NO LIMIT... huh?

In the 52nd week of my "pro" poker career, I decided to play some no-limit. I'm not really sure why. Maybe I'm just sick of being a 1BB/100 limit donk.

When I first started playing poker in $10 buy-in dealer's choice games in college, every game was played no-limit. But when I visited the Taj in Atlantic City, and signed up on Paradise Poker starting in around 1999 or so, the only low stakes games were limit games. So that must be how I started to consider myself a limit player.

As you can see from the graph, I've had a good start to my online no-limit career. If a year playing limit hold'em full time has taught me anything, its that I should try not to feel too high on the highs or too low on the lows. But I am encouraged by how things have started. I feel good. I'm having fun. This feels like poker used to feel. I'm making good reads and acting on them.

I played $1/2 NL 6max with a $200 buy-in, and only played 2 tables. I'm not quite sure what I should do next week. Add a table? Try some $2/4? I dunno.
