What a night!!
...the whistle blows and off to happy hour. I join some friends and we meet up for drinks over at Nottinghams in Columbia, real nice bar but nothing cheap about the prices. I drink from 5pm-9pm with plans to get home and go party in Federal Hill.... well I never make it. I get home around 9'ish I am tired so I take a nap and don't end up waking up till 10:30pm, I jump in the shower but in the long run I was too tired and did'nt just feel like partying anymore so I decide to play some poker on Partypoker.
Another great night, I had my biggest single night win ca$hing for $700+ online. I was two-tableing 1/2 NL again and it just seemed like the drunks were out on a Friday night or something because people were throwing money around with horrible hands and I was getting paid left and right, I would have never imagined my initial $200 investment would grow to $1,560 but it has. Now I have to think do I want to go up to 2/4 or 3/6 NL or just stay at what I am making money at? We shall see.
I am having a live game today and I look foward to the action, always good times.

Since you have a real job bankroll isn't that important, but if you aren't planning on making any redeposits I'd recommend waiting till you hit 5k to move to 2-4. I see people move up with great initial success all the time, but the ones who do this always go bust eventually. The players that wait for their bankroll to support the move up, and move back down if it falls below the required amount are the ones who suceed long term.

Doug,
I appreciate and respect your advise. I am going to stick to 1/2 NL till I reach a larger bankroll. What limits do you play online and how did you hear about my blog?
I'm currently playing 2-4 and 5-10 NL as my main games, but I started with 1-2 NL. I play mostly on full tilt where some of the games are alot more solid then party, so I play in the game that looks easiest at the time regardless of limit. I also use pokertracker with the gametime addon which is very helpful. It gives you a heads up display of the other players stats. This may be less useful on party as you won't be playing the same players as frequently. I played in a home game with you, and wondered why in the hell everyone was calling you Joe Black when you introduced yourself with a different name so I googled it and found your site(i don't do much work at work).

Doug,
Congrats on playing and making money in the higher limits. What game did we play together at E's in Greenbelt, Robs in Odenton? Just trying to put a face with a name. Things have been going good lately, I will put up another post tonight.
