yeah so everytime I take a shot at NL25, I get lots and lots of standard bad beats coolers suck at flippingz etc.
I kept trying it til I dropped to around $400, so I had to jump back down to NL10.
I decided to 9 table it (usually 4-6) just cause I didn't want to think and just fucking plow through fish who don't even want to win a pot.
I decided to make it a little interesting cause at NL25 I had a guy 3bet me every time I open from the button, and found how annoying it was. I eventually tilted and stacked off AT vs his AK pf and said fuck it. I tried 3 betting random suited connectors and small pp. I ran this session at 21.3/18.4/9.5 over about 1k hands and got like almost 500 bbs. I think I ran like a couple triple barrel bluffs which is generally not really a part of my game yet and stole like maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the pots. It was an extra swingy session, but caught a lot of nice flops and what not towards the end.
(I get a very sick sense of pleasure 3 betting 53s, flopping two pair, and stacking JJ.)
Anyway here is the session graph
+ Show Spoiler +
I also am going to start playing micro MTTs where the buy-in is like 0.5% of my bankroll or smaller and try getting a nice run for a br boost.
I just don't understand how a couple months ago I crushed NL25 with so relative ease and now it seems like THE impossible gauntlet of doom or something. I am bringing my same game from NL10 if not a little tighter and it just doesn't seem to work or maybe this is just standard variance running bad, but whatever it is it's making me mad. It's not like the increase in the limit is scaring me like "oh no that's so much more money!" cause I've already been there and done that, and I'm really desensitized to the value of a dollar (or dimes?) when I play poker now anyway.
I don't know if I will be able to deposit extra cash from Cake Poker now at the end of the month to take a shot at NL50 if I can't even beat NL25 anymore...
Maybe I will just 9 fast table NL10 for life and earn like $50 an hour or some shit.
Also going to Vegas on Christmas Eve. I really don't want to go and my parents are dragging me and my sister. We go almost every year and actually just came back from Vegas this summer. I'm only 19, so I've outgrown most of the arcade games and get tired of them really easily and other kid stuff, yet I'm not old enough to go gamble or drink, so it's like I'm in purgatory. I think I'd be okay with it if I could bring my laptop and just sit in the hotel room and play poker online, but internet in a casino costs like $24 a fucking day!
Finished my last exam today, too. Scored like 74 on the final of my Biology class :
Don't really care about it, just want to beat NL25 NOW!!!
edit: I have HEM and tried to find a 'fold to steal stat' but couldn't see it. Only see 'fold to steal from sb/bb' etc. I saw this stat in a deucescracked video but I seem not to have it. If anyone knows about it send me a pm

9 tabling 10 NL will earn you 20 dollars an hour max...
(thats assuming 11 PTBB/100 and 100 hands an hour per table which isn't realistic at all)
So work at it but move up when ready. |
