Congrats sir, very impressive!
Just add a zero after the 75 and continue.
tl; dr
No, but seriously, have you thought about writing a summary of your experiences. I mean, some of the highs and lows and how you've come through them to where you are now?
Then you can option in to some big hollywood house and they can have Matt Damon play you in 75k - the movie.

that read is way too easy.
On reraising preflop:
This is a huge subject, you could literally write a book (at least a pamphlet) if you knew all there is to know about reraising preflop. IMO this skill is what gives the best players a good portion of their edge at 600NL - 2kNL. It's something I'm only coming to grips with myself and trying to get really good at. Anyway, bunch of random thoughts here.
It's not something I would advise trying to force at 100NLish stakes. A strategy which includes a lot of reraising needs a player type that can actually make some folds here and there because a lot of the time you are forced to put your stack on the line with very little in the way of real hands.
Because of this, you should also see an increace in variance when you employ a strategy like this. It basically inflates the sise of the pot dramatically in relation to your stack and even the fishies that read Sklansky know that ++pots and --stacks = mucho variance.
Another reason that reraising becomes more valuable as you move up to higher stakes is that image manipulation becomes a much bigger issue. When you play at hyper aggressive tables where there is lots of preflop raising you ogten find yourself in situations where you hold a good hand (like AA) and there is a raise in front of you. You are forced to reraise here a good percentage of the time. If you only reraise a tight range the good players will notice this and you will not get payed off. This sort of thing won't be such a problem at lower stakes because less players are paying attention and less people are raising preflop with a high frequency.
Your image can also become a very importand weapon against those players who do happen to be paying attention. For example here's a hand where I reraised a TAG so much and my image became so bad that he was forced to begin to employ a shabby 4 betting strategy which allowed me to own him here:

I agree with HJ's up there for the most part. The only thing I would disagree with is:
I think position is a very important factor in reraisings situations. Obviously it is better to be in position when you reraise. It is just far easier to apply pressure from this position and force your opponent to a tough decision for his stack. The problem with this is that generally players raising ranges increace dramatically the later a position they are in. So if you are in the cutoff and a player raises in MP then his raising range from that position will stand to be comprised of much better hands then if you were the BB and he raised from the button. But a lot of the time your position will make up for this especially as stacks tend towards the deeper end of the spectrum.Quote:
I dont think it matters a whole lot where you do it from, unless you start actually seeing showdowns. I generally never see a showdown when I do this, they either fold preflop, fold the flop or I give up at some stage.
Generally you should reraise a player more...
the looser his raising standards,
the more coldcallers between you and the initial raiser,
the more likely he is to fold to your raise preflop,
the deeper the effective stacks,
the tighter he is postflop,
the less you think he knows about bluffing lines in reraised pots,
when you are in position.
There's probably a buch of other simple reasons that should be here but they just aren't coming to me right now.
Finally, what hands should we reraise with? I don't like to reraise with TPGK kinda hands like ATo even against fairly wide raising ranges. I feel that we just leave ourselves open to too many marginal decisions later in the hand where we have to decide if our top pair is good. Hands like suited connectors ands Axs are good choices because of what I was referring to at the start. If we are going to be making large bets without much of a hand in an attempt to make another player fold, I would like to be doing it with hands that will a portion of the time have outs should things go wrong. Also obviously TT+ and AK are standard reraising hands. AQ is a marginal raise or fold "it depends" type of beast.
And ehh.... yeah looks like I'm done.
Fuck it, lets keep grinding and blogging.
You should make it "one brazillion dollars"Quote:

Tryin to play out 100k hands at 5/10 Party at the moment. Getting my ass raped in general and I'm down about 7k over the last few days. I'd say I'm a breakeven player in these games if not a marginal loser but I'm working my rocks off to improve at the moment. Been playing fewer tables, concentrating more, makin reads, changing my game etc so hopefully I'll be able to beat them soon. Hey! No pain no gain right!!?
Right on soldier :twisted: !
I'm sure you'll dominate those games soon.
Fun poker IQ test you can do here: [url] www.donkeytest.com [\url]
My poker IQ is 120 which is better then 80% of people that took the test. See what you get.
I got 114.Quote:

I think it glitched out once for me I got some low 130 number too though.
my score sucked cuz i said FOLD for last question wtf rigged
I remember this being posted in BBV a while back. I got a 139 which was the highest I've seen. The test is retarded though, I would never actually have folded some of those hands, I just knew that was the correct answer. Wierd.
How is my favorite donk doing? <3
green plastic got 143 on his blog.
Lyric made the test.
I got 131.
Apparently I have the same poker IQ as a high stakes pro.
I'm a 20NL grinder.
(Although admittedly I should be higher, I'm just a cashout fish)
Holla !
Sup ?
College is so hot right now.
Right peeps, it's time to get down to some serious business again. I've been donking around at 5/10 for the last while not really doing all that well, playing fuck all compared to before christmas and swinging around a bit too much for my general liking.
FWIW this is my graph of all the hands I've played at 5/10:
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...Hunter_1-5.jpg
I've been playing without really being properly focused on the task at hand. I dunno what your personality is like but I have problems where I will decide I'm gonna try really hard to do well at something and I really concentrate hard for a while and do really well but soon my interest wavers and my resolve dropps off. This is the state I've been in since I reached my goal of making 75k.
But it's time for a change.
I've decided that I'm not yet ready for 5/10 so what I'm going to do is try and play 100k hands of 600NL over the next while and see how that goes. Hopefully that stint will teach me some of the skillz I need to win at 5/10 and beyond.
Now, doesn't sound too difficult I hear you say... Well I'm in my final year of my mechanical engineering degree at the moment and exams are about 10 weeks away now. I'm also in the middle of writing my thesis for submission in early April so I don't have as much time as I'd like to get this operation done.
Buuut.. my deadline for 100k hands is the date that my exams start which will be around the start of June as far as I know. SO starting yesterday (6/3/07) I have 12 weeks to get this done. Should be ample time now that I think of it but anyway that was the plan and I'll stick too it. I'm sure beer and my girlfriend and blah blah will prevent me from grinding 24/7.
I played 2900 hands yesterday and made $150 (YAY). I'll update every 10k hands and plus post other shit along the way as I see fit like usual.
Here goes...
Running so bad right now it's sick I feel like crying but not really. Here's a hand I played really bad. Pretty much the only one I really fucked up tonight, I'm playing really good in general.

Hi.
Spending all my nights,
All my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes,
I'm right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Nothing left for me, ain't there nothing left for me
Zomg you've got teh gay now!

also, you say that you played the 1st hand great. why do you say that? what was going thru your head and why did you think you played it so well. your answer is obviously going 2 b very read specific and i'm interested to hear you're thinking on the hand.
also, about "lead out bluffs". i find that most of the time that someone leads out at me at $200Nl, it means that they don't have a great hand and they're trying to find out where they are at or get a "free" card.
if they do have a big hand then they would in general go for a checkraise. i think raising when you're lead into as pf aggressor is usually a sign of weakness and a lot the time i raise in that spot no matter what my cards are.
