I finally took my first shots at 25NL ($25 buy-in/No Limit) last night.
I had a few bad days over the last week that slowed me down, but I managed to hit a few milestones anyway. I went well over 10 times my starting deposit, without ever needing to re-deposit. I hit Silver Star VIP status [...]
I’ve been a little slow on my posts lately, but at least it’s because I’ve been playing a lot, and not just being lazy.
In the last couple weeks things have been going great. I finally figured out a few strategy points that I was missing and it’s made a tremendous difference in my game, and [...]
The cash games have been going really well. The losing streak I started out on has completely turned around and I’m ahead 5 buyins now. I’ve also moved up my multi-tabling to 6 tables at a time.
I was nervous starting on 6 tables for the first time, coming up from 4. After about 30 minutes [...]
Well…Not quite. I’m still about half of a buy-in down, but almost back to even and in the black. If I’d played another couple hundred hands last night I’d probably be on the positive side already, but my net connection wasn’t being very friendly, and as much as I like risking money on cards, I [...]
I’m still down overall since I started the cash games, but only 3 buyins at this point. I was down as much as 5, and have been bouncing between 3 and 4 for a few days. My play is still shakey in some places, but I’m also having a run of bad cards that seems [...]
I’ve been a little slow at my play, and updating here. After my last update, I went on vacation for a week. When I returned I had a day or two to recover and then got hit by some family problems that have really slowed everything down.
So far the cash games seem to be what [...]
This past week didn’t go so well. The variance of the SNG games just gets to me on some primal level that makes me insane.
I worked all week just to finish up with less money in my bankroll than I started with. Not because I was playing bad, but because there’s just too much random [...]
Today (Friday) was definitely a good day. Nothing crazy, no new tricks, just straight ahead grinding through games (4 at a time) to make the most I could. I finished the day 10 buy-ins ahead, with an ITM rate of 57.89% and an ROI of 54%. A great day for me.
Since my attempt at the [...]
Apparently I am too stupid to know when to just quit and listen to my own advice and learn from my own mistakes. I make plans for myself, specifically to keep myself from getting off track and doing stupid things, and then I proceed to ignore those plans, and do more stupid things than I [...]
This past week was going extremely well until Friday. Somewhere in the course of the day on Thursday I decided it would be a good idea to try some new things on Friday in an attempt to improve on the volume of SNG tournaments I can play in one day. That didn’t go so well.
An [...]
