Day 174 ... Move up maybe successful

HoldemPoker $ 176.68

HP ... $ 10+1 SnG Full ... 2nd ... + $ 19.00
HP ... $ 10+1 SnG Full ... 3rd ... + $ 9.00

Moving up to the $10 games maybe proving successful - too early to tell. I've been pretty disciplined so far, I used to play mostly $10 but with far too little bankroll and learned that lesson hard. I didn't plan to move up until I was well past the $200 mark or even fully square on my money but the $5 games were dead. My patience seems to be in check and long may that last.

HP ... $ 10+1 SnG Full ... 9th ... - $ 11.00
HP ... $ 10+1 SnG Full ... 3rd ... + $ 9.00

Or maybe not entirely - I'll have another bash tomorrow but I think I might just be staying down in the $5 for a while longer.

Total ... HoldemPoker $ 176.68 + $ 28.00 ... $202.68 (+ $ 158.68)
