$2K buy in, $30,000 chips and 50min levels day 1, 60min levels day 2 and 3.

I have been playing very well and my game has def gone up a notch. I am making reads and making plays I have never made and my results show that its working. If you read LAKONGS blog, I cashed at the Bike $300 w/ 1RB, went out in 14th out of 137 with 19 spots getting paid. I took lots of sick beats and have no idea how I made the money.

I played the Hustler Thursday night deep stack 2 days later (5k chips,25min levels) 103 players, final table gets paid. 6 players left I am in BB with $75K (blinds are 6/12k with 1500 ante). Folds to SB who shoves for a total of $60K. I hate this spot, but know I am ahead so I call. He has 94 and flops a 9. Out on next hand when I have $6k left after posting $6K SB and ante. Paid $1025 for a $255 buy-in, so I am happy that I cashed and played well.

I finally decided to start really tracking my wins/losses, and since 3/31 I am up over $5K (all live). I am winding down my online play, the beats are too crazy and too frequent, too many 1 outers, i give you guys credit for doing it.

I personally love Deep Stack and can't wait for this weekend. If you have any specific DS advice/tips, I would love to hear em. I'll post each day during the tourney to keep you all updated.
