i at least have the opportunity to fold. i guess long term i'd come ahead with the strategy of getting it in while i'm ahead, but i don't think my bankroll can take it. my strategy for the next few sessions is to tighten back up. i don't think i have the live hand history and experience to be playing as loose as i have been.

full tilt poker
well I my grinding has finally been rewarded, after being stuck 500 and having nothing left of it in the middle of last month I got my affiliate back and have managed to finally get winner today. I took such sick disgusting beats last month, when I finally lost the last of it I sent a scathing email to support bitching about how rigged their site is. Now this month I haven't run into the sick hands that force me to lose money anywhere near as much. Since I view this as just kinda thinking out loud I have to wonder if there is some way they manipulate accounts and such. I read a couple other people logging on here about the same type of bullshit that I have been whining about for a while, so I know it's not just me that thinks this stuff. I guess it's nice to be winner, but one has to wonder if it really has much to do with one's play or if the site just says well we better not piss this person off too bad. I mentioned in my last log I try to make player notes on everyone, when I do that I especially log ridiculous beats and if they happen to the same person I just stop playing with them, way too easy to have some rigged BS going on that site.

I DID IT!!!!
I put a beat on someone, although it isn't THAT gross, but the way I did it was kinda gross. I have AA68 one suit, someone raises and we get 4 callers, I was on the button, but very loose game so didn't try to isolate. flop comes down K 5 7 rainbow, check to guy in cutoff who bets like 3 bucks at a 10 buck pot, so I raise it up putting him on something I can ram him off of, he comes back over for just a couple more and I call him. of course he has the KK. I type in nh instantly and it peels off diamond diamond giving me the nut flush, so sick but in a good way one time!

my donkey playing
I think my major problem was finding the limit I am comfortable with. my bankroll can't handle too big and my ability to give a crap about the money at stake can't handle too little. at the level I have been playing it's been working out pretty well lately, finally logged a few nice wins and building up affiliate very quickly so maybe this will get me going for a while!
