Well, the bet is over. I WIN. As of 10:10 est I'm up to $101.12.
I'm actually suprised at how easy of a time I had. Granted I ran really well, and only caught a few bad beats through out the whole thing. I ended up with less than 19 hours of actual play time.
I must say this is the most fun I've had playing in quite some time.
My bud is already trying to think up a new prop bet to give himself the chance to win his money back. I offered him the same bet with him playing, but he turned it down instantly.

Prop Bet
The Bet, I have 48 hours to turn $.50 into $100. My buddy gave me 4-1 odds, so I bet $25. If I win I get $100.
I started grinding the .02-.04 yesterday at noon. I turned it into $2.32 in just under 3 hours. I then had enough for 3 $.60 SnG's. My plan is to get enough cash to play 3 at the next level, with a 4th buy in, leftover, so I could move back down if needed.
In my first set of 3, I cashed 2 with a 1st and 3rd, which got me up to $3.67. So, I needed to play more before I could move up. My next set of 3, I only cashed 1, but it was a win, so I was up to $4.12 before I called it a night.
So I wake up this morning, and decide to play 2 $1.20's instead of more $.60's. I cashed both of them, a 2nd and a 3rd. So I'm now up to $6.42. I'm currently playing 3more $1.20's. If I keep running OK, I don't think I'll have much of a problem.
I'll update more later tonight, or tomorrow.

Oblivion Elder Scrolls
I've been way too into this game to play poker. I have almost 100 hours, into this game, in the last 2 weeks.
The break, while not badly needed, has refreshed my mind, and now I'm starting to want to play poker again, so I'm pretty sure I'll be back to playing again, this weekend.
Over the holiday weekend I played 2 freerolls with a LL($25)bet against my cousin. We split. The first, he got 2nd and won the LL, and the other I got 54 for $.29 and won the LL.
Freerolls are alot faster then back when I used to play them. A 5000 man freeroll was over in under 5 hours. It used to take 6-7 hours for a 2000 man one.

Numbers
The more I play, and the more I read, the more I realize that I need to learn more about EV, equity, and all the other stuff.
I'll admit that when it comes to playing poker, I don't use numbers other than the basic stuff.(pot odds) And I don't even use them that much. To me, poker is more about situations, than anything!
Yet another goal!! This is getting to be almost worklike.

Thursdays!
Every Thursday I play a live game with my friends. It's usually only 8-10 of us, and its more about the BS than the game, but money is money.
It's a $25 buy in with one $10 rebuy! It's very deep stacked,(50k with the rebuy),but the blinds go up every 10 minutes! It ends up taking around 3 hours usually! Most of the guys are fish, but not clueless!
Last night I was the first one out, as they were all gunning for me, because I had won the previous two weeks! I was doing pretty well, and ended up getting my money in good, but was called, post flop, with an open ended str8 draw, that was caught on the river. GG ME!!
Anyway, I ended up dealing, which was pretty eye opening, as i was able to peak at mucked cards.(he-he)
Not much else to report, as I only played a half dozen SnG's all week. Tomorrow I'll be back at it playing the $5k, $4k, $10k, and $3k on AP.

Saturdays AP mtt's
I only ended up playing the $5k, $4k, and the $10k. I played good poker for the most part, but all for nothing.
In the $5k($10), I shot myself in the foot with pocket tens, when I didn't give a guy credit for having a seven when the second one hit on the turn. With a 274 flop, I bet 2/3 pot, he called, the turn was a seven, and I pushed, he called and flipped over 79o!! That's what I get for mini raising UTG with 10's!!! Game Over
In the $4k($3 re-buy), I ran into a bully, and again didn't give the guy credit for hitting the turn! The villain has been very agro , he's showed a few bluffs, and is not afraid to put chips in the middle!!! I don't think I could have played it that much different! Here's the hand!

Tilt control
I used to never let beats bother me, but I'm on such a sick downswing, that it makes them so much harder to shake off!! Not that I get all out of hand tilted, but I've noticed it seems to throw off my concentration for a few hands!
Yesterday I played 4 SnG's and the $1 re-buy. I basically got knocked out of all of them because of beats. 3 of the 4 SnG's I got knocked out of from donkeys calling with crap, then catching runners. I know I want the donkey calls, I just want to win once in a while when they do call!
So, another goal I have, is to stop allowing donkeys to tilt me, I play low limits where there are more of them, and I need to remember that!
Anyway, today is a new day, and I love the current AP weekend schedule! My role is still too small to play the big games, but I usually play the $5k, $4k, $10k, and the $3k.
