Finally Positive for October +++
lazymej, Oct 09 2008
The past 2 days have been pretty decent, +ve for both. So I'm finally up now after being down 9BI for the month. I'm rolled to take another shot at 100NL. Although I am usually aggressive when it comes to moving up I'm thinking that perhaps I should stick around at 50NL for a while longer and work on my game, because I really think my skill is lacking in certain areas of the game for 100NL.
Actually I am currently finding it a bit tough to improve my game so if anyone would like to assist me in any way that would really be great. :D :D
I have been thinking of moving to another site solely for rakeback. Although I love the Pokerstars environment/software I really think it would be EV+ to be getting rakeback... I wanted to move to FTP but that won't be possible as I already made an account there with the free $100 bonus from LP. So apparently that is out of the equation. I've been thinking iPoker since it has a decent player base, is established pretty well, and they have great deals. But the only problem is I absolutely loathe the software. I played on Titan before and it's the gayest shit ever. I saw other sites like Cake but unfortunately it's not compatible with HEM? Any suggestions?

God I want to throw my mouse at the wall. I just typed up this big chunk of text and I accidentally hit the button on my mouse which makes the browser go back.
Anyways, summary:
1. Took shots at 50NL, first 3 were horrible.
2. 20K+ hand breakeven swingy stretch which was so frustrating.
3. Finally started winning again, got rolled for 50NL again, took a fourth shot. Fourth shot very successful and have been only winning on 50NL since.
4. Roll reached 2K yesterday meaning I was rolled for 100NL. Took a shot where I ran bad and played even worse. -2.2 BI.
5. Either way, still $1K+ month which is pretty cool. This is only the beginning.
6. Can't help but realize that I could be shipping so much more if I fix my leaks and stop doing stupid shit from time to time. Don't really know how I should go about figuring this out but if anyone would like to offer some guidance I would be deeply grateful.
I know my 50NL BB/100 is not at all impressive but keep in mind it includes my previous shots at 50NL where I lost a large amount of money. Anyways it seems my stats kind of suck.. I find that when I play longer sessions my stats are good at the beginning-middle and are a solid ~22/18 however as the session goes on I find I start to tighten up and it falls to like 19/16. Also I think my W$WSF needs to be higher, as does my turn and river aggression. How can I get my aggression after the flop higher? What happens a lot of the time is my cbet will get called and I don't know where I'm at on the turn so I check behind a lot unless I have a strong read that he doesn't have shit. How do you guys do it? So ya, if anyone would like to help me sometime that would be awesome. PplusAD used to teach me a lot but I haven't seen him on lately and he's busy with MMA stuff.
So all in all, pretty interesting month and it's nice to be getting out of micros 
100NL, Take one

Took my first shot at 100NL, ran bad and I have to admit, played pretty fuckin bad as well. 31 minutes and -2.2 BI. Which means -$426/hr which is pretty sick. Gotta learn to calm the fuck down when I move up. Anyways, back to 50NL to get ready for shot number 2.
NL50, finally.

So as you saw in my previous blogpost, I finally had a winning NL50 session! Played a few more sessions with good results too. Last one was kind of iffy though.. card dead mostly and lots of suckouts so I ended up breaking even. As long as I'm not losing, it's all good. My stats actually ended up quite nitty because towards the end of all the sessions I just wasn't getting good hands anymore and found it hard to open much. Which is also why I ended up finishing those sessions. But for most of the session I found myself playing around 22/18 which is nice.
Anyway, feels good to be winning again and I trust it shall continue this way And I really need to stop making donk plays at all because it hurts my winrate. I could be up like $400 for the day which is absolutely sick obv but I donked some of it off. We live and learn.
Graphs, tables and stuff:
18.7 BB/100!!! (was 20+ before that last session):
Stats (7 hours = hardcore grinder?):

Lifetime graph..God it feels good to be on the climb again :D
Gl at the tables all
NL50 weeeeee

Finally a winning session on NL50!!! I'm so amped right now!!! I pretty much owned the tables today... played good.. ran good. Except for one notable hand which I played like a complete prat. Obviously knew I was beat but had that fish tendency to never fold aces. Actually thought he flopped trips rather than a FH. Doesn't matter I was way behind either way. I was deep too.
Here's the hand:

God I can be so newb sometimes. How is it that your emotional+curious+non-accepting side always overrides however strongly your logic is.
Anyways doesn't matter it was just a lemon decision. Anyways if that hand didn't happen I would be +200 in only ~2 hours!!! Which is like the most I've ever shipped obv :D
Session graph:
I've also recognized what tilts me the most. Those fuckers who chase flush draws like cock sucking zombies and then hit them obv. I can then give them appropriate notes such as:
I obviously love them when they miss though, which seems to be the minority of the time. Thanks Pokerstars (FU Pokerstars)
No more swings

Ya so things are going well again. Had a good Thursday - +$285. That's 11.4 BI on NL25. Pretty nice. Biggest winning day so far I think. Anyways, then the doomswitch was turned on as the clock struck 12. And ya I lost $85 of my profit. Sick. Oh well I guess 200 is still quite nice.
I've decided to carry on grinding NL25 for just a bit even though I'm past the 1K mark. I just want a nice cushion for when I take another shot at NL50 because I've had some bad experiences with it before ^^ and basically I want to not go below 1K if I lose a couple of BI. I like seeing my roll in 4 digits :D
gl everyone
Yes!!!
