SNG's
I played about 30 SNG's over the weekend and just made a little money. I played in about 10 Mtts and broke about dead even. Pretty even weekend. I am getting close to having my computer completed.

8th
I came close. A decent finish. It is hard to keep winning HU matches. I think I won 5 in a row. Came close, two more wins and I would have got 1st.
____________
I don't know If I will ever play a 1,2,3 dollar tourny again. I played for 4 hours and only made a 6 dollar profit. I played basically perfect poker the whole tourny and took two beats in a row to send me to the rail. had 90K in chips AQs vs K10 all in preflop for 50k each flop comes two Ks. A couple hands later I get AA push the last 50K of my chips and get called by 55 and 77. flop comes 2 2 5 and I am out. I am disappointed that hand couldn't hold. That would have made me chip leader down to 30 people.

Bluff Poker Tour
The Bluff Poker Tour is starting this Thursday. Make sure you are signed up. This looks like a good third season.
My computer stuff is making its way in. I got one of my monitors today. I have completed 75 $6.5 turbo's and am just slaughtering them at a 50% ITM and 45% ROI. I will post my stats after each 100 I complete. I have been 4-tabling, soon I will be able to 8-table and hope I can maintain the same ROI. I will play 1000 before I move up. I need to start practicing alot better bankroll management. The next level is a $16 Turbo on Pokerstars.
As wierd as it may sound I am saving up my Pokerstars FPP for a 50" plazma TV. I need like 160K FPP's to get it. It will take me a long time but it is something to work toward. I think I have 5K FPPs now. Eight tabling the $16's and 27's (if I make it that far) would produce a significant amount of FPP's
I am really looking forward to the start of the Bluff and Blogger Poker tours this week. And yes I will win both. :)
Good luck.

Update
I have been playing a decent amount of poker the last couple of days. I have been four tabling 6.5 turbo's and winning at a really good rate. I find it very simple to 4 table, I shouldn't have a problem 8 tabling once my new setup is here. I hope I can continue to tear these 6.5's up. Hopefully I will be back to my normal grind pretty soon and start to make some serious headway with my bankroll. Until then gooooood luck.

New Computer
I am cashing out a large chunk of my $ to build a new computer. It will be pimp, I will post pictures when I get it complete. It will basically be a:
- ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD (Motherboard)
- Seagate Barracuda (Perpendicular Recording) 320GB 7200 RPM (Hard Drive)
- 2GB (Memory) - haven't decided what brand
- (2) BenQ FP93GX Black 19" 2ms LCD (Monitor)
- AMD Athlon X2 4200 2.2GHz (Processor)
- VGA e-GeForce 6800 XT (Dual Monitor Video Card)
- 16X/4X Double Layer DVD+/-RW (DVD Burner)
- Wireless Keyboard & Mouse
- Ultra Wizard case
I don't know how much money I am going to have left after I buy all of this. Once this is built I should be able to play 8-tables at once. I will probably 8 table SNG's for a while. I just cant handle playing on my "4yr old, 15 inch monitor, e-machine" anymore.
I am really pissed I missed out on the mansion bet knowing the steelers won!!!!
I will still post, it will just be a couple days to get $ straightend out.

Stop Loss Set:
It is a shame that I have to wait until I lose alot to actually set this. My stop loss is set at $400. If I lose $400 in one day I will get up and walk away for the day. If you you see a post with more than a $400 loss please place a comment and rip me a new ass for not following my own rules from here on out.
Thanks
I am also going to stick to .5/1 and 1/2 until my roll gets back up to 2k.

Well it was bound to happen. I had a bad day and boy was it bad. I was already overplaying my roll but I went to the extreme today. I took a couple ugly beats at the 1/2NL tables droping $300. I was chasing my losses and was on tilt. There were no 2/4NL tables open so I sat at the 5/10NL table with a full buy in. That was a mistake. I blew through that in about an hour. I must admit I am a retard and blew half my bankroll taking a shot. The funny thing is there is hope, the 5/10 level was full of idiots also. I took my losses and turned the computer off of the day. It is rebuild time, and I need to set a stop-loss for the day so these things don't happen again. I am confident I can make this money back plus some very shortly.
Cash Games: -$1158.93
Note to self: don't play 5/10NL with a 2K roll. Although I do fell I have the balls to play those limits. I don't seem intimidated by players or the amount a person bets. I think I played my hands correctly, I was just unlucky.
MTT: $0
None
HU SNG: $0

Thoughts:
Yes I am retarded.
