[Closed] The coming of a bankroll

Hello Julyof4th,

Its good to hear that you are doing well - although I strongly suggest to move to either bigstack or shortstack strategy. 50BB is simply not optimal. Since you have $215 you can infact play BSS - although you should defintely read all the BSS articles first. We also have lots of videos on NL10-25 BSS in the videos section which I can only recommend

Hope to see you posting hands and attending the coachings!

Best regards and good luck at the tables,
SoyCD

Day 4:
A bizarre and maybe a bit fun day, Which started with suffering the mothers of all BAD BEATs. Holding pock rockets and reraising 2 raisers on button, to be called by 1. Flop gives A 9 6 rainbow, and opponent bets the pot (1/4 of his stack). Knowing I floped the monster i raised him to make it 2/3 of his stack to get him pot commited. The fool reraises me all-in and shows 55. Turn and river gives him quad fives, so what can i say.. This in mind i rebuy, and with 2 goals in mind. Cut the losses, and KILL off the villain's stack:)
1 hour later i am above waterlevel, equalled the loss after trapping the same fool with nutflush against 2 pairs.

Still the weirdest hand of the day were still to come...
Sitting on the button again with my rockets i see player 3 raise 3x, player 4 reraises 2x, player 7 reraises 2x, and i reraised 2x. To see all others call.
What can i think but there are monsters all around the table. Flop gives A 2 2, knowing that playing ducks wouldnt made ANY sense, i know i am BIG favorite.
First to speak bets 1/3 of the pot, and with the 2 others to call, i raise 2x. All calls. Turn gives 2. There is no way i can lose this hand. NOBODY plays X 2 after that preflop round. I push all-in after 3 checks, to see all call. Player 3 hold KK. Player 4 hold QQ, and last player shows KK. I can not lose, i am as big favorite as 1 can be... The river gives the last and 4th 2.. making it a split pot...

BR: still $215(shoulda been 350)

Looking forward to keep improving my stack.

(I have still not downloaded grab'em so sorry for not posting the hands.)

Day 5:
Not much to say:) short day "at work"
30 min play

Br: $240

I am glad it is not just me :rolleyes:.
I have witnesses a load of crazy hands lately...
Must be something in the water.

Hehe.. maybe there IS something in the water..;)
but yeah, i know that sometimes things goes like this. And when it does i am just glad i stick to the BRM so that i can take a lot of hits without beeing broke:)
Fortunately i'm still growing my BR while taking beats so i cant really complain can i?:)

Day 6:
What a horrible day. Lost all important pots on river.. Even with AA agaisnt crazy lunatic J4cloves, hitting 5 on river to complete a runner runner str8
A day of big jokes. So crazy that i almost had to scream in anger.. But thats life..
Br: $100

Ouch halved the BR?

Just don't play outside of the BRM - especially not now. But it good to see you see you accepting the variance. Its a part of Poker

Lets hope it goes up in future sessions!

I didnt play outside the BRM just had an extreme bad run, and i just kept gettting monster hands that were beat. and when the players u lose to playes horrible, its hard to leave a table when u get aces, kings big slicks every second hand.

But i guess thats why 1 have BRM to survive that kinda of crap.

Day 7:
Have had a pretty good run at the tables, making the heavy loss last day vanish in the history books. In 1 and a half hour i have made 100$ playing at 6 .05/.10 NL tables at the time. And the difference is just that i dont get beat by riverrats today. the biggest pot so far gave me Net $15 with hitting my kings to give me nut set and a preflop donkey hitting 2 pairs with T4 on a rainbow flop with a total of 8x blind raise preflop. Gotta give it to donks like that.. they are not afraid of anything.

Calling it a day after 3 and a half hours with a nice profit:)

BR: $230

So i am back where i were, and still learning a lot:)
