just a few...almost busto after all this shit, time to find a job i guess
had to cash out a bunch of my roll to buy christmas presents as i've been jobless since october but i've started playing a bit again. feels good to be back on the grind.
mostly 9/12tabling 5nl at stars...hoping to move up and get back to 25nl+. probably going to try to play like 60k hands for december.
back in june-ish i made a deposit of like $450 to leap right into 25nl. i know people here will probably give me shit for not just building my br with 10nl but at the time i felt that i wasn't respecting the game at 10nl so logically i had to play higher!
i took that ~450ish to about ~850 over the course of what i'd guess was like 15-20k hands and about 5 days. i felt i was playing very well and obviously running well on top of that. obviously this was a lot of money for me to be up in such a short amount of time since i was used to playing 10nl and just being a spewtard and not respecting the players, which probably made me worse than them from a theoretical point of view.
long story short i started to run bad and tilt and spewed all the way to ~$150. i moved back to 10nl when i was down to about 250 but it was the same old story...i had been crushing 25nl over a decent sample, so why should i be modest and change my view of 10nl? obviously i shouldn't; i should just continue to give away my money. obviously.
i took some time off, mostly because i didn't want to deposit again and i only had about 80 in my roll after a few more bad sessions at 10nl. i decided a few days ago i was going to give this online poker thing another shot, and do it right this time. no more being a retard regardless of whether or not i think the players around me are good or not (this has clearly always been my biggest achilles heel when it comes to poker). i'm not sure how many hands i've played since yesterday since my pt3 trial expired, but i've put about 7 hours into 12tabling 5nl and that $80 is now $190 and i'm going to take a 20bi shot at 10nl once i make it there. the job i currently have is seasonal and i've gone from 50 hours a week to about 16 and i'm going to lose the job completely in about 3 weeks so i'm hoping to be able to grind hard and make 25nl and then hopefully 50nl and play solid enough to support myself until i can find another job and pay my tuition blah blah blah.
TLDR; i made 16bi over 20k hands at 25nl then tilted it all off and now i'm rebuilding my roll at 5nl wish me luck LOL
99% of you guys probably opened this blog, skipped to this line, and said "wtf why u write so much lol." but if you read it, ty
GL at the tables LP! hopefully i see you 25nl and 50nl guys soon
Recently moved up to NL25 but wasn't able to put in a lot of volume because I work 50 hours a week, but I finally got PT3 running thanks to my new PC so I can actually post graphs now.
My main goal for July is to inch myself closer to taking shots at NL50 by just playing solid poker and keeping my tilt control in check.
A while back I posted that I was building a new PC for SC2 and poker...aside from a few minor pieces, I have everything ordered and am beyond psyched to get it running.
So yeah, I'm getting that together as quickly as I can. Obviously I need a DVD drive and a few other things, but it's getting pretty close.
Poker has been going pretty well for me. +~6 bi's playing NL200 at a charity thing by my house over the past couple weeks (roughly 3 sessions, they only have it in the area once a week and I couldn't play one time). Online my bankroll has been up and down, but I've been pretty good about going down in limits and grinding my way back when I'm on a downswing. Hopefully by June I can be playing NL25 full time, and I hope to get Goldstar status this month.
