And still coasting a bit. I can pretty much put it on auto pilot now and play ABC poker and SLOWLY grind up, as long as I don't hit any coolers. Case in point I just played 1.5 hours 2 tabling and ground up like 16 dollars. But if I try to get fancier I either do much better, or more than likely just piss away more money. So bah.
I will admit though that it is easier and easier to stay out of trouble and dodge the sticky situations.
Anyhow, going to take a break and hopefully play some more later.

Not dead
Just not been feeling well lately (Crohns, look it up).
Anyhow, went to Regina casino the other night and learnt a lot about my game. One I can get bored and start to chase too much. In the end I turned 200 into 315 but it should have been much closer if not over 400. And I would have liked more time as because I was there for work I only stayed from 9:30 to midnight. But whatever, it was nice to leave up.
And online still sitting around 1430. Playing right now and up a little, and trying to play tighter than lately. Gave away 50 dollars the last time I played once getting cracked and once or some being an idiot.
But the quest for 1500 is back on, gotta do it just for Felter. Will update after this session.

Sorry for the last post
Honestly forgot about it. (Although I am sure if I had won I would have remembered). It was a bounty tourny, and I did take out a celeb, so I now have $25 at HP again. LOL. But I went out when I ended up flopping open ended and four flushed and missed. Just could not get away from that juicy of a draw.

Time for a Tourny attempt
Logged into Hollywood poker because I knew I had a few poker points left there. So exchanged most of them to try Canada Hollywood Poker Night tonight. 114 people entered and it just started.....

I am ok...but just not that good.
As I sit here I think I have reached one of my goals...I think that long term I am a profitable poker player!! Wish that means that I would be rich someday, but baring some unlikely score in a tourny that will never happen.
I make this outlandish statement as I think I have proven to myself that I am capable of managing my bank roll (a definite strength of mine) but I am just not that good at opening up my game.
I mean I can play the 10 best hands with the best of them.
I am understanding position
I have standardized my bets and can hide some hand strength
And I have developed some aggression.
And I know...all great things....so where is the problem??
I HAVE NO BALLS WHEN IT COMES TO STARTING HANDS.
And I know this is what is the biggest road block in my ever having a huge night or my bank roll taking off. But until I am able to open up with 78 suited, and bet that flop then I am just not going to get there. I know it sounds like I want to play like a donkey, but I don't. Just don't want to have the image all the time of a straightforward ABC player. But unless I am playing at joker small stakes I just cant. Maybe with growing my bank roll I will be able too.
Anyhow, on that note grew things a bit more tonight. Getting close to $1400 so that is nice. At this rate I will be soon playing $1 NL again.....I did used to do well at that game back at Hollywood.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2167401 Pretty sure this was a good fold.....
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2167407 And this was nice but I should have slowed down on the turn and bet like 1/3 of pot or something to get someone else to come a bit farther.
