1st of many wins.  Here we goooooo.

Played 9 MTT's 0 cashes 3 dipish runs.  2 of the 3 ended in gross fashion like usual.

Today I played 22 tournaments in limited time only play 2 tables.  I'm still not feeling comfortable with the software.  Once I get used to it I will move up slowly.  It's amazing how many more hands how much more quickly they are coming.  My reads on players seem to come lightning fast.  In the live game it would take 1-4 orbits to get a feel for all the players.  At a 10 handed table 4 orbits is a long time.  Online 4 orbits was so quick.  I felt I knew where I was at, when I could get players off, when to just go for max value and over jam rivers because I have the nuts and I know he isn't folding so why not jam it.  It felt amazing!!!  

 

A big part of why I believe I felt so comfortable is my studying and evaluation of hands played and a SUPER huge part has been watching videos on TPE.  The videos have sure plug'd some leaks.  I've been very proud of my proggresse over the past year on my game.  

 

Today after 22 tournaments I went on to check my "stats" the nifty little website that displays my well stats.  It a very nice feature.  Normally I don't may much attention to results until the end of the month, but this feature and others I've been exploring and wanted to be sure I understood.  The stats page listed my 22 tournaments with a profit of $1.  I've gotta say it feels great to book a win my first day back (even if it's only $1).  One of my biggest goals is positive additude and positive energy through-out all my play.  Always looking on the side of OK now I have X chips what's my best play here?  Never play when tilted especially in deeper stacked stages of tournaments.  Just sit out online for a minute or go for a quick 20 minute walk between hands.  You'll only miss 2 hands in 20 minutes so don't worry.  

 

$1 let's go.  I'll except doubling the amount I win everyday for 30 days straight.  $ 536,870,913.00 is this too much to ask for?  I think not.  

 

I'll be back to post more of my progress as me being back in online is exciting (at least for me).
