...its' always tough, when it arrives. The Downswing. Or let's say the first loss.
I just lost over $100 playing NL$100. Actually the session started good, but there were some coinflips, where I had not the best of it.
The main hand was:
I had KK and raised to about $4 from early position and only the Button called.
The flop came Txx (with two clubs). I bet ou the pot and got minraised. This special opponent always did this so far when he was on a draw. The only possible draw out there was club flush draw. And since I had the Kc I decided to put in right there on the flop. So I went All-In and he instacalled with AcQc. The turn was a blank but the river brought another club.
OK this is pretty normal and there is nothing really interesting about this hand. But so far I went so good on AP. I really had a good run of cards. And you always hope that it will last as long as possible. But once you lose 1 Buy-In you get frustrated.
Right now I'm still up about $150 for october and october is still young, but hey, I was up over $250. Damn...
My goal is to end october with a plus of $500 and I think it's still possible.

Bye bye Everest-Poker
Yes, I quit Everest. And I feel a bit sad for leaving the most fishy side on the internet. But I wanted to help my bankroll a bit, by getting a nice bonus.
So I decided to deposit at Absolute Poker. There you get a 100% first deposit bonus up to $500. That sounded too good. So I signed up there.
Absolute Poker has a great layout. I love their playing cards. They look so real. Not like these crap-looking Everest-cards. And AP has convertable Hand Histories, yeah!!!! The times to convert the Everest hands by myself are over. And AP has a good VIP-programm and a nice shop for stuff like T-Shirts and so on...But the best on AP is, that you can Buy-In for 200BB and the minimum Buy-In is 40BB. That means i.e. playing NL $0.25/$0.50, you must at least buy in for $20 but you can buy in for a total $100. That's cool. I hated those shorties on Everest, where they bought in for $5 (10BB) at NL$50.
All in all I am quite happy with AP, only the SnG-section sucks. They increase the blinds every 10 hands and the structure sucks as well. But I am mainly playing Cash-Games, so I don't care that much about this.
My first to days were pretty tough but I somehow managed to make a plus of almost $50.
(including -$100 playing 4 tables $1/$2 LHE and +$200 playing 2 tables NL$100). So all in all it was a very swingy start.
Summary: AP is tougher than Everest by far, but it's beatable as well.
