I'd been winning so far this year. Nothing too special, but enough to think I was making genuine progress in my game. However, for the past 6 weeks for every winning session I've had, I've had 3 losing sessions, and I feel like I don't understand anything, again. I'm sure just looking at the graph you can see there is something wrong, simply by the ...

After failing hard and being too busy to put in the proper amount of time, I've come back to pick up where I left off as a n00b microgrinder... As I think anyone should I can beat NL2 very easily... I deposited ~$40 sometime in August, and for prolly 25k hands I beat NL2 at ~7BB/100... In my hand histories from Feb...

Over the course of my last 4 NL5 shots I am 18bi under EV over 9k hands. Back to NL2 again, I'm thinking... I feel like I've been playing decently. My red line is break-even or slightly above across the shots, however my W$SD is pretty bad in the 40s and I'm prolly 3betting too much. But I still can't help but feel that I can beat NL5 and that this is just variance. 9k hands really isn't a...

Every day I try to get myself to play atleast a few hundred to a thousand hands. Or so it was in previous months. I did take a bit over a week off to get married and do all of that. But man poker wise march has been tough. I'm staying true to BR and am quitting when i become tilted, but because of that I just can't get any hands in hahah [img]http...

[img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/4451109a98ebe3ccf44cdb118e77b936.jpg[/img] My red line is pretty breakeven, but I haven't won a showdown in 15 years. I'm not really sure what to change. I'm running 15/12 now in FR, I've tightened up in EP and MP but it "seems" ...

I haven't gotten busto where I would have normally. I'm having trouble with NL5. Horrendous Trouble. I am 11 buy ins below expectation on my EV graph. But that would still put me at roughly -20 buy ins at NL5 over 7k hands. I'm running 17/14/2.5 fullring NL5. I'm s...

I've finally got to where when i get really tilted I don't decide that it's time to jump up 3 levels. I was playing on Cake. The bonuses and rakeback were nice. I usually have to play on off hours though, so the table selections at NL10 were pretty wretched unless I wanted to wait in like 30 minutes and mix 6max and FR. In an effort to get the best of bot...

What I mean is that each segment of 1000 to 5000 hand samples of mine are always either an upswing or a downswing? Maybe my game has enough leaks to where breakeven points are also downswings? Always seems so black or white for me. Is this standard or did I change something I'm not aware of? (First 3200 hands are the first two days, and t...

I logged on this evening looking forward to cleaning some fish and to turn this downswing around. First orbit my KK gets owned by AA and I go on hyper-tilt. Here we are several hours later and i'm down far more than I thought possible. I don't understand what I've changed. Sure a few bad beats and some retarded tilt ...

There is something about cake poker. I like playing there because noone has HUDs and once my PT3 trial runs out I won't have one anyway and I don't wanna dish the money out. I also figure it's better to master what I can without training wheels... Top pair seems to be such a money loser to me, if I could somehow not lose the money I lose from my top pairs... Novemb...

I think I could be a winning player if I could just utilize more self control, and perhaps pay more attention while I'm playing. I catch myself not paying enough attention a lot. PT3 has me at 26/13 the past 10k hands. A vast improvement from where I started. It's showing as well. I am winning much m...

I used to also play a good number of micro tourney's on PS with mediocre results. Losing more than winning, but winning enough to play for quite some time even without -any- bankroll management. About 3 months ago I decided to make the switch to cash games. I've been reading... Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:01:57 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=547285
