Huuuuuuuuugely succesful move up to 1/2 (lol 12bb/100, if only that was sustainable :D)

Moving up was seriously a really, really good decision because I haven't tilted a single time yet, which might be partly because I've been running good/not playing much, but also I think it's because the money at 1/2 hurts way more than the money at .5/1 (IE I played so much .5/1 it didn't feel good/bad losing a buyin).

I also finally feel like I'm not playing on auto-pilot, maybe it's all running good but I feel like I can tell a little bit better what type of hands people have and therefore I might be getting better value than before.

Table selecting reallllly carefully now, I think this might be one of the best additions to my winrate ever (I started it sometime last month), not just joining the tables with the biggest avg. pot.

Hands!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266274 - First allin at 1/2!
Since I know this guy is pretty floaty/tricky/aggro I think, since I picked up the NFD) it might be better to just call and let him bluff.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266357 - Hybris from winning a big pot at another table, I put him on weak ace and thought he could fold it :[ (I had played almost no hands at this table due to being carddead so.. this was like first hand I raised in a really long time).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266358 - there's the big pot!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266359 - Lol, I'm lucky he didn't raise me on the flop, I'd have been allin soooo fast.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266389 - Sooo ugly, better betsizes would have helped me on the river.

A pretty funny hand that I wasn't involved in:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267033

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267057 - Weeee

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267297 - Biggest pot I'd won at the time, might be biggest still, not sure.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267301 -
vs 18/2.. I figured I'd get more money from his JJ, QQ by calling than by RR flop. Ugly river.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267310 - bankin the sklansky bucks

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267330 - bankin real money! It's awesome when you have a guy willing to felt Q6s preflop.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267851 - I thought given his extremely strong line I might be better off just calling (since I have 0 fold equity).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267854 - So THAT'S how it's done..!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267856 - Ez shippin', nice of him to more or less tell me he had a flush as well :D

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267978 - A revolutionary new way to play ace king..!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267979 - WEe.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267980 - more sklansky bucks

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267981 - Proooobably should have bet turn to protect my hand from strong hearts? Although he might bet those again on the turn, or semi-bluff c/r.. Hm.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267982 - Ah~ Doh.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268023 - One of the first hands of the session, slowplayed KKK vs my turned set = ouch.
Didn't tilt at all tho and ended up running over 2 tables playing 25/20~ for a while.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268065 - Teodore had JJ, thought I was isolating the A9 fish (which I obv was doing a lot). Might be better to 4bet here?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268066 - Thought he'd slowplay a ten.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268067 - Noo, thought he had a weaker straight

Oh well, not much I can do about this, 70/X/X guy can have a lot of hands here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268068 - Repping the Ace king~_~

6k reached!

Altogether an exceptional start to september, hopefully I'll play a lot while I'm running this well (I played my 2 longest 1/2 session after I lost a buyin early on, although only 1 of them ended negative - barely - this is a bad pattern).

Need a smack in the head for always chasing losses and quitting early when winning (although I'm usually quitting because I feel like I'm getting overly cautious not to lose, I tend to ignore similiar symptoms suggesting I quit when I'm losing).

Dunno how much rakeback I've got coming, but it should be a few hundred at least, hopefully by the end of the month - coupled with rakeback - I'll have enough for NL300 or NL400. Although I'm not really in a hurry to move up, I just hope I'll be able to, should I feel ready.

I almost sat in a NL300 game today after I couldn't find a good 4th 1/2 table but decided against it despite there being a 60/0/0 (well something low) fish in there with a big stack.

Oh, there's a ton more regs who love to squeeze up at 1/2, I can imagine that getting really frustrating if you run bad.

I didn't play at all for the first 5 days of this month so it's a little less light than it looks (since I 4 table), but definitely need to play a lot more.

I actually started almost a year ago, I don't remember the exact date but I think it was in the last week of november, with 50$ GroT lended me (<3)! I was at NL25 by january so it's not really that quick progress.

You can remove a month where I couldn't play due to neteller problems and I only played for about the first week in June, so I guess I'm making alright progress.
