I want to just say to any residents of Texas and Florida and the islands that were devastated by the hurricane, you have the whole country praying for you and also willing to lend assistance so you can return to some semblance of normalcy. The coming weeks are no doubt uncertain and I hope the damage isn't too extensive.
On poker, had an lol run bad Saturday to the point I temporarily lost my mind after getting slow rolled twice and losing with AA/KK 6 or 7 times. It was fun. . Looking forward to seeing how quickly I can rebound.

Last 3 or 4 sessions have been cringeworthy. I played like absolute garbage to be quite honest. Not even my D game and fairly certain I know the reason is I added too many tables again and I've stationed off more than enough buy ins. If September's graph is even close to BE at the end of the month, I will be happy.
Had a couple weeks off work traveling last month with my beautiful wife. Still managed to put in a couple of hands. October is in the books, on to November! GL!
Long time 2p2. After a lackluster performance for the first half of the session this morning, I snugged up my range for the second half and managed to book a win. I haven't posted a hand in a while and have one that was just so awesome...well I just had to.

Achievement unlocked: burn 2500 calories in under 3 hours.
My wife teaches group fitness and is a personal trainer for a living and I've been taking her classes religiously since we met over 4 years ago. Currently she now teaches 3 times a week, back to back classes. The only ones I've missed were when I was diagnosed with Lyme disease earlier this year. Last night one of the guys who also goes through it with me let me use his Fit bit (Samsung version) and after the classes I burned 2200 calories + 300 more in the 35 minutes after classes were over.
It's pretty amazing what can happen with your life when you take the time to take care of yourself, physically and spiritually.
Didnt read whole thread but scrolled down last pages and looked at the graphs. Seems like you are beating your stakes over large sample, are you aiming for some amount of hands at current level before moving up? Anyways, hopefully you are enjoying yourself while playing guess its all that matters at the end of the day

GL at the tables
I actually have a laughable amount of hands at 2NL and am playing way over rolled for your standard BRM. I was playing 5NL but lost 2/3 of what i have online playing 25NLO/PLO and as high as 50/1 PLO8. I went from winning/losing $4 pots to losing a few pots of $50 and $100. And thus, my 2NL journey continued.
As far as enjoying the game, I do regardless of the stakes. It's the game itself that fascinates me. The money is just a positive side effect of winning and making good decisions in the moment. It might be time to move back up soon since I can safely acknowledge I have been playing reasonably well lately and look to continue.
And thank you and likewise! .
It's strange how when I stopped posting as many hands ITT, I started consistently winning. I wonder if there is some mental correlation with me worrying less now about how hands might look instead of hoping for thread content. Maybe on New Year's Eve I'll post some gems from the last half of 2017 as there have been quite a few of them.
That graph above is all 2nl with a little 5nl sprinkled in. I'd say less than 2k hands of 5nl.
As far as hands per hour, it changed after 250k hands since it was at that point I added more tables. I went from probably 4-500 an hour to 800+. I'll have to look later to be certain.
My biggest accomplishment of 2017 I would say was recovering all losses from 10PLO and higher shot taking and doing so by grinding out at the smallest stake possible. That was a lot of fun, lol.
Good Lord, had a swingy session yesterday. I had off work so put in some decent volume. Almost 4k hands, 3 sessions, 8-10 tabling and managed to BE with the help of this insane succession of hands against the same V. Enjoy!
