Micro Love

I finished off NL2 right at the start, steamed thru NL5 and started NL10 slowly with some bad beats for stacks which really slowed my winrate.

Didn't play nearly as much as I could have due to work commitments but I'm fairly pleased with the results:



I'm expecting to get very few hands in over the course of May due to all my coursework deadlines coming within the next 2-3 weeks so I doubt I'll be at NL25 by the end of the month, but it's a target!

It's a month today since I deposited $50 on stars. I've only played 3 of those 4 possible weeks having withdrawn all my cash for a week after a bad run.

Anyway, here's my graph:



I'm pretty pleased overall

NL 10 sooooooooooon

The craving to play didn't take long to come back. I've redeposited the money I withdrew a couple of weeks ago.

Had a nice session this afternoon. Played 6 tables and was 4 buyins up when I decided to come off. Had a guy sat to my right for the entire session on one table who was a moron. His vpip was 59% and pfr was 3.3%. I saw him check behind hit gutshots on the river... twice. However, his BB/100 was +380! I decided to stay on this 1 table just in case I could get involved in a big pot with him. He was sitting there with 800BB and I had 400BB.

Then this happened:

So i thought i'd get in a few hands before bed as I probably wont get a chance to play much from tomorrow - easter holiday over, back to lectures and I should be getting on with work.

Anyway, to be fair I havn't been running badly since I started 2 weeks ago - only the odd hand where I get rivered, but this session was just a joke:

I ran into
QQ vs KK
KK vs AA twice
89 beat my AA
in the space of about 10 minutes!

I havn't had that feeling of anger since starting up again, until now.

Anyway I've withdrawn everything! $70 profit and something to fill these last couple of weeks!

See you guys in a few months when I get the next craving

Hello! After a 7 month break i've decided to start playing again!

I stopped last time after getting nowhere on FT. withdrew the $600 i deposited having only cleared 1/4 of the bonus and withdrew myself from the poker scene.

The last few weeks though I've had the odd craving to play again - so a couple days ago i deposited $50 on pstars (first time deposit) and am having fun grinding NL2

It's good to be back

So I've been playing poker for a long time now. It all started when I played at Bugsy's club. I would race home from school to enter the free 800 player tournaments and sit there for 4 hours to win $0.32. After getting bored of winning so much money, I stopped playing for around a year until I started university.

I met another LP regular, rANDY on my corridor and we became fast friends. I started my bankroll with the free $50 from party poker. At this point I still hadn't discovered LP and continued to play thinking I knew it all, and slowly grinded that 50 up to 150.

Enticed by UB's first deposit bonus / rakeback, I put my party poker money on there and slowly tripled that up to around $300. At this point I joined LP and started to realise just how shit i am at poker. I took full advantage of all the ipoker free sign up bonus offers and earnt nearly $400 playing on them.

Last month I decided to cash out everything and stick $600 on full tilt. I havn't played many hands last month but I'm expecting around $60 rakeback, playing a mixture of nl25 and nl10 when I've felt less confident after a string of bad beats.

Anyway if you've made it this far, congratulations.

I wana thank everyone whos taken their time to give advice on any hands I've posted and I'll update this blog every so often to let you know how I'm getting on!
