After reading the comments in my last blog post I realized that yeah, I haven't really put that many hands in @ NL200, so how do I know I'm losing there? I played NL100 for a bit, rebuilt some confidence, and gave it another go. It went ok the first session taking in about a buyin. The second session kicked my ass and I lost 2 buyins, down 1 buyin for the day. But it was nice cause I played with much more confidence and I mainly ran badly in races and didn't actually lose much due to my own mistakes.

I googled "Confident" and found this, haha

So while I'm happy that I'm playing better @ NL200, I'm still not totally confident with it and overall a bit annoyed to be down 5 buyins overall there, which is definitely not doing anything good for my winnings this month.

I've decided that I'm going to refocus on NL100 and aim to get my BR to 10K. At that point I'm going to pull out 3K for spending money that I need, and I'll be able to retry NL200 with a 7K BR and a bigger cushion than before. I also think that I DO have leaks that need to be plugged and are being exploited @ NL200. I think the time it takes me to build my BR up to 10K will give me plenty of learning experience.

I'm also going to increase the # of hands I play. I'd been 4 tabling and doing about 500 hands a day and sometimes 1,000. I've started 7 tabling and doing 1,000 at the minimum a day. It's very fun and engaging, and I'm learning so much more right now. I really need to get the experience and I'm so over-rolled for NL100 right now that I can donk off a buyin and not worry about it, but gain the knowledge from my mistake. Tonight I played a 2,000 hand session where I made a handful of mistakes but I learned so much more from those mistakes than I was learning before. It was really fun... even though I lost quite a few hands.

Anyway, I'm happy with this plan. Of course, if I'm playing well, feeling good and see some good NL200 games, I'll give it a shot here and there. But I am going to reset my mind to think that NL100 is my main limit right now, and NOT NL200. I am confident that I will get there, but I'm not going to rush it, especially when it's clear that I still have a lot to improve.

Let's do some pics from today then....

PT... I feel like my stats are much more solid LAG now rather than maniac LAG.

Graph of the night - I started off with a lot of stupid mistakes, but as I kept playing and learning from them my results got better and better, even though a 80/50 fish kept sucking out on me.

holy shit, sean replied to my blog, I finally feel cool =) hehe.

I've actually made a handful of vids but they were all for me to learn by getting comments, none of em would be very helpful to anyone else imo.

At some point I think I'll make a NL200 vid to see if people can give me some advice, hehe.
