For today I made my first video review. It's quite boring to watch how you play, but for me its a MUST to improve my game. How did you mark hands when you play for a later review? The plan for now is to clear the bonus on PartyPoker, withdraw money and put it into PokerStars to get the bonus. 
didn't played much today, because of school+gym. I think I will play a few hundred hands tomorrow.

Had a really good day today. Played 800 hands with 10$ profit. Finally I am feeling that I can beat NL2. ♦ Finally my graph goes up. Find one really big leak in my game which I think cost me some buy-ins. Fixed it.
GRAPH
Also played 5 10c MTTs without scoring in any of them. I just hate trubo tourneys. :/ And also have a plan about my withdraws. ♦ I will withdraw my MTT winnings. Since I will use 100 bi rule for MTTs it won't be a huge part of my bankroll. I have 111 partypoints and need 189 more to clear bonus, I have 30 days left. Hope I can do it. Kisses :* And yeah, one more thing. I can't wait snow. ♦ I remember few last winters. Got my old VAZ into the moat and had some fun with old russian bike called IŽ Planeta 5. ♦ Iž Video ♦
And Vaz pictures. VAZ VAZVAZ Lovely car. Ain't it? It cost 160$! ♦

havent posted here for a while. Some things have changed. I am playing SSS for last few days, because have just 6 days to clear bonus. But today is the last day of SSS. I hate SSS. ♦
Then I will switch back to BSS NL2, because my bankroll is back down to 70$, it was 100$ before SSSing.
I also hit my first straight flush some weeks ago.

I have new goals for next year. I want to reach NL100 till summer and get Supernova on stars next year.
I will try to make weekly overview and at the end of month monthly overview of course.
Week 02.11.2009-08.11.2009
I've started to use Elephant because mt PT3 trial is over, but I am going to buy it when I will move to NL10. Also got my 17'' crt monitor back. 
Playing NL2 on Stars. I will write my progress till next limit in % and % till NL100.
Maybe I will move my Partypoker roll (67$) on Stars(19$) to start playing NL5 maybe I will withdraw it and spend on my nameday party ♦ .
In this week didnt play much much poker(900 hands 
), because of school and hunting. So here's the graph for this week:
Moving to NL5(125$) 15%-------------- :spade:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moving to NL100(2500$) 0%---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19,10$
Week 09.11.2009-15.11.2009
Really bad week, not just in poker. Again hadn't much time for poker, just 1k hands. . Also got ill. On Sunday I went hunting, we got 8 bucks, 2 deers, 1 elk.
I am really sucking at the poker now. But I know it's because I dont have enough time for it. I have a goal for this week. Post at least 10 hands.

Hello sick people. No weekly update because I withdraw 25$ from my 26$ bankroll for personal reasons.
I was reading forum and saw lennonac wanted a challenge. Some people advised 5bi rule challenge. I couldnt sleep tonight so thought about challenge with my 1,34$ bankroll on stars. I suck pretty much on MTTs. Maybe this challenge will improve my game on those. Since my nameday is on 30th of November and challenge ends on 29th I hope I will be happy not sad about it. ♦
So here's the deal.
- I play only SNG MTTs on stars. 45,90,180,360 or 990man.
- I move up a limit once I get 5BI for next limit.
- I move down once I get 5 BI left for next lower limit.
- I will be playing just 1 table.
- Challenge ends on 29th of November 2009.
- Challenge starts after this post.
Good luck to me. I will post some updates.
Hello!
Again some whine post.
Challenge failed because my HDD broke down + I had to withdraw all my bankroll to buy a new one. Now I am back to playing.
Playing NL2 BSS. But feeling really sad. Why? I am Breakeven on NL2...
From now I am going to use JQ's VoI(value of improvment) system for learning motivation. The goal would be to get the most VoI of pokerstrategists after some time. ♦ JQ's blog really inspired me, everytime I have dealt JQ it reminds be JQ's blog. ♦
So
-Every read or reread article gives me + 2 VoI
-Every video watched or rewatched gives me +3 VoI
-Every live coaching gives me +5 VoI
-Every hand posted and discussed gives me + 1 VoI
-Every 1000 hands played gives me + 1VoI
Thanks for the VoI idea JQ! And btw Current VoI - 0 ♦
VoI gave me improvment withou even learning. ;D No, not really. It has been a reall good week for me. And I have to say thanks to justkyle88, he find the real leak in me "not putting knowledge into action" he said it on friday to me, I went to my country for weekend, came back on Monday and started to crush NL2 I won 8 buy ins in ~1k hands, and yesterday I doubled up my bankroll, it's now 50$. Record winnings for me.
I am using very aggressive bankroll managment till I reach NL10. If I have 8 buy-ins for next limit I play it. Why 8? I play 6 tables and I leave 2 buyins for rebuying. If I have less than 8 I don't play that limit.
In these days I really didn't fell like learning, but I reread 3 articles and played 6k hands so it gives me +12 Voi.
VoI - 12
Bankroll - 50,92$
So the week is over and it's time for a little update.
Fourtunately I am up this week and since last update.
I will post my graph and you will see some swings in it. The first place where graph goes down and the biggest one was just coolers - set over set, straight over set and 2 KK vs AA but it didn't disturb me to play my A game, I understand that it's part of game. And the other 2 downs is from my bad play I guess. And I think I'm playing too loose postlop. 
I have also placed 3rd in one 90man 25c SNG and got 3,15$ 
I have started to read Harrington on Holdem vol. 1. I really enjoy it, and I know it will help a lot to my tournament game, of course when I will finish all 3 books.
The graph.
As you can see it's now on it's highest point. ♠_biggrin:
VoI update - I have been just grinding and reading book. I have 5k played hands so it's +5 VoI.
VoI - 17
Bankroll - 76,84$
New year new goals!
The goals for this year are really big, but that will be pushing me more to improve. I guess I will make monthly goals and yearly goals.
Yearly goals for now for 2010!
- Move up to NL200 BSS (minimum bankroll 5000$)
- Reach Supernova on PokerStars(100 000vpp)
Monthly goals for January
- Move up to NL10 BSS (250$)
- Become SilverStar on PokerStars(750vpp)

How to build a bankroll on PartyPoker with partypoints?
Join 50pp 500$ and final table it!
