End of week update. Pulled in a couple of decent sessions to end up the week (and whole Everest time) slightly up in HM. Have also cleared $75 of bonus, so my roll is looking the best it has since I made this switch.


I've identified a weak point in my game. Heres a copy of what I sent a few friends via email:
have approx 6,000 hands so far at Everest, and I've played over 22% of my hands from the SB compared to 20% from the button. My quandry is that I'm running at over 9bb/100 profit in the SB and about break even from the button.

Button - 20/15/1.9
SB - 22/11/2.9

So it seems like I'm completing/calling a LOT from the SB, but playing a lot of flops quite aggressively (stealing I guess), whereas I'm raising aggressively (and frankly, not even that loosely) from the button but then playing moderately aggressively postflop.

I think part of my problem on the button is when I'm on tables with laggy postflop players. They have like 50% fold to cbet at most, but if I check behind flop when I miss then they fire turn 100%. Now of course I could (and try to) exploit that, but either the cards are running cold, or the times I can exploit it dont make up for the times I let the pots go because I dont hit. One option is to raise/isolate less on the button, but obv from my stats thats an adjustment I've already made.

Trying to get some feedback out of HM, but not always sure what I'm looking for, this one just stood out a bit. Any advice or thoughts?
Got some good ideas off them already, but I'm always happy to hear more if anyone reads this and has some thoughts .

God my graph looks swingy. Other peoples graphs dont look like this I'm sure. I seem to run either very well or very bad, with lots of steep changes in my graph. I'm hoping as I get better (still relatively new to this ring thing) that it smooths out into a more regular upward trend. The main thing is I'd like to see it stay above the $0 line. Out of 6.5k hands in my DB I'd say its spent about 500 hands above that line so far. Still, overall the last around 2k hands have a nice upward trend, and that includes a day where I had the troubles mentioned above where I managed to at least minimise losses which was a nice change. Hopefully I'm on the right track, and will continue to improve. I dont spend any more time on "poker" than I used to, but I'm definately focusing that time a LOT more on playing (getting a LOT more game time in), and on deliberately trying to improve myself. I think I spent way too much time just mindlessly browsing FTR/etc filling in time but not really benefiting myself much. Now I'll spend time looking through HM, my own hands and also making notes on regs/donators. Filtering forum reading into really trying to get something out of good/relevant threads and not spending much time on the rest. Also of course posting and reviewing hands with my poker discussion group. Thats working well so far I think.

Whilst my current op goal is $2k roll, I'm really keen to burst through $1k for the 3rd time and this time stay beyond it.

BR - $900
