Well, my long-standing lucksack reputation is still well deserved. My first bits of 3/6 again were pretty tame, with a net positive, but we're still talking like, 7-8k hands, y'know, a blip on the radar.

From my low point to current high point over the past four or so days, there's a difference of... literally... 170BBs. And it's over around 2500 hands. It's ridiculous, really, but that's the magic of shorthanded LIMITED HOLD THEM. Here's to hoping this keeps up.

At this point, not only is my blog shipwrecked, but my 'poker life' seems to be too. I hop into IRC somewhat regularly but I haven't been around the forums in a long time.

However, I feel the need to update.

After my extremely long hiatus caused by going emo and quitting poker entirely while living on the money that I happened to have saved up... I'm "back."

Okay, so not totally. A while back I took the cash I had left online, which was around $200 iirc, and started trying to rebuild thangs.

I've worked my way back up to a reasonable 3/6 bankroll and I'm presumably on the path toward doing this for a living again. I've only in the past few weeks jumped back to 3/6 and I'm looking at it as sort of 'taking a shot' since the plan is to drop back down if my first run doesn't go so well. It's going well enough but not mindblowing: I'm running at around 1bb/100 for the last 5k.

I'm setting a new lame, extremely reasonable goal now: around 5k hands a week. I've got even...

Figured I might as well support this THPBlog thing, and drum up some readers for my other one.

So, for the uninitiated, I'm gonna crosspost the last post(s) from my livejournal blog, and point you all in that direction... I don't want to just use this thing as a crosspost dump, but I can't figure out quite what else I'd want to do with it. Give me a little time to figure it out. I might start using this for my more 'poker article' type things.

The Dells trip came and went. It was a lot of fun, despite the gambling being average at best. (We went to the Ho-Chunk casino one night) I guess I'm officially in the red for BOTH my Blackjack "career" and my Video Poker "career."

Oh well. I also got beat up a bit yesterday on zee poker front but not too bad. One of those KK loses to QQ, then two hands later loses to AA sort of days.

Tomorrow, though, is going to be a completely new...
