I have finally gotten the wantonness to getting back to playing tournament poker. This probably has to do with a 13th place finish in a micro buy-in tourney the other night. I managed to chip up pretty early in the tourney and maintained the stack throughout the tourney. Once we got into the money I chipped up to a top 9 stack and just before the FT bubble I get involved in a hand with AK. There was a 3x raise from EP, this player had been raising like this quite a bit, and I had a good re-steal so I stuck my stack in there. Well unfortunately this guy had to wake up with QQ and I didn't improve so I was sent to the rail. Was still nice to get somewhat deep again, and make me feel like I am doing the right things.

The $10NL project is still going well. I lost a few buy-ins at the beginning of the week, but had a great session last night, and it continued into my afternoon session today where I won about 4 buy-ins in about 2 hours. If I keep this up I will be moving up to $25NL. My goal is to get at least 25 buy-ins for the next level before I move up to it, but might add in 1 $25NL table into the mix and play 5 $10 + 1 $25 NL table once I get up to 20 buy-ins. The entire goal of this is to get up to the $100 NL level and get to where I can withdraw at least once a week, hopefully at that point I will be able to find a good withdrawal option, since the cash pick-up has gone bye-bye.
