Ok, first things first - some of you may know me as frozenarbiter back on Teamliquid, and yeah, just wanted to mention that.
2nd, why am I writing this? Cause I've had a horrible bad run and I'm finally out of it (I think) and I feel fucking fantastic :D!
Anyway, I started playing poker with the help of GroT, back in late november 2006, really enjoyed it and by the end of december I was a silverstar and rolled for NL25 (yeah, I 12tabled sickening amounts, while watching the simpsons/futurama).
NL25 full ring.. was unkind to me. For whatever reason, my fearless raising of pocketpairs and constant cbetting (yeah, a bit unusual for full ring NL10 I guess) wasn't working at all here (probably also had a lot to do with the money being a lot more to me and therefore leading to me playing less confidently), lost like 200$+ in 2 days (but hey, I made silverstar once more for january).
Np tho, I was on a sickening heater at this time - I had beaten NL10 for 100$++/day for a few days before moving to NL25, and after my downswing (if you can call it that) I proceeded to make back 20 buyins in 2 days (yeah..).
NL25 full ring still sucked so I decided to move to 6max which worked out pretty damn well, and by the end of the month I took my first stab at NL50 (with only 20 buyins tho, I had lost several times when I had close to 25 and was getting frustrated.. silly me).
SOOoooo, I move up with 1000$, game feels the same.. then 5 bad beats later, I move back down to NL25. Np, I'll just rebuild, right? Yeah.. Unfortunately I don't think I ever reached 800$ again, I lost several buyin pots everytime I reached 790.
I was probably tilting quite a bit and playing waaaaaaay too much, but at the end of 3-4~ days, once the dust settled, I had around 430$ left and decided that enough was enough - NL10 let's go.
I proceeded to drop 10 buyins - instantly.
OK, at this point I was slightly confused. I can't beat NL10? Wtf? Yeah. This was like early february..
I spend 1 month never winning more than 5 buyins at once, often dropping more.. Win rate of like 2bb/100 .. yeah, ughhhhhhhh.
Today I finally realized why.
After losing 3+ buyins to some huge donkeys after I'd been patient and waited for premium hands, I kinda blew a fuse, went berserk on my boxing bag, randomly allined in the 1$ tournament I was in and then opened 12 tables of NL10 and fucking killed it.
3000 hands
+14.5 buyins.
Super aggro play, started off the session by raising almost any 2 cards in position, and sometimes out of it, cbetting and reraising when someone was weak, etc. After a while, I could almost open push the nuts and get called.
FUN :D!
So yeah, almost back to NL25 (I was actually even closer at one point a week or two back but I screwed it up). 555$ bankroll.
Wee. Not quite the 1000$ I had a month ago, but yeah, what can you do.
Also, got samsung monitor from FPP store = awesome.
Maybe now I'll finally stop pestering foolsplay/midian/grot about the ridiculous beats I recieve - afterall, it's hard to get too upset when you don't play just premium hands..

WOOT FA!!!
I must agree with fraser!!
PS. Other than 50nl, 10nl was the one I struggled with most. Just keep learning and plugging.
PPS. Currently at 100nl and it is easy as pie, but I imagine I'll find a Limit that is harder than 50 or 10nl soon enough =) |
