Fighting the good fight. |

Grinding 25 NL is not something I thought I would be doing if you asked me a few months ago. I was a 2/5NL and 5/5NL regular at my local casino.(The Fallsview Casino, Niagara Falls.) I was living off of poker for months and banking money. Life was good and I had a bankroll floating from 12k-15k. Then I hit a bad run like you read about and went broke.
At first I did'nt know what to do. Money came so easily beforehand. I have a few friends that I could borrow from, but its my personal opinion that you don't play as well on someone else money and it just causes stress and problems that I don't need. So I sucked it up and got "real" work for a month and a half. Payed some bills/debts and deposited $400 on Full Tilt on the 4th of August to grind hard.
I tore through NL10 with 8.5BB/100 and in less than a week I was up to $650 and playing 25 NL. I currently have played 19,000 hands at 25NL and $909.57 in my account after a roller coaster 2k hand session in which I was down 7 buy-ins at one point. Ended the session up 1 buy in, and that felt damn good. It's a little degrating to be playing for a fraction of what I was playing before, but every time I feel that way I turn on the Rocky Soundtrack and it inspires me to smash donks all the way up to my former self.
At this rate I will be at NL50 at the beginning of September and looking upward. Playing full time and if I run well I think I can get to 200NL by the new year. So to all you kids who are grinding hard keep up the good fight.

Right there with you. Depositing again in like 2 weeks, and starting at NL$10.
With Elisha Cuthbert as your motivation, I don't see how you can go wrong. |
