Here's My Graph

I have played 691 out of my planned 1000 hands of single tabling the 25nl 4max tables and it has been going pretty smooth. After I play 1000 hands I'm going to see how well I do 2 tabling the 4max tables. I'm used to 2 tabling heads up so I'm sure it won't be a problem but the 1000 hands is to adjust to the new game.

here's another funny hand from earlier today:

72s ftw

even when running well hands like these still happen :(

Changed My Mind...

I recently tried grinding the $50-$80 husngs but because of the lack of action I was getting I have been thinking of switching to yet another game.

A couple days ago my Uncle Paul visited and brought Christmas gifts! He gave me a very good poker book, Harrington on Online Cash Games. It's focused on 6max NL Holdem cash games. So I figured it was a good enough sign and started playing 6max games at .10/.25

I started crushing these limits with a huge (unsustainable) winrate over a few hundred hands. I was obviously running well but I think my postflop edge against these players is pretty big also.

Even running well I wasn't winning as much as I wanted so I looked at 50nl. Most of the action is drawn to the bad beat jackpot tables they have at these limits so I'm hesitant to start grinding the few non jackpot tables. Instead I saw the 4max tables I almost forgot about. I checked and there are no jackpot tables for these types of games so the action is packed into a few number of tables.

Sooo... I have been practicing at the .10/.25 4-max tables (single tabling) and I plan on playing a thousand or two before I add another table so I can start multitable these and then move up to 50nl and 100nl when I get better and hopefully a bigger bankroll.

Oh, here's a taste of how juicy the games are so far :)

zzz

horribly slow day for poker. i was sitting at the 50s for about an hour and only had one person sit me and ended up sucking out vs my two pair with his 2nd pair. i'm taking a break and will try to play more around 6pm when hopefully the action is better.

Back to the Grind

I'm actually feeling excited about grinding the $50+ husngs again after trying out hucash last year. I woke up later than I wanted so I missed out on bonus points in cereus at 1pm-4pm (i think) so I'll try to start playing during those bonus hours in the future.

My session didn't start off too well. I decided to play 2 tables of $20s to warm up and actually sat nerdrage who is a poster on 2p2. It was a quick game where I got it in with a better flush draw than his OESD+FD combo draw but he binked his straight even tho I had a blocker to it :( I then started sitting the 50s and someone named misdaisy or something started sitting me and godmoding me. we ended up playing 6 games and she/he won 5. He was a little spewy but difficult to play against when I couldn't catch any cards. Def good practice. I then won my other 3 $50s against a reg and rec player (i assume). 1-1 in the $20s, and 4-5 in $50s.

Time for a break, hopefully my stamina improves I need to play more than 9 games a session :)

New Year, New Look

Happy New Year! Changed the blog around a bit to look nicer imo.

Starting Monday I'm planning on putting in a ton of volume. I hope to play mostly $50 reg speeds through the $80s. I have been slacking in poker for the past few months just playing for fun mostly but now it's time to work. :)
