Holy Heater! 11 Bi day... haven't had one of these in FOREVER. I think things are evening out from the horrible below EV shit I suffered in Feb. The lines have nearly re-converged and I'm only $600 below EV rather than $2,000. Winning flips and having hands hold up makes a huge difference!
Today:
I made up for my Sunday night spewfest earlier today and then sat down for a post dinner session and it was clear from the get go that I was on a heater. Pretty awesome to keep seeing good hands dealt and clean flops when you get it all-in. Also made some good plays and got guys to bluff 3 streets into me or payoff with crap hands like Q7s. I did make a few small mistakes and I am about to go review all my hands to find them, but overall I played really well. Much easier to play well when on a heater though!
I'm at a new BR high of $9,400. That won't last long though, for two reasons... 1) I'm on a heater and heaters are always followed by painful downswings to even out the variance, and 2) I have to make a payment to my coach when I hit $9.6k so that will take a bite outta the old BR. But overall I should be sitting above 40 BI for NL200 which is where I like to be. I need me a good cushion.
Anyway here's the full month so far:
March:
It's funny cause I'm more in shock and fear than excitment and joy. Shock at actually winning and the amount won, fear cause I know it's all very temporary and I'm not excited about the part where I lose it all. Overall I do think my play has become much better and that's having a huge effect on these results. Obviously the heater is affecting things, but I'm talking about my overall NL200 shot so far. A year ago when I tried NL200 I wasn't even close to ready, I had so much left to learn. When I started trying it again in November I was at the point where I could beat it but not crush it, and since I ran bad while taking shots I wasn't getting anywhere. Then since January I've had a lot of breakthroughs with my game and have been capable of crushing NL200 but just ran bad everytime I took a shot. Finally the variance has been on my side and my skill has made up for times when it isn't.
It's been a very long poker journey for me. Feels crazy to actually be playing NL200 and feeling confident about what I'm doing. I've spent so much time thinking about being at this point and to actually be living it is awesome =) I love being at a limit where a good day feels like a shitload of money. NL100 was kind of like that, but it doesn't compare to this. And I know to the big ballers NL200 is chump change so this rant may sound silly, but I've been a broke fool for so long with dreams of making money at poker and this is the real beginning of it all.
I've played over 600k hands lifetime and that's given me time to learn how to deal with the swings. I think without all those hands and experiences I'd be set up for a big potential fall right now. I am spending a lot of time reminding myself to stay unattached to the money and thinking about all the tricks I've learned to deal with downswings. So I'm prepared for that to come. But I'm also focusing on staying in the moment. I can't be thinking about how I'm about to downswing. I have to just focus on each hand as it comes and make the best decisions possible. And when that downswing does hit, revisit NL100 asap, have fun with NL50 HU, take a break, and all the other things.
Ok, done rambling for now =)

great work, and sounds like u are as well prepared for a downswing as u possibly can be... which means u basically have no weaknesses right now |
