Hey, Let's play poker again!

It's winter break, let's play some poker! I had $92.50 lying around on pokerstars so I decided to play some good old fashion, non-degen poker. Hopefully this blog will help me stay true to my words. For now, I'm going to play NL2, and put the 20 BI rule in affect. When I reach $200 I'll move up to NL5, and if I lose 5 BI I'll move back down to NL2 until I get back to $200. I'll up the BI quota as I move up the limits (hopefully), since I like to multi-table, and at higher limits I'm sure I won't be able to be on cruise control.
So, I started my quest to building my roll and after 5,849 hands at NL2, I'm up to around $179. At NL2 I'm getting 37.5bb/100, so you can see I'm doing very well. Hopefully I'll move up to NL5 after 1 to 3 more sessions. I'm currently grinding out a $50 bonus as well, which is taking a lot of time since I'm playing NL2. I'm going to hit the tables now, I'll update with some hands and what not, let the journey begin!

Edit: after about 500 hands, I dropped $10. I got some good hands, but hands like AA, and KK were cracked. My eye is starting to hurt, so I think it's time for me to go hit the sack.
