Hello again readers! It's been two weeks since my last post and the bankroll has crossed another small milestone. I was camping last weekend so I didn't play for four days, but I had a good run before I left going up close to $40. Coming back I had three straight down days, but was able to recover most of it Friday and Saturday night. The $20 game has been pretty tough so far. The players are actually pretty solid, but they tend to try and bluff off their stacks to get their opponents off hands. Most of my big hands have been a result of that. Last night I won a $38 pot with AA when some clown went all in on the river with Q-9 off and no pair. Anyhoo, here's where I landed:
Play Money: 9,673,000 Down 820,000
Real Money: $1,102.46 Up $31.52
Target for next MTT level: $1,650 ($33)
Target for next Cash Game level: $2,000 ($100)
Target for next SnG level: $2,200 ($110)
This week I'll continue to grind the $20 cash game, but if I'm running well I'll add in some MTTs and SnGs to the mix. I need to have big weeks going forward if I want to get to $2,000. MGM Springfield opens on Friday and I want to go and play live $1/$2. That will help me boost a little. If I can get just a little more cushion I'll try my hand at the $50 game online too. I'm going to need more insurance than usual to get to the $50 game because if I have to drop down I go from $50 to $20 and it's actually worse than having to go from $100 to $50 because of the percentages. Bumping up before I'm ready will cause me to play too tight and miss out on opportunities to win big hands. I actually like playing 10-9 suited better than KK or QQ because there are more ways to make a hand but I tend not to play them unless I'm already up in the session. I'm really excited to be where I'm at right now, but I will not be complacent. Got to keep grinding!
