down 2.5 bi's or so today. ran bad in a few big 200b pots, and made two bad calls -_-;;

however still think im playing alot better than when i was a month ago. I still need to improve a tonne but this new style ive incorporated at nl100 is quite fun. Only problem is alot of the regs have started adjusting to me by tightening up and not making moves on me anymore =(.

feeling pretty confident still. wont have much time to play this weekend cause of a big hockey tournament , hope i dont lose it

any nl100 regs on lp? :o pm meh

played like 60 11$ turbo sngs or something like that for 180$~ profit , meh, good change of pace to refresh my mind

played a little bit of PL50 for fun for a week as well - competition was INSANELY weak but i felt i was stagnating and not improving my play at all. Ran about 4 BI -EV at PL50, cant complain tho -_-;;



took my shot at NL100 about 6 days ago , doing alright i guess. I don't find any of the regs particularily hard except for a select few , but not sure if they're just running well vs me or not. I've made a few adjustments to my game the last 10k hands and ive grown alot more confident. Playing much more aggressive in select situations has been paying off. NL100 graph is missing about 5k hands where i made something like 2 BI.


Short Term: 6k BR without rakeback. w/d 3rd week of june's rakeback cheque for RL poker , gifts, etc.
Midterm: 1/2 reg by end of july , beg of aug.
Longterm: 10k BR after w/d'ing to pay back student loans. ONE TIME PLZ

Move up to 100nl [X]
>3.5K BR [x]
improve [x]


BR is a little less than 4K atm. ran decently well last half of may, and was able to grow my br from 2k to about double that.
still have a long way to go as far as learning this game goes, but i'm excited and hope i'll have a great june. I've noticed i did the bestno days where i got a shitload of exercise, and was able to "clear" my head before every sesh.

i don't find nl100 any harder than nl50, rather i find it easier in a way that everyone plays like a mindless CR drone. still a tonne of idiots.


Also, i'm kind of looking for a NL200+ FR coach who is a good winner over a large sample size. Let me know what your rates are. I prefer a coach who is more familiar playing fairly lagish~!

Y harro there LP

here's what's happened so far, as a total recap ever since i started taking grinding poker seriously this summer.

deposited 500 bones on FTP
played shitload of 11$ SNG turbos / nl50 FR to grind up to 1.5k , where i started downswonging / break even for about 60k hands

reviewed my play and realized altho i was running below expectation, there was still no excuse for some of my poor play and leaks. was able to find some of these leaks on my own, but still need help on the others one - however i just cant afford coaching right now, but i really hope i can find a coach who will do discounts or whatever.

this last week i've started running at expectation and as a result have grown my BR into a 2.5k roll, 50 BI's for 50nl. I've decided to hold off on taking a shot at 100nl (which ive said i would before), and take my shot when i have 3k.

Took one day off so far this month from grinding and that was to play live, ended up getting run over by a monkey with J6 vs my top two, with K4 vs my AK. spewed my last 40bb with A7ss in a straddled pot PF. got 5 callers and was sent home empty handed. Honestly just didn't have the patience last night to sit and grind. was very upset that i couldnt get into any situations with the two aggrotards to my right where i could stack them, meh

been feeling the grind since about a month ago when i decided i want to start taking poker seriously for summer as employment. not just for the money, but for the challenge. I'm not going to grab a shitty PT job for 3 months and quit it, and im not going to get any digital design work thsi summer either since every major design shop has had 3k+ resumes sent in.

To recap, i deposited 500,and i grinded it up to 2k by mid april. I went on vacation, and came back - and ever since then the last 3 weeks have been mental torture. Maybe it's the fact that i'm new to the whole serious grinding thing, but i've been in a proverbial "rut". Ive been bouncing between 1500$ - 2000$ for about 3 weeks, and my profits per day usually go like this

3 days in a row +50$ - +150~$ or so.
1 day after -250$

basically shit like that , it's super frustrating to have a string of "consistent" days, and then have it all blown away a day later. Re-checking HEM, i've noticed that alot of it was just running under expectation in ALL in pots, but i realized that was just 60-70% of my profits evaporating, the other 30% came in non all in pots where i can genuinely feel i am not playing optimally.

I've also noticed that when i lose, i ALWAYS lose 4+ BI's on those days. I have had maybe one losing day out of the 3 weeks where ive lost less than a buyin. i always lose at least 4 BI's - it's super creepy. I've noticed all those losing days also come when i haven't slept well that night or feel subconciously fatigued, but due to my "grinder" mentality i decide to play through it not making optimal decisions.

Basically i'm looking for any advice from FR grinders NL50 and up. Is stuff like this typical for you? This month i've played about 25k hand so far and I'm running about 8-9 BI's below expectation, which isn't getting me down mind you. I'm just wondering if maybe i'm approaching grinding hands the wrong way. what mindset do you guys use on nasty long breakeven stretches? how do you get over them? thanks tonnes anyone

So basically April started off great, wanted to play a shitload of hands and i did, i didnt' even have a full month to play. (I only had 3 out of the 4 weeks of this month to play.), i also found time to slam in 200 11$ turbo sngs as well over a few sessions.


April started off great as i said before, pulled off a few huge bluffs in a couple seshs vs the same regulars and was able to start getting paid on my monsters using the same lines as said bluffs, everything felt like it was clicking and i knew i was bound for 100nl soon, using a 22-24BI rule. I went to toronto for a fun vacation and to fuck around for 7 days, and came back refreshed and ready to crush 100nl. But in order to warm up, i thought i'd do a fun 50nl warm up session.







it was not to be


I ended up getting murdered for an entire week, set over set, losing 70 30's , 90 / 10's, etc etc. I would look at HEM3 and die inside at the +EV graph vs $$ gained graph. I was basically running horrendous and was on the verge of imploding when i looked back at some people's comments to just play through it and focus on DECISIONS, not results. It's easier to say you will follow it, but until you hit a brutal downswing it's a HUGE testament to one's determination / character / focus. I'm glad to say i survived through it. Looks like 100nl will have to wait another week or so, but i feel that i've recovered mentally, and it's only a matter of time before i get back up there.

Brag: played 50k hands + 200 sngs in 3 weeks , most ive ever played ever
Beat: Last 30k hands of said 50k were horrendous losing / break even, but towards the tail end i regained confidence in my ability to play. made +250$ or so in SNG's
Variance: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH RAKEBACK IM GETTING BUT IM HOPING ITS ALOT D:. I've found my sweet spot is 10 tabling FR. 14-16 was too much to make optimal value, and 8 is too boring.


May Goals-

Short term: 2.2k BR > take a shot at 100 nl , move down after losing 2 bi
Mid term: Become 100nl reg by end of may
Long term: 1/2 by end of june / start of july? one time!
