Since my past entry I peaked at $1410 playing Stud 8. I played the $3/$6 yesterday no problem and held my own. That put me on $1340. Today I played $2/$4 and I did well at first, it got me to my peak. But I was playing on PokerStars with my new $20 someone from 2+2 sent me as a thankyou for getting them HEM for free and towards the end of the session I got tired. The game broke and I ended up heads up first with Cyndi Violette and them some other guy who said he knew me from 2+2. Playing Cyndi was simple enough but this other guy had my number. He was good. I felt it inside but didnt want to admit it. I tried bluffing him 3 times and it never worked. I was sitting on around $1370 when he came, then he took ~$100 off me. Or rather, I gave it to him. I donked off because I wasn't thinking, just pressing buttons whilst I got even more fatigued. I kept doing things I don't normally do. I called it a night after the game started again Full Ring because I knew I would end up losing more if I stayed.
Before I hit the $3/$6 yesterday I thought it was a big deal to play that high. That fear was what kept me at $1/$2 and below with this amount of money. I can definitely handle betting that kind of money better now. So I've got no qualms about playing any $2/$4 FL game except my slight concern still that 300 BBs is not enough. Then again any time I go back down to ~$1000 I can just go back to $1/$2.

Meanwhile earlier in the day, I played a bunch of tournaments. Normally I don't play tournaments but I thought it might be a good idea to create a list in Excel of all the tournaments that aren't NLHE or PLO. Subsequent to that thought I played every tournament going from midday onwards, till about 5pm. I cashed in 1 for a paltry $4 or so, and came 3rd in the two $12 turbo PLO8 sit n gos I entered. So no profit on that venture, sadly only a breakeven one. I didn't take the tournaments seriously at all because none of them were for more than $6. If I had been serious I probably would've won both PLO8 sit n gos for $100 total since I blew the chip lead in both 3 or 4 handed.
On PokerStars I've been playing $0.25/$0.50 Stud 8. The game is piss easy to beat and I've already got myself to $50 before dropping a few bucks because of my rolled tens getting beat. Guy caught open trup deuces and got his full boat on 6th after I raised him on 5. Standard. I'm getting numb to that stuff.
The plan with the Stars money is to grind up from the lowest limits so I can have money on each site. All the time I'm on this Full Tilt stake deal I can't cash out any money. So with a Stars roll there's the potential for that some point down the line.
PokerStars BR: $47.75
PokerStars Peak: ~$52
Full Tilt BR: $1275.96
Full Tilt Peak: ~$1410
