Background:
A quick introduction to myself:

- I'm an 18 year old student.
- I'm from the Netherlands, the land of Marcel Lüske, Noah Boeken etc.
- I started with a 50$ deposit and worked from there.
- I play since 1 October 2005
- I currently play 100NL.

How it went
As stated above i started with a 50$ deposit after whoring the FTP play money tables. I started watching the lower stakes NL tables (10NL) and figured they were about as hard as play chips. So after i turned 18 i was in a homegame that was twice a week and where i usually was a "big" winner. I also heard of a story that Online Poker actually can be beaten for huge sums of money. So there i went.

Openened up my first 25NL table (i thought 2 buy-ins on any levels should be more than enough).
And picked up KJ UTG. OMGGGGGGGGGGGG RAISE!.
flop K102
and i was all-in quicker then Phil Hellmuth ever could.
I got called by a donk with K9o and i felt on top off the world, doubled my bankroll in 2 days so i moved up to 50NL... i mean 2 buy-ins common.

several times i jumped up and down up and down, i let my friends play on my account an awfull lot 2, and that wasn't all that bright, they lost more then i could win, and sometimes i was left with 5$ in my account. Ok i won over 300$ but that wasn't in my account but in the Counter of the Snackbar(they paid me cash for what they lost). I think i got very lucky to survive all that and decided to take things more seriously. From December or something,

4 tabling 25NL FTP, i didn't have PT or PAHUD or something but when i got it and i put all my HH's in i found out i beat it for a solid 6.5 PTBB/100 over 60k hands. What happened to all that money?? I still had the habit of when i won 30$ i would play a 22$ tourney, so i still had a small profit, but then the next day i lost more and i started over again.

It's when i found out about BTP and started taking things even more seriously (20 buyins for moving up) and when i found out about bonus whoring.
I saw this sweet 500$ deal for party and decided to go there.
Played Break-even for 2 weeks and started to beat the game for a small profit.
FTP vs PartyPoker is water and fire.

in 1 month i got my bankroll up to 50NL.
I beat 25NL 8 tabling for 4 PTBB/100 while adapting to this brand new site.

I beat 50NL to smithereens 8 tabling for a solid 7.5 PTBB/100 over 20k+ hands.
the next month i got my bankroll up to 100NL and there i am now.
I beat 100NL 9 tabling currently for 7 PTBB/100 and expect to see a downswing set in soon.

Calling the first raise was pretty questionable, because of the people acting behind, and calling the rereraise was even more dumb. Still i still don't think it's totall spitting especially not when you see how the hand turned out.

Button flips over [9d] and the other [Qd]

Played 1 hour 4 tabling 200NL just to get the bonus done, god fucking plz i shouldn't have.

down 350$ (250$ with bonus)
Lost a stack, donked off 35$ calling an allin from a 20BB stacker with 66, had a solid read he didn't have all that much, but he had 77 instead. Lost about 60$ trying to hit sets in raised pots, the stack off is posted in this thread

15k Guarantee Report 6$ Rebuy <===== RIGGGGGGGED
I feel cheated.... After 1 hour 4 buyins i'm at 11k which is praticaly just my 4 buyins without 1 chips more or less. Pretty sad, anyways we get started and most of those players still think it's push any draw time and i get my stack solidly but slowly up to 20k which was M:20 at the time.

Establizing Connection........
Connection LOST

I hea from "someone". Who is also playing this tourney, he's a proffesional live player but plays this kinda tourney's online 2 and from his record had some really nice finishes. Back to the matter, connection lost and he explains me that they will now cut the pricmoney in half spread it evenly over the people remaining and take the other half and devide it by chip count. This would make my night break even but not all that bad. I go downstairs watch some soccer, go upstairs turn up PP,

Taking you 2 15k Guarantted Table #5

%^&*#$%!@$!%

The Tournament continued somehow and now there is a guy with 175k Chips in front of him, when i left he had 110k.
WTF, i find myself sitting on 8k chips (blinds at 800/1600 and right around the corner. The guy i just told you about was left with 4k and he got busted with A6o vs KQ.
The blinds cut my stack in half but i manage to double through with AKs OTB. 14k chips.
Couple hands later i pick up KK UTG. I limp and call a reraise all-in (my original plan) and back to 34k (M:11). Next hand shortie pushes in and i call in BB with ATo vs his 44. He doubles. 3 Hands later it's folded around to me in CO and i push ATs (both blinds behind kinda short). The exact same guy (44) calls with 88 and i don't improve. Byebye tourney.

Solid sesion, a slight beat to my overall PTBB/100 on 100NL which is currently :
7.45 PTBB/100 6.3k hands.

Hands : 2936
Won/Lost: 40$
PTBB/100: 0.66
Hours: 5.87

MOOD: Very Frustrated

I'ts party party time @ party and WTG walks away with 40$, wtf. that's not me.

I'm stunned.. I spitted 130$ in one hand with JJ vs his QQ, in retrorespect he would play TT (overpair) the exact same way but stilll.

It's really going shitty today and at the moment i really question everything i do.
Any big draw i get doesn't get their and i'm starting to believe i misplay.

Did some analysis over my hands and the biggest lost pots were still huge suck-outs, so i earned alot of Sklansky dollars today and yesterday, but that doesn't pay the champagne i wanna buy each day.

Graphs 100NL 1 - 17 june:

I wouldn't be worried about that graph, WTG. You might have flatlined the last 6K hands, but that's just normal variance.
