Well my first journal got buried deep deep into the old posts so i decided to start a new one.

Who am i, I'm a 25 year old Argentinean guy who started playing poker around almost 3 years ago now while i was living in the US. Now back home i'm trying to put enough hours at the tables to try to make a steady second income, i still got a job that pays really well.

My BR as today, monday, July 17 is sitting at 5.8k

I'm currently playing $100 NL and $200 NL at party, both levels 6max , three tabling ( i was playing four ) but i feel more confortable to play three and been able to do a few other tasks while playing.

My expectations?
Well between Bonuses + Winnings at the tables + Rakeback i hope to reach the 15k - 20k BR at the end of the year

Cashouts?
ii just took 1k after taking 3.2k at a tourney at PP, and my idea (dream) is whenever i reach 20k, take 5k and start looking at investments. Anyways i'm still far far away from that, so right now i just have to keep on a steady game at the ring.

Well... played for Hour and a half today at Empire $100 NL 6 max. was up around $120 but lost a bit holding AQ flopping a Q against a guy with AA...
Still 1200 hands away from clearing Empire's bonus, bowled league tonight... did pretty good 228-201-224-195
Now i'm pretty tired to play so gonna go watch some TV and go to sleep. Between tomorrow and Saturday gonna try to finish clearing the $200 bonus.

Well, played A LOT of hands today..... 2500 hands been a 17.6 / 7 player.

and i can say i'm down for the day for been a total donk, sometimes i got problems finding the fold button , and instead i tend to push the call and raise button....

kinda tired right now, and not feeling like taking the time today to use the hand converter and posting hands... but as i said at least i'm gonna start posting daily results.

Well, Is Wensday and i didn't even play a 1/4 of what i exepected for the day... 6 tabled for like 30 mins, enough to pull 326 hands and 76 bucks, besides that a pretty regular day... had to bowl league, did ok and then went have dinner with friends ( we talked about bowling like for 2 hs ), i came back home i was ready to play but my aunt started talking to me on the MSN so i talked with her for a while and then started watching Kill Bill 2 again on cable, so no more poker for the day.

Well what can i say , first played for 2 hs on friday and got a beautiful $559 out of party $200 NL 6 seat ATM Machines, i can say it was pretty sweet because over 800 hands i only lost 8 hands where i gave more than $10 to a lost pot, they where 55, 37, 32, 24, 19x4times i think i manged to do really good folds where i felt i wasn't strong enough, even one hand where i raised preflop to $8 got reraised to $24 getting a low flop and folding to bet on the flop.

Then at night ( considering it Saturday ) i put 1111 more hands... where i started getting really spanked, and start doing questionable calls , like calling reraise on the turn to all in while i was holding TPTK (prolly shoulda folded there and not lost a stack)

ALSO getting a great read on this guy.... and.......

Then i had the following hand where i called a raise ( i like to see flops with small pairs ) and reraise ( i only called the reraise because i was closing the bet round ) and got lucky, not sure if is good to play the hand like i did, but i supposed that both of the other guys where either like AK and stuff like big pairs... anyways the hand was mine.
