Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Fuck me. I just 12-tabled for 4 hours and FINALLY had a good session. I played a session this morning and dropped a few hundred to just..the most unbelievable beats ever, so the day wasn't great, but it puts me so much closer to my goal for the month i'm feeling great. For a while I was afraid I wouldn't make it but now I think i'll get there. Also I need 7k more hands to win my bet vs Shamdonk, which I think I can do too.

LOL Dan..I wish 
WTG - It's pretty average: AMD Athlon 64 3700+, 2gb ram, and my video card i think is an Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT.
I just played a hell of a session, 12-tabling mostly nl200 with a bit of nl100 and nl400 mixed in. Within the first 10 minutes or so I lost a stack with KK to AA allin preflop, then a stack with JTs to KK allin on a Q74 all diamonds flop, he had the Kd and hit, and i missed with AKs on a QT6 flop with 2 of my suit. Then I spent the next 3,000 hands hitting everything and crawling back to a pretty big win.
On an even better note, I HIT MY GOAL FOR THE MONTH. Here's a breakdown of where I made it all:
Tournaments/SNGs
Tourneys Played: 261
Total Profit: $3,865
ROI: 13.7%
Time Played: 58.3 Hours
Stars Cash Games
Hands played: 47,459
Total Profit: $4,093.05
Time Played: 78.17 Hours
Pacific Cash Games
Total Profit: $748.50
Time Played: 31.08 Hours
Live Poker
Total Profit: $1,497.84 ($2000 AUS)
Time Played: Approx. 65 Hours
Other
Profit from 1/2 Horse table: $120 in 1.5 hours
Overall Profit: $10,324.39
Time Played: 234.05 Hours
As you can see, i'm also incredibly close to winning my bet with Shamdonk aswell. I have about 36 hours to go, however i'm going out both tonight and tomorrow night so i'll have to play tomorrow morning to get the hands in.
I also took my first (proper) shot at NL 400 this morning and didn't find the games too difficult. I will probably make a more permanent move next month. I'm going to be away for most of Oct though, from the 6th to the 9th i'm going down to the Crown Casino in Melbourne (where the aussie millions are held) as they're hosting a "super poker weekend" with a $550 and $1100 tournament on friday and saturday night, so i'll play in those as well as the cash games and hopefully this time I won't come back as brutally sodomized as I did last time I went. Then from Oct 12th to Nov 3rd or so i'll be in India for a family reunion type thing for my Grandma's 80th birthday.
I cannot tell you how good it feels to finally have hit my target for the month.
