I’m up more then 5k at NL100 this month and I’m closing in on 30k hands. I’m still making some stupid moves once in a while, but overall I think I play kinda solid with exception for some situations that I fuck up. Basicly I’m playing somewhat decent and I’m running decent and when you team those two things up with a really low skill level among the regulars on my site it’s a winning combination.
Anyway, I made 2 movies of me playing today too but they kinda sucked and nothing really intressting happened so I'll just try again and post a better one someday.
...now
today i played very well i think and the result say it too...+4 buy ins and iam 3$ behind to get green numbers at pt
yy and i donked at nl 2 again and naaa not that good lost whole 2$ with 74o vs TT wtf badddddbeatXDXDXDX
Today I had play-money type of game.
I was surrounded by super majikal donkies.... I dont know how to describe it, every hand I saw, invovling me or others, just the most fucked up shit.
We all know 50nl is full of bad players but after playing 4 months of 50nl I am still shocked.
I dont have many hands posted since i was 12 tabling, but belive you me, I had a blast.
the good: got 11.3k hands in 3 days
the bad: -875$
nasty suckouts... i cant believe so many 2 outers happen in such a short time. also i wish that my sets and overpairs would hold up against flushes sometimes. and i need Ace to flop when I have AK not when i have TT+... this is fuckin ridiculous
after running not that good like i wanted i decided to contact a german baller called inde...he coached me over an hour and he dont want the money ;P hes a very cool guy...
now iam confidend enough to win at this lvl
the best thing here is that i realized my leaks and i think i fixed them...to 50% xD
here the graph http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/3638/back0raz3.th.jpg
yes iam still down but tomorrow i will play a monster session by playing nl25 sh 8 tables (fast tables)
Okay - well the last few days I've been experimenting with 12-tabling and doing 4k+ hand sessions - I found out adding the extra tables really makes it easy to play long sessions. So I'm gonna try and do this for a while longer see where it goesss!'
So we will see if I can do a 10k hand session, I've only done it once before but that was 8 tabling. Gonna see if I can do one this weekend
after getting cold decked twice within 10 hands, my 6bb/100 session turned into a -0.5 or some stupid shit like that. So now I'm at 7.93/100 over 13.7k hands.
I'll probably update again at 20k hands or something like that. That or end of weekend, whenever I remember
According to rakebrain.com i've paid about 238$ in rake last 7 days
30% rake back = 72$ back
~1250 pts gave me 62$
and i unlocked 125$ from my bonus $$
in total thats 259$ ---> 109% rakeback !
without the bonus thats still close to 57%, not bad ! it goes up to 69% if you can manage to get 2000+ pts per week.. not that hard at all
havent updated my blog because i wasnt playing at all. 1st half of january was good but lost almost all my winnings in the 2nd half. then i noticed i would have a shitload of study soon and decided to stop poker completely.
so i cashed out everything from stars (planning to come back on UB) and spent all my FPPS. Got a nice LCD TV, 500$ in gift cards and some pokerstars clothing.
i came back to poker during the spring break and decided to deposit only 350$ (to get maximum bonus) thinking it wouldnt take that long to get to nl50 then nl100 with rakeback+bonus.... well after i had unlocked 100$ from the bonus my bankroll was at an outstanding 300$ :-/.
then things started to go better and im now well bankrolled for nl50. ill give you my results at the end of the month !
Today I was playing my first PLO real money session I've really liked it. I think when you play omaha, you have to think more than while playing hold'em. There's so many combinations and you have to be focused all the time.
I'm satisfied with the result. I'm up $160 after an hour or so of 3-tabling $50 PLO
I'm gonna improve my skill in omaha in the future. Now I have to play hold'em more and build my bankroll up.
So that's all. Of course good luck at tables
dobranoc
edit: omg I just realized I'm typing like some fag.. hmm.. I have to fix it
Sooooooo, I decided to move to UB - fast tables, HU tables and nice rakeback + deposit bonus = good for a fledgling bankroll, yeah?
I was actually just going to deposit a NL25 roll of my own money but several people advised against this (probably very wisely so!), so I decided to withdraw.
Now, since I'm about as patient as a dayfly, I obviously wanted the fastest way of cashout - which I guess would be something like cashing out into a creditcard.
Now we get to problem number 1: You can't withdraw into mastercard, and you can only withdraw into a VISA card if you've made a deposit with said card.
Yeah.
Stuck! So what do I do? I create a neteller account.
Yeah, with all the horror stories I've heard about neteller from people I was, to say the least, not very happy about having to do this..
However, it seemed to be working fine for europeans so what the hell, surely nothing bad will happen to me!?!?
I create the account, read through stuff, deposit my modest bankroll of 650$ into it (didn't play that much lately for various reasons).
30 minutes later I login to check on my precious monies (yeah, I know it will take up to 72 hours but I'm an optimist you see), when I'm greeted by this lovely message:
An error has been encountered
Your account has been closed.
Please call NETELLER Security at 00 800 7767 6343 and press 0 then option 2, or email admin@neteller.com.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
OOPS?
At this point I'm not sure if I should scream or curse so I decide to do both while smile/laughing in a crazyish sort of way - solid reaction imo.
So after woving to do stuff to stuff I decide to do the sensible thing - call their support!
There I'm informed that I have to submit a copy of a utility bill to get my account re-opened.. Wish they would have had some kind of note, SOMEWHERE, saying that you can't deposit without doing this!
Soooooooooooo, I sent it to the email I was given and yeah, got a reply back saying it has been recieved and is pending a review.. This was like 1.5 days ago, and since then I've basically been checking my inbox like a madman cause I'm, as said earlier, impatient as fuck.
I've also tried to cancel my UB account since I signed up via a non-LP.net rakeback site and yeah, now LP.net provides UB rakeback so we'll see how that goes ..
Basically I want to play poker - watching poker videos isn't a full-worthy substitute T_T
Yeah, I'm such an addict.
EDIT: For some reason it seems like I'm using the enter key way too much, maybe I should let it change lines by itself ><
After I heard from a few people that I should move to 25NL with $500 I played a few hundred hands of 6max 25NL this morning for kicks. I ended up +$25, but I can tell that I'm not comfortable with the amounts yet, so I'm gonna stick to 10NL until $750 or so I think.
That being said the people at my tables were jokes...
I called down 2 big bluffs with A high, both of which seemed to be obvious bluffs for some reason. The only big pot I lost was when I got it all in vs. a half-stack with AKs on an AdQd5h flop and got runner-runnered.
Here it is:

Basically, I'm happy with my progress right now, but I know that if I try to rush into 25NL a few horrible beats could end with my tilting away 1/2 my roll or something. So basically I'm just gonna follow the advice of my boy TheTrees , "Don't rush it, poker isn't going anywhere"
Well my first session of the day was pretty nasty, got sucked out on a bunch and dropped like 2.5 buy ins right off the bat...then I made a little back and kinda broke even for about an hour then went on a heater won 3 buy ins super quick and ended up a buy in for the session. I decided to stop and take a break. I came back a few hours later after eating and working out and went on a sick heater and won 4 buy ins in about 25-30 minutes. So im rolled for 100nl now... I'll probably just keep playing 50nl this weekend & play a few mtts and move up to 100nl on monday.
