I just finished having another great session. I played 797 hands in 3 hours and 17 minutes running at 40.23BB/100. I'm up $32.06 for tonight's session.
I'm only $14 away from having sufficient bankroll for 10NL. I've been playing with $10 (deep stack) at the table which would explain my moving through 5NL very quickly (only 3,336 hands in so far). I am beating 5NL at 17.67BB/100 which I feel is just a heater. I've heard many times that if I am going to play with $10 at the table, I might as well buy-in to the 10NL games. I don't feel right skipping an entire level. In fact, I may add a rule for myself that I cannot move up until I have about 8-10K hands for that specific level. I don't want to move up a level because I was on some crazy heater. I feel that I still have much to learn down at 5NL. We'll see how everything goes and I'll play it by ear. I'll probably end up playing only one table of 10NL at a time and have my other three as 5NL until I feel I'm ready.
I made two mistakes tonight; one that could have been disastrous. On the flop, instead of typing in ".25", I typed in "25." This put me all in for my $15+. I was c-betting here and a call would have killed my session. Thank God he didn't call...but I really do have to be careful. My second mistake is of the same, but opposite (yup, I said it), nature. I wanted to type in "3," but instead I typed in ".3." He ended up calling the $.30 with nothing...so he probably would have ended up folding to the $3 bet but I still have to be careful!
I ran into Ragnar4 at the tables today...I let him know about the Noob HU Tournament and told him to log-on to straighten things out. I never really spoke to him on FTR and I didn't get to play a hand with him...but I did see him make $3.60. Just a fun little side note, I guess.
Well, the poker part of the OP ends at the last paragraph. I had a pretty bad weekend at work. I work in the casino entertainment business as a dealer in addition to working at the warehouse packing the trucks for the jobs on the weekend. On Friday, we would pack the trucks to go out to jobs on Saturday. For my job, we took a truck that I personally did not load to my job. I was actually getting gas while the truck was getting loaded with the chips. I arrived to the warehouse on Saturday to go to the job (with three other guys). I arrived a bit late and one of the guys told me that he checked the truck and everything that was supposed to be on the truck was on. So we get to the job, we open the back, and there are NO chips (except for one case filled with different color chips than we normally use). Now obviously a casino party cannot happen without chips. We had to call a dealer that was already on his way up to go back, pick up the chips, and come to the job. This would make him (and the chips and three other dealers) 45 minutes late. So now we had to set-up the party and try to stall the beginning of the fundraiser. We do so by offering a tutorial for the first half hour...but she wants to jump right into the games. We use the minimal amount of chips among 12 different tables. Luckily we get by for the next half hour and the chips arrive. The fundraiser actually ended up a huge success and the client was very happy. However, my boss was not. This situation should have never happened. Of course, me being the new guy, I was blamed for it and it is assumed that I loaded the truck. I do not want to place the blame or rat out anybody...and she didn't ask me what happened anyway. And today (I am also in charge of inventory), we took inventory and two chip cases are MIA. This coupled with Saturday's catastrophe probably spells out me getting the boot.
I just had to get that final paragraph about work out. It sucks...and I can't really tell anybody at work about it. Well, that's it for tonight. Maybe if I get the boot from work, I'll be able to play more poker and post more.
