2008 lawl + graphs

• Opened up a play money account on PokerStars for fun
  
• PokerStars sent me $5 free
  
• Came from tl.net and read all the beginners articles before I put my precious five real dollars on the line
  
• Grinded my roll up to $80 before donking off almost all of it.
  
• Re-grinded what I had up to $200
  
• Moved my roll to Full Tilt because I was like LOL RAKEBACK AND BONUSES
  
• FAIL but it's okay because I came out +$200 ish from rakeback and bonuses
  
• Had like $1 left on stars because I cashed out exactly $200
  
• Didn't redeposit my $400 from Full Tilt because I was getting tired of poker, but my friend started playing so I hero grinded my way back up to $200 via NL2, NL5 and $3-$5 SNGs in like a week LOL. Run good in micro-micros.
  
• Deposited $200 because of the PokerStars 2x promotion deposit bonus. Had about $500 now.
  
• Took a shot at NL25 even though you guys probably noticed I couldn't beat NL10 at Full Tilt.
  
• FAIL. That wasn't all at once; it's the entire time I played NL25 without the ability to beat it. I played SNGs in between as well to get my roll back up but I did end up dropping my roll to $150 at one point- FAIL.
  
• Regrinded my roll to ~$450 playing SNGs. Ran good.
  
• Donked around a bit again at NL25 and was slowly losing money, but around early November I was like "HAI LOWSTAKES FORUMS *flood threads*" and also analyzed every big pot I would lose.
  
• Fixed three huge leaks:
  1. Peeling the flop to a cbet all the time because I figured they always had missed overcards, then fold or c/f to turn bet.
  2. Stacking off TPTK or any overpair against anybody vs any action (adjust from NL2-NL5 LOL)
  3. Weak value betting with nuts (e.g. halfpot or even less sometimes)
  
• Never looked back

This is completely false. One cannot beat nl10 @ full tilt. I crush nl50 and cannot beat nl10 at full tilt because of the rake (well pre-rb). Hence there are no regulars (unless they are retarded). Regulars @ ftp don't really plaly lower than nl25.



On topic. Gratz edzwoo, keep it up.

why would anyone want to be a n10 reg? lol

that is not false sir

sick bb graph wtf
sick moneys too

gw man, shame im b/e after ~30k hands on nl10, seems i also played too much nl2/5 and got bad habbits from it, now its hard for me to get away with tptk, im also probably cbetig too much and this morons keep calling my 2nd barrels with mid pair ....
every session i say to myself i wont bluff anymore, but its so hard to resist when i see them so often shoving missed flops,bluffing with complete trash, playing 40-9, rerasing with air,3betting preflop (rather min rasing ) with any random ace, i never know if my tptk or draw is good and i usually end up calling (or pushing with 0 FE) like complete donk

Holy crap, I just did some calculations and you pay 4.8 ptbb/100 at Stars and 8.76 ptbb/100 at Full Tilt NL10. LOL FAIL

sick man, hope to catch up to you a little bit this month haha. I'm wayyyyyyy behind if you were to compare my timeline to yours haha.



leak 1 and 2 have been so hard for me to fix but I have made leaps and bounds of improvement in the past 2 or so weeks ^^

hope this year is awesome for you
