You guys still have a few days to grind, but I'm done for the month, taking a breather and coming back next month.
I played a nit HU at a 6m table because he was not that good, so ship the red line:
some of it heads up, most 6m
total for RB should probably be close to $250 if you include the fact that I cleared part of a Bonus on stars |

I'm done for the month, gotta prep for my euro trip, leaving weds and it's gonna be sick.
This month has been really frustrating, started off well again but ran into some gay variance in my last 15k which has obv led to some spewage on my part, still my best month ever so I can't complain. Nearly all 2/4, maybe 5k hands of 1/2.
+ $1,025 in rb = $14,700. |

Lowest vol month uhmm, ever. I played a lot live.
So... a small loss on cake and a bit of RB = $648.29 online, a couple more if you count the mid year iron man Bonus.
Live... house games, bar games, a partners LHE and O8/b tourney, 1/2 at the woods and the sun = $4976
Fuck it! We'll do it live! |

Mine:
Crappy start, bunch of 50nl on Party in the middle, then back on track at 100nl at the end. Even though I played like double the hands for half the profit of last month, this makes the 3rd month running I've earnt +$1k so I'm really really happy. 200nl soon! |

I think I actually ran red-line good in the first half of the graph and red-line bad in the second half. My red line usually sinks anyway. The red-line bad bit was really bad though, it just felt like every hand the most passive guy on each table would minraise me on the turn and I'd have to fold or the guy's with the 5% 3bet stat would take turns to 3bet me every second hand. I don't think it was them adjusting or anything (I've played over 300k hands at this site) it was just running bad. |

Too many vacations/days off. It'll be a miracle if I can play more than 20,000 hands in any one of the summer months.

Stopped playing about 10 days ago... only played a session today.
It started with -10BI in all-in EV in 5k hands, and then tilt, no heater to pull me out, loosing confidence, dropping down...
April sucked, May was massive heaterments, June sucked even more than April, so July will be 5 figs imo. |

| Worst month of poker ever, down about $1500 overall, without bonuses probably 2k. Only $600 under EV so I can't even use that to make myself feel better. |

FT full ring
-$685 at the tables, B/E after Rakeback etc. But i now know how to play a little looser.
Party 6-max
was doing great in the 25nl-100nl trip until i tried 12-tabling 100nl when tired.
+550 at the tables, + $400 in promos, accrued about $300 in Bonus points if i want to cash them in now (but i don't)
overall ran and played kinda bad.
so about $1k up for the month. Yuck. |

I did my best to ruin the month by moving back to $100NL and proceeded to drop 8BI's in a runbad, tilt inducing, what the poop why me not again session. Lost the whole months work and got it back in two sessions. |

Well, it certainly can be done, but it's not something you do with the expectation that its an optimal strategy for moving up.
Last 100Kish hands, over the past 2 months 12-16 tabling at 7bb/100, plus 2.2K RB:
I'm gonna be building my roll up after pulling out almost all of that, and then once the roll is up to around 6K again I'll try permanently moving up to 1/2 and start out 6 tabling it (which seems like a snails pace compared to what I currently do). Hopefully I can adjust and eventually 9 table. But I don't think I would do higher than 9 tables unless I was at 100NL or below, or if I was Nanonoko
This month:
Almost all 100NL 6m, a few times I played 1/2 and 2/4 because I saw huge fish. 6bb/100, seems good for how many tables I play but i tilted at the end of the month a few days and really should have done at least 1.5K more
These are my best consistent winrates over big samples, now I just need to figure out how to actually move up. |

Red line, blue line are both negative. Red line was positive for a while and blue line was negative. Then they crossed at $0 and red line was massively negative at the end and blue line was slightly negative.
Yeah I play 6m on stars I was playing 12 tables and tilting like a monkey so you probably don't have a very high opinion of my play superman. What's your name?
I've cut down to 6 tables and am up $400 today (this month) and feel like I'm playing much better. |

I didnt do too bad. Deposited 600 on Full Tilt on 6/9/09. Currently at 2256.90.
8.75 bb/100 at nl 25 for 13581 hands
3.47 bb/100 at nl 25 for 22528 hands
2.21 bb/100 at nl 100 for 6317 hands
Im hoping to see my bb/100 get up to closer to 5-6 bb/100 once i get in a groove. If everything goes according to plan I can start touching nl 400 within the next couple months. The good thing is that I am playing purely for fun, I feel no pressure whatso ever. My first session at nl 100 I dropped 4 buy ins like water, but I didnt really spazz. I guess not having to depend on cashouts makes all the difference. Yay to being 26 lolz |

| I've kind of noticed this in reverse on Party lately. A LOT of the regs have 3bet % of around 5%, and its just hard to play back against that range since it isnt overwhelmed by bluffs like 8%+ ranges are. |

| If you want to play that 5% 3bet range you better damn well have AA and KK in that calling range often enough |

The statistics in HEM show that people with over 7% 3b are the biggest winners |

| Agree, you shouldn't worry about people with 5% 3bets. The have their range weighted towards valuehands enough that you shouldn't play back light against them. |
