Father, I have a confession to make. Please forgive me for I have sinned again. In late evening of Sunday, I violated my bankroll management for the second time and multitabled. But Father, it was only $2NL this time!
"You play with the Devil's fruits my son. You must know your place and understand your limits. The Lord will reward your patience."
But I couldn't help it! I mean, I'm pretty much nut camping to begin with and playing by the book tight poker, so I only get a playable hand like 1 in every 15-20 hands. It should be okay if I play really tight... r-right?
Overall, I did pretty decent today. In the morning, I played my first SnGs ($1), though they were just DoNs. Being my first time, I was really surprised by the play and quickly realized that this was waaaay different from cash games. So I lost one, played another and survived to the money. They're strangely fun, probably because they're fast paced with a clear winner, but I don't think I'm gonna be playing anymore for now. I'm still just learning $2NL, can't handle learning a new game.
Later on, I was playing in a normal full ring $2NL and I was getting garbage for soooo long. I wasn't losing money or anything but damn, it was boring and I hadn't played a hand for like 20 minutes. That's what lead me back to the dark road of multitabling again, which, of course, is idiotic since I only have a week's worth of real money poker experience....but I guess no need for the self-deprecation since that's what Keith is for, so I'll just tell you the results, which was pretty alright
I was playing 3 tables and tried to play even tighter than usual to at least limit somewhat what I knew was an already risky situation. All in all, I only lost one big hand against a set when I had TPTK and I was drawing to the nut flush. Other than that, standard stuff, no significant battles, although there was one notable exception...I got my first straight flush, BOOYA.
Do ppl still say booya?
I still say booya.

The pot wasn't a big but I at least got him to call the overbet I guess. Should I have done pot-sized bets instead of 2/3?
Back to the multitabling, well, technically, it's wasn't too far above my bankroll with enough for 10BBs each (not as bad as last time where I had like 2 for each table lol)...but I'm gonna promise myself not violate my bankroll again. I'm starting to see that this grind is totally possible and I really want to do this. If I do multitable again, I'll restrict myself to two tables, which'll give me at least 15BBs
