The best thing to report is that I am feeling more and more comfortable at NL200. I'm not nervous, not scared, and today I cleaned up some of the spots where I was playing with scared money yesterday (mostly in 3bet pots). By the end of today's session I felt as if I was playing a NL100 session. The game flow, bet sizes, amount of money, and opponents all felt very standard. The tables are also tighter up here so it's harder to find any loose ones, which forces me to play 5-8 tables since I can't find anymore good ones than that. This is a good thing cause when I see lots of fishy tables I start jumping on waitlists and then they all pop at the same time and I'm suddenly sitting on 16 tables, which is not good.

The bad is that I've run pretty horribly. Today was about a breakeven run where I didn't suck out at all but got 2 out'd once. My big losses today came from bad bluffs. But yesterday was just painful and it had me starting to think that everyone was a super lagtard. They were just running hot vs me which I think is something PS does to you when you move up a limit. Seriously, you move up and they give you cold cards and give people great hands so that they're 3betting / raising your cbets / checkraising the turn nonstop and you start thinking "THEY CAN'T ALL ALWAYS HAVE IT!" and spaz out and spew and then life tilt and commit suicide on webcam.

I'm about 3,000 hands in and up 1 BI! Woot. Today has gone well with a 3 BI session to start it off. Peaked at 4 BI's but lost a bit at the end. Still happy with the result since yesterday I ended at $3,600 due to some really shitty suckouts. Now I'm @ $4,200 and taking a break so I can be in top form for tonight.

I hope I have a heater tonight.

I'm sorry to hear that you aren't running well in your shot at moving up. It's good to hear that you're atleast still up a little while not running very well. Mad profit for you when you hit that heater, though. And lol, it's definately super annoying when ur trying to get ur tables set up and waitlist notifications start popping up every half second, and people are 3betting you on other tables at the same time.

GL at NL200, hopefully you'll be settled in soon.

Also, I saw your post in my blog. You stated, "didn't read the post cause ur failed images tilted me too hard. learn to post images plz, and how to take SS's that aren't fucking TINY".
If you would have read my post, you would have seen this, "PS: Can you guys see the image that I attempted to post? lol. If so, which one{s)?"
Also, in my blog update below the current one, I asked how to post images because I was having trouble with it, stating that I wasn't computer savvy. So maybe instead of jumping all over me, you could help me?

rofl kapol!

hahah poor view =) He's having one of those really fun introductions to LP.

I didn't mean my post to sound mean-spirited though I see how it could come off that way. Though I had read ur previous post and someone in there had explained how to do pics, so I figured u were too.

Anyway, junta I hear ya. I've always been a "30 BI for a move up" type of nit. But with coaching I get the huge perk of live sessions together so that is very helpful. Plus it's just a shot - if things go well I get to stay, but I'll move back real quick if things fail. This is definitely NOT a strategy to take if you are worried about losing money. But in the last few months I've crashed and recovered so many times that if I drop down to 3k and have to regrind I will be mentally fine.
