Greetings, I have been a long time lurker of both the teamliquid.net and liquidpoker.net sites. I have decided that after recieving a no deposit bonus for mansion poker, I will attempt to make it as a winning player. I've already started about a month ago. So far I have done terrible, especially in sit n gos. I tried some double ups but mainly play full ring standards. The following pictures will show my progress. This blog will be where I will post my progress and hopefully be given tips to improve my play.

The most recent BI loss was rockets faced against a rivered flush against a loose aggressive who happened to do it again except against my pocket kings. My sit and gos have been horrendus. The majority of my losses have come from hands like AQ vs pocket pairs and coin flips during the high blinds. The huge negative in the 2 dollars was from me attempting to move up in stakes twice.

I know I shouldn't be jumping from stake to stake which I apparently did when I went to a 25c/50c game which I was able to double up with pocket aces after getting bad beat and losing half my bankroll. I from then on decided to play within my bankroll but now that it has shot down really low, I've started to buy in to the 1c/2c games with 100 big blinds. The max buy ins for both the 1c/2c and 2c/4c were both 5 dollars so I opted for the latter but with my bankroll being a third of what it was, I've decided to multi-table 1c/2c full ring cash games with 100 big blinds as opposed to 250 big blinds.

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

If you want to stay rolled you're going to have to obv grind the 1/2c games. I might even do that until you have a better grasp of micro cash. Set and follow Bankroll guidelines. Stay away from the sngs until you have a more sufficient roll.
