July sucked pokerwise
~ - 1000$
August is very good so far
7 days played + 947$ mostly NL50 6max , some Nl50 HU
once again i realize how poker is such a game of Variance !
I eevn think that to become a succesfful poker player the most important thing ever is to understand how Variance in Poker works

When i was getting ridiculously sucked out the last weeks and ran like 20BI below EV in 15K hands i always kept saying to myself
-> I will make such a shitload of money as soon as the gay riggendness stopps
I played okayish and i always lost money when i got it in as a favourite
I really looked forward to when suckouts would stop
Last 4 sessions i run pretty decent 
just the average 2-3 suckouts in 800 hands ...
besides that i run sligtly above EV
Graph and rakeback
6max NL50 mostly some small Nl50 HU the last couple hands

+ 804$ in just 4 days of NL50 is really nice 
also won 16$ on stars of robinson47 in flips

fail day
PplusAD, Aug 03 2009
Made + 121$ in 1600 hands NL50 9tabling 6max
reuslts are pretty good 7.4 ptbb/100 (~15bb/100)
but i played sick bad ....
could have made around 300$ if i didnt do stupid shit all the time ...
I lost so much money getting in cockfights for no reason with my TPTK or QQ,JJ,TT hands on unimproved flops ...
if i should have learned 1 thing in the past weeks where i had my downswing
QQ,JJ on any undercard flop getting heavy resistance is never good ! u are always vs wired 2pair, set or AA
the times at 6max Nl50 where u have JJ on a 852 board and ship it in on flop vs K8 are definitely over 
well i am happy with the results but i hate how i played today
still hot start into August so far
+ 636$ last two NL506max sessions
:) good day
PplusAD, Aug 02 2009
EV equeals out in the end as long as u play good
today was the first session since a long time where i didnt get killed by the deck and dealer like mad
made + 10BI and some rakeback

Played some pokers the last 2 days and it was quite fun even though results were bad
9tabled Nl25 6max

EV + rakeback i had made ~ +120$ which is nice ( in the end suckouts will stop)
I got sucked out for > 1/2 BI in situations were i was a clear (70%+) favourite ~ 15 times in this
I lost 4 of 6 flopped tripps today ...
I lost all flips
well the usual stuff when downswinning
nevertheless i had a bit of fun , too
GL ALl
Funny side note
I think within the 2 years i played poker i was above EV only like 2-3 month 
rest of the time i pretty much always was way below EV ...
but i know this happens for others like Exhilrate and K204 , too
i feel a bit better 
some words for beginners

Just a few things i learned during my 2years of poker with all the ups and downs.
Most of u know me , but for those who dont.
I played poker for 2 years and had a lot of ups and downs.
I made my way from Nl10 up to NL200 but never managed to become a regular there.
I was a small winner at NL100 6max and a semi decent winner at NL100 HU
Some weeks ago i decided that i overall fail at poker since i lack some characteristics a good poker player must have.
1.) I cant play long sessions for 4-5days a week . I always had the problem that i dont enjoy sitting in front of a computer for more than 2-3hours.
That has been my problem with starcraft where i only got C-
and that has also been my problem with poker ... and i guess it will always be a problem in this kinda things.
I have never been a computer nerd and i will never be 
Playing computer games for longer than 3 hours bores me to death.
I am a very active athletic person and i love doing sports more than everything else in my Life. I just have a need inside my body to move and have action all day. Thats just the way i am.
Sitting in front of a computer for 6-9h a day playing poker without moving my body simply is not for me.
I get in a bad mood,feel bored and start to play bad/tilt after some time.
I played this game for 2 years yet i had only 2 month where i played more than 25K hands ...
Okay enough talk
here are some tipps.
1. BRM and Discipline are the most important skills in Poker
If u dont manage to keep a strict BRM in poker -> quit the game
There is now way u will ever succeed longterm being a degen gambler.
20BI for up to NL50 is the lowest amount of BR u shall ever have.
I suggest moving up to Nl50 at 25BI and moving down again when below 20,0 BI
Having a " up30/down25" BI BRM is also fine for NL10 NL20 Nl25 and Nl50
Nl100+
I really suggest u to have bigger BRM when reaching NL100
30BI is the lowest u should ever have imo ....
moving to Nl100 at 40BI/ moving down at 30BI is probably okay.
The reason for this is simple.
Allthough u still can make decent money at Nl100 the average skill level of a NL100 player increasd drastically. 90% of the regulars have a CR,DC or Leggo membership and only do small mistakes while having semi decent basic skills. Most tables only have 1-2 overagressive fish besides the regular: Low edge vs regulars + very agressive fish -> variance even at NL100 will be Huuughe.
2.)
It is extremly important to make the right longterm decisions even when u might lose a good amount of money shortterm.
Being 5-8 BI down over 10K hands Nl100 even though u play very good and are a decent winner is very common nowadays.
So if u have a small BR with only like 25Bi this will negativly effect your mood and your correct descision making !
Thats also what i have to say for all the guys who just recently started poker.
Always do the right descision without tinking about shortterm money.
In a 1K hand sample size your profits are ~90% luck and only 10%skill
In a 5K hand sample size your profits are ~ 80%luck 20%skill
In 10 K hands ~ 70 /30
In 20 K hands ~ 60/40
In 40K hands ~ 50/50
So if u read some decent strategy guides and play your tag agressive style at micros while focusing on correct descision making
-> dont even worry about your results in the first 10K hands.
In those short sample sizes the results are almost complete due to luck /bad luck !
The worst mistake would be to move up and play underrolled at higher limits just because u got a heater and made 15Bi the last 10K hands on Nl25.
The second worst mistake would be to stop making correct descisons and become a total NIT just because u are down 8 BI over the last 10K hands losing every flip.
3.) Tilt control
When u realize u are tilted -> insta shut down all poker applications !
If u only do 1-2 bad descisions while being tilted every session
u will lose 15-30 BI a month !!!
Being on 10 minute Tilt doesnt seem to be that big of a problem shortterm losing only 1-2 BI ....
But longterm it totally kills your winrate.
A player who never tilts saves ~ 150-200 BI /year compared to a player of exact equal skill who has regular tilt issues.
This is hughe !
