Operation where the f did all the fish go o wait thats me

So I've realized that at times I can be a station, a fish, and a donk in between the times I play solid poker. I "know" how to play ABC poker, but in the heat of the moment, I start losing grip on what is correct and what is spew. Too many times now have I immediately regretted clicking a button after pushing the wrong one.

I'm currently at $2068. I've been here for about a month. Up to 3.7k down to 1.9k, up and down and up and down, and finally here I reside. I'm grinding 50NL until I hit 3.5k. On the way, I'm going to play some solid fucking poker.

I'm making this thread to keep track of hands/progress blah blah blah.

dude post your swong graph, i love it

also, i see someone is FINALLY listening to me that 2k isnt a big enough roll for 100nl 6m

play well. Profit. Move up. Repeat.

Yah man, it happens to me but at higher monies. I think I'm getting better tho. Maybe you can do the same thing. Then we can go King Kong and lose our rolls together. Then we can get BFF necklaces! OMGOMGOMG I'm getting too excited I'll stop now GL DUDE.

Heres my 100NL "winnings" for the past month. Total crap.



And here are a few hands that exemplify what I'm doing to my roll.....

Note to self. When bluffing, represent REAL hands, don't just bet and hope they'll fold.

Poker seems like the easiest, most straightforward game possible. See what hands match their lines, size up your hand against them, and play accordingly. Too many times I either only see my cards, or when im bluffing, I don't plan and represent a specific hand. Fuck.

Good luck nigga. I be in da same boat as you. I will def. check out your progress.

up 9 buyins @ 50NL. I am crushing that game. I had a couple epiphanies a day ago...after watching some DC vids my suspicions were confirmed. I'm really excited for August..

Do share . Crushing 50nl is something I'm interested in .

So I'm starting to isolate my leaks and overall I think I have a pretty solid game. After watching some vids I'm pretty prepared to grind 100NL full on.

Note to self: stop 3betting so much OOP pre.

what were the leaks? and the epiphanies?
I'm running kinda lean at 100nl so far in August - I'm down like 5buy-ins or something... so I'm interested in hearing any thoughts on leak plugging that you may have!

Bet when checked to, bet strong hands, don't bluff more than one street without really good reason, don't ever pay off a regular as they're all supernits.

GW you just pwned 50nl!

I feel like such shit. I make the most retarded plays decisions @ 100NL, have to drop down to 50NL, get doomswitched and get every worst-card-possible on every street. And I start tilting after all this, and I lose 1 more buyin. I've been breakeven/losing @ 50 for 7k hands. Lowest BR since June. Gah.

Keep the chin up. Youll look back at this in 2 months and laugh about how stressed you got.

maybe this has something to do with it
