If you’ve been following my progress, you’ll know that a week ago I had managed to get 13.50 BB / 100 hands for my first 705 hands. That’s about $95.

I now have 1635 hands in PT, showing a win rate of 14.57 BB / 100 hands, adding up to $238. I tell you, it’s fantastic out there. I can’t recommend it enough.

So what’s next? I guess I’ll build up the bankroll to cover 300BB and then either move up to the $50 tables or start multi-tabling. Playing more than one table will be difficult, since my notebook screen is only wide enough for 1.3 tables, and it’ll take a bit longer to be able to learn my opponents. Even while playing just one table in today’s 20BB winning session, I managed to fuck up one hand completely. I had a gutshot draw on the flop and the pot was paying something like 7:1. Instead of calling, I folded like a tard. I think I was distracted by my poker blog browsing. The turn would have given me a flush draw, and the pot would have been paying 5:1 for my 12 outs (this is a perfect example of players making the mistake of betting too little when they have the dominating hand). Anyway, the river would have given me the nut flush and I had odds to call the entire way. So will I make costly mistakes like this while playing more than one table? You bet. Better learn to focus.
