So last night I was playing 5-5 NL at the Fallsview Casino, playing well and was up about $300.00, when this character sits down in seat 10.(Im in seat 2) It was shorthanded with about 6 of us playing. The guy who sat down seemed not to care about money and had a pocket filled with black chips. Every have the guy would raise from $25-$75 and apply maximum pressure to the nits, basically going all in every hand.

I look down to As Qc in the BB and seat 10 makes it $35 to go. The SB calls with a shortstack behind and I make it $145 to go. Seat 10 calls and the SB calls.

Flop: Js 4h 5h (Pot 435)
Sb checks, I check with the intention to check raise all-in vs the mark and he insta bets all-in himself for 900 and change. The SB deliberates and says "fuck it, I'll call" with his 100 or so remaining. So I studied the guy, picked up a huge tell and called with the AQ. He tables Ad-10h and the SB shows Kh-Qd. LOL ship it.
Turn: 3
River: 2

Gross.
No justice.

Just finished a small session of 50NL and I have tried playing less tables (4) too see how that works for me and to ease into NL50 this time. I found my decisions were a bit better and I booked a small win. 5.4/100 in 750 hands.
After some thinking I feel I need to improve a few things about my lifestyle that I will be doing in the upcoming weeks.
1.Try and get on a better sleeping schedule
2.Go for a 20 minute run each morning.
3.Start smoking less each month.
4.Make time to keep in touch with family through e-mail.
6.Purchase a decent bed.

Also I got my Full Tilt t-shirt and casino quality deck shipped to me today after a long 3 week waiting period. but I did not have to pay any fees as previously stated in a thread. So that's good I guess. Looking forward to getting a second monitor soon.

Good luck at the tables.

So after beating 25NL in about a months time I set myself a goal to beat 50NL in 30 days. 10 days in I have played maybe 8500 hands so far and I am honestly pretty disapointed and frustrated. Tonight being the 3rd time I moved up to NL50 and ran horribly being forced to move back down.

My results have been pretty bad but looking at all my hands in PT I really should be winning a great deal. It seems I just play NL50 get a combination of set over set/set vs overpair/overpair vs FD or something and it knocks me down to 25NL. I crush there, move back up. Repeat. The thing is, I really like how I am playing right now. But I seem to lose a VAST majority of the time when the money goes in vs a short stacked player. It sounds strange but it seems the players at NL50 are actually worse than the previous level. They are throwing money at me, but for some reason... getting there.
