I'm still around- I've taken about a month off of the game and now I'm plying with a BR of about 100 dollars on PStars again- back when poker was fun and I didn't have a heart attack over a 20bb downswing in an hour.I hope to slowly build it back up to its proper level again- I had a ton of fun doing it before. Instead of making money on it, though, I'm just doing it for the fun of it. Thanks everyone for the help and support, especially those who've IM'd me and wondered where I've been. Taking a break has seemed to help, for now.I unplugged completely from the game. No FCP, uninstalled all the stuff (kept PTracker because its such a hassle, but, I haven't used it even since I've started playing for kicks), I even avoided the WPT.Interestingly enough my first night back I did some heads up no limit- easily my weakest game. I killed the first two games, did really well on the third until the woman managed to double up twice in a row and put me away- and, well, I don't talk about the fourth one. JJ vs QQ on the 3rd hand in sucks. Dunno what he was doing calling my reraise all in. hmph.Anyway, just letting you know I'm back. IF there's any late night FCP tables on PStars for pennies, y'all know where to get me.

welcome back, hope you're doing better now.

i tried to talk here about that program, the RNG , not to talk about when to accept all in without to see flop.
You can accept all in whenever you want, or whenever you feel lucky, but in virtual room's is not like in reality. In reality anything is possible... in virtual rooms you can be "the one" who knows the future, or who can change the future.

I jsut heard he googled it.. lmaoMoral of the story: Don't blog with your real name.Anyway, I'm feeling a lot better, thanks. Just the pressure of going from knowing nothing about cards to trying to make a living off of a BR of 300 dollars. Glad to see so many people knew and cared. Thanks.Anyone have that NL article?

Good to see you back!I could see you were getting stressed towards the end. Hopefully you're back to the intelligent and funny norman rather than the beligerant norman.BTW, switch back to the bonzai avatar.

Suddenly I turned around
And she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists
And flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully
And took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
