I'm going to be lurking for that $100 like my life depends on it! lololol

naw just be a $3r pro. gl

didnt u have 15k bankroll yesterday? :O

oh, didnt see the stake part nvm

u are poker's great white hope! best of luck 2 ya

So I'm just going to point this out, but I think this is the second time you changed up your approach. First I believe you said 20bi at each limit; you said you worked out a leak and were confident at NL100. I believe you.

Second I believe you said HU two limits below, but now it's one limit below.

While I totally believe that you are very +EV at every limit you are currently playing, and I sincerely do believe that you have changed, I'm sure you understand pushing the first few dominoes might knock the whole thing down. Even if you know you've completely left your old degen ways, don't forget your track record!

That being said, you're doing awesome and I'll be at the rail if anyone makes a thread. GL!

Nice :D

i appreciate your advice edzwoo, but i must also point out that playing nl50 hu with 118 bi is very safe


My approach changes a lot, but mostly after talks with good friends/players

This realization to allow myself to play NL50 HU came after a long talk with my roomate and fellow LP'er GSR_01_INTEG, and I will not play HU vs any players at my own limit. This may change if I make it to NL400-NL1k and find weak players sitting HU, but for the time being (until I hit nl400 which could take 2 months to many years) then I will be playing 1 limit below with HU (nl100 6m - nl50 hu / nl200 6m = nl50 and nl100 hu / nl400 - nl50 hu - nl400 hu if I can beat the games)

I'm also going to be playing around 80% 6max and 20% MTT and HU, its not like im switching to HU purely hehe

if cloning is possible, i would have you cloned and have a neilly army just grinding all sites and all types of games lol

all is can say is that you love poker too much buddy, best of luck always

"If you ever see me play HU at NL100 while I'm still on a NL100 bankroll (under 12k), then I will send you $100."

how you achieve this being busto already ;]

gl

being extremely profitable at HU and having bankroll management issues is an oxymoron

let me rephrase nolan, i am extremely profitable at hu, but when i was a hu player, i didn't understand br management and always moved up on 2-20 bi. now that im going to play it within my roll 100%, the profitability should/will shine through



mysticjoey - your not too funny, i see your little pun because i busted in the past, but what I said is obviously from here on out, w/ bankroll management. I'm very very very very confident bust is nowhere near my future. Maybe ROBUSTO though :-)

Neilly, you have obsurd potential - if you stay discplined and focused there's no point of saying good luck, because luck wont matter

I am totally in the edzwoo boat.

U did great in the past weeks and while i also believe that u are very +EV no matter 6max FR or HU Nl50 and Nl100,
there allready shines this little degen through your posts again.

Ure rules were teh following
1.) U will win 20BI at every limit to make sure u beat it before u move up
2.) U will only play little tournaments within your BR
3.) U will not play HU unless u are a regular at 2 levels above


1.) Ure breakeven at NL50 for 30K hands ? fuck this u won some tourney and move up to NL100
2.) fuck this u invest 2,5K while having a 10K roll in sunday tournaments .... ( And that is definitely degen ! lucky u boxed the 3r again <3)
3.) Now u play HU Nl50 even though u are not a proven Nl200 winner yet ( I know you can beat Nl200 ... but what counts is only teh results and not the theory)

So what is next ?

U have 29BI for NL200 FR and u have a 25K hand sample size of 1 year ago where u beat it decently .... maybe u should try ?
Well lol u have close to 15 BI for Nl400 even ... 1 lucky session and u can almost double your roll ?

be carful Neilly
your old habits are not dead .
Its just that u can control them atm .... As soon as u leave them room ure back in the old shit again

GL, sir. Glad things are going well.

PPlus, I moved up from nl50 to nl100 because I knew 100% I was ready, and I had bounced back around 10 be from the 0 bi downswing I had (where I learned a ton of my leaks with the help of lostaccount and pokertracker3) and i won some tournaments before putting the time in to get +20bi on it, and tbh i really didn't care about nl50 at all, its nothing compared to NL100 (which has been my goal for months). I don't consider that breaking a rule, I consider that common sense.

I'm playing NL100 6max the vast majority of my games, but I really enjoy hu and mtt's too, so I will make this the rule. I need atleast 101+ bi for any HU or MTT game unless im staked for it, thanks for helping me fix this before it could have gotten out of hand.

I see the hypothetical statement you posted, and understand it, but I will not play outside my roll 1 time. I HAVE learned bankroll management, and I EXCELL in it. I have NOT played outside my roll at all in a long long time, and never intend too.

I had talks with some very good players before coming to these decisions, its not like I just said OK FUCK IT IM GONNA PLAY SOME HEAD UP NOW, because if you believe that, you are sadly mistaken.

I'm extremely happy to be a nl100 player, i believe im good enough an am considered a reg although my sample is still small, and mtts and hu is only to be played on the side, less than 30% of my play.

oh, i played the 2.5k in mtt's, but my staker was also kinda forcing me to play the $500 tournament, and i talked with a great player the night b4 and he told me i should be using my weekly cashgame winnings to hit one big on the weekends with my mtt talent, which is why i invested so much. I wanted to get off the stake asap, and if i lost, i still would have had around 8k (a very healthy nL100 roll) to continue on my mission to 15k

Now my mission is $147,000+ by dec 31st, as originally stated

I've also updated the guide in my blog and on my desktop

Thanks for pointing out any misdirection, I will continue with my plan, but now its revised with your help guys, NL100 player and MTT/HU player as long as I have 100+ bi, and ill play staked tournaments (my past staker is going to give me around 1k every sunday at 50/50 for the sundays with makeup obv)

have fun dude
do whatever u think is best for u and gl in that

good players told you to play $2500 in mtts in a day when your br is 10k

rofl i dunno what players are staking you/giving you advice but that's just whack

neilly teach me some ballzypoker

thanks for your support guys, I've learned over the last 15 months that easy come easy go, which was the biggest lesson I could have ever learned in my life. It took me so long to realize this, and believe me when I say this with 100% certainty, I will play my hardest and my best and work hard for every penny, and stay within my roll for the rest of my LIFE. I will follow my roll up or down, all the way til i make it to the top.

Also, I'm so happy with the amount I'm making / can be making at nl100 and mtt/hu.

"Bankroll = Life" - DooMeRFD

Got up to $5947 and paid back another $220 in debts, won $367 and paid $220 in debts sounds about right, now i only have debts with 3 people, who are all close friends, I'll get them paid back asap as well.

GL LP,

GJ, keep it up yo
and thx for paying me back

Back in the days where you would write about degening your roll 10 times a week I would stay out of your blog because there was just no point in saying anything negative or repeating anyone else. Clearly you have an edge at these smaller stakes so...

I've noticed that you've got both red and blue lines above 0. as a microstakes player, what advice would you give to someone who is sometimes guilty of going on crap tilt? My red line is up but showdown is dragging the profits down because of some ill timed bluffs. a PM or post would do nicely, thanks in advance

If your tilting like that, then thats ur problem and u should just go down and play nl5 or nl25 or something (a few limits below) and get ur mind back together (a few good hands will usually do the trick)

Also, download an alarm onto your computer, and play 60-120 minute sessions and analyze your play after ur session, take a break, then come back and load up another session if your up for more.

GL, hope you fix your leaks and become your best,
Ryan

glad you listened to me about the 100 BI for MTT =) and I told ya that you'd win some tournies and cruise soon. bravo. good job on keeping a big BR. It's pretty clear that as long as you follow the BR rules and get offline before tilting that you're gonna do really well. congratz
