Hey all,

It's been a while since my last post due to more failed attempts at NL50, but this month things are looking good and I'm slowly making back all those losses from shots at NL50. Anyway I will post graphs at the end of the month.

Anyway tonight dryath, lachlan and LilDeano89 and I went to go play 2.50/5 at the Brisbane casino. It was pretty cool having a bunch of LP'ers go to casino together. I felt like biggest fish out of us all...Since everyone is a 1/2 player except me...But yeah it was cool how everyone ended up...How much everyone won I won't share...I don't know if they would want me to share but it was 50BB max BI so let your imagination run wild...However Lachlan did want me to post a picture of his winnings..so you guys can count that if you want to...



Highlight of tonight for me was me tilting this guy who seemed to me like a fairly competent player. In a frame of 30-40 mins these hands happened

Hand 1
I raised KJs utg, I got 3-4 callers. flop comes JJ2 rainbow...so I check, with everyone else checking behind. A turn, and I lead for 70% of the pot with trip Js and the nut flush draw and everyone folds and I show the Kh.

Hand 2 (vs him)
I get dealt KK utg I raise to 30 as there were 2 people who posted, and this guy 3B me on the button to $92.50 (hate weird betting amounts like that) so I min4B him expecting him to shove the rest of his stack in or flat and me shoving any flop without and Ace. At this time I think I had a stack of about $300 and he had $600. He makes a fold while showing one Q, so I decided to show him one K...Soon after he said he had QQ and I just said across the table that we were flipping if he had called.

Hand 3 (vs him)
I raise AK in SB over 3 limpers, he limp/calls in middle/late position and then flop comes all T74 rainbow and I check, he checks behind. Turn comes Q, I check and he bets $55 into a $80 pot and I minraise him to $110...he starts counting like $300-400 worth of chips putting it in front of him looking like he was going to put me all in (hollywood actor!) then folds...and I show him AK...

After this hand I was waiting for me to hit something evil so I could stack him...But then this guy absolutely nitted up and I was never in a pot with him again. But dryath was telling me how he was eying me off and how it looked like he was flaming and wanted to stack me real bad..

But yeah it was a bummer when he left and moved to lachlan and LilDeano's table and sat to the direct right of lachlan...hope lachlan or LiLDeano made some money off him..

Dryath had a few sick hands on the table too...I'll mention 2 of them I found interesting...well for you who know or play with dryath, it's pretty standard I guess as he is a aggro monkey...I specifically remember was his 83o in the BB. Whole table limps and he gets to see a flop...he leads on a 79J board, folds around to SB who calls him. T on the turn, SB check calls Dryath's turn bet. Then river comes a T and SB check raises the rest of his stack and says "send me home!"...Dryath calls...and he shows QT and Dryath shows him the straight...His response was good though "I didnt even see a straight there!" and rebuys more chips hahaha

Another hand I don't really remember but Dryath having J9o...and he double barrelled on a all low board...then river comes a J and he check/calls and I was just thinking that definitely gave everyone on the table that he was a fish...ahaha

But yeah I had an awesome night at Casino and just chilling listening to some 1/2 players talk about some poker at Hungry Jacks (Australian equivalent of Burger King i think) and surprising lachlan that I could win as one of his comments at Hungry's was "I can't believe you won" -_-;;

Apparently next time the 1/2 ballers want to play the one 50BB BI minimum table...and as much as I'd like to join them I probably won't...as a NL50 player I don't think sitting on a table full of 1/2 regs is a good idea...haha

Anyway I'm off
GoodLuck All!

Hi all,

For those who know about my condition I give up on this stupid win 30BI on each stake...had the sickest run on 5NL for over 30k hands...such a sick life...I was told by a few players that my ABC poker is strong enough and grinding out low limits like that was just wasting my own time, as I should be trying to build BR asap so I can move off micros. So since after my big tilt for a month, I'm going to focus building a roll for 50NL and then get some of my friends to teach me and hopefully be able to beat it like 5th time around -_-? Anyway thought I'd post my graph for that 30k hands that made me really depressed...and then my 10NL graph for the past 2 sessions I've played after I decided to quit this "win 30BI each stake" mission I set myself to.

5NL


10NL


Hopefully I can get back to 25NL by middle of this month, build a roll for 50NL and take stabs at it by beginning of next month!

Best of Luck!

Hey all, recently I posted about my crazy bad run and how I thought about quiting poker etc. because 50NL owned me on 3 attempts and then I started tilting my whole roll away on 25NL. I decided that I would play each microstake limit again. My goal is to make 30BI on each limit by end of december and hopefully have a fairly beefed up BR to try 50NL. I thought it'd be fun to post my results for each limit. I started 2 days ago grinding 2NL, hopefully can fly through 5NL and 10NL fairly quick too! Anyway I'll see all you microstake grinders at the tables =) try not to take my money and make my mission harder

Hey all LP'ers,

For those who don't know me, I started poker in April this year and worked my way up from 2NL with helps of the LP community. Like most LP'ers I was into starcraft and come from teamliquid.net. But yeah as battle.net started to die down, my mates all stopped SC and introduced me to poker. Like most new players I was told to grind my way through all the micro stake limits and so my poker journey begun. I spent about a month on 2NL, a month of 5NL and about 2 months on 10NL, playing about 70-100k hands on each limit. So by July I was owning 10NL. I soon took a shot at 25NL and I ran like Jesus and cracking $1k BR mark by August. In August and September I played about 50k hands all up and managed to lose most my BR on 25NL and moving back to 10NL. During October I did manage to make majority of my losses back and managed to take some shots at 50NL. However was unsuccessful on all 3 attempts. And in November so far, I have managed to lose most my BR on 25NL and shots at 50NL again.

I decided to start up a blog, because I am really starting to doubt I am even improving and questioning am I just wasting my life. I'm planning to start from 2NL again until I get a CR subscription and coaching by a friend who is fairly successful at 100NL. I will start posting my monthly results, since I started my uni break and will try play a shitload of hands. Once uni starts up again, I will definitely still play and try keep my post up. I would like to say thanks in advance to any comments/advice on hands I may post and have questions on.
