So I played a quick 4 hour session. I played with so much confidence. I feel like since BF all I've done is study, watch video's, read forums and play live when I could get out there. In total I played 72 tournaments from $50 buy-ins to $250 with my avg. buy-in being $133 to give you more prespective Since BF. 30 of which where field sizes 8-14 type 1-2 table things. The rest all fairly large fields 6 tables+. I feel like every tournament I played live I got better.
Today I played 22 tournaments in limited time only play 2 tables. I'm still not feeling comfortable with the software. Once I get used to it I will move up slowly. It's amazing how many more hands how much more quickly they are coming. My reads on players seem to come lightning fast. In the live game it would take 1-4 orbits to get a feel for all the players. At a 10 handed table 4 orbits is a long time. Online 4 orbits was so quick. I felt I knew where I was at, when I could get players off, when to just go for max value and over jam rivers because I have the nuts and I know he isn't folding so why not jam it. It felt amazing!!!
A big part of why I believe I felt so comfortable is my studying and evaluation of hands played and a SUPER huge part has been watching videos on TPE. The videos have sure plug'd some leaks. I've been very proud of my proggresse over the past year on my game.
Today after 22 tournaments I went on to check my “stats” the nifty little website that displays my well stats. It a very nice feature. Normally I don't may much attention to results until the end of the month, but this feature and others I've been exploring and wanted to be sure I understood. The stats page listed my 22 tournaments with a profit of $1. I've gotta say it feels great to book a win my first day back (even if it's only $1). One of my biggest goals is positive additude and positive energy through-out all my play. Always looking on the side of OK now I have X chips what's my best play here? Never play when tilted especially in deeper stacked stages of tournaments. Just sit out online for a minute or go for a quick 20 minute walk between hands. You'll only miss 2 hands in 20 minutes so don't worry.
$1 let's go. I'll except doubling the amount I win everyday for 30 days straight. $ 536,870,913.00 is this too much to ask for? I think not.
I'll be back to post more of my progress as me being back in online is exciting (at least for me).

Today
I forgot how disapointing so many deep runs in 1 day with 0 wins can feel like. The structures on lock seem to get real fast real quick at the mid-way point and it's just a shove fest from that point. Of course I've run like doggy poop, but I fully expect that.
Played 9 MTT's 0 cashes 3 dipish runs. 2 of the 3 ended in gross fashion like usual.
Nice little 45 man win to save the day. My first MTT win since being back to go along with the nice 3rd place I had as well. I feel like I've dusted off the rust that I was feeling in my online game. I've noticed how different the play is online vs. live. Still a ton of weak spots, but I've been surprised how how much more competent low limit players have played vs. their live low limit counter parts.
1st of many wins. Here we goooooo.
