I have completely no idea what's going on at NL50. I think I've played solid poker most of the time, but I cannot win anything. Aces run into sets on heavy draw boards, sets never get paid off (I tried everything: donk betting, check-raising, raising, flatting, nothing seems to work - they never have anything or they fold overpairs all the freakin' time).
Today I had started with a nice session at NL25. +$130 over 1650 hands. Then I had won another 100 bucks at NL50. I took a break, came back and lost 140 at NL50.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh... Sets not getting paid off, that's the biggest beat. Or maybe is everything OK here and I'm just making some stupid assumptions? I have to say I don't do anything very fancy with pocket pairs.
I can play NL25 all the time, but that's not my dream, to be honest .
It's always like this. Almost always. I play decent poker and win some money, and eventually I make a super-hyper-ultra bad play. I don't know why. I know I should fold but I call just to look him up (and maybe win the pot if he's bluffing). I have played on Stars for a few days, and I have played pretty good. Lost a couple of buy-ins stupidly, didn't run too good, yet managed to be up 2ptBB/100 over 10k hands on NL50. The following hand is the peak of my stupidity (the guy was 40/20, but that doesn't justify anything).
Enjoy (and don't ask me why I did call him, I just did)!

Doing really well, playing a lot of hands. Hope to maintain the good run and grind my way up to NL100 in one month time.
I also got $350 of rakeback, so overall I'm very happy with Prima.
Best luck to all you guys playing there or on any other site,

... that I got temporarily banned from LiquidPoker, lol. I remember I was very sad and frustrated, and had completely no clue which of my posts was the main reason for this punishment.
Pokerwise everything is going OK. I'm up almost $700 on NL50 at Prima after 5 days of play. I've been playing a lot of hands lately, thus I'm going to get a pretty nice rakeback amount (nice for a week of play, that is). If everything goes as planned, I'll be rolled for NL100 after I get my rakeback at the beginning of December.
Wish me good luck.
