Lifetime Results - 359,418 Hands

Amazingly I'm a lifetime winner @ 3.94 BB/100 despite getting pwnd at NL200 and then a major downswing at NL100

This graph is the pretty graph

And this is just crazily skewed cause of the huge change of dollar amounts

• The lowest stakes (NL2, NL5, NL10) used to be prettier when I first won my way through them, but once I was playing NL100 I'd go to those 3 stakes while drunk and spew money around.
  
• I peaked at NL200 and lost 6 BI there while trying to move up, then I went on a serious downswing for about 30 BI @ NL100. Been trying to recover ever since
  
• There's no easy way to seperate out Full ring, 6 max and HU, so each level is a combination of all 3.
  
• The second graph is a better representation of how it felt to me - winning small amounts for a long time and then suddenly hitting it big, and then losing it all and breaking even ever since.
  
• My BR is pretty small right now cause I've cashed out quite a bit. I look at these results and wish I had a $4,000 BR so I could be playing NL100 comfortably!
  

I've been playing NL25 for the last month and a half after I started working a regular job again. At first I didn't take it very seriously and put in very few hands during which I was spewing a lot. The last 2 weeks I've started trying again, feeling crappy about being in the microstakes and really wanting to get back to at least NL100 where I know I can win, and then the wins will be some money I can actually use. Getting back into NL200 and winning there is my big goal, but I don't see it happening too soon.

I've been 8-10 tabling and it's going well. I still manage to play a solid 21/19 type of game, sometimes a bit tighter or looser. I've recovered mentally and can finally handle losing buyins again. Playing 8 tables helps cause I'm not so worried about every little mistake and don't get so upset when I get coolered. I think I basically lost my balls after the downswing and was playing scared for a long time. Playing with a big roll for my limit has allowed me to be more aggressive and that has brought my game back.

I've also spent a lot of time focusing on listening to my gut. There's been a lot of trial and error but through it I've found a lot of situations to bluff profitably or slow down to save money. I've learned to play much more by feel than anything formulaic, which I think is what I've been lacking. So I do believe my game has improved by grinding out NL25 recently. I'm excited to move up to NL50. I'm sitting @ $1,360 right now. I figure I'll move up @ 30 BI's, which is $1,500. So 6 BI to go, but I might just go for it @ $1,400 too, not sure. Depends on how I'm playing =)


That's all for now! Thanks for reading and as always, plz leave a comment on the way out.

My first year anniversiary as a poker player is coming up and I plan on posting my lifetime graph + stuff when that hits in my blgo

I just bought HEM and imported my lifetime hands, its missing several thousand but I got 500k sample size.


I've been sweating my brother fairly often these days as he plays 25nl so if yo uwant to get back into sweating, that'd be fun. I need to talk poker more and I have a ton of free time now that i'm back home in washington..

let me know a time

I'll PM ya =)

I can't believe you're only on a year. I'm a slow learner. I'm on like 1.5 yrs =( Maybe more, I'm scared to count

I've been using HEM for about 4 months now and totally love it. PT3 came out and I planned to switch over... DL'd the trial and imported my hands and started to use it and it was bug central and the features weren't very much better than HEM. Actually HEM was better on a lot of shit. So I never used PT3 again.

thanks salad =)

best of luck dude. you have a good solid roll and can really turn that into something by the end of the year. just keep putting your solid hours/sessions in. I'm not really anything special at NLHE but if giving you sweats would make you play better, since i know you are an analytical person I would be down for obsing. =D gogogo
