online poker update: yes, I'm in korea

Ok, so here's the update. I was planning on playong on Party Poker and Pacific, but I don't have a bank account here. So, I'm stck playin on Poker Stars and Full Tilt. My online bankroll was small (because I wasn't confident in my online skills) so I had to play small. Originally, I multitabled 6-Max NL, but that got boring. So, I did what I usually do when that happens, play higher limits :) Unfortunately that didn't work out so well, and I was down to kess than $60 on Full Tilt (I didn't touch my stars money to play higher, so I wouldn't go completely broke. Smart boy, eh). Then I had somewhat of a moment of clarity. Instead of reloading onto Full Tilt, I decided to pull a Fergusonian experiment. Chris Ferguson (spelling?) tried to turn $0 into $10,000 starting out by playing the freeroll a few years back. He actually succeeded too. So, I decided to begin my road back from the depths of the red bottom line, by playing sit'n'gos. To date, I've played over 1600 sngs, and have made $700 doing it. I never got bored or tired playing cash games, but sit'n'gos are so gruellingly similar. I've gotten my maximum table threshold high enough so that now I can play 12 tables at once. I've also noticed something strange happening to me. Since I've forced myself to play lower, I'm stressing out over $50-$100 swings which are significant portions of my bankroll. Have I finally learned to appreciate the cost of a dollar? Will I ever tip Pat more than a dollar? Tune in to find out on the next episode of: DAVE'S ADVENTURES IN POKER CYBERSPACE!
