I'm pretty sure I already blogged that I became rolled for nl50 (30 buyins).
I took a shot at that, but didn't play much.

Graph for the month:



pretty disappointing with that big drop towards the end.
think i made around $750 in tourny winnings so not a bad month by any means.

anyway i promised i wouldn't let poker distract me from my work now that i'm back in university, and to help stick to that, i've withdrawn all but $50 of my bankroll!!

if i play now, it'll be very simple nl2 multitabling that requires minimum effort and more just for relaxation when i have spare time.

i plan to get back into it at xmas but until then, GL everyone

I just finished playing in a UK only 500man satellite that I qualified for to the London EPT Main Event. There was a $6000 added prize pool too and I came 2nd!!!

The guy who won it was SO bad. When we got down to 3handed. he min3bet me and i put him on a big pocket pair. I called with my ace rag and he shoved a flop of Axx. I put him on KK/QQ and indeed he turned QQ over. Obv Q comes to put me 3/3. That hand would have given me a 6 to 1 chiplead heads up

I build it back up and I get shorty all in K8 vs Q8. Q on river

Moron takes out 3rd guy and it gets to heads up with him having 6:1 chip lead. I get chip lead in about 5/6 hands with only 1 showdown. We then go back and forth for small pots and eventually get in all in my A9 vs his AT and he holds.

$750 for 2nd

Winner got $1000 + EPT package including hotel etc worth approx 12k apparently

Finally hit my 30buyin requirement to take a shot at NL50. I've got to admit my heart was actually pounding on my first big hand but I think I played pretty good overall

I 2-tabled for just over an hour and ran at 82.5BB/100 OBV SUSTAINABLE.

This is easy loololollo

Just had my first losing session in over a month. Tilting pretty badly - I'm not used to this shit.

I lost KK vs JT in a 3bet pot, all in on turn. he rivered 2 pair.
I lost JJ vs a 80/40 maniac's QQ all in pf.
I lost QQ vs J9 when he flopped trips and slowplayed them to death.
I lost AQ vs slowplayed set of 7s twice on Q high flops
I lost QJ vs AJ on a QJx flop
I lost A7 to 24 when he 2 paired the river after bluffing me on the turn.
I lost 99 to 44 all in on the flop. He turned and rivered a straight.
I lost AJ to K9 on a AAK flop. He turned and rivered a flush.
I lost JJ to 88 all in on flop. He turned and rivered a straight.

Oh well I'd be up without this shit. Instead a got an ugly motherfucking dip in my beautfiul graph

It must be so interesting reading yet more august results...

Anyway got in a few more hands after I thought I might not be playing anymore.

I have this poker player on my msn. He's really bad. He's not my friend or anything, just someone I got talking to at a table. He plays between .05/.1 and .5/1 blinds depending on how he feels.

He's just messaged me telling me to come play with him and that hes drunk. He's sat at a nl100 table... i play nl25 (on the verge of moving up).

So far I've kept very strict discipline with my bankroll management. Is this +ev to go play with him or not worth it?

I've stuck religiously to 4 tables max, and have made some pretty major adjustments to my game: Lowered cbet %; 3betting light in position; double barrelling against certain players; generally just really concentrating on making reads rather than ABC poker.

Also I've started making a list of regular donks, who I search for before a session. Is that really bad?? There's this one guy who I must have stacked about 6 times now.

Here's an example of a hand I just played against him. He loves to represent the flush, but would nearly always at least bet pot on this turn if he had hit. Easy river call

Anyway here's a graph of the month so far. I know I've played fuck all. I couldnt really play for about 7 of the 17 days, but even on the rest I'm generally only playing 1 or 2 hours a day, max.

I'm really pleased with how different it seems to last month, The adjustments I've made has really seemed to help and I do feel like I can confidently sit down and make money. I'm rolled for NL50 now, but I'm gona get 30 buyins before I have my first crack at it!

Anyway, I'm going back up north tomorrow to spend some time with my girlfriend. STILL no internet at our flat, so I could potentially not play anymore this month. We shall see.

Cheers
