Don't know if this is retarded, but I'd like to here some opinions.

How do you generally distinguish between the two? I've been playing NL50 for about 2 months, and I don't really play much poker, but have been running at about 5bb/100 hands. I feel like I've been playing well, without being spectacular. I've had the odd small downswing, but never more than about 5 buyins. I've also been running fairly well April making $700 at 10bb/100 over 7k hands. Obviously this is not sustainable, but Ive been contemplating a move to NL100, but I'm not sure if my game is up to it over the long run.

I guess I'd just like some insight as to how you know if you're crushing the game or not. From my perspective, I'm a fairly solid ABC style player, but there are definitely some areas I can improve on. I'm thinking I might give NL100 a go and see what happens.

Weird day. Started really badly with some horrible setups. Lost KK vs AA twice, QQ vs AA once and AKs vs AA (I run into AA quite a bit, wtf?!).

I was a bit disappointed with the QQ hand as I should have folded. His line was very obviously AA, but I wasn't good enough to fold.

Recovered pretty well though and had a good run this arvo to get into the black.

Start BR: $366
End BR: $404
Profit: $38

11 more days and $96 til NL50 or $404 till bust.

Didn't play much today. Only about 1.5 hours. Session was good overall, but 2 setups all bu evaporated any profit I had.

Setup 1: lost KK vs AA (BB vs Button)
Setup 2: Lost AK vs AA on AKx board (AA slowplayed pf T_T)

I'm going out on a limb and saying NL25 is easier than NL10. The players are bad at both, but they seem more aggro and willing to give up money. The weak just fold/call at NL10, whereas they always think I'm bluffing at NL25 and want to stick all their chips in with A high.

Start BR: $361
End BR: $366
Profit: $5

Mrs hasn't been playing, and is still oblivious for now.

12 more working days till summer holidays. Let's hope for some (poker) love!

Well it's nearing the end of the year at work and there's pretty much nothing to do since everybody is wrapping up for the summer holidays.

I have a bit of time to pass, so I though I'd try a poker experiment to kill time.

Small history about my pokering. I was never brilliant. Just a standard grinder/nit. I've cashed a little under 10k, but I stopped playing about a year ago because I just wasn't cut out to play poker.

Anyway, I've been inspired by Nelly's horrible BR management and decided to put variance to the test. I'm going to try either rise quickly or sink fast with 10 buy-in 5 table FR pokering. Standard/lame I know, but here's some added spice.

I got my GF interested in poker and recently gave her my account with $100 to play with. I showed her some basic strategy etc and left her on her way. Surprisingly she's grinded up to ~$250 over the last 3 months or so. You go girl!

But my boredom takes precedence and being a girl she didn't change the pass (standard) and I still have access to the account.

Will I go broke and incur the wrath or the angry micro-stakes grinding Mrs? Will this be a win for the degens of the world who live by the flip of a coin?

Does anybody actually care?

Stay tuned!
