Well I finally got out of the funk that I was in I think. Today was the first time in about 3 weeks that I even opened up Bodog to play some poker. I told myself that I was going to play a short session to see if I was ready to jump into the waters of Bodog again. I played two short sessions tonight. I played one 30 minute session before supper and I played a one hour session right after supper. This was my favorite hand of the 30minute session before supper. I won about $7 in this short session.

I really hate when someone tries to check raise my CBets!!!!!

No showdown. BJJIII wins $71.50.

I dont know why I wasnt at full stack I usually am. I think I lost a nice pot before the hand came up and I didnt reload in time.

These guys need to learn to fear me!!!!!

The second session after dinner was a little more entertaining. I really didn't have many big pots to talk about. I just took down a couple $20 and $25 dollar pots and I ended up winning close to $95 for the night.

I was currently on a 4 BI downswing, so this little win helped boost my confidence.

I currently am sitting at $1,100 on Bodog after having to withdraw some money to finance my little strip club excursion in New Orleans. I still have $1,000 in my live roll that I hope to put to use really soon.

So my total BR stands at around $2,100.

I got a big trek in front of me if I want to reach my goal by Jan08. Wish me luck!!!

Oh and by the way Bodog has gotten 400% better on cashing out. I requested and received my paper check through FEDEX in 4 business days total. I now can say that I LOVE BODOG AGAIN. It used to take close to 20 business days. Mmmmmm good.

Good Luck
