I just wrote a huge fucking blog about this and accidently hit the back button on my keyboard.. fuck me. Anyways I wrote it up again.

Today I finally hit my first 10k hands that I actually tracked. So far Ive been doing very well and fixed a lot of problems in my game thanks to Poker Tracker and help from others on LP and 2+2. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone. Anyways here are my graphs and stats so far on the 10k hands:

NOTE: All $.25/$.50 LHE 6 MAX

STATS

My stats are pretty standard for a 6 Max LHE game. Id say I play a pretty solid TAG game, maybe a little ABC at times but really its what you have to do to win at these levels because people play so bad that its hard to get tricky.

WINNINGS

Very Happy with my Winnings here. I think that 5BB/100 is probably sustainable at this level because people spew massively and its really easy to get your big hands paid off.

Dumb red line. I really dont think its possible to get it above the even line playing LHE because often people just call you down to the river because they have some "value" in calling.

SUMMARY

Ive put a lot of hard work into my poker game over the past two months and its paying off. I knew I could win consistently but I was really running into the same problem over and over again. I used to go on a nice run and win a bit here and there. Then I would go on a terrible losing day and end up donking off 2x what I should trying to make it back beacause I would move up limits trying to make it back. BIG mistake. Ive become a serious BR nit and this has helped a lot. I am fine with winning a little bit everyday instead of absolutely having to win a lot each day. Its better to win a bit then to be in the red at the end of the day.

Poker tracker has helped my game A LOT over the past two months I was able to see that at one point I used to call way to many hands. Instead I started to raise more instead of calling and those hands that I would sometimes really want to call I throw them into the much. Although I still sometimes make calls that I probably shouldnt hoping to hit a monster flop but I am getting better at muchking those hands. (stupid suited cards

)

Another thing that I think has helped me out a bit is actually blogging. I can get help when Im not sure through my blog and it also helps me vent somewhere when things arent going so well. For some reason blogging can kind of be de-tilting for me. Thanks to everyone who has helped me out in my blog.

WHATS NEXT?

Well its only 10k hands right? I know I know. My actual winnings for the month is a bit more then it shows on that graph because Ive taken a few shots at the next level as well as coming out on top in some HU sessions. I played in a few tourneys this month but didnt make any money at all but sometimes donkaments are fun so Im going to keep playing in the odd one here and there.

I plan on moving up limits after I make about another $100 or 200 BB which is easily doable. I think the comfort in my BR will help make things easier when I start taking the shot at the next limit up. Also I plan on improving my HU game. I really enjoy playing LHE HU. There are a few players who have made a killing playing LHE HU so there is definitly some strategy behind the madness. I plan on finding this out one way or another and hopefully do well along the way.

All in all things are pretty kick ass right now in my life and I cant complain at all. I hope everyhing is going well for you guys too.
