Well I just played my 2nd session of poker since the break.
I was playing on 4 tables at once and had decided I was only going to play my 2nd session at the tables for 1 hour before taking a break for at least 1/2 hour. The starting bankroll was $104.87 CND which is just over $95 US The new current bankroll is now $103.02 USD yep I won $7.80 US
All in all I am calling my 1st day back at the tables a win.

Well it is time for an official announcement. I have been able to get the money issue between one of stakers and I worked out after my hoops being jumped through. I will be officially starting the bankroll challenge dark horse run on Monday 27/01/2014. It will run until March 27/01/2014. That should be two months. We each have an equal share in the event and will split all profits 50/50. I will be removing all my extra money on PokerStars to fulltilt in order to avoid any confusion about what money belong's to who during the stake. be cool

Well it is 2:15 am Atlantic time which is 6:14 GMT. I am wide awake so since it is now Monday the 27th, 01, 2014 I am going to officially start the Dark Horse staked Bankroll Building Challenge Run. I will begin playing on 4 tables at 2:30 local time and play for a minimum of 1 hour per session. No single session will run longer then 3 hours without at least a 30 minute break. Time to go to work. I hope to play 10 000 hands per week. we shall see be cool

Update time
Well I am play the 0.01/0.02 NL cash tables The max buy in at all the tables was $5 The end of round two leaves me down -$7.5 I think I will just start doing daily updates so on day 2 i will update the final total for day 1. I hope to at least be ahead. Been a shitty day so far with people chasing everything all the way to the river. I normally like calling stations but when they are sucking out on the river it bites. be cool

Good luck Ronin!
Nice to see that the challenge finally started. Just keep playing your A game. I know it sucks when people get their gut shots on the river or runner runner outs, or call a big three bet with 10-2o and get 2 pairs on the flop against your KK.
For what I read before I know your are not currently using HUD. I would recommend that you download a trial and try to play with HUD. It will give you an advantage in the long run, as long a you will be able to indentify fishes from regulars easier.

Well I have been looking on youtube at some hud videos to try and figure out if I want to give one a go or not. I think I would use it mostly as a tracking to and graph creator. Would be nice to be able to use the visual graphs to help look for up and down swings. be cool

I most definitely recommend using a hud even if it is just for tracking your own statistics and graphs, you might even find out if you have a leak in your game just by checking some of that information. Glad to hear your checking into it and I wish you the best of luck at the tables. P.S don't stress the suck outs, just take a break until you realize that your playing good and that's why they are suck outs.
Nice start Ronin!
