Three tabling at Full Tilt yesterday I had two crazy tables going where I was getting bad beat to death. After 350 hands, I was down $110. Which left me up $0.80 on FullTilt, counting the $20 of bonus.
I took a break and played another 50 hands two tabling, winning back $33.

I created a PokerRoom account some time ago when I was looking for another bonus, but it took all weekend to setup and then I forgot about it. BonusWhores blog posted a PokerRoom 20% upto $100 reload bonus, and I figured I could clear that much easier than I could clear $100 worth of [...]

I started playing at Full Tilt Poker for thier $600 100% bonus. The software is nice and it was simple to setup my account. The games so far are neither soft nor hard, but I think they are leaning toward soft in my few hours of play.

I am up $100 for the weekend. Nine sessions total, only two negative, and those were both kept small. Only playing an hour and 19 minutes, every session was short and focused.
Short and focused go hand in hand. It is easier to manage distractions and boredom if the session time [...]
I am up overall for playing online. It isn’t much, but I have been down about $100 for awhile now. In a run of six hands, tonights entire session, I played 4 hands and won all four, with 3 going to showdown. One hand I folded likely would have won in showdown [...]
And how little it was.
In the beautiful graph above, you will see my first consistent losses early own, when I was clearing my $350 in bonus money over my time off around Christmas. Then you will see a general up trend for a few months where it looked like I had finally clued in. [...]

I have been playing $1/$2 6-max limit since breaking the $100 profit mark for $.50/$1. Sadly, two Friday’s ago, I lost $60 and last Friday I lost almost $90. I have made up a lot of ground on those losses, but I am still down about $30 from where I was when I [...]
< .unwanted philosophical rant>
But… Poker is not a lifetime vocation. Why? It’s not constructive. It doesn’t contribute anything to the world. It’s leeching extra disposable income off of people. Providing them entertainment? No, I don’t think so, not like a movie or ballgame. Because they don’t come to lose. They don’t come to pay me [...]
