Been crushing 100nl rush for the last couple days hardcore. I feel like the rush poker player pool is really weak compared to the normal tables, and since I can only 4-6 table normally i get a massive increase on my hands/hr. Seems good to me.
Havent put in this many hands in a single session in like 6 months to a year. Maybe never! I keep fighting the addiction, but I caved and dropped $50 to grind away at rush and just play ABC with a few moves mixed in to exploit the rush dynamic. Interestingly I had very little success with my resteals and bluff's. It seems like almost everyone is just nitting it up at rush and playing straight up. The only money is truly coming from the fish, and as you can see they were in full suckout mode.
I dont really consider this a downswing, as that is more reserved for coolers and misreads, plus the occasional missed draw. I havent hit a downswing yet, so coupled with the suckout fest 10 BI's may not survive. Probably need like 50 BI's to handle all the bad beats, but this is all I feel like allocating right now.
Well I have made a lot of changes in the mysite. I added an credit and gift system, so now people can change their activity points into credits, which in turn they van spend on virtual gifts. We have some funny gifts, but I am gonna have to delete a bunch of lame ones and design a whole lot of poker related gifts.check it out
Poker wise I haven’t played as much as had liked too, so I can’t really tell if the changes I made in my tactics really works. After my brake of 2 weeks I really did get more courage to adjust my standard bet-sizing to an higher amount. With that I also found myself stealing way more from the cut-off and button. And somehow I automatticly started maken more 2 barrels. I am still not sure how to think about that. I also changed my HUD and because of that I forgot to 3-bet against steals too often. I missed the steal and fold to resteal stat. I added this now, so I should start restealing more often again.
I started playing short sessions of 25NL and the last couple of sessions I moved to 50NL once I got some of my confidence back. I found myself having to fold a lot to raises. Maybe it is just coincidence or maybe people pickup I am 2 barreling often. I don’t really know, I am gonna wait and see what will happen.
For the next couple of days I am going to try to spend more time on poker so that I can write a more indebt blog about the changes of my tactics and the results from that.

Ambient Music #7 + Depressing Rantby SugoGosu, May 28
So here I am, laying in a bed at the hotel in the Turning Stone Casino. I'm up $1,000 at NL200 the past 4 days here (leaving Saturday). I won a $350 raffle drawing for some tournament they're having in August which I'll prob. go to and bust early cause I suck.
But I feel depressed. I was sitting outside by the fountains for anyone who's been here, and just wondering why I feel like shit.
I mean, I'm up $1,000 in 4 days which compared to my previous state is really good. I am moving out of home soon, I have a lot of amazing friends who are going so many places, but I am still unhappy. I feel as if I haven't done anything worth while with my life, and I don't feel as if I ever will. Maybe I should talk to a psychologist.
So a friend of mine posted a band on my facebook page which really brightened my mood for the time being. I have to admit I have strayed away from post rock / ambient music almost entirely the past few months and I have been sucked into Alternative Rock for whatever reason. But this song he posted (first in the list) really made me realize why I love this type of music.
I need someone to design a small image for my online company "Any Two Productions"
Doesn't matter what it looks like, just make sure it has Any Two Productions under or over or across some sort of picture or design or something cool, it really doesn't matter. Just anything that looks sweet & legit.
I'll give the best image $10 on FTP.
It doesn't have to be very big, just big enough to see as like a thumbnail image.
P.S. - If you haven't seen the video yet, CHECK IT OUT!
So over 2 days, after moving up from NL10 to NL25 after I had accrued a $560 roll, I have lost over 12 buyins at NL25 and am sitting on $250. I have no idea of what to make of this. I definitely had a pretty unlucky run, but can it be all bad luck? Is it most likely poor play mixed with terrible luck?
My question to LP: Do I continue attempting NL25 only having 10 BI's left, or do I drop down once again and grind up until I reach enough buyins to take another shot?
Man this sucks. As far as my poker game goes, I literally feel like a deflated basketball
TLDR version: Got smoked at NL25, crazy unlucky but can't rule out bad play, do I drop back down and grind back up again?
