So I spent the better portion of my free time the past week creating a spreadsheet to track my sit 'n go results. I had one previously, but this one helps keep stats a bit better. I only played 3 SnG's today and won two and busted out in 8th on the other, you can see the hand if you continue reading. I only have 30 SnG's recorded so far, so my stats so far can be a bit misleading. Once I get some more under my belt I will post so more information. But basically I am up $75.00 since I decided to stop playing ring games and strictly focus on SnG's. I think once I double up to $300 I will move up to the $10+1 ones and see how it goes.

This morning I also had an interview for some contract work at a company that would basically include me setting up computers and such. Nothing too difficult but it would hopefully get my foot in the door so I could get a "real" job. It's been so long since I've worked I forget what it's like. Hopefully all works out and in less that a couple weeks time I am working. Then I'll use whatever poker winnings I can to help out my girlfriend with her bills.

Just a quick update on my friends $550 profit from a couple days of blackjack at Bodog, he lost it all. Yup, even his intial $100 buyin. Goes to show you can make money fast playing blackjack, but you can lose it back just as quickly.

I also have decided to stick strictly to SnG's with my little bankroll just for fun. Apparently, I suck right now and don't want to go into details but basically I played 5 1 table tournaments and 1 heads-up and ended the day -$.25. Afterwards I created a little spreadsheet to keep track of my results in Excel, so if I start doing better I might post the results here every so often.

A buddy of mine has come over a couple times this week and decided to deposit a hundred bucks into an online casino. After a bit of looking around and playing the play money at a few sites, we settled on Bodog. They offered a 20% bonus on your first deposit, not exactly a lot of cash, but a free 20 bucks.

So the first day he put $50 down on the craps table and within 10-15 minutes was down to $1. We moved on to Blackjack with another $50, and by the end of the evening had run that up to over $100 in profit, so with the initial depost bonus and his profit, he was up $120 for his $100 deposit.

Then he decided to come over last night and try his luck again. Needless to say he couldn't lose, other than a few minor times. He ran his money up and had an overall profit of $500. Then he let me play poker for a bit, just on a little .10/.25 NL table. I sat down with $20 and within maybe an hour or so had doubled it to $60. Then he started to play some blackjack again and started to donk away almost $100 before he ran it all back up to what he sat at before.

It's amazing and I have no idea how he is up $550 for about 5-6 hours worth of blackjack, just from his initial $100 deposit. Perhaps I should switch games.

[edit:] Forgot to mention that I have about $150 in Pokerstars now and basically keep going up and down around that mark playing the micro-NL cash games. I'm probably going to switch to some SnG's again soon.
