I am Iron Man

Well, the silver version at least. I fulfilled my final day of FPP points required to reach the "Silver" level on Full Tilt's Iron Man Challenge. I learned a lot in the past month during this process. I learned that there are a lot of really bad players playing the nickel/dime games. This can be a really good or really bad thing. I was slightly profitable most of the days playing at this level while reaching my 50 FFPs required. However, there were about 4 days where my losses exceeded $10 per day and 3 days where my winnings exceeded $10. What I found was that people will play, bet, call and raise with anything at this level. The key is to pay close attention to your opponents and take good notes. Find out who is willing to push in all their chips preflop with 7 8 of hearts versus my JJ. Yes, he hit his flush for a $4 pot, and yes, he actually said "TY" when i typed "congrats" in the chat box after the hand (obviously i need to work on my sarcasm skills). Anyway, I fared reasonably well in the cash games and earned a $50 bonus (which I have to clear in January). I am hoping to use what I've learned this month to become more profitable at these games in January while clearing this bonus. At that point, I should have a bankroll to support a move to the dime/quarter games

Mooooovin on up!!!!
