Last week's profits so far:
Tomorrow probably I m making 2nd shot at 100nl (4bi).
I hope to run some good this time 
Still need to practice concentration, among others, since I noticed that many of my mistakes are due to the fact that I' m not playing even my B game in many many many cases 
After some hands I managed to turn the total sample at 100nl to be.
Next task would be to survive for 100K hands being be, or slightly winner at least (and hopefully) at 100nl. Currently I have 10bi threshold before drop back at 50nl (this shouldnt happen!!!)
Then only from rake back one can make $1500 / month with 3-4h/day of play. That would give me the means to improve more and faster.
Nice blog! will definately follow.
Question: What is your reason to play on FTP instead of Pokerstars or iPoker?

Thanks, you are welcome
No specific reason, got $200 bonus, have that cleared (not all of it :().. and since then I play there.
Probably I ll change to Stars if ever move 200nl though.

Not happy with my results. Keeping a break even route doesn't help mentally..
And I realized one huge leak: I barely know when I should bluff the river.
Hope next week to end +$ with some positive > 0.0001 bb/100 win rate.

I bluff everytime then I have 0% of wining @ sd.
Haven't update for a while since things didn't went as planned.
Had a guest also, so volume dropped down.
One good thing is that I played first live tournament in a poker room here in Dublin last Saturday and
end 5th out of 49 players winning $60 prize (bi $25) + $40 from roulette with my free chips -given to newbies in the room:)-. Was really fun!! Might I play some cash also there in the future since everyone looks fishy :)... or drunk + fishy!!
After 40K+ hands unfortunately had to realize that shot at 100nl failed:
Last sessions was kind of cooler happy.
That is have to put a step back.
I ll be playing 50nl for November - December, trying to build roll (current state $4300 without ftp bonuses) and track how it develops.
January probably I ll start putting some volume in Stars and eventually move there.
When I reach 7K I ll put 1 table of 100nl hoping to never look back again..
Sub-challenge to gather 250K ftp + buy new laptop remains -though might take more time:(-
Current state: 78745 FTP (31.4%) + $200 from previous FTP conversion (not included in bankroll)
Last week at 50nl:
hands played: 5875
bankroll: $4293
FTP SUB-CHALLENGE
FTP: 80799 (32%)
