Been too busy and lazy to blog lately. Yes you can be too busy AND lazy to do something, dumbass. Trust me.

I have actually been playing a shitload of hands this month. I've played something like 30k hands already this month which is like twice as much as I played in all of August. Granted, most of it has been like 10 tabling 50NL just for practice / fun on Stars, but still, lots of hands. Not so much profit though.

I think I'll be playing on Stars for a while. I miss it a lot. The software is at least 98% better than Party's. And for some reason I can put in marathon sessions way easier. I think its because Party lags my comp so much that after a few hours its virtually unplayable. Besides, Party stopped giving me rakeback so fuck them in principle.

It was fun building up a bankroll on stars (because I'm obviously too lazy to actually move funds from one site to another). I started with the last $30 I had on Stars, and just grinded my ass off. I started with a few $6 SNG's for a while, then when I got up to about $100 I 4 tabled 25NL, and just went from there. Took me about a week of play to get up to $1k. My goal was to build my roll up so I could play 200NL with 20 buyins, but I then thought, what the fuck am I doing wasting all my time trying to build a roll when I already have one?

But it is a neat experiment to do. Its comforting knowing that even if I went completely busto I would be able to come back playing at least 8 tables of 50NL within a week.
