Starting BR: $44.55
Ending BR: $45.34
Well I made it to the half-way mark for my penny table BR play. I'm just over $45 right now and once I get to $90 it will be time to bump up to the $.02/$.05 tables. But for now I'm just happy to be at this mental goal of being over half way to the next level. As long as I keep playing well I should be there by the end of january or mid february barring any major set backs. This is my last post of the month so on Monday I'll do my November round up and show how my bankroll has grown this month. Its been a pretty good and consistent month. I'm pleased.

Inching closer...
Starting BR: $44.40
Ending BR: $44.55
Once again I was over the $45 mark today but I had running quad 4's beat me when I made a read on a guy. I flopped the top pair, and Ace, and he bet. I called him putting him on a miss. Which was true, until the turn have him trip 4's and the river quaded him. So I doubled him up. Not much you can do when you make a read and go with it like that. With his preflop raise I didn't put him on 44. Oh well. Up on the day still, although only a tiny bit closer to my goal. If I get there tomorrow I'm just gonna be done playing for that session...

up and down again, but up...
Starting BR: $44.12
Ending BR: $44.40
I was at one point up over the $45 mark. But I got chipped away at when my cards dried up about mid way through the session. I couldn't even flop a pair. I made a good play against a player when I sensed he wanted to roll. He was getting antsy and wanted to get some chips in the pot. I had AQ and flopped an A. It turns out that he too had an A with a 6 kicker and I took down a nice pot. Like I said before, I float for a while until being chipped away. Ended up $.28 on the session. A positive session is a good session.

Just fooling around a bit this evening waiting on some laundry. I got a chance to play back at a bluffer when I had second pair and took down a nice pot.

Its a good thing I was playing on two tables today. It doesn't happen very often that I bust my buy-in but when a guy is drawing a gut shot to my two pair and back doors a running nut flush, you know that you weren't going to win no matter what. So thanks to that and then flopping a flush only to be outflopped by the same guy there goes $3.
However! On the other table there were two guys going at it pretty hard with their bets. There was a raise to 8, and a reraise to 13. There were 3 people in front of me commited already and I had A Q. So I called. The original raiser went all-in and the other guy called, it was $1.82 to me and I made the call. Well I won. One guy had KK the other guy had 8 7 off suited. I took down a $5.52 pot and I'm up $1.11 on the day!
One table horrible, one table great. I love how the odds are exactly that, the odds. And, over time, they are always right. :)
Don't forget to comment. I would love to see who is poking on in and viewing my progress.

Nice long lunch session...
Starting BR: $40.10
Ending BR: $41.97
I climbed ever closer to that halfway point at my penny table level. Today is one month that I have been playing now. I think it will probably take me until sometime in February to get to the next level. December is a short month for me because of all the holiday stuff going on. I should, if I keep at this pace, break the halfway mark next week and hopefully get up above it a little. I'll have 4 days to win $3. Its doable if I play smart.
JJ is usually my enemy but today it took down a fish that was pushing all-in with a little over $2. Next hand he went all-in for .53 and another guy at the table took him out with JJ again. So it was the devil hand once again, just not to me this time. Big change from normal :)
If you stop by feel free to comment. Good luck to anybody going hunting on Monday, especially ME! haha

Got up over the $40 level..
Starting BR: $39.90
Ending Br: $40.10
In an up and down session, I knocked out one guy. That put me up, and the fish nibbled at my profits for a bit until I decided to walk with my profits. Its nice to be in that $40 level right now since $45 is the halfway mark until the next level. Its been about a month now that I've been on this adventure. I started at $15. So that means that being at $40 makes me up $25 which is 166%. I would say that is a good push. I'll do a monthly recap at the beginning of each month from here on out.
Tomorrow as everybody here in the States knows is Thanksgiving. I won't be playing. I will be playing on Friday, as I have to work so that I can get the following Monday off. That is the first day of deer season and so I won't be playing then. So I'll play Friday the 23rd, then 4 days the following week. The Monday after that, December 3rd I'll crunch some numbers and get a nice recap written up for the month of November.
Enjoy your thanksgiving everybody. And don't forget to give thanks to who it matters most, God. :)
