Day 32
BOOM!!! Moved back up to 400NL with a 10k bankroll and wrecked the gaff for about 1000 hands for a tidy profit of 2 grand. It's good to be back baby.
Also played about 3.5k hands of 200NL earlier on and only made a buy-in. Though I was moaning at the time, in hindsight I'm glad I saved my upswing till I got to the 400NL tables. Hopefully I can keep this up all the way to 5000NL in like a week. See you there.

Day 33 and 34
Yesterday was a bit crap. I lost back 1.5k of the 2k I made the day before. I still felt pretty good about the whole thing because I could feel that I was playing well and it was obviously variance I was experiencing. So I plugged on for a couple of hours and decided to call it a night after losing 1.6k$.
Today stuck a smile back on my face though. This morning was tough, I played about 2k breakeven hands which felt like I was taking a step backwards for every step forwards. I'm glad I stayed at it though because I after another 2k hands I finished up with just over $2600 profit for the day. Bankroll just crossed the 13k mark again for the first time since my big withdrawal. Hopefully tomorrw will be just as good a day.

Day 36
Br is not scraping on the door of the 14k mark. Made about $900 today. Swinging all around the place at the moment. I was down $2000 at one point this morning bafore pulling it back for a 1k profit. 6max variance is sick at the higher levels.
But it don't matter because I PWN 400NL!!:

37/38
5.1k hands between the two days. Ended up down a buyin. I'm starting to think I've been a little bit to gambly the last while. I think I'll subconsiously try and tighten up a little bit post flop for the next while.
Also last nght I had my first live poker (cash game) experience. Blew through 2 €200NL buy-ins in like 2 hours and wen't home. My little brother made a holy show of me and walked away with €50 more then the 100 he came with even though he doesn't play poker. Needless to dsay all my friends have been laughing at me all day. What fun.

Heh sorry, it gets a bit monotonous continuously updating this thing. Thanks for showing an interest though, I wasn't sure if anyone actually read this thing!
Well quite a bit has changed since my last post I guess.
Firstly I took a week off pretty much because my parents went away for a week and basically I wen't nuts for a week. Lots of drinking and going out and not much room for poker.
Next thing I come back and the Party Poker Monster promotion lands one squarely on my jaw. Basically if I look at my Poker Tracker it says I'm a 1.4ptBB/100 winner at 400NL over 71k hands. If I factor in what the Monster will take from me from now on, all of a sudden I am pretty much a breakeven player. So something needs to give. Either I need to become a drastically better player (which I'm working on) or I need to move. Problem with moving is that I can't find anywhere that meets my playing requirements. So it looks like I'm stuck with Party and struggling to be a better player.
With regards to poker I've been swinging all over the place. This week I started off losing 10 buy-ins between 5000 hands on Mon and Tueesday morning, then I pulled an allnighter on Tue night and managed to claw back $3000 of the $4200 that I had lost. Of course on wednesday I proceeded to lose back 3 or 4 of those buy-ins to the masses. Hopefully things will settle a bit soon but something tells me I'm in for a rough ride.
Plan at the moment is, I'm taking today off then I'm going hardcore all the way to the end of the month in a desperate effort to get to 600NL on an $18k bankroll.
Current Br: $11868 |

Yup 6max all the way. Variance gets crazy when you get past 200NL because the players are so much more aggressive, often you have to put your stack on the line with a weak hand because you believe someone is just aggressivly playing at you with nothing. Of course it's expensive when you're wrong. |

I've noticed that you seem to make preflop raises that, from my 25NL point of view, seem quite insane. 8bb with K8? A7s?
Out of interest, what's the purpose of this? Ultra-maniac? Pissing your opponents off enough for them to play back at you with crap? Make every pot so big that they're on scared money?
I'm enjoying reading this blog, keep it up if you can... A couple more hh's wouldn't go amiss either. |

Well taking the K8 hand above for example let me try and explain what I did and why.
Firstly, raising on the button here is standard for me. Basically I'm trying to steal the blinds. I'll cbet a flop if needs be and try and take it down. My main concern is taking the blinds and trying to keep my Preflop Raise % high so that it's not obvious what I have every time I raise.
Now, the guy in the big blind is a guy I play with a decent ammount and he's a good enough player. He has seen me raise on the button and cut-off alot over the last few orbits and he knows that I can't have really good hands every time I am raising because I simply couldn't get dealt that many good hands. So, he reraises me hoping that I will fold my not-so-good hand.
But, I know this guy too well. He has reraised me like this before. Perhaps too often. He does it often enough that I now he can't have AA/KK every time. So, I think one level above him and decide that I don't believe that he has AA/KK and I re-reraise him.
Now if you look at the situation he finds himself in, basically I am repping AA/KK and he has to fold everything that isn't AA/KK. He will probably even fold QQ here and I take the pot down with measley K8. But I'm not just manically reraising, there was a string of events which led me to do this.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask and I'm more then glad to explain. |

Today I 4 tabled 400NL for a while and made $100. It was interesting though because I was trying to play a way more aggressive style then I normally would. It seemed to work out well though and I got people to fold hands in spots where usually I would be the one giving up and folding. There's a thread in SHNL, go post in it please.
I just realised a second ago that I called this thread operation 75k! Ha, I'm not going to make it anywhere near 75k profit this sommer. At this stage if I make 30k I'll be happy. So far I'm +13k$ and going slow. |

This is what you do sometimes when people lead into you:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)
BB ($509.05)
UTG ($204.75)
MP ($66)
Hero ($311.60)
Button ($211.80)
SB ($124.80)
Preflop: Hero is CO with J, T. SB posts a blind of $1.
2 folds, Hero raises to $8, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $7, 1 fold.
Flop: ($18) 3, 6, 7 (2 players)
SB bets $8, Hero raises to $28, SB folds.
Final Pot: $54
Also you make anote of this tendancy immediatly. |

| Problem is, at the highest stakes, if you just play a standard game, people know what you're doing and can play perfectly against you. So you'll see them get into mindgames vs each-other. |

Just so you know the way I played that hand sucked. If everyone had full stacks it would be standard though. I can explain if you like. |

1 fold, MP calls $4, Button raises to $20, SB (poster) calls $18, Hero raises to $72, MP raises to $132, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls $56.
Flop: ($304) A, 5, 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $7, MP calls $6.02 (All-In).
Turn: ($317.02) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)
River: ($317.02) 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)
Final Pot: $317.02
Results in white below:
Hero has 7s Js (one pair, fives).
MP has Th 6h (one pair, fives).
Outcome: Hero wins $317.02. |
Had you not been making a shitload of button raises, T6s wouldn't have played back at you, correct?
Is this a fairly isolated hand like the K8, or am I getting into some bigger picture stuff here? |

OK about that one.
The guy on the button was a little loose so when he raised I know it doesn't deffinitly mean he has a strong hand. When I see the SB call the pot grows to a size where trying to steal it would be worthwhile. Also I know the SB doesn't have a strong hand because if he did he would have raised with it himself.
So, I go ahead and reraise with my J7. I believe that I can get the MP limper, the Button and the SB to fold often enough to make this a proffitable move. If one of them calls I plan on cbetting any flop again, trying to make them fold. Basically in their eyes I am repping AA/KK. A monster hand. This is a standard move at 400NL and all the good players do it. In fact it happens so often that it leads on to re-reraises like the K8 hand I explained earlier.
Where I messed this up was I didn't look at the stack sizes before I reraised. Had I noticed that the MP and SB were so short I would have just folded. There is too high a chance that one of the short stacks will decide to gamble and I won't be able to make them fold.
When the MP player pushes all in and everyone folds, I realise I screwed up but decide that because of the way he played the had and all the dead money in the pot I am getting the right pot odds to call his all-in. As it turns out he had a shitter hand then me and I win.
I don't think the MP was trying to play back at me, he was probably just thinking "Fuck this I'm going all in". |

People like posting spectacular hands, most of the stuff you see is straightforward. |

AT least that would have been my reaction. |

I got to another crunch decision time again today. I've been swinging all over the place at 400NL recently and I've decided that it's not worth it. PT says that I'm a 1ptBB/100 winner at 400NL and I'm not happy. I'm not convinced that I'm even able to beat this stake long term and it just doesn't feel good to be a breakeven player. This is my graph from 400NL:
As you can see I'm basically breakeven over the last 70,000 hands. I feel like I've just wasted a whole month of play. The time has come to suck up whats left of my poker dignity and move back down to 200NL to recouperate and learn more about poker. Also it appears I make more money down here. I would rather be playing 400NL but my head just can't handle it anymore and I'm not even sure if I'm winning.
Poker sucks. |

Yeah I agree 100%... as Fnord said in a different post:
If I'm beating the toughest table of a given limit at 1BB/100 and someone else is beating the softest table of the same limit for 3BB/100 who is the better poker player? Who would you rather be?
I know it doesn't directly apply, but go where you make the most money. |

OK. Now it makes sense.
If you add another couple of hundred to villain's stack then this looks like the Squeeze play I've was just reading about in HOH 
But of course you can't c-bet someone who's all in pf.
When you called his re-raise was it just based on air v air? Did you put yourself ahead at this point?
Probably will make people think twice about going over the top of you... like ever again
And, yeah, great thread. Inspirational for noobs like me and I'm learning some stuff too  |

I thought I was way behind but if you look at the pot odds I'm getting nearly 5:1 on calling the last $56. Even if I'm dominated by AJ it is still correct for me to call here because I'm getting such good odds. Factor in the chance that he has T4 or whatever and it's an easy call. |

Irish, what about playing fewer tables and improving your game at NL400 instead of moving down and still play 8 tables?
Btw, great blog, keep it up dude. Although I dont always agree with your pokerthinking you inspire me! |
