Played LAGgy today to experiment at 50nl. Tried to see how far I could push the nits and tags before they started fighting back. You can push far, and they tended to overadjust. People were calling my 3bets from LP w/AQ oop and just calling down w/Second pair on K hi flops. Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com SB ($78.05) Hero (BB) ($50) UTG ($18.25) MP ($59.65) Button ($123.45) Preflop: Hero is BB with J  , A 2 folds, Button bets $1.25, 1 fold, Hero raises to $4.50, Button calls $3.25 Flop: ($9.25) 9 , A , 4 (2 players)Hero bets $4.50, Button raises to $16, Hero calls $11.50 Turn: ($41.25) 7 (2 players)Hero checks, Button checks River: ($41.25) 3 (2 players)Hero checks, Button checks Total pot: $41.25 | Rake: $2.05 Results: Button had 8 , Q (high card, Ace).Hero had J , A (one pair, Aces).Outcome: Hero won $39.20 Like...rly, that's ur 4bet sizing? SOMEONE WANTS FOLD EQUITY!! Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com UTG+1 ($68.50) MP1 ($50) MP2 ($14.75) MP3 ($50.85) CO ($25.40) Button ($50) SB ($49.50) Hero (BB) ($92.65) UTG ($31.40) Preflop: Hero is BB with A , A7 folds, SB bets $1.50, Hero raises to $5, SB raises to $49.50 (All-In), Hero calls $44.50 Flop: ($99) J , 4, 9 (2 players, 1 all-in)Turn: ($99) 10 (2 players, 1 all-in)River: ($99) 8 (2 players, 1 all-in)Total pot: $99 | Rake: $3 Results: SB had A , K (high card, Ace).Hero had A , A (one pair, Aces).Outcome: Hero won $96 Anyways, session stats were a tight 19/15 w/9% 3bet (16% otb). Obv I'm not going to play this way all the time, as I'll be exploited more easily and I don't rly feel like changing my style too much, but it's nice to experiment, and I will certainly add more aggression into my standard 15/11 game. |

| So I'll post my lifetime 50nl graph at the end of this month (at that point, I will probably be done with that stake for good), along with this months and my lifetime at 100nl. It's strange, because I tilt more at 50nl, I stack off lighter, and I play worse in general. I just feel this responsibility to play well at 100nl (and my results are obviously helped by running good). Meh...that's definitely a mental leak. Anyhoo, playing well, running good. I'm slightly behind on FR hands played buuuut that's been supplemented by about 2 hrs worth of HUSNGs I've played, so I'm fine with it. | |||

| I'm 6K hands behind on hands this month, which just sucks. I'm gonna make a big push and try rly hard to rake in the first $3K month of my poker career. Dunno how close I am atm tbh, but IMA WIN IT. | |||

|
|||
| I dunno I'm just terrible. I think I'm gonna move back down to 50nl for another 50k hands until I can just consistently crush and play rly well as much as possible. | |||

Thanks to Boog and oskar for the sweataments! I played meh but hearing ideas and critiques from other players was great. Generally speaking I'm too passive preflop, and I don't valuebet large enough postflop. Boog was nice enough to ship me belugawhales ebook and I got pretty engrossed in it for 2 hrs tonight. I'm 1/4 of the way through but I'll probably try and finish it tomorrow or the next day because it's good so far and I'm fairly excited. I continue to put in the hands I need to and should clear 50k with no problem, and I've also passed highest monthly hand total at just under 34k thus far. GOGOGO |

Sitting on 38K with 6 days remaining. I'm going to actually shoot for 55K for the month, 25K more hands than I've ever played in any month. I'm also getting better, at least that's how I feel, so go me in that regard. Study time. Also, school starts Thursday but I'm a grad student so I only take 1 actual academic class

Meh. Making the big push this weekend. Been BE for like 18K, playing like it too. Still reading, but not really working to apply the information well enough. Will probably only play 1K more hands today then do a lot more study. I also discovered I function at like 90% getting 3hrs fewer sleep (8->5). Strange but it interesting. |

So I'm probably switching to Rush Poker for awhile. The h/hr are just sick and I ordered a PC so I can play Rush and on Absolute Poker while I bonus whore a little bit among other things. I got in 1200 hands/hr 4tabling (2 of 25nl and 2 of 50nl) without a HUD. I didn't check my winnings, all I know is that I was positive at the end of the day. That's a big step for me. Earned about $6/hr in rakeback playing predominantly 25nl for 4.2K hands (3 at 25nl, 1.2 at 50) which projects to something insane at 100nl. Anyways, things are looking okay on the poker front and I'm definitely poised to have my best online month ever, and maybe MY GREATEST ALL TIME. lolrush. Next months volume goals at the bottom. And yes I know putting in a ton of volume isn't the best way to get better, but I do study almost every day so back the fuck off tyvm. August Goals: -100K hands played total (not sure how many I need to play at AP to clear the bonus at a decent rate, but will see). -Avg of 3 hours spent at the tables every day. -Spend less time dicking around and more time studying and getting better. -Try not to play past midnight. |

Oh tyty. So I'm going to play about 20K hands of 25nlrsh before I move up, simply because I'm not used to the tighter stackoff ranges yet. I've gotten allin and lost 6 times in the last 8K hands and 4 were utter spew after going through some ranges in Stove, while 2 were just coolers. I'm being fairly nitty (14/11) but just having to b/f a whole lot, so it's probably just variance, which of course there is a lot of in Rush. The month is almost over and I'd like to end it on a high note after about 2 weeks of nothing really happening. Also, crossed the 50K mark today, will easily get 55K this month

Suuuuper excited about my PC coming in tomorrow. Probably only an hour of poker tonight (50nl FR). I'm not going to Rush until I have a functioning HUD because it's really easy to stack off in spots that are atrooocious vs. nits but std. vs every else. I had an audition yesterday and got essentially no sleep worrying about the results, but I did well so maybe I can get a solid 6hrs tonight :/ |

Fuck Rush. Variance in HU/HUSNGS and normal FR is enough as is for me. Maybe in a few months when I'm a better player and can profit while earning tons of RB it'll be worth my while, but right now I really need to get better. So, some revised august goals: -18hrs/week of poker. This sets a pace for about 40K hands on 100nl, which I may adjust later if I see it fit. -Every hour of it at 100nl or HUSngs (except on AP, where my brm won't allow it. Only 50nl on AP until I grind to 30buyins or so.) -Finish Easy Game, and reread the entire thing, focusing on leakfinding, and especially fundamentals of exploitation. -I'd really like to become an active poster again. -Run a marathon and invent calorie free food. -Get BB to post pics of women with real tits. |

September Review: +$0 BE in HUSNGS overall. Meh imo. +650 in table games from FR to 6m to HU in under 30K hands. Kinda disappointed but when I played well things went well so what else can i expect when I play bad? +530 in bonus. That was nice ldo to offset my general fail. +175 in RB. Would obv be higher w/o bonus but w/e +1355 or something total. I need to make around that exact amount each month to live (have other sources of income) and add to savings and I did, so that's really awesome. Next month I'll try and focus, spew less and maybe actually stick to 1 format for a change? Lol. How about some simple October goals: 50K hands of table games. 70 hrs of table games. I'll probably be 8tbling 100nl for the majority of it. I'd shoot for higher hours but I have some auditions next month, and am also taking a weekend for the Texas State Fair and am going home for the first time in 3 months! GL all! |

Thx gaiz. Am ok nao. For an update, nothing really. I'm playing a lot of 50nl 6m on AP (earns Status points way faster) and should probably get to Platinum this month, which is good. They have a ton of free money to offer (to lol compensate for the rake?) so I'm just gonna keep grinding. I'm only on pace for 21K hands which is kinda bad..will grind moar. |

Things are going okay. I'm shot taking 100nl on AP with 20buyins, which is 5 buyins from now, and continuing to learn about this 6maments. The regs are pretty terrible but even though it's 6m I don't have to tangle with them too much because 1/3 of every table is a 40/10 fish that stack off with TP on any board texture. As for hours, I'm a little behind, but can't make it up tonight because I spent all day at the fair walking around and am as tired as fuck. |

| It really is about just playing solid and showing up with the goods. Bad regs everywhere will stack off with 99 if you 3b them enough, and that's a pretty universal formula for printing money. As my coach put it, "If after a while you're not comfortable getting AI w/JJ in LP, you're doing it wrong." | |||

Got some solid IRL news. Will be getting payed for a concert this month and won't have to w/d much at all from my roll, so this should be a good month to build a little and get to 100nl for good on AP. I'll elaborate because there's a lesson here. I contacted a number of local symphony orchestra's about getting on their sub lists, which is just the lost of names of people they call when a contract player is unavailable for a concert, and lo and behold 8 hrs later I had a job offer for next week. Being proactive, and doing everything you can to succeed is one of the greatest assets of truly successful people, so I'm hoping I can parlay that into something greater. |

| Been running into sets at 100nl 6m (took shot at 20buyins w/4buyin stoploss, reached stoploss in a little over 1K hands), so I moved back down. I only have about 1 hr to play from ~11-12 pm every night now, which means I really have to be on my game and atm I don't really feel like I'm very solid at that hour.
