Moving up the Micros

Hi noname81,

Good luck with the challenge and use those skills, it's what you spent all that time learning them for! ♠_cool:

Try not to take it personally when someone gets lucky and we'll see you at nl5 very soon.

Best regards,

Mal.

That graph looks nice, not so many hands, but well. As he told you, be patience, when you lose, accept it, dont get tilted, and you ll be playing higher stakes in short time. Nice book you purchased, by the way.

This last session was a great test of my emotions. I had to stop playing. I felt those emotions creeping in. I posted the type of hand that usually sets me off. Basicly the turn card comes and he donks into me. He could have hit his flush with the turn card but at this point I am getting 5.5/1 odds. I also could catch up with a full house.

gl buddy

Thanks

Day 3

I found my self in many situations were I had a flush but the board paired and my opponent hits his full house. One thing I have eliminated from my game is playing big pots with one pair. This was my down fall. I lost a few big pots but I lost with flush and straits.

GL my friend, keep at it!
Don't let the short term varience discourage you

A very wise idea!
Big pots require big hands,

Looking at your graph you can spot the places your flush loses -- the green goes down and the yellow goes up.

Those suck!

Overall its looking good though -- keep it up!

All the best,

I have not been able to play last couple of days. I am having computer problems. I may have to restart my graph if I cant get my Poker Tracker 4 database off my old computer.

Hi, Noname81...
If you need help with moving the database, drop a post in the PokerTracker forum

There is a PokerTracker staff member who monitors it.

Best of luck,
--VS

I ended up creating a new data base. I didn't have much hand history in the old database anyways. I was able to play a few hands over the last couple days.

Day 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a great start to day but fell apart. I turned into a huge fish and gave back a portion of what I won. On top of that variance was working against me near the end of my session. The green line and yellow line are getting closer together.

Day 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

gl in your ascent, you have some great volume and by the looks of things you are crushing nl2. nl5 soon

Sleek looking graph there. Goodluck!

I played 20 000 hands at NL2 and decided I would give NL5 a shot. I am using the exact same strategy I was using in NL2. I will have no problems if I put my huge ego aside and play with the skills I know. For me POKER+EGO=LOOSER.
Sometime I feel I don't put up enough fight but I am winning so I guess it doesn't matter. According to pokertracker leak finder all my numbers are in the correct ranges.

DAY 5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the start of a new NL5 ZOOM Graph. I got my old computer back and did not move Previous Data Base. So fair it is going good in NL5. I have had a lot more swings in NL5 compare to NL2

Day 6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am going to end this thread. I am unable to put any volume in for a couple weeks. I did not want to abandon the thread with out formally ending it. I will be back soon.

Oh that is a shame, it seemed to be going so well to.

Well I hope there is nothing too untoward stopping you and it's just a time management decision, that way (hopefully) we get to see you back in the groove soon?

Best regards,

Mal.
