tl;dr
So i've managed to play a combined total of 2-3k hands in the last week. Still having trouble integrating hands into my database plus the fact my keyboard at home is f8cked up so cant write up blog entries with hand histories etc. but definitely have some interesting hands i'd like people's comments on and will try and submit them later tonight.
I've really been enjoying playing the lower stakes, not just depositing money, taking shots with 1 buyin and exhibiting 0 bankroll mgmt. When I had only 125 left in the account I resisted the temptation to upload a HU 1/2NL table with half a stack to try and chase my losses. In fact I've been through several situations that in the past would have caused me to monkeytilt/ force me to reload - set over set/ flush over flush/ Aces losing to kings/ queens vs kings
Instead I've stuck to my lower limits and ground it up. Im up to 12 buyins now for 50NL, had a sick session last night which started disastrously, losing 2 75/25 flips for 1 buyin each but salvaged the wreckage and kept my cool.
- I've started to use a bit more selection when I play, im playing 4-5 tables at a time, enough to keep it interesting and learning to multi=table is a skill unto itself.
- I notice now who the regs are at the stakes I play, made some notes on them and generally try to avoid tables full of regs whom I note as quite nitty/tight, theres definitely sufficient amounts of donators at the lower stakes to justify not playing the nits.
My plans are - keep grinding out the bonus/ take shots at 100NL. I have an ambitious plan of moving up limits quickly. I'll definitely continue reading forums/ watching deucescracked videos (they've been really helping) trying to get more active hand discussion going.
Once I hit 200NL I will start looking for a coach for 6max/HU and consider moving part of my roll to try and grind another sign up bonus.
Anyways thx for reading, its almost therapeutic to write down my successes and failures/ and keeps me honest If anything I've noticed, its that as a casual table gambler (BJ/Roulette) its very easy to lie to yourself about losses/wins and not keeping records in poker allows the same sort of behaviour which is obviously intolerable for any serious player.
