SO about a week ago i moved up to 50NL. Since then i've been going up and down non-stop. Im still trying to get use to these stakes. I think im tilting again even tho i never tilted at 25NL. I think that its because having more money on the tables and being able to lose more money and faster. I just finished a session down 130. I took 2 bad beats and lose a coin flip and ended up down 150. Then i felt like i tilted by being super aggressive. I actually made back a bit and decided to call it quits at that point. I cant stand the variance at 50NL compared to 25NL. Oh well, tomorrows gonna be another day...

Finally a winning day at 50NL... 50NL is definitely different than 25NL. Ive seen sooo many people who cant fold TP/TK with AK and get stacked off. It happens to me as well but i'm working on it. I need some advice for this one hand. This was actually my last hand of the session so i kinda lost focus and just wanted to see my results.

So recently i've been taking my shots at 50NL both 6M and FR. So far the results having been going my way at all. Im pretty much at the point where i have to drop down and grind my way back at 25NL but as most of you know, its just too hard to move back down. Yesterday i was playing pretty badly and dropped a few buyins, mainly because i wasn't use to the amount of money on the tables, but today i felt like i played pretty well. I watched a few cardrunners video to get me into the poker mood and then started to multi FR. Bad beats left and right left me down a few BIs after a 2 hour session so i called it quits. I really dont know if i should be moving down right now. Im confident that i can beat 50NL but the chart says to move back down. Any suggestions???

So heres the deal, I've been playing poker as a hobby for a few years now and not really taking it serious. Playing without proper BR management, no discipline and not really trying to improve my game. Last month, for some reason i decided to fiiiinally follow some BR management. Im using the Stairway to HIGH STAKES method of BR management.



I gotta say this method is amazing, last month I turned $40 into over $1500. I can't believe how dumb i have been all those years playing recklessly outside my BR. The best thing about having a proper BR is that when you go on downswings, you can still stay on even keel, as opposed to me going insane before every time I get 2 outtered for half my BR.

Anyways, I've decided that from now on I'm gonna take poker more seriously and really try to improve my game. Ive been reading some of the blogs of the high stakes players on LP and got really motivated. Which means time to set some goals...

JUNE GOALS:

-Play at least 30K hands
-Cash out at least $500
-Build my BR up to 1500 again
