When I first started I got staked, grinded up a bunch of buyins and paid my staker back, then I grinded my my OWN roll again...then after Party closed I started on my microroll and grinded 25NL a THIRD time. It's all in my blog. :)
Hello,
Since I'm being discussed I might as well contribute! I have played maybe 15k hands at $25 and maybe 75k hands at £25 (which does almost equate to $50, after all).
Gabe has a good point, though - I can beat £25 at 8PTBB/100 over A LOT of hands but I don't think I have the game to consistently pwn $100. Well, actually, maybe I do, but the psychological factors are a big issue. I had my worst night ever last night, in bald financial terms - down 4 buyins at £50NL despite playing fine for the most part - which makes me down about $500 for the week. Anyway, I need to overcome these factors before I can commit to $100 - perhaps I should discuss my game with a $200NL winner because I'm sure it's full of holes (trying to pick on weakness that isn't there, for example - I am over-aggressive on the flop but fold to strength too quickly afterwards, for example).
So, to conclude - I AM a winning player but I'm not as good as I should be because I've been scared to move up. I SHOULD be a winning player at $100 by now, but I'm not. Maybe I don't, fundamentally, have the balls to be, and if that is the case then I'm not going to ruin poker for myself as a hobby by playing outside my comfort zone. I'm weak/tight, on the tables and off them :)
p.s. Gabe, if you ever want to talk poker, help me out a bit, aim me (markelby) - I'd appreciate it as you're someone I admire who often points out flaws in my reasoning, and I think I need that.
In my experience between the two, I think at micro-limits FR is way better suited for weak-tighties than 6-max. And I bug you about that shit every day in jest, but I still think it's true.
Dude my BB/100 is higher at 6max and my winrate is like double in time terms - oh, and you actually get to play poker at 6max :)
Just another update, my $100 = $400 now ($50isbonus)
still at the .05/.10NL on POKER STARS
Is the .10/.25NL on poker stars the same play as .05/.10?
I'm hoping to move up in the near future.
Present Day: $7340... was as high as $9128- but i had a horrendous 2-3 week stretch where nothing was going right for me (NL100)... You may be wonderng why i am playing NL100 with 90 buy-ins? Peace of Mind & Comfortability... I've started a new micro roll like setzy and built it up nicely but I am about to get back to playing with my correct BR and re-focus myself back @ 100NL... i am still waiting for that magical $10,000 mark which i have not hit yet.... nice job Mr. Happy glad to see things are finally working for you and ur making some money!!
i don't think it's much different. really since i've moved from 10nl to 100nl in the past few months i really haven't noticed a difference at any level. just play good.Quote:

I thought I was the only one.
my Contribution, up about 3k in past 6 months, playing .50/1 NL and some 25+2 (27$) SNG's.
*edited (thanks for delicately pointing out an oversight bears lol)
I consider myself a casual player (3-4k hands a week), but I want to play more this year.
Cheers.
50/100 nl? did u mean 100nl? and wtf are 25+2 sngs?
he probably means some 50 and some 100nl. $27 sngs are turbos on stars.Quote:
