oh yea, Don't discount Rakeback dude. $300+ last month for me, and I work full time. It'll cover some swings. And try some bonus sites for a change. Stars will help your game but not the roll. Nice run.
Thanks jyms (what does jyms mean anyway?). I was just having a rough time and I feel better about it now. As for rakeback, once I feel I start to get ahold o fmy game and beocme more serious I plan on switching to a rb site. However, as it is today I'm happy just chillaxin' at stars. Maybe next week I'll put some money over on ftp or something.

Yeah, I think I could have the ability to move up however I don't think I am ready mentally. I want to spend some more hands here and progressively moving up when I feel ready. At one point losing $200 in one hand was okay with me, but I have to "relearn" the security or something.

Yeah this is something I am learning fast! Poker as a job when it is a thought sounds like a dream life... but as a practice, totally different.

Thanks man!  This means a lot as I've been following your thread since you started it and I remember when you were having your massive downswing.... you looked very very strong as a person working through it and keeping a postive attitude; I look up to that.

Those hands I posted I was ahead, I didn't post the ones where I was making stupid plays.  But thanks man, I'm going to keep playing and hopefully I will just be able to chart this off as "one of those days."
