My First BAP

In order to solve the problem of being underrolled for 5nl, I decided on a whim to run a Buy-A-Piece (BAP) on Full Tilt's message boards. Basically, a bunch of people give me money to play poker with, and I get a small share of the profits that I make off of it. It's going really well so far. I've already made over $20 in just 3 days at 5nl Rush, about $10 of which comes back to me.

The swing of variance is definitely coming back to me. I've gotten AA and KK probably about 20 times since the BAP began, and I've been getting paid by them as well. I'm hitting flops, hitting draws, getting people to fold to my light 3-bets and bluff c-bets... it all seems to be working. Either I'm on a big heater, or 5nl is a much better fit for me than 2nl.

Hopefully I can keep this up. The BAP runs through the entire month.
