April Graphs

Congrats gotigers!

Pour moi, a Tale of Two Cities - first go at 10NL = crashed and burned.



6k hands, -$85, -13.78bb/100

Not excessively upset about this, $90 of this was getting it in preflop w/ QQ, KK or AK and running into AA or a lucky SOB. But nevertheless, back to 5NL to grind it all back up again



14k hands, +$65, 9.33bb/100 +$10 bonus

All-in-all, breakeven $wise, but +EV learning-wise

Double J if you don't mind me asking... how much was BR when you took your shot at 10 nl?? I am playing 4nl right now and I'm wondering at what dollar amount I should take a shot...

Thanks

don't ask him, he obviously doesn't time his shots very well.

Common bankroll management theory says take a shot when you have 20 buy-ins, and step down if you drop to 15 buy-ins (at the higher level). Personal comfort may put you at 25 - 30 buy-ins to take a shot and a higher corresponding step down roll.

Wait until you've used up all your runbad after a downswing, and then you've got nothing but rungood left for the higher stake.

never even thought of it like that, man

classic

EDIT: i'ma ask Dylan C to add a "RunBad Remaining" indicator to all 'Stars tables

good stuff here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...-153390-2.html

and verily, 'tis not merely about the dollar amount

br mgmt should be based on A) your winrate and B) your standard deviation. It has nothing to do with dollar amount. If your a loser after rakeback it doesn't matter if you have infinite money you will go broke if you play infinite hands(O_o). Moving up and moving down after dropping 5BI isn't really *taking a shot*. Taking shots is what can make or break you. Moving up at 20BI and down at 15BI will NEVER ever break you.

Decided to play a little zoom this month, I've been away from poker for over half a year:



100k hands @ 10nl
15k hands @ 25nl


Will be continuing to play 25nl ZOOM

Just ugh. Between pulling off most of my roll and this it looks like I'll be grinding 10nl for a while.

I got back to playing poker in late April. I have two days worth of "grinding." I'll start posting garphs in May when I have some hands.

nice work. FTR destroys yet another source of money into the poker economy...


I withdrew $2500 from the poker economy last month. That was pretty much all of my profits before feeps and luckbox bonus. I still don't have 250k fpps, so no bonuses for a while yet...

a mix of stakes, some rungood, some runbad, some 1000bb pots, some HU4(%of)RLLZ that went badly, etc.

Play bad, run good. That's how I roll.

nh stacks. Good to see a graph from you.

Daven - just another usual month it seems...

who are these freaks capable of such volume? some very nice looking graphs up there, people. well done.

Stacks, I take it you're quite glad you came back to online poker?

Haha, nice one!

I hardly played in April as I took myself off to Tenerife for most of the month. 1 euro for a pint is dangerous, but definitely +EV compared to buying beer in England.

Hopefully I will have a poker graph to post for May.

Yes. Yes I am. For now until the next minuscule downswing where I flip the fuck out and think the world is ending =(.
