Day 1

In the absence of a job this summer i have decided to give poker a go. I found a couple of hundred dollars lurking around in pokerstars, so thought i'd see what i can turn that into. That means a lot of SSNL grinding. Urgh. Today went ok, i put in 1.3k hands and i played reasonably apart from one brain-dead bluff attempt that cost me half a buy in. Here's a pokertracker screenshot for today:

Pretty demoralising to play that many hands and to win so little. I'll give it a couple more days, but i might have to put some more monies in so i can at least grind $100NL. We'll see. Furthermore, i want to play a lot more than 1.3k hands a day. Ideally i'll be aiming to play at least 2k, but this might not be sustainable. Here's the graph for today:Today: +$89.50
Bankroll: $272.04

Once i get past $300 i'll play a lot more $50NL, leaving myself 10 buy-ins for $25NL (10 buy ins at $25NL = nearly impossible to busto!)

Plan for tomorrow is to not do any more stupid bluffs, and to put in at least 2k hands!
