Update...

50NL is still going well, even though I've only played about 9k hands. I'm up a total of $801.55 which is 8.89 ptbb/100 hands. I was up around $900 until today's 450 hand session. Here is proof that I can run bad sometimes too...

^^^lololol fish.. but thanks for checking the river in position.


So that proves that in just 450 hands I can lose a couple buyins without getting stacked once. I think I played every hand above just fine, but who knows... Anyways, Tunica is next weekend. I don't think I'm playing the $550 tourney anymore, but I'll probably play some cash games and a couple $100 tourneys, just to lower variance and lessen the pressure :)... Well that's all for now.. About to go to a friend's house and drink some beer and have a little live tourney for $10 or so.
