Hi LP!
I am hneaz and I play NL10. I am currently a senior at University of Illinois and friends with fellow LP members such as edzwoo, Jas0n, acckerman, k40cheddar, and TilICollapse, whom I met all at the Illini Poker Club.
I have been at N L10 since July 2010. I realize that I was leaking a lot and mass tabling way too much thus losing about 20+ buy ins in the last 7 months. My mindset was achieve Silverstar and earn Stellar Rewards as well as cash bonuses and I would be ok. I was still rolled for NL10 from playing NL50 HU shortstacked and cashing out at the Sunday Million (I was staked by a high stakes friend and kept $100). I almost called it quits and just focus on school but i realized that you can never quit poker. I am studying statistics so I am always thinking about poker.
In order to improve, I decided that I should ask for help from TilICollapse. I was sweated before by some people and it helped a lot but I decided to be sweated by TilICollapse because of his insane win rate at NL 400. I played 6 tables during the sweat and I was able to concentrate very well than when I used to 12-16 table before.
I went up 2 buy ins in less than 500 hands and I was playing more aggressively by 3 betting more, using position, stealing blinds and just playing smart poker. One thing that really helped was reasoning out my moves such as why I am doing this and what I am trying to accomplish. 6 tabling NL10 is really awesome because I am not playing like a robot.
Below is my graph in the last 3 days. I played looser after the sweat just to experiment the new style I am adopting. I used to play 12/10 before and I know I am still leaking somewhere and I hope to improve my game. My goal is not only beat NL 10 but be a disciplined player who can take bad beats like a man and understand why I am making moves in different situations. I think that discipline is key in becoming a bette player.
My stats. This is a very small sample size so dont judge by VPIP and PFR stats. I hope that my VPIP, PFR and 3 bet% will fall in the future. I was playing to see what worked and what did not work.
