I was running bad (breaking even) for a few sessions and decide to take a day off, watched the whole Death Note series (anime) 37 episodes (20m each) and it's definitely one of the best animes I've ever watched even if you don't like the genre i really recommend this one.
After that short break I made 2 really good sessions and now I'm rolled for NL25 with exactly 20BIs (500$) and it feels good to move up now, it was faster then i expected, this is my final (hopefully) graph in this limit.
I played much more MTTs then i thought in this period and I broke the bubble in 2 of them for 26$ and 43$ and i thought i was UP in MTTs but the PT data proved this to be wrong I'm down about 20 something and I don't know if I should keep playing them while grinding does anybody has some experience with grinding and playing MTTs every once in awhile ?
Anyway I also wanna ask people to take a look at my stats and see what they can tell me from that, I know this is not an exact science but maybe there is some major problem I'm unable to see.
Also regarding stats I would like to ask more experienced players about using stats to make the correct plays, for now the only thing i look for is VPIP and PFR, this is enough to differentiate donks from regulars but I think on NL25 there might be more than 2 tipes of players so any help regarding this is highly appreciated.
People in NL10 don't 3bet at all unelss they have a real hand so %3bet and %fold3bet it's really not an important stat, I'm expecting this to change in NL25 so that's why i wanna know more about interpreting stats.
Thanks for reading everything I really look forward to see other players impressions.
After my unsuccessful short attempt at playing 400nl/600nl I have decided to stop playing there so I dont lose it all lol. Back to 100nl/200nl to grind it all back now.
I'm at the airport now waiting to board a plane to Washington DC. Gonna spend a week there with family and then head out to Michigan to spend another week with family. My GF is coming with me. She came on the same trip last year so it's all pretty standard. I'm excited to have 2 weeks of hanging and chilling. Not sure how it will affect poker - I think I should still be able to play a lot. But there isn't much extra space where I'm going so I might have a hard time finding time to be alone and play. We'll see.
The last week has been a break even stretch. I think I could have won a decent amount if I'd avoided every single spew spot and made all the good folds that I should have. I've re-focused myself on avoiding spew while playing. I guess that's the good thing about this downswing. Now that I'm running bad it's so important to me to play perfectly while before playing well was good enough. I think downswings can often make you a much better player if you learn from them rather than tilting due to them. I'm gonna try and make this stretch into a learning experience.

today session, all nl25
sick beats + hiting zero flop + no set no flush no straight -- NOTHING during 4 hours ...
the absolute boredom, kind of disgusting actually...
complete waste of time (and money obv)
stupid game sometimes
however i really felt some urge to make a least a litte bit of money today
so i decided i will play like probably 30 minutes if my health allows it ans search for some big fish on Nl100 HU
And i found 1 really sick fish who is a big losing regular.
He grinds 60K hands a month but is also one of the biggest losers at Nl100
made for a nice 25 minutes of just raising blinds and collecting almost all of them.
Unfortunatelly i had to quit since i felt liek my head has 2000 degree ....
poker + fever = not good
however one of the easiest money i made in my life.
I started playing .5/1 LHE 6 Max around the last week of November. Being it that today is half way through december I thought I would do a review on how things are going so far.
Judging from my stats I am doing pretty well. You could say I am running pretty hott lately too. Im beating the game from 4BB/100 which is probably not sustainable. However I do think I could for sure beat this level for atleast 2 because some of the games are just so soft its crazy. I do have very good game selction as well so that could be the reason why right now it is so high too. It also looks like I might be cold calling preflop just a bit to much. Its pretty close though but there are for sure some spots sometimes where I jsut want to see the flop when I really shouldnt. I mean there suited right? lol. Easily fixable though
It took me a while there to get used to the swings of a new limit. I was really not to happy with the way things wre going when I went on my -100BB downer there. I did a lot of hand reviews during this time and it seemed like I was just running bad.. not playing bad. -100BB downers in LHE are pretty standard though. I suppose I should be thankful that it was only -100 instead of like 250.
If I didnt make so many withdrawls this month to pay some bills and stuff I would be on pace to move up to the next limit at the end of the month. Unfortunatly now I still need to make around $400 before I can have a very comfortable move to the next limit. I am fine grinding .5/1 for a while longer though.
The worst part is that at the end of the month I am probably going to have to make a huge withdrawl from my bankroll because I will be going to school and I will need some extra money to live off while I try and find a job. I was planning on withdrawing it all except for $250 which would give me 500BB to play .25/.50 but I really dont want to go back down to that game again lol. So Im going to try and make about $300 by then end of the month so I can leave $500 on instead and still be rolled for the game I am playing right now. We will see though...
All in all .5/1 is going really well right now and I hope I can keep owning it for the rest of the month so I can stay at this limit when I move away. Anyways Im gonna go look for some juicy tables and try and make 50BB today before I go out. Im heading up to my buddies place in St. Catherines tonight to get fucked right up and wheel some pusssssyyy. They are all finished exams today so hopefully the bars are just rammed. Wish me luck lol.

Lol you stupid NL10 player. Just because you've been running over a reg for 3 hours straight doesn't mean he is ever going to be playing back at you. I guess that's obvious since its been THREE FUCKING HOURS OF CRUSHING HIM that he finally 3bets you.
Oh well, at least you had some equity when you made your retard move.
Anyway,
Artanis sat at my tables to fuck around again lol. He ran really bad vs everyone, plus I sort of figured out what to do vs him in while he's in donkmode. lol
This session should end up in the positive atleast.. so that's good. Unless I get coolered some more ;D!
/Update
Had a one hour sessions where I picked up 2.5 BI real quick. That was good.. Too bad the other 4 hours I played today I had only made a grand total of $7 dollars. lawl
Been trying to focus on my game, creating reads and postflop actions. My showdown winnings are really weird today. 1st half of the day they were seriously abysmal and effecting my winrate(-3BI in 1k hands...), 2nd half of the day they are break even. The big drops in the middle are from when Artanis was fucking around though.. hm.
I've been playing really loose, I'm at ~24/22 for the day. It seems to be working out alright.

So I made a blog post earlier today about how bush dodged a shoe, and then I come home from a night out with my GF and some friends and find these 3 different replies from the same person to my last blog post:

First off, what does DIAF mean? Second off, time for a poll! http://www.liquidpoker.net/userpoll/draw.php?poll_id=745
Poll: wtf is this shit all about?
(Vote): seriously awesome level
(Vote): that time of the month for sawseech
(Vote): you stacked him and now he hates u
(Vote): i dunno gimme a drink now bitch
I do have a faint memory of a recent hand where I stacked him, so that might be the source of the posts. But I don't think it was today - I only remember getting killed by everyone today. So yeah, like the title says, I'm confused.
EDIT:
I think I found the hand! This was Saturday night before the bigger fight with the GF when I did a 1k hand session. Finally won a monster pot and figured I was probably up for the session and should quit asaply so I could FINALLY log a win after a week of losing / break even sessions, and it would be smart to talk to the GF. So I quit pretty soon after this hand. hahaha. Poor bastard.
