K, so I've been playing for like 5 years probably. Played just about everything. Started play money, tried freeballin and such forever. Eventually deposited 50$ on stars (dont even think I got a Bonus back then). Was a BR nit from the start even without a BR management plan. Played .01/.02c for a long time till BR was couple hundred dollars probly, then paid back myself my deposit. Been donking around in all kinds of games for wayyyy toooo long. Was lurkin around FTR for long time before I actually signed up. Learned soooo much from you guys. Shout outs to Spoon, Renton, Robb, BJ, Taipan, and recently M2M and Jason and many others that dont quite come to mind right now.
Anyways did cash games for sometime got 1K+ and have taken a few shots at 25NL which always ended in dropping back down. Have had to withdraw several hundred dollars due to snowboarding injuries and such keeping the BR pretty low. Last Xmas I took out like 600$ from my 1200$ account to pay for presents for family and stuff. My buddy had some sick cashes in a few big MTTs, so I started played those with some success between SNGs/MTTs. As of the last few months I felt my game was still pretty bad and cash seemed the best way to dial my shit in.
K, so present day BR=$1758 as of today. The beginning of October I had a mission in mind. I wanted to get 40K hands at 10NL through the month of October and make VIP silverstar. Started that mission with BR=$1,347 and 57.78 VPPs. I finished silverstar on 10/24 with a BR=$1645. So decided next mission was get to $1750 by the end of the month go for goldstar at 25NL. (BTW there were some 4.40 MTT wins and 25NL donkings in between this month so it wasnt entirely 10NL). I decided at 1750$ im moving up.
Anyways I have been here before and failed and I am hoping this will be the last try. (Also I know I'm wayyy overrolled for 25NL but I feel my game is lacking....soooo). The point is I want to beat 25NL. I think I might be at a point in my game that I can do it this time.
Gonna show you my month of 10NL. I know my BB/100 is low so dont flame, but first month back at cash meh. I think another month would look different as I spent the first week or two readjusting to cash game play. Also relearning wtf A game is. The plan is 10 Buyins at 25NL and drop if I have to so 250$. My roll can take it at this point.

Felt like around 15K I got my Cbettin and aggression under control, as well as hand ranges and such after adjusting (probly heatin too). Then downswong + playing lazy ass Bgame even Cgame poker and maybe some D for drunk game. Then broke 1750$ like I wanted and here I am.
Anyways NOVEMBER=25NL/250$/3000VPPs. hopefully....
and watch the fuck out for this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Kyi0WNg40 |

man how the crap do i post the graphs strait up?
anyways...rough first day but feel like first 1k I played terrible and was pretty card dead to go with it. Kinda forcing the action a bit. Last 1k felt like I started getting my sh!t together but still played fairly badly. Hoping for better days to come, at least we aint down.
I live in a ski resort town and right now the resort doesnt open for 2 more weeks. Im out of the job basically till they open and the town comes back to life so I got some time. And will somebody please tell me how to post these graphs properly?? |

Got in a few hundred hands late last night +1 buyin  ! It does seem a bit harder to table select. Its like every table has 2-3 super nits the rest is short stack donk/stations. It seems like people aren't in as big a hurry to dump their stacks like they were at 10NL too. Overall the play isn't too different tho, but this is still the beginning so we'll see. |

almost +2 Buyins in 400 hands. Playing 1-2 tables ATM, gotta slow the fuck down and think about what im doin. Just to simpylify for BR updates, Im just gonna go by what im playing with at 25NL instead of what my whole roll is.
So the 25NL ROLL=$137  only 5.5 Buyins. Almost 6k hands.
Bout halfway through Pro NL, wanna finish it before I go back to the tables. Might go snowboarding tomorrow, take the day off from poker. Gonna try to get on IRC a bit too, still haven't been in there. |

Arg I just can't get going. Everytime I start spend an hour or two gettin up about a buyin.....
Very first hand at the table.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
UTG ($31.75)
MP ($19.75)
CO ($23.45)
Button ($30.75)
SB ($31.50)
Hero (BB) ($25)
Preflop: Hero is BB with A , A
1 fold, MP calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, 2 folds, Hero bets $1.75, MP calls $1.50, 1 fold
Flop: ($3.85) 9, 4, K (2 players)
Hero bets $2.70, MP raises to $8.25, Hero raises to $23.25 (All-In), MP calls $9.75 (All-In)
Turn: ($39.85) 9 (2 players, 2 all-in)
River: ($39.85) 6 (2 players, 2 all-in)
Total pot: $39.85 | Rake: $1.95
Results below:
Hero had A, A (two pair, Aces and nines).
MP had 4 , 4 (full house, fours over nines).
Outcome: MP won $37.90
Then I tend to spew off another buyin trying to force things or just gettin goddamn impatient. Add 2 more tables trying to get it back but gettin myself into a few more spewy spots instead.
So 25NL BR=45$ Just under 2 buyins. Did a few 10NL seshs when I didnt feel like 25NL so im gonna put those in play for now and bump it up to BR=81$. But I got some serious game issues, shouldn't be having this much trouble I think. Been reading thru Robb and BJs old opps when the were moving up, sounds the same, having same struggles. Read Jason's too and that foo had an EZ transition  .
Been going thru the old HHs, seems like all the bigger pots come down to me being a moron or opposition being a moron but hittin when drawing thin. I'm gonna keep stickin it out here but dunno, I'll probly have to go back down. But it seems like I got some serious leaks that need to be fixed anyways so goin back down may be for the best. |

This type of thing happens to me about 4-5 times a session. Except I don't even know it happened until I do my session review. You have to learn to not give a shit one way or the other. You have to be like.. "I win a huge pot" yawn "I lose a huge pot and take a beat" yawn. Onward we go.
Letting past hands, whether good or bad, affect future decisions is the definition of tilt.
Our equity is almost never 100% when the money goes in. A certain number of times out of 100 we will lose. If we didn't, the fish would stop playing.. and we don't want that.
Averaging 60% equity when the money goes in will make us a huge winner over time.. but if we let the other 40% piss us off, we tilt and WE become the 40% fish for awhile.. at least 'til we give a beat and get off tilt.
By the way, have you ever tried FR? Its a lot less intense than 6-max and the swings seem to be a lot more gentle. I spend 90% of my time 9-handed now and read a lot and practice getting better at 6-max in spare time. I also use a 100 buy-in rule for 6-max. |

Ya I'm usually like really good at shakin shit like that off. I think part of the problem is im playing less tables and the action goes sooooo much slower. Then I do tend to stew over an hours worth of play flushed away in 2 seconds. Also now that BR for this level is sooo limited just pains me to see a buyin shippin instead of gettin shipped. Gotta get over it I know  . I never even flinch when that crap happens at 10NL.
As for FR, ya tried it but then the ADD sets in from boredom. Boredness usually leads to spew...gotta work on that aswell.
Wow goddamn 100BI rule for 6max??
Got a little more play in last night BR=59$ |
