quick update
Chase, Apr 14 2007
Did a 1200 hand session today. I loosened up a little pf and attacked the limpers a bit more, it worked well. Took a few beats but ended up +2 buyins.
Im going to try and keep my vpip around 24. 50nl on stars has a butt load of regs and they are all pretty nitty. I need to make sure I dont become like them lol 
Cops is on though now. Peace everyone.
See?

I dont always run good
Too lazy to post hands, and I have my psych final tommorow to study for. Just wanted to keep the blog honest 
1st 50nl session
Chase, Apr 11 2007
After kinda taking yesterday off, I popped my 50nl cherry this morning 
Three tabling, heres how it went:
Fairly standard session. Its pretty much like 25nl, except theres not so much crazy irrational play, which is good i guess. I ran into a few regs from 25nl too, it was nice to start with notes right off the bat.
Anyways, here are my two big winners:
KK vs 99
Flopped set, ship ship
and my biggest loser:
99 OESFD
this hand just looked too pretty to check/call. I thought about just front betting this pot instead... i still dunno what the best line might be. The villain seemed to be an ABC TAG. Thoughts?
Got PT finally

Heres 25nl this month. As you can see i really need to play more hands.
Also, this is what smoking does to you kids:
Notice 1$ from floofy? drawing contest, ship ship
Anyways, i played a 11$ 180 on a whim yesterday and ended up taking second for $360. Point is I have enough cash in my wallet to not have to cash out for a couple weeks, and I have 20 buy ins for 50nl.
So gl me, will post progress soon.
Big session, little progress

I havnt been playing much these past few days, just cashing out like an idiot and slowly bleeding my roll. Anyways: Today i four tabled a 1k hand session, which is like 3x the amount of hands i normally play in a session. It went well, i played grreat, but ran pretty badly and finished off the session only +1 buy.  Still waiting for paypal to get my transfer so i can buy PT, but here was my basic stats:
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 993 hands and saw flop:
- a total of 177 out of 993 (17%)
Pots won at showdown - 21 of 41 (51%)
Pots won without showdown - 146
kinda card dead, i usually run @ around 21%vpip
anyways,
a couple hands:
JJ, checked turn, tough river call.
i dunno if this was a spew or not... villain was a donkey, also pretty hard to get away after checking the turn Just thinking too quickly i guess. my bad.
TT vs a TAG
This was the prolly the hand i played the worst today. Comments on this would be appreciated, i might post it in hand discussion if i dont get much response here. anyways, Villain was a nit with a rly low pfr (why i didnt 3bet pf), i some how got it in my head that he had QQ or AK. thats why i didnt pop the flop. Then on the turn obv he had the K so i just tried to boat up without doing the math. Maybe its not so horrible after considering implied odds. Sure hes a reg but i rly dont think hes folding the str8 if the board pairs. But yeah, basically another brain fart. I need to work on putting 100% effort into every decision.
I didnt really have any big winners in this session, just tonnes of small/med sized pots. All super standard, no use posting.
blah, anyways, on to the cooler of the session:
QQ gets pwnd
obv such a small sample size means nothing, but i think im going to stick to playing just 2 tables, my winrate seems to be a million times better when im just focusing hard and getting strong reads rather than just auto-piloting a bunch of tables.
GG
the str8 poop

Hi ho, whats up yo? I had a little mini blog on my old "chase fedina" account and ive been putting off getting it started again. But yesterday Oxy inspired me with his "motivate me" thread and made me realize what a complacent fuck I am, and if i would only put some time into poker i would be bankin.
So here it is boys, ive decided to make my bankroll and my progress public in hopes giving me a little extra motivation. Anyways, getting down to the meat of it, ill tell my short little story of whats happened since i abandoned the old blog:
I went bust-ooooo. I dinked around with the tiniest sngs in the world for a while until i had only $3.50 in my account. Then i remembered, "oh wait poker isnt supposed to be easy, i actually have to put effort into this!" So i took a couple of days off and resolved to stay away from sngs for good and grind my way up through the 6max tables like normal people. It took me about two days to move through 2nl, and with 25$ in my account i moved up to 5nl, thats .02/.05. again, i spent about 2 or 3 days here, and then moved on to 10nl when i had 80$. Now 10nl is maybe the easiest stake in the world. I dont know how some lpers can still be stuck in micro. Anyways, i spent a little bit extra time @ 10nl because I didnt want to take on 25nl with less than 10 buy ins like i did for the lower limits. So after a bit less than a week @ 10nl my roll was up to 250$ and I dove into 25nl. I enjoyed such a sick winrate there for about a week, and was pretty much ready for 50nl. Unfortunately, i had a bunch of expenses i had to take care of, so i had to pull around 300$ out of my roll, plus 80$ for PT and Ahud. That dropped my roll down to around 600$, this was last friday by the way. Anyways, getting closer to the present, I didnt play alot this weekend, but still managed to grind out about 300$ at 25nl and 21$ HU sngs. To summarize all this, i made about 1500$ this month, and thats including all the time spent at 2 5 and 10nl. Obviously im pretty happy about that and am looking forward to getting PT so i can graph all this for u guys.
But yeah, i plan to make a post recapping every session. Now, i actually dont have PT yet.... yeah.... shut up....
but im just waiting for my paypal account to get my deposit, so i should have it by friday for sure.
Anyways,
Bankroll: $842
Stake: 25nl
See you all after my session.
