Apparently I was running way over EV through NL10 but it honestly didn't feel like it. I sucked out a few times pretty big but with all the coolers I took it didn't feel like I was running hot. I felt like I played the same game I've been playing since NL2 but with some small changes from what I've learned. Averaging $6.06 a...

Tomorrow's rakeback should put me at just about the 20BI I need for NL10. Only 1 losing session at NL5, but there were a few I had to save. Actually, quite a few sessions I ran bad to start but made it above water at the end. It was also nice to hit a great session just starting out. Hopefully I can finish NL10 by the beginning of February. I'm actually kind of to...

I obviously found out that my read was wrong when he 5bet me all-in. Now I was in a situation I...

Up just over 3 BI's in 1079 hands. If I keep up this pace I'll be done NL5 in about a week. I did make some terrible calls and I paid off big pocket pairs with small/medium pocket pairs way too many times. Also got check/minraised on 4 of my 7 biggest losing hands. I guess I need to give any aggression more credit, even if it's a minraise....

I'm going to be rich. I'm hoping to be done NL5 within the month and be on to NL10. If I start putting in a decent amount of hands it shouldn't be a problem. Race ya MadJukes? The hand that ...

The way I this week went I would basically go breakeven for a while and then I would get a rush of hands where I'd take a few stacks and then I'd just quit. It obviously feels nice to end a session up, but I think that if I want to get to real stakes any time soon I'm going to need to stop quitting when I get up a bit and just put in some more hour...

The idea of building a bankroll from nothing really appealed to me so that's what I attempted to do. I started off inspired by a post on LP about selling play chips for real money and decided I'd try to grind up some play chips while playing a few freerolls each day on Full Tilt. I figured that the rakeba... Sat, 12 Dec 2009 08:48:23 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=831604
