Bankroll: 180$. Profit: +40$.

I'm prety satisfied with Nl5 players. They seams as bad as NL2 players.

I'm thinking of moving up to nl10, when my bankroll hits 350$. Is there big diference betwen NL5 and NL10?

I'm playing 16 tables without using hud, (becouse my computer is to slow for hud while playing 16 tables). Is it posible to beat NL10 with good win rate without using hud.

Bankrol: 192$. Profit: 12$.

I reinstaled system on computer and downloaded new version of elephant, and it runs smooth while playing 10 tables. Damn hud helps so much. :)

Here are some hands i wuld fold if i were not using hud.

Without HUD i wuld probobly fold turn bet.

A LOT of things happend in last 45 days.... After that downswing, i went on tilt and withrawed all money from Full tilt. Couple days later, i won some cash on betting at party poker, and deposited that money at Poker Stars. I deposited 95$ there becouse i have first deposit bonus there. 40 days of playing there, and now i have 313$ and almost reached my goal NL10. But latley i'm on downswing again. Just a lot of coolers, and litle bit of bad play. :/
