I was hoping not to start out my backing on a downswing but that's not how it's worked out so far.
I'm not going to get into too many details regarding specific amounts and details about the staking but I will continue to update my MTT graph and you can draw your conclusions from that.
Also, I'm trying to figure out (using excel) how to change the color of the data on the graph where I become backed. You'd think it would be super simple but I'm struggling with it. If anyone has a solution please let me know, if not I'll keep messing with it.
In other news, I'm in the process of moving to Vegas right now and for about the next week. While I'm not going out there to play 10K buyins or twenty-five events at the WSOP or anything, I do know that poker is in my future for at least the next few years. I might as well live in Vegas for a while, maybe longer.
Also, houses out there are incredibly cheap at the moment given the housing bubble and the state of the economy. I hope to be purchasing my own home sometime in 2011 and getting a great deal on it.
That's it for now.

Backed
Big news: I'm no longer playing on my own.
This is not a permanent thing. This allows me to open up my range of buyins and play slightly higher daily tourneys and a much broader Sunday schedule.
I haven't figured out yet how this is going to affect my blog. The graph at the top of the page that I've always kept is my own profit from grinding up my own bankroll. I don't think I want to mix that graph with my new staking results.
I'm completely open to suggestions on how I might merge my own results with my staking results in a way that makes sense.
Well, I have a good feeling about this. Wish me luck!

Quick Update
Haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd throw something up real quick.
Just got 4th in the 30c on FT. Also finished 9th in the $10k Sniper on UB tonight. Got 3rd in the 30r on UB a little less than a week ago. Stars has been a nightmare for me as always.
In my last 286 tourneys I've made a whopping $133.48. I'm starting to really question whether or not I can make 100K this year.
I keep saying/thinking I'm running below expectation but maybe I'm not. The game has gotten so much harder. More aggressive players forcing more showdowns. The edges are getting slimmer and I just don't think you can really rape it anymore.
I'm obviously feeling pretty negative and burned out right now but, who knows, maybe I'll hit some kind of heater or something and hit my goal after all.
