And my biggest suckout which I feel was unavoidable.

Is this a suckout or was this just misplayed by him? How would you guys play it? Would you think my turn bet convinced him that I had a made hand?

My new goal for poker is to play 2k hands per week day. I figure if I do that and maintain a decent BB/100 I'll be able to move up to $200nl pretty soon. I might stick in $100nl for 50-100k hands, but I still haven't decided.

Today started out pretty miserable. It was death by short stacks for the first hour or so. Here's the hand that got it all started.

Nothing like being limp raised from the button after a limper. I figured the guy for a moron, and there was no outplaying him on the flop.

After an hour I was down 1 1/2 buy ins. Finally things started turning around and I got back in the black because of this nice little suckout. I had a hard time believing this guy had anything more than top pair because he was super agro. My original plan was to steal on the turn, but luckily I hit a set.

After that things were up and down for about an hour. I went from +$10 to up $160 in about a minute and a half without stacking a single person. I won three $50ish pots and from there the day went along very smooth. I played a couple more hours and won a couple more big pots.

This next hand I had an inside straight draw and decided to call one medium sized flop bet in order to break someone. I had four outs and figured it to be a break even call, but the implied odds gave me all the incentive I needed. The turn was a ten giving me the nuts. From there I tried keeping my opponent along for the ride.

Anyway, there were a few more interesting hands but not much else worth mentioning. Other than that I've been trying to get my VP$IP up latley. Today it was 14.57, which is up from the previous three days. I'm still not sure what an ideal VP$IP is...

Well, today sucked a big fat one. FuckenA. I played 5.18 hours, 2,206 hands, and I flopped a total of four sets and two four of a kinds. I made $30 on one set, took small pots on two, and missed out on an $80 pot that got two shorties all in on the flop with me holding top set. The winner had AKs and rivered a flush. Both of the four of a kind hands were checked to the river with no draws and I took down small pots.

I have been playing a bunch of sit n goes, because once again I am stuck on dial up and the dissconnections are not as bad in sit n goes. I made a couple hundered bucks, but I have to pull it out to get a birthday present for my mom.

Current Bankroll- $4,015

I am never playing at Party again. I hate those c*ck smokers that work their customner service. Fuck Party. Now I am at Full Tilt

Things are going good. I just got Hughs Net, and the dissconnections are not too bad but they are still around. A bit irritating since the internet is $70 a month + $500 for installation. Its better than that f*cking dial up though.

I was getting my ass kicked by donkeys last night and I decided to order Card Runner after reading some of the testimonials. After watching a few videos I was all pumped to start playing again.

First hand in I get KK in the BB. It was mini raised UTG and I poped it to $9. Just the mini raiser called. Flop came 39T. I bet the pot and donkey bitch pushed all in. I insta call thinking if he has AA oh well. The bast-ard flipped over 9To. Turn is an Ace and the river brings me my lucky 3. I stack the bitch. Then, not even two minnutes later, I pick up AK UTG. Flop comes K high, two spades. I bet flop, get called, check turn hoping to check raise all in( really, really bad opponent). River brings third K, I check and the villian moves all in with a busted flush draw. I stack him.

To make a short story even shorter; I made about $300 in ten min. and called it a day.

Current bankroll- $4,350ish

Nothing really to add, but here's my poker playing setup.

Hey, I just started reading your journal due to it's recent upsurge in activity. I also play the 50's and 100's with regularity and will make sure to follow your progress. I also must say that is a very questionable paint color, lol.

As for the monitors what kind of resolution are those supporting. The one on the left looks to be 1600x1200 and the widscreen maybe 1600x1080? I also run a dual montior setup with 2x19"-1280x1024 they work out well for 8 tabling with the advent of resizeable windows from out buddies at party and stars.
