First of all I want to thank everyone who offered and who has helped me out since my thread asking for coaching.

I have a couple of players who have railed me and given me great advice on hands as well!

A certain someone encouraged me to give a shot @ cash HU, which is something I've always been interested in. I think I can handle the play here.. especially with the conitnuing advice.

I finished my first HU session down 4 BI's, I was playing in prettyyyyy bad conditions (up all night, and this one guy tilted me sooo hard -3BI to him). This second session was a success with Python railing me for the first 3rd of it, and my going solo for the next 2 hours. EV of $288, but I ended up taking home $122.

I'm also going to play NL25 still, I suppose I will alternate depending on how I'm feeling..

I'm stuck $575 over my "poker career", but I hope not for long..

Good luck to everyone-- I hope mine continues!

Well I halved my roll again. Half bullshit situations, half me playing badly. I guess I will take a couple of days off and grind up another 20 fucking buyins at nl10 or something. Fuck man.

So, I am up $100 in EV at NL10 and down $100 in EV at NL25. I am at 12bb/100 at NL10 and -13bb/100 at NL25 haha.

I keep taking shots at NL25 with too few buyins, and I think it is messing me up quite a bit. Tilting after (very)minor crap which doesn't phase me at NL10 where I have plenty of buyins. I shouldn't of been at NL25 before hand ~8000, but I am confident I can cut it there once I have a proper, nontilt-inducing roll.

Sooooooo I am going to try and just grind up to 30++ buyins for NL25 before I go back.

Look at my silly grafz:
NL10-Looking pretty good I think. Obviously I'm running a bit above EV here


NL25-Terrible, and I shouldn't of been here before hand ~8k. Need to stop insta-tardo-tilting like an asshole.


I find NL10 pretty boring and I am usually 4-6 tabling it. I seem to do fine when I 9 table as well.. so I think I'll be doing that while I grind up my roll. I'll be donking around in the daily 40k to mix it up.. (woo I cashed for $70 there the other day.)

Hope I can muster the discipline & patience to do this properly.

Well, I've played about 15k hands on my way back up so far. I plugged my "patience" leak and it seems to be helping. I'm also running pretty well being 4 buyins above expectation. Trying to pay attention and make sure I'm not playing in some bad spots and getting lucky.

@ -134 from my -334 low. Hopefully I'll be back on top asap!

I am beginning to feel cursed when it comes to poker. Just straight up cursed.

I get it in ahead AQ vs A5? A five on the flop.

I get it in marginally QJ vs TT? J on the flop, T on the turn.

I look to get some value out of my middle pair? He is floating to the river with QT and hits top pair.

I valuetown a guy's QQ with my two pair? Of course he turned the set and just calls me down through the river.

ALL IN THE SAME HU TURBO MATCH LOL! Standard match for me.

So I tilted off another 3 buyins at 10NL after getting called all-in PF by a huge donkey with 95o vs my QQ, getting busted, and some other suckout I can't remember.

I don't know. Shit needs to start going my way but I am not going to have a bankroll anymore at this rate.

Very disappointed.

I just dropped 10BI at NL25 in 2800 hands. Here's my super neat train wreck graph, and my stats. Anything popping out wrong about either? Input is cool.

I'm going to go play NL10 for the next 5k hands or something and see if I can even succeed there.

I've been really swingy at NL25 so far and right now I am on a big ole 6BI downswing. I could really use a sweat here at NL25. I am currently below my last deposit so I cannot pay via Pokerstars. I'd really like a cheap or free sweat.. will ship upto $10 on paypal for an hour.

Thanks folks!

I am failing at nl10 like no one's business & I don't seem to be improving very much. Can any 25nl+ winners sweat me for like an hour? I'll throw like 10 bucks your way.

Msg me on AIM: Night2o1 or add me on MSN: nightreaper2o1@hotmail.com

Thanks guys.

I haven't been able to play as much poker as I'd like, so my improvement has been almost none over the past couple weeks. Which is pretty upsetting.. Though I have been working on crushing a couple of leaks I've identified. I'm trying to study as much as a can as well (ie: fees book he posted here--thanks fees).

My favorite leak-- I can't stop laughing at how bad this is. I must of been tilting my balls off.. problem is I know I've done this more than once. Basically, fold preflop or maybe flat, ya? Embarassment inc.

I am thinking about making a good-sized deposit($200?) and playing at 10nl. 5nl just pisses me off? Thoughts?


Here's a hand where every card that came out made me want to throw up.
