Well i didnt get may hands in this week because im having a short week because im flying out to see the 2 Ireland Games in Slovakia and Czech Republic. Cant wait and great to be leaving on a good note. I actually wasnt happy with some of my hands in the last 2 days, played a couple of them bad and should have been at least 2 BI better off but overall the last 2 weeks ive been playing fairly solid.

I play a good few short sessions rather than 1 or 2 long ones and i think its really helping, im not getting many hands in compared to what i used to but as long as im playing well and making profits thats all that matters. After my Holidays i plan to use my profits to buy a Dell 2407 1900 x 1200 pixel 24" monitor which should allow me to increase my tables from the 5 i currently play at a time to 8 eventually. Ill work an extra 1 in at a time until im comfortable.

So my next goal is to continue to preform at this level for a month or two and then i suppose ill set myself some targets. My bankroll is now $3.1k and thats after withdrawing $800+ for my holiday, i plan to leave an extra $100 or $200 in when i have a good week and withdraw the rest to pay bills/living expenses on a weekly basis. The $100 or $200 extra per week will help when i do hit the enivitable bad patches but because playing 100nl seemed so far away i never really looked further so i just want to add consistency to my game now and my coaching lessons are on hold due to the coaches/my holidays but ive a huge amount to learn before im ready for 200nl. Also as im withdrawing money now as living/bill expenses my bankroll wont be increasing much but ive still over 30 BI's so ill be fine, if i decide im ready to move up ill start pushing money into the bankroll then but i wont consider moving up with less than 30 BI's which will $6000 and to be honest id rather have 40.

Lets hope things continue to go well but i may just be getting to far ahead of myself and will come tumbling down to earth soon. I wont be back playing again until probably the 17th of August and this will be the longest ive went without playing poker since i got into this racket a few months back, i usually never have a break of more than 2 days so it may be a shock to the system, then again im sure Prague and Bratislava will keep me more than occupied and since ive never played live poker i might even chance my arm in Bratislava or Prague
