Well, in the longrun I'm finally back to even  .
Around hand 16500 (a little before my last blog), I tilted off a huge amount of my roll in one day taking a frustrated NL5 shot, and then it was downhill from there. Around hand 26000 I really decided that I would need to improve or quit, and even though I wasn't doing well at first, I think I've finally fixed some big leaks and am now a sure 100% winner at NL2 (lol...  ) and *probably* a pretty good NL5 player.
While I know that playing out of your BR is generally unadvised, I felt a little inspired by reading Ace on The River by Barry Greenstein to take an occasional shot at NL25 games.. I only played one table, focused and probably played only about 500 hands overall, but I did it both for learning experience and because it was a good game with one or two fishy players. NL25 players don't seem too much different than NL5 players, so I feel like the only thing holding me back is my bankroll. While it's not the safest BR managament, I think that it's ok to take the occasional shot at a limit above you if you are a favorite in the game and play smart.
My BR is now 125$.. which obviously isn't alot, but it was only 40 bucks earlier this month, so I've done a good job playing through and building up. With the Take2 bonus at the end of the month my roll will be at 175.. which will be getting close to a solid NL10 roll.
Gamewise, I feel like I've improved alot also, and that's always good right?
My lifetime EV graph makes me cry though
Anyways, this is my month...
Hopefully I can put in more volume and increase my win rate further.. really, there's some breakeven in the middle of that graph that I think I can do better than in the upcoming month.
Wish me luck. Really, without LP and the help I get from comments and learning from threads, I would be nowhere in poker. Not that I'm anywhere now, but you guys get the point  . I feel like I'm really starting to get better.
-Jack

What's the deal with so many LP people going straight from NL5 to NL25? There's an NL10... |

I don't plan on skipping it . I just thought NL25 was high enough to give me reward, but low enough so I could afford to lose a buyin to a badbeat or cooler.
I can't wait until NL10 :D |

Also man -- The Take 2 promo deposits as soon as you reach the milestones. So if you have already played 25 of the 30 days of the month then you already got the last $25 of your bonus. Just go to cashier. Click on promotion. And click on Take 2. Hopefully you signed up for it. |

Really? I'm pretty sure money isn't payed out until the end of the promotion; with the bonus FTPPs getting rewarded immediately.
Guess I'll double check that in a bit. I know I signed up for it so we'll see. Thanks though |
