Bode's drive to rebuild a bankroll
Time for another operation thread.
From Nov. 1st to Dec. 15th last year, my BR plummeted from a high of ~$2700 to a measily low of $1000 due to the combination of a bad downswing in the beginning + tilt + horrible spewy play. Ive taken a fairly long break from playing from mid December to about a week ago and once again feel like im ready to dive back into poker and grind out a new BR. Right after christmas i withdrew $500 to buy a Wii and purchase PT3 (when i thought it would be out at the beginning of the month) leaving myself with a $500 BR to work with. I decided to cash out 1/2 my BR because to really accompish what i want this time (to actually learn to play fundamentally sound poker) i need to start the grind completely over. While i could have done this at 50nl, i feel like starting back at 25nl is the better choice.
Im currently playing 25nl at UB to take advantage of bonus + rakeback but if Stars offers a decent reload bonus any time soon ill probly transfer my roll back there because id like to reach supernova this year. Ive played about 4k hands so far this month and am -1 buyin right now. I was up 3.5 buyins through 3k hands but last night i lost 4+ buyins, mostly due to QQ<AA, a FD hitting for a 300bb pot vs my overpair, and my J high flopped flush getting overflushed by a K high flush that villain flopped. Im not really upset about last night because that shit happens.
Ill try to post a few interesting hands from the last 2 sessions when i get home tonight.
My goals for this Operation (and this year) are to progress though the small stakes and be playing 200nl+ by the end of the year. Ill follow the 20x buyin rule up through 100nl and will take limited shots at 18 buyins. I will wait until my BR reaches $5k to move up to 200nl full time.
Wish me luck!
