Mike's blog

See blog post below for reference.
I hit my goal of 40bi at NL25 so I played that for roughly 4 hours today. Got soulowned by a fish and overall ran quite bad/unknown spew somewhere, going to session review a bit later.

At least I know I crush nl10 and have that confidence back. I'm still confident in my nl25 game as I'm making good decisions, I'm just not getting the right results over a small sample size, as is expected quite often.

Honestly I only make these blog posts so I can keep checking my progress and just in case the WBCOOP decides to spring up. I never know when that is.

Anywho, back to NL10 for the next bit as I've hit my 5bi limit for 25, but I'll be back at it fairly soon. I'm being kept accountable for playing 8 hours a day or at least studying poker etc.

Oh and I won my props from below's post. Ship it.

I was having a discussion with one of my friends, and he told me that NL25 is like chasing your own tail. I had a +7 bi day or something so I laughed at him.
I just lost 8 bi in two days. And then I see it: the newspaper, right behind my laptop on the dinner table.

Moving down to NL10 and sticking with a 40bi rule. I don't want downswings to affect ~20% of my roll. So 40bi it is, and I've got a prop bet of $100 riding on it (which is 10bi at NL10, so steep enough for my sake).

School's over and I convinced my parents that it's too difficult to get a job for now, so hopefully I'll be breaking NL50 by the time September rolls around again.

I'll send first to anyone reputable. PM me or post or whatever. There's a couple people that can vouch for me, if you're not reputable and you want to xfer.
Thanks.
Mike

EDIT: Taken care of, thx.

Moving to FR. I have enough for 6m NL25 but I just feel confused all the time, so I'm moving to FR instead of moving to NL10 6m.
Overall..
*coolered a shitload
*and still managed +
*over 2k hands
*i feel more comfortable overall
*and less confused all the time

So I'll hopefully be here for a while and try 6m again when I have a roll that I am comfortable with.

PS: If you have time, could you take a look at my last blog? plz?
Thanks.

At least I know why.

Suggestions? I think I know what I need to fix, but I'd like some confirmation. (I still can't believe these numbers, I thought I was playing well from button)
Thanks!

No more late night sessions (4am here now).

I don't think I played all that bad, -5 bi session, I'm told it's standard, but I think I'm down over about 30k hands @ NL25. Granted, I've been fixing leaks along the way, but I'm not sure where I stand. I'm definitely running bad, or so all-in EV tells me, but my all-in ev is roughly even.

I didn't run bad in terms of getting it in good and getting sucked out, but I believe there were lots of unavoidable situations. Most of my losses today were in 3bet pots, and some plays were complete spew. I still feel like I'm a winner here, but maybe that's just me being naive.

To be fair, I think I started drastically improving my game at around 5k hands, and putting a lot more effort into the game.

The most misplayed street for the session today was turn. I'm not sure if I was being floated, but I found myself barreling a Qxx flop with AK and giving up after the flop cbet (oop). I'm not sure if this is good at all (in fact I'm quite sure it's bad), am I supposed to c/f here? Or c/rai turn? I'm just so confused in 3bet pots that I find myself hoping people fold to my 3bet when I'm oop. Fuck.

Another small thing about 3bet pots, what about something like QQ on Kxx? Am I bet/folding and then check/folding? I'm really not sure about 3bet pots, and those pots happen to be the worst pots to make mistakes in.

Help?
Thanks.

NL25 so far >_<

...and HEM tells me that I need to register. wtf?
March started off bad, and now I have homework to do. -3bi from losing one flip, and playing stacking off way too light. Taking down lots more small and medium sized pots than usual, though.
=/
Anyway, I play like a monkey. It's a note to myself.

NL25.


Big thanks to Mayzerg and Uptown. I'd have more thanks, but you can kind of see how much I play nowadays, and those two happen to be on a lot.

PS: Last 700 hands is ALLLLLL uptown lol

Hopefully I can play more in March.
