Wassup. I've been back in England for 5 days now and I'm enjoying it so far, feels good to be in my room once more, be around my "stuff", my friends and family. I think my mind has been a lot clearer and, in general, I've been playing a more solid game. Unfortunately I've been wasting it continually, playing a TON of 100NL just trying to make my stats pretty -_-. On that front, I have been making progress though, I was -20 buyins at 50c/$1 6m and -6 buyins at $3/$6 HU a week ago and now I'm -0.5 buyins at $50c/$1 6m and -1.5 buyins at $3/$6 HU so my stats should be in the green soon, and then I can go back to playing $3/$6 6max and working my way up in games I should be playing. I'm just too neat and OCD, I hate to see my stats in the red lol

It's really annoyed me how I've managed to be breakeven over 30k hands of $0.50/$1, I mean almost all of the regulars are bad and there's a huge amount of complete station donks. I've ran really bad overall, tilted a lot, etc but I feel like my long term edge in those games SHOULD be a minimum of 6ptbb/100, and that's just not been the case so far. I guess it doesn't help that I find it hard to take the money seriously since I've basically been playing stakes 10 times as big regularly for almost 2 years. Despite that, I think that these hands may have actually had a positive effect on my overall game, I've had to go back and reevaluate a lot of the basics and I may have even improved from playing idiots, as funny as that sounds.

Here's some updated stats since I restarted playing early April:





Can't win without showdown at 50c/$1 heh, people never fold -,-

A few days ago I used up over 100k FPPs buying stuff, I got 3 £250 amazon.co.uk gift certificates with which I bought a shitton of DVDs, music CDs, some Sennheiser HD595 headphones some other gadgets and also got a 32GB iPod Touch, which hopefully arrives before I go back to Korea on June 7th. Also got a couple of xbox games, Resident Evil 5, which I didn't like so far mainly because of the controls and also got Street Fighter 4 that I've played a lot with my brother, beat him like 11-2 in best of 3s, and enjoyed the game a lot so far. d.Apollo is coming round mine in a couple of weeks, there's def gonna be a lot of drinking, pokering, pool and probably some birding on his part, though finding a good looking girl in Mansfield is like finding a needle in a haystack. Got a friend's birthday party coming up in a week in Nottingham too, which is a much better night out than Mansfield, though it's still a really rough area, might be able to get some pics from the night out that I can upload in a future blog, will have to see.

I staked Myth for 12.5% of the big WSOP event coming up so fingers crossed that he does well on that, it's the first time I've really done any kind of stake for more than $500, so Corwin fighting!

If I had never tried to make any $0.50/$1 videos I would have never lost money and thus my stats wouldn't have been in the red in the first place, and I wouldn't have been playing there for the last 30k hands trying to make my winrate positive, so I'll leave some of you with that feeling of guilt!

I know this site is obsessed with the red line, however I think that at mid-stakes such as NL100-NL200, having a crazy red line hurts your bottom line since the style of play at those stakes is more suited to being beaten with solid ABC TAG game than a fancy LAG style that relies on your opponents folding a lot of better hands. I am not at all surprised that you find the style of play that worked for you at higher stakes not generating great results at mid-stakes.

Another thing I am going to point out involves some guessing on my part. I assume that you play a lot more tables at NL100 than at the higher stakes you are used to (can't really see you grinding 8-12 tables of NL2000). LAG style requires a lot more careful analysis than ABC TAG, and when you add so many more tables, I would guess that the quality of reads and analysis that you are able to perform decreases greatly. It has been my experience that LAG grinders playing 8+ tables at NL100-NL400 are some of the most profitable people to play against after the obvious fish.

Just my 2c. I know LP is a big fan of LAG play and I am basically blaspheming against all that is holy on this site, but it's just so damn easy to exploit LAG grinders....

Nitting it up since 2006

only your own video-making incompetence to blame really. why, oh why, didn't you do a few test runs of 1-2 mins long. /troll

anyways, great to hear about how you're doing! delicious bloggage

I generally play 4 tables at higher stakes but only 6 at 100nl so shouldn't make that much difference

Don't think anybody wants to be my student anymore, I get mocked by LP 100nl regs and apparently I can't even beat these limits
