Best of luck Slevin.. I've trolled your other op, and am pullin' for ya man!
Thanks guys it's great to have your positive vibes It means alot - cheers!
Was having some teething problems with the new site, it's Ipoker. I can't multi-table stack which was a bit of a nuisance as it doesn't seem to work at all randomly doesn't give focus to the right window... and I only have a small monitor! But then things went from the sublime to the ridiculous... earlier today they told me that my ISP wasn't supported when I couldn't log in .... LOL! Anyway seems to have resolved itself now.
I've cleared my book bonus which is nice! I'm also up for the day now, so all in all a good day! Things are going nicely 
Edit: No longer up for the day =( in fact day two closes with a loss of 73 cents after 1k of hands.
End day 2
It was going so well you wouldn't believe it. Then I got stacked twice for 300bb, and 250bb - two stacks I'd slowly nourished over the course of about two hours - ARGH! But I sit back and reflect how well I've done in the past two short days, How I've still almost doubled my bankroll and this helps me to escape that sick feeling of being whacked over the back of the head and robbed!
Interesting developments of a mental nature... I'm noticing a change in my attitude towards losses now, usually I'd immediately want to buy back in for the full amount (250BB's) or just buy into a $10 SNG. The stacking happened within moments of each other and once the gut churning facts set in, all I wanted to do was shut the tables down to preserve the rest of my bankroll. It's 2am so a good as time as any to stop.
Not the ideal mindset to be in, a month or two from now I'd like to be unphased, and want to continue impassive and emotionless when this happens, but I'll settle for that bankroll protection instinct any day lately, it's far better than wanting to gamble the loss back by playing outside of the bankroll.
Realise Slevin this isn't a loss. It's simply an arbitrary line in lifetime graph of hands. Tomorrow is another fresh day and new opportunities to develop the bankroll.
Yeah! this is the mindset I'm going to cultivate from now on. I've just renewed my GS membership I think I'll take some time away from the tables during the morning/early afternoon tomorrow and swot up a little
