WSOP Step 4...
So the last few days have been pretty uneventful. I played the Party Million MTT and had no chance as I busted soon after the 1st break. In the first hour I had to dodge AA with my KK and then get of a set when a guy obviously rivered a flush. I got in a few thousand hands of NL200 and am down about $100. One good peice of news is that I have moved onto Step 4 in the WSOP steps on Party. 1-2 places get to go onto Step % (the final step) and 3-5 get a replay of Step 4, and so on.. I feel like if I play my best and am very patient, I have a legitmiate shot at winning the WSOP package worth $12k. Here we go...!

4/20 Update...
So after my recent success in some MTT's, I have been able to take a shot at some higher NL 6max games. For me those hogher games are 200NL with 1/2 blinds. For once in my life taking a shot at a higher limit has been going great! After 3,507 hands, I am up $725 running at a healthy 5.2 ptbb/100. I will continue playing these games until things turn sour. I hope to get in another 10k hands before the end of this month and continue winning. I may allow myslef to play in the $640 Party Million MTT on Saturday. I have always wanted to give this tourney a shot, and I feel like this may be a good time for me to take my shot at the $200,000+ first prize.

I'm baaack! This time it's for real...
So as I said in my last entry, which seems like it was a year ago, I have been very busy with school and my "real" job. As a result, my poker playing has been cut back, but I am proud to say that I have been studying alot and am going to make a comeback by way of NL cash games.
Now for the fun stuff. this past week I satrted palying MTT's again and I have had insanley good results. I made 3 fianl tables this week in $100+ MTT's on party. the crazy thing is that i got 5th place in all of them. Slightly dissapointing but I still made: $3k, $2.2, and $3.3k. As usual i got my money in good 2 of the 3 MTT's and caught a cooler on the other (QQ vs KK - 5 handed). this has helped boost my bankroll and I am now able to start playing some NL200 on party. I hope to get in 50k hands at this level and at least a 3ptbb/100 win rate. I played about 22k hands of NL100 over the past month at 2ptbb/100 but felt I was running kinda poorly.
Edit:
I started up 3 tables of NL200 6max, epecting to be instantly humbled, but alas, my heater continues with me up $350 in my first hour. Holla.
