Ok so a little update on my poker progress so far. After running through nl50 in 1.5 week I started nl100 with a 2.5k br. So far I've played 60k hands on 0.50/1.00. The result so far is up for 25 bi's. However I haven't ran that hot on nl100 as I did on nl50. Things were pretty bad for some days. I think at least 2 out of 4 weeks I've had some rough times with extremly sick coolers and suckouts one after another, this decreased my winrate by a lot. Last week I couldn't win a hand and dropped about 8 bi's in 5 days, however after that I had 2 decent days in which I won most of it back. I do have some questions about my graph tho, my winnings without showdown have dropped dramaticly, probably because of a bad run too but maybe running a little bad isn't the only problem. Could this be a postflop play problem? Here is my graph.

I hope I can reach a winrate of 30 buyin's a month. So far that seems very doable. I won a total of 5.3k so far so should have been able to play nl200. But I needed some money and cashed out about 2.3k. I hope I can reach nl200 at the end of the month. Before I do that I'll make a new blog entry for some advice.

I would also like to add some of my experiances on nl100 so far. I think most of the players in nl100 are pretty bad. Some of the regulars are ok but most of them are nits. After coming from nl50 at first I had a few problems dealing with the increased agression of the regulars, however they have a lot of leaks as well. Normally I 4table but I try 6 tabling these days some more. Because there really is no point in playing fancy on this stake, they will pay you off anyway. I bought a 26" tft so it's no problem to play 6 tables, however I do seem to nit a little up by playing 2 more tables, not to much tho.

I'm really really looking forward to nl200, after 60k hands I've had enough of nl100. And I hope I will be able to make 30 bi's a month in nl200. I've noticed that my motivation for poker increased by a lot when I reached 0.50/1.00, the money was more intresting and I've came by some more familiar names from LP. It's always good to chitchat a little with LP's on the tables and hear their point of view. Great community!

Only 6max. I don't really think it's an awesome result tho, because it should have been way more. I think I donked off a few bucks to much as well like this hand below. Altough I should be pleased with my goal of winning 30bi's a month.

You think you're doing mediocre cruising through 50NL and going on to destroy 100NL? Wow, lol.

How many tables do you play? And hours per day? Just curious
