Well it's been a good couple of days, and my bankroll has taken a swing for the better, and I've moved to NL25 now, I was a few $'s ahead of myself when I moved up to be honest but to offset that I will move down again at $80 should I start to lose!
I also unlocked my $50 bonus, hence the bankroll boost. And playing NL25 I think I can reach Silverstar by the end of this month on Pokerstars. But I'll see how it goes.
I'm 419 hands into NL25 and showing a $3.65 profit which makes a 1.74BB/100 hands, I know only a very small sample size and one double up or bust will change the dynamics dramatically but, I don't really feel any less confident to be honest, if anything I feel like the play is slightly better and the bad beats are not so common as people don't seem to call with such stupid hands when I 3 bet or move allin.... At NL10 the amount of times my A,K was beaten by stupid hands like 7,8o and J,Q was unreal, and A,K is actually a losing hand for me even though at least 60% of the time I went in ahead.
Anyway was just a quick update...
Bankroll: $139.69

Back From The Depths Of Doom!
Well after a rough couple of days, losses of both poker rooms forced me to merge my BR. So after dropping to like $35 on PS and then coming 2nd in a 90 man SnG on FT, which the profits were lost.... Lol
Anyway I had about $65 across both, so I got someone to transfer $30 from FT to Stars for me. And that gave me like $66 total....
But then after 3k hands of pure indulgent loveliness, I won about 15BI's (buyins $30) and that not only killed all the 11k+ hands dry spell I had and boosted me nicely, it made me just over break even for the month so far!
Made quite a few FPP's on the way and found out that bonus will only take 500 FPP's to clear.
Also, I've abandoned the double BR idea for now, or obvious reasons, and I am also debating whether or not SSS is a long term thing for me or if I should maybe try dabbling in Fixed Limit as I have always like the game, but never really had the BR to support it.
I will however continue with the SSS until I have cleared that bonus and got my extra $50, I just hope it's a bonus and not covering my losses.
I've started reading about FL already so, if I decide to make the move I will be prepared for it.
Clear PS Bonus: [ ] 353 / 500
Get PS BR To $150 to move up a level: [ ] $96.66 / $150.00
Learn advanced SSS: [ ] (Getting there)
Added goal..... Read more about FL [ ]
Total BR (including the pennies left at FT lol)
$100.57
Played just over 25k at the halfway mark of the month, I just hope the next 25k are on a more upward scale than the last.

The Plan....
Well as you can see I've been away a while.... During that time I lost a lot of my BR at FT, and I've deposited at pokerstars.
I am now playing 15 cash tables using a rigid SSS until I can grow my BR. I still have money at FT, but as I like thier MTT's and Pokerstars cash games..... I'll have to have two BR's.
So the plan is....
Use PS BR for cash games, on a strict SSS. At least until I get my BR moving a bit more.
PS BR = $56.53
Also Unlock $50 Bonus. I think this requires 5000FPP's
But as it stands in my bonus account it's 124/500
My FT BR will be only for MTT's $1 entries to start with.
Should I cash quite big in an MTT $100+ here's how it will work.
40% straight into FT BR.
30% Into PS BR
30% Into my bank account.
FT BR (what's left of it) $36.26
I am going to run the BR as separate entities, but if there is a big promotion on either site and the total BR can accomadate the required limit I shall merge the BR to clear the promo, then put whatever was borrowed from the respective site back, plus 50% of any profit made.
This blog will come in handy for tracking it.
Anyway, I am doing okay on Stars cash games, with the SSS, and sticking to it rigidly (although hard at times) I am now going to start looking into the more advanced SSS as I have mastered the basic SSS to memory now. I never have to look back on myself or refer to the starting hands etc.
So Goals as of today.
Clear PS Bonus: [ ] 124 / 5000 (I think it's 5,000)
Get PS BR To $150 to move up a level: [ ] $56.53 / $150.00
Learn advanced SSS: [ ]
As for the MTT's I am going to just play them when I am in the mood. As you can lose a lot of cash playing these. I'll enter 4 when I do decide to play. Maybe 2 x 90 man deep stack SnG's and a couple out of the lobby. But I like to keep my mind busy or I get bored and start making stupid plays with stupid hands.
I'm not going to post on here so often either. Just when I feel like it. So I may have daily results all in one post for a week or just added daily I dunno yet to be honest, but I just don't seem to want to write everyday is all.
Let's hope the downswing is over, and my play has with SSS will be less swingy.... Though I am not 100% convinced. I think the SSS is going to be a rocky ride.... We shall see.
Total BR: $92.79
