Up and away

woot I've kinda skipped 100nl and now up to 200nl! Well I did play like 30K hands at 100 but 1 day after dropping 5 buyins, I decided to move up with a 9K+ bankroll

...and dropped another 500 at 200nl making it a -1K day.

I felt really good though and so decided to stay at the level. Been away from poker a while due to moving homes and setting up the internet connection but I'M BACK.

Went to casino 2 days ago at the Empire with colleagues just for jokes and managed to have my first £1K hour! It was a crazy table and my very first hand was the below:

A few limpers including a crazy drunk 50-60 woman who I had seen open raise like 20-30bbs as standard.

I bump it up to 16 with AKcc after 4 limpers and 2 call me while the CDW reraises to 120, I shove and she snaps with 9Thh!

Heart attack flop 7h 8h 5c turn 4c river 5s ship ship 500 pounds in my stack.

A few hands later I pick up QQ UTG and make it 10 3 callers and tight passive on BTN with 100 stack makes it 25. I was going to fold but CDW in BB makes it 125 and has 200 behind. To just profit from her, I decided to shove my QQ. At this point, I'm feeling tad hot and stressed so I stand up and walk 2 steps away from my seat as I've shoved already so I can take a breath and chill out. Dealer and everyone at the table says that this makes my hand dead! OMG! I call for floor for ruling and luckily he says it's fine. Apparently there's a rule saying you can't leave your seat or else your hand is dead.

Anyway, after that scary 5 minutes, tight passive obv calls and has KK and CDW snaps with A6o

Another heart attack board! J22 turn is ACE! but nooooooooooooo river BANG Q! I ship 850+ pot bringing my stack up to 900+.

Few hands later shortstack UTG opens and I flat behind with AJhh as does CDW in BB.

Flop Jc 3h 6s and CDW donks 100 into 30, UTG calls for whatever rest of his stack was and as CDW has 300 behind I just make it 400 and she snaps.

Turn is amazing card for me 2h and river is decent 2c and I ship another 800 pot bringing my stack to 13xx.

I get a few drinks for my colleagues and cash out even though the CDW keeps rebuying. Sucks but I had to head home for dinner or else I'd be spanked by my mum.

Went to the cashier and they gave him a wad of 20 pound notes wrapped with a paper band in between! Just like those bricks you see on High Stakes Poker! Except the fact that they're 100 dollar notes and they have like 1000 of them to make a brick of 100K...but I don't care!

So all in all I bought in for 250 and cashed out 1335 with a profit of £1085 in 1 hour!

Epicness. The very next day (yesterday) my internet gets connected and I get home and continue where I left off! 200NL...

BOOM 1K day. I chase back all losses prior to the internet connection being turned off and establish myself as a rising 200nl reg who will terrorise the mid-stakes....

Well obviously at the very very end of my session I lose 150bbs in set over set but what can you do...I finish session up 700 but I check the clock and it's past midnight! So strictly speaking it's still a 1K day!

Midstakes here I come.
