Last Single Table Session!

...and I lost 2 buyins :(

I played 955 hands single tabling 25nl 4max tables and took down a little over FIVE WHOLE BUYINS! I'm happy bout it, ran well in beginning and horrible at the end (why I didn't feel like playing the last 45 hands) which is a nice change imo.

Tomorrow I should start 2 tabling 25nl 4max for 2k hands and if I'm as comfortable with the game as I am now I'll move up and crush 50nl so I can move up again and grind 100nl. So.. 2 tabling 100nl 4max is my goal.

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:

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 :)

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.
