Up 4.5 buyins since last post. Im at the in-laws for the long weekend, havent played much. im using the macbook/laptop so i can only 4 table with overlap.
If my math is correct, i make about 10$/hr in Bonus when I 7 table a typical Ongame Bonus at $50NL. Does this jive with what you are getting?? |

A few observations...
1. VP$IP is around 24%.... I have a feeling your leaking there. I mean On the borderline of supertight is 15%, but if you had 15% I'd be complimenting you. It would be nice to see your VPIP get under 20%...
But then again! You are doing great! So don't feel so much of a pinch from what I'm saying.
2. Don't feel like there is a problem with your game with a 4.5 buyin downswing. I mean it's great that you're not ignorant about it. Let yourself accept horrid days and look at it... but then let it go. |

Thanks for the comments iowa! Pleasure to hear from you. I have seen you around here for quite some time  .
My VPIP/PFR is now 20/10. I switched to that prior to 50NL. it has worked out much better for me. My graph really took off when i made the switch. I do not have much of a desire to switch to a 15/8 game. It seems very boring, and I think it would actually lower my winrate.
Thankfully, I havent had too many down days in quite some time. When I do it usually comes with some extra factor, such as being distracted or dehydrated/tired. At 50NL playing a solid game should net a solid winrate over enough hands. I do accept the fact that downswing happen. Im just trying to post to be more accountable and also to find out where my leaks are. I have grown so much since starting this blog, and my confidence has really been boosted. |

quick update,
current broll 2538$, bonuswhoring a hollywood 9x.. have played ~9k hands at 50NL and made more than 20 buyins.. still planning on getting around 15k total hands at 50NL before moving up to 100NL.
ETA 100NL ~ the end of this week. Also hope to have the 200$ Bonus cleared by then and i should have a nice cushion for 100NL. |

played really well.. up 3.5 buyins in 2 hrs.. i couldve been up 5 more but i got sucked out on riv by flushes ai on flop/turn.. i did a good job of not tilting after those 2 hands.. i just kept thinking how well i had played to get it all in ahead... i lost a few other hands when my cbets got called.. but overall i cant recall too many huge mistakes.. i never was all in and dominated.. i play quite cautious but it seems to be working.
ps, graph on the first post is updated. |

Played slagg today.. didnt realize it.. next thing i know my pt stats are 25/12.... that extra 5% is where i win/lose stacks (flopped K high flush v shorties A high flush)..
i lost another big hand with 66.. i tried to rep AA, turns out a lagg was trying to rep a set.. he had QTo!.. nice read buddy. 66 is my biggest loser by far. sets get sucked out, and for some reason i try and stand up to maniacs with it. i'm -249$ for -2bb/hand i get it.. the next closest is A6s, -125$.. nothing comes close to those 2.. maybe i should just fold every six from now on.. heh
anyways heres a graph of slag play, its something ive been trying to get away from .. 20/10 to 18/12 is my goal.. thats when i run the best.. i ended up making 2 stacks in under 1k hands, which is great, but i know i couldve been much higher.. i also played a loong session (>2.5 hrs).. i usually limit myself ot 1 hr, i play very sharp that way.. and i ran into a lot of 35-40% vpip.. they love to chase flushes, and value bet them on the river.. and of course i paid them off every time. oh yeah, and bluffing calling stations is my new fav thing.. 
so anyways i am not too proud of my play tonight, i will stick to shorter sessions from now on..
swing swing swing...
those 3 big hands are 88 (flopped set v AA, and another fellow with set of 5's).. then i cracked AA and KK at the same time with 56s.. flopped a str8.. 3rd hand was 45s getting a str8 on the turn after KK slowplayed his overpair.. |

the graph immidiately prior to your post is in big-bets/100, and the toma-adventure big graph on the very top is in big blinds/100
if the Y axis says "big bets", then that is bb/100.. if it says "amount" then its bigblinds/100. thats funny i was just trying to figure that out right now offline.. |

Gotta love fridays.
I made 7+ buyins in 2 hrs 8 tabling. Paradise has a new reload. I dont know how to import those hands into PokerTracker, so i just play there bareback. I played well overall, and made a couple of good calldowns with overpairs. Overpairs are worth much more at PokerTracker - non-friendly sites. Im up 203$ 4 tabling Paradise for 4 hours at 50NL.. ill update the top graph again tonight. The Bonus is easy to clear, and i have 100$ to clear there.
current broll = 3161$
have Hollywood Bonus to clear 200$, PokerRoom 200$, Paradise 100$ |

Up 865$ this weekend. 383 from clearing 100$ at Paradise alone.. That place is crazy.
Up 4 buyins at hollywood over 440 hands, i played quite a bit looser, i was 27/10!.. I was making good reads and hitting some draws, overbetting when i hit and got callers.. my big hands came from 77,T9s, AA, j5s.. i was calling too much with Axs, a bad habit im going to work stopping. but overall i think i played well, i didnt make too many huge mistakes. |

Your progress is very nice, good to see you've had an excellent run thus far. Just remember if you run into a downswing, that you are capable of playing well and the cards will eventually fall in your favor.
This blog SHOULD be an inspiration to any aspiring new low limit grinder. Even though you're in the beginners circle, I think you oughtta consider having it moved to Poker Etc with the rest of us Take care man. |

OK,
I played quite a bit tonight, the wife was out of town. I got KK cracked twice, AA cracked once, and set of 2's sucked out by runner runner flush. Hit a bit of a downswing, but only ended down 2 buyins. If any of those hands go the other way then i'd be up. I probably shouldnt have played such a long session today, and I played a bit too loose (22/11).. I would like to be closer to 20/10. Anyways, I cleared the Hollywood Bonus, and my bankroll is at 3730$. I have also completed 15k hands at 50NL. I have met the requirements/goals I set for myself a while ago, so I am thinking about moving up to 100NL.
Link to the following thread to tell me what you think.

well i have been "too busy" to play today.
i have a big presentation tomorrow that i have been procrastinating all night on, and posting on here instead.
tomorrow i plan on playing will-hill full stacked x 3 tables to clear the 5 hr 50 pound Bonus. i figure that is a good place to start. any suggestions?
then i will move on to PokerRoom and work on their 7x. |

oops i meant "tomorrow I start Will-Hill $100NL", as the Bonus only clears at that level and i have been saving their juicy Bonus for this moment. i updated a really long post on the "Should I move up to 100NL" just now as well. |

Well i have a bit more of a coushin now that i won 7 buy ins in the first 1k hands at 100NL! I also cleared about 130$ in Bonus, all in all my best single day in poker ever in terms of winnings.
I ran my standard 20/10 VPIP/PFR.. i tightened up a lot better than the last few days.. seems to work well at 100NL..
my impression so far at 100NL on Ongame is that players are a bit more cautious, and they like calling c-bets/dont believe my cbets.. other than that though its about the same as 50nl. i encountered one really good player that was 45/43.. but only got it all in with a very good hand.. so i marked him and stayed away.. thank goodness he wasnt at too many of my tables.. i flopped a set and donked into him 1/2 pot.. he folded and correctly knew i had a set.. impressive.. a lot of times that line works really well..
Thanks for the support/help... i hope to successfully stay at 100nl for quite some time.
ps updated graph |

Played 1.5k hands, up 2.5 buyins. Running pretty well still.. My sets dont seeemed to get paid of as much, but TP is getting more showdown value with people calling cbets with worse hands..
The Bonus is clearing really fast.. 20$/hr 8 tabling on the PokerRoom network.. so just by breaking even im making quite a bit of money.. there seems to be neverending amounts of 10x bonuses on the network, but if i clear them out too fast i could do the 15x and get an ipod.. its still like 50% Rakeback, and a site im familiar with..
looks like PokerStars has a reload, i have 120$ left there, and another 120$ just popped up.. i had been clearing it at 25NL, which was quite tedious.. i think it will clear at a decent pace at 100NL.. either way its 6 months to expire so..
im still wondering if i should try and move up to 200NL after my bankroll is ready (not sure how much that should be, 7k??).. provided i have played 15k hands at 100NL.. let me know what you guys think. |

| definitly consider clearing the new Stars Bonus. i think im going to have to pass it up at $25nl, but at $100nl, it should clear fine. |

ok, will do. ill deposit now and clear later. not sure what clears faster PStars at 100NL or a 10x reload at Ongame.

caffeine is huge for me. i used to drink tea.. maybe i should start doing it again.. soda is def not good for me but that is usually what i drink.. i think i play better with some caff in my blood.. too much while moving up or playing a big hand makes my heart pound a bit sometimes..
The last few days im up 2 buyins each, so im plus like 1.2k in 3 days of 100NL.. today im at the inlaws and stuck with a laptop. so im just 4 tabling some Paradise at 50NL. im up about 250 so far. i have 30$ more to clear. i dont have pt set up to work on Paradise, plus the Bonus doesnt really clear much faster at 100NL.. so im back down for 50NL, also im participating in the buddy system/hand reading exercise which i signed up for back when i was at 50nl, and my bud is at 50nl.. my big hands get paid off a lot easier at 50nl i think.. oh yeah and cbets work a lot better too .. i cbet virtually every hand i raise pf, unless i get donked into.. even if its multiway. i think im going to have to change that strat a bit at 100NL.
a side note, im honest worried about outlawing poker.. these idiots took us to war for no reason, they can do this to poker for no reason as well.. |

i'm worried now too. i've finally gotten to the point where i believe i can make a very respectable side income from online poker in the near future, and i really hope it doesn't get taken away from me now. |

Cashed out $1999 from PokerRoom today after clearing the 250$. Took ~4k hands to clear 250 at 7x. Not bad at all really. Much faster than 25NL thank god. I ran so hot i didnt need to deposit more than 500$ at PokerRoom.. built my way up to 8 tables and just kept going. of course i had much more behind in neteller if i needed it.
Started to have some variance tonight.. lost a big hand to a runner/runner, and folded a river with nutstr8 when the board paired after heavy heavy f/t/r betting.. ill post those and a few other hands in the HHs..
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=395436#395436
Cleared another Paradise poker 100NL.. i think a basically broke even there, but i dont have PokerTracker to keep me honest.
Total bankroll currently =$5643 -updated the graph
bears looked gr8 today.. i think they are one of the elite teams in the country, of course they havent faced very good teams.. but i think they will be 14-2. |

ya im back to the old 1/2.
I had a solid lifetime winrate for 2/4, but a 15 buyin downswing was a little more than my bankroll could stand.
You aren't playing party 1/2 are you Fnord? |

im never going to play 2/4... period. renton's strategy works so well at the nitty 25/50/100 level, that im avg 1 buyin per hour.. if i can be happy with ~100$/hr then im just being greedy. i plan on moving up to 200NL after 15k hands, i have a friend that plays there short stacked and does ok.. so i imagine its not too much different. he says he gets killed at 2/4 as well.
anyways i made 3 buyins in an hour here at PokerStars, so i guess i dont hate it after all
one last time, how much $$ do i need to be rolled for 200NL, 8 tabling? i was thinking 35 buyins would be sufficient...
ill update the graph on the first page as well.
current broll $5995 |

You'll move up to 2/4. I said the same thing when I was in your shoes. Now I am saying "I'll never play higher than 5/10." But I will. If you are good and if you are serious, you'll continue to move up.
BTW I am not getting killed at 2/4. I have taken close to 10k off those tables COUNTING the money i have lost in this downswing. Im just on a downswing from Hell, and since I have withdrawn, I no longer feel comfortable playing there with my current bankroll. |

See ya in the 200 game. |
ya im back to the old 1/2.
I had a solid lifetime winrate for 2/4, but a 15 buyin downswing was a little more than my bankroll could stand.
You aren't playing party 1/2 are you Fnord? |
I will be joining you gentlemen at Party 1/2 in a couple of weeks. |

Welp played a bit today on PStars and HoldemPoker.. down 1.5 buyins..
i had a bit of a problem with fancy play syndrome, ran into more than my fair share of sets, and got all in AA v QQ, guy got a Q.. at one point i had AJo in 3 or 4 tables at the same time, all missed, all cbetted and all got called. i was a bit frantic at that point.. my stats for the day was wayyyyyyyy too loose 24/13.. im thinking part of this is due to the 9 max on PStars, plus i played a bit of heads up trying to get a pot limit table going.. however now that i filter out the hands with 6 or fewer my stats didnt change much..
obviously i need to work on tightening up a bit... ive got a lot to work on before moving up to 200NL. already 8k hands of 100NL under my belt, if i get back on track i will be at 200NL in a week. |

Up 6+ buyins today and 125$ in Bonus. PokerTracker is getting some errors with Ongame's new upgrade.. so the stats arent 100% accurate.. however it looks like im up >20 buyins so far at 100NL in close to 10k hands. a couple more days and ill reevaluate my situation. i should be at 15k hands soon. the only problem is that there are so few 200NL tables (~10) at Ongame that id be on every single one.. 100NL has a ton of tables.
i did have a moment where the connection wasnt the greatest.. it is tilted me into a bit of a calling station and i lost .5 buyins with an under pair/mid pair. i also ran into a couple of people who dont like to bet their QQ even when it hits a set, or in this case boat. see:

Not for me  Got killed there at Party, moved back down to 50NL where they respect my c-bets and made 2 buy-ins over my first 600 hands. Confidence coming back, now I just have to climb the ladder again...

Lol, I crush 200 6-max and people don't give me credit for jack shit. Although if you like playing table captain, then the Poker Stars 100NL is a good game. |

Yeah, I realize that adjusting my game for table conditions might be something I need to work on When I'm back rolled for 100NL I'll start seeking some advice for playing with laggier opponents. |

omg have you ever encountered a downswing? lol that's one of the purtiest graphs i've ever seen. |
not since i started raising all pps and changed my stats to 20/10 vs 24/7. and cbet 90% of flops whether hit or not. |
by the far the best advice i've gotten in my poker career has been to raise all PP's , big ups to Renton
good to see your doing good Toma , see you on party 1/2 NL |

Welp,
+5 buyins today after only 642 hands. I played VERY sharp, and very hot. I was making incredible reads. Ill post a few in the hand history. I think I'm inching towards that 15k hands and 200NL. Oh yeah, cleared 50$ in Bonus as well. |

| I don't like stroking ego's but "You sir are running hot!" I am a bit envious but to be more honest I see your success as a challenge to myself to be a consistently winning poker player. Well done and don't stop posting. |

Hmm, ok you want me to post? well heres something i found very interesting. When i do my total hands for big-bets instead of $$ amount, i am running surprisingly consistent amongst 25nl/50nl/100nl (once i hit my stride). I wasnt going to show it cuz i thought it would be interesting only to me.
ps, bought a tivo today. i am still working on getting configured perfectly, but it seems pretty cool. i might even have to go and get a video ipod, as it seems to work well with them. |

Well i was up, then went down a bit tonight. With Bonus im up for the day a bit. However some lagg had my number calling 2/3rds big pots with 33 vs my unimproved AQ.... also another lag same table beating my 66 with 99.. 3rd level thinking going on, and they had my #, and position on me. and my very last hand i donked off my stack with JJ on a 693 flop vs someone who had 66.. that is a real struggle for me near the end of a session. and some 50bb stack got me early with my AA vs their KK ai pf.. of course K on riv.. and a huge pot with me having AKs AI vs 3 other shorties.. i would have won but a Q came on riv for AQ..
I decided to get pokeracehud, cuz i know that they must have had some stats on me to help them with their decisions, i just registered right now, and ill let you know how it works..
PokerTracker is really having a lot of errors importing my hands from hollywood, my stats are way off for tonight..
and i got tivo to work well with my computer so i can record/burn anything on to dvd.. and i was happy i figured it out with free software, i really didnt want to have to buy anything else. |
