 Going to take a bit of a break from 50nl...

Just lost 3 stacks in 5mins.

One was a cooler, one was a complete spew, and the other I stationed away

But at least you earned Gold Star! 100K donkament ftw!

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

 @ Illfavor: Yeah, I could easily just keep playing through but I think I'm going to make sure I'm not on temporary tilt when I do. I'm thinking about working on multi-tabling anyway at the quarter, and hopefully work my way up to 15 tables to get the hourly rate going/get lots of hands in/get more experience faster etc.

@ JK and Boog: yes, I am a goldfish :/

The experience you get from multitabling doesn't compare to the experience you get from having the time to put your opponents on accurate ranges and thinking through your decisions. I think the best thing you gain from multitabling is more stats on regs.

If you can still beat the game for 5+ptbb/100 15 tabling then it's probably worth the earn, but understand that that's pretty much all you get out of it.

 Yeah good point dev.

I'm probably going to watch a few more videos over the next couple days to get me thinking a bit.

 I got a good sleep last night, I ate a good meal today, and I got some exercise. Overall I've been getting better at life, and as a result, playing better.

I reviewed my session today and I realized that I played my best, yet I still lost money. Of course I did not play flawlessly - we can always improve.

The main point is, I still won today.

 Overbets from Tag-fish regs are always the nuts.

 This is somewhat of an x-post from the BC. Monthly results time:



Near the end of the month was pretty nasty. Got 2 outered 3 times for stacks, then decided to station off 2 buyins at 50nl for an extra $100 of spew. Graph is mostly 25nl with some other random stakes thrown in. Easily would have made an extra $200 if it weren't for being a jackass. I think I'm finally getting a grip though on what I need to do to get through small stakes. Pretty much just play good/don't get into pointless -ev reg wars, and keep up the study and review time.

Cash: $545.84
MTT's: $585.00
SNG's: +/- a couple $
FPPs: $70
Total: ~ $1200

So first >$1k month + attained GoldStar. This has definately been a good month for me, and is sort of a turning point in my poker career. I haven't really sorted out any goals for July, but as far as that goes I'll be aiming to renew GoldStar status. I might hold off on Platinum till I play 100nl.

 Good job on the completion...

Thanks for the link, I WILL read it no question.
Hopefully you'll keep stopping in on the BC?


Hope the new level goes well.

 YESSSS! Enjoy 50NL. Remember, I'm following in your footsteps. Make 'em clear and easy to follow.

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.
