february graphs

everybody, post your february graphs!

I wish I had more time to play...

Damn I played more this month than normal.
Will you are crazy.

$1200 day today sure helped my graph out!

I always seem to run really well around the middle and the end of the month.
Maybe it has something to do with the fish getting their cheques from work and then signing them over to me on the weekends!

That's my theory anyways.

Wow will, 94k hands, thats sick. I wish I had your work ethic. I had a week more or less off from poker this month as there was a music festival here and some friends were in town, so I only got in 25k hands.

100BB graph:


100BB stats:


20BB graph (lol worst shortstacker ever right here!):


Going for a super grind month (by my standards) in March, shooting for 40k hands of 100BB and maybe a little bit of shortstacking for rakeback if I feel like it.

Heres mine... all 100NL full

Im on two different databases this month.














plus a $1500 bonus...

+ $6780 2nd best month ever.

depressing month



Report card for February goals:
play 25k hands - Fail
win $2000 - Fail
take a shot at 200NL - accomplished

Hopefully march goes better.

It may look like I need to play more, but really what I need is to study more.

First 6k is running bad at 1/2 and last 4k is running good at 2/4. Soooo looking forward to this month since I'll be playing a bit laggier and pwwwning. Hopefully I can buckle down for at least another 10k hands lol. I just keep wanting to spend my time researching the game instead of playing the game. Weird, but good imo. If I run bad this month I'll be playing a bit more though since I need the money.





edit: Oops looks like I forgot to add in like $200 I lost at hu and 3/6 over like 50 hands. Oh well. Not like any of youse gonna notice or care anyways.

I started playing poker again this month, so i've been pretty lowstacked trying to build up a bankroll to pwn 5/1 and maybe 1/2.

The first two weeks i focused on SNG: (iknow its SH forum but its feb post)





The last two weeks i've been playing cashgames from NL10 to NL50 (actually im ready for NL100):





+ rakeback

Played a lot of hands this month. Not running as hot as in January but I'm happy everything turned out green

You're so sick Bill

First part is standard downswing @ 100NL, rest is 5BB/100 @ 200NL, Just gotta play more hands this month

Must play more hands

How do I make my pictures not so small!

started out running bad and playing bad, move down for a while and finally moved back up 5 days later. 13k hands @25nl in 5 days. one of my biggest months volume wise and i didnt play the last 9 days of the month. im just happy to get back into the green.

Back playing again after about 15 months off. Have enjoyed keeping up with things by lurking on FTR here and there.

Back story... took a break after UIGEA in Oct 06 then came the arrival of our first baby in Jan 07. I work from home so take it is me that takes majority care of young Benji ever since his Mum went back to work.

I decided to relaunch my poker playing (and relieve the itch) by starting fresh learning 6 max (since I was 100 NL full ring pre UIGEA) and was donking around at 10 NL & 25NL for previous months playing sporadically and getting the hang of short handed. Got serious at the end of January after launching an account at Full Tilt, and am 1/3 way through the bonus there after 5 weeks. Roll is well over 5k so will be moving to 0.50/$1 next month to continue the learning curve in 6-max.

I want to send a big thanks to ISF and Sauce whose articles, guides, posts, videos is what made the transition to 6-max so much easier and so much more fun. ISF really needs to be signed up by FTR to keep his excellent articles here - before a poker magazine or other takes him from us.

Its been a profiable month - and the most hands I have ever logged (thanks to switch to 6-max no doubt).






(Note to self : host on imageshack.us and use the "direct link to image" at very bottom and wrap in the Img html markers.)

On the plus side, I took 4th in a $5 rebuy 6 max for $700 last night (only one of 4 or 5 tournaments I played this month). My edge in this tournament was absolutely huge, the players were just awful. And I'm up about $150 playing heads up razz against insanely bad players. I'm not any good, I haven't even read a book on it, although Sklanksy on Poker is in the mail. But they are so bad I still profit. With that and rakeback, which should be about $500, it's a pretty good month.

Too bad I can't beat 50NL though. Beating 25NL alone does not give you the necessary skills for beating 50NL at full tilt, that's for sure. They are totally different games and I can't seem to adapt to 50NL. I'm gonna keep trying though.

+4k RB
+2k bonus

I hate february....

running bad + a little spew =


No big deal I'm going to murder march.

Made about 9k but spread out over computers, though it was 15k
a few days ago .

Fuck February



Down 6 buys in AI luck for $50NL and 4 buys AI luck for $100NL



Yeah must play more hands etc etc.....
Played 2000 of those hands yesterday for 4 buy ins @ $50NL, and still ran bad to the tune of 3 buy ins lol.

Some of the graphs are very inspiring

go look at the february graphs in BBV over at 2+2 for some truely sick graphs.

Taxi, the "Game analysis" graph should NOT be used as a measure for how you're running. You can look at the All-In hands graph for an accurate representation of how you run in all-in spots (obv that is in S-bux not G-bux so it's not super useful anyway).

(I'm not saying that you're not running bad, but that graph isn't really meant to tell that story.)

Could you expand on this a little please, I was under the same impression as will.

Testing

+1.2k in RB
+1k in bonus
+2.2k in pound conversion

yay for end of month upswing saviors

25nl 1-15th feb.



25nl&some50nl 15th-28th, dropped to 25nl again after dip at 20-25k



Will move up this month and start getting used to variance ugh

noble007, try moving straight to 100nl, the games aren't really any harder than 50nl and you seem to have the bankroll.

Ok, what the hell, I'll give it a 7buy-in stop loss, keep you posted.

Noble, you've got fucking talent

Some advice:

Don't think that you need to start making moves you dont understand just because the blinds are higher. Play your fundamentally solid game thats working so far for you and make adjustments later when you understand why you are making them.

Good luck man!

definitly do it noble. With your game you will probly never loose 7 buyins at 100nl. Just push through and know that variance will work itself out eventually if you hit any.

Will - thats such a sick number of hands, good job!

Noble - good luck moving up man. Just don't go spewy tilting and making silly plays if things are suddenly more aggressive, and you'll be fine! If I remember correctly, people float more at 100nl. 100nl was one of my hardest levels, I dont really remember why even, I guess I just took a while to get over the hump.

Yeah completely agree with Cocco, from seeing your posts you definetely have potential and you can easily run hot and go into dream mode.

Yeah Noble, I didn't think your posts came from an aspiring 25nler. You don't belong down there. Sweet results though.

yeah go for it. 100nl is really easy, ok every level seems easy when you play higher than it, but still i think the jumps to 200nl and to 400nl are much tougher so I don't see you having any problems at 100nl. gl.

Awesome advice. So many players just going crazy moving up when they'd be just as successful playing their regular game

yeah imo it takes at least 10k hands normally to get over the psychological difference when moving up stakes. like i said this is just my experience.

Hopefully on my way to a perfect flying V soon

Since this is a bit off topic I'll direct you to this post on the PokerEV forum.

Basically the thing is that the SB graph is only available for hands that go to showdown. The real power of the program is in the filters - take a look at spoon's guide to advanced filtering .

I wish I could post a graph but I played less than 3k hands in Feb for just a small profit. I think I need to start another operation to get motivated again. But then our summer here has been great.

Down at 100NL. HU only this month. Didn't remember poker could be this much fun.

Not many hands, just played for around 15h. Got owned by a lucky nit for 8BI before he ran away, but I still had fun the whole session and didn't tilt any.
