Background: I've been playing NL2/NL5 heavily for the last ~10 days since receiving my starting capital and have slowly worked my bankroll up to ~$150 and cleared the bonus.
Today I had a good deal of free time and Full Tilt was running an extended "Happy Hour" promotion (you get 3x as many Full Tilt Points as usual during Happy Hour), so I decided that today was an ideal day to grind out a huge session. 8 tables, 6 hours and 5k hands later, this is my PokerEV graph:
Edit: PokerEV, for those who don't know, is a program that imports hands from PokerTracker and calculates your expected value in all-in situations and graphs it alongside your actual winnings in all-in situations. This expected value is graphed as "Sklansky Bucks".
So I ran about 8 buy-ins and change below expectation today in my all-in situations. This doesn't even account for the multiple set-over-set coolers and narrow folds when a player has clearly drawn out on me. Needless to say, I am a little bit demoralized. However, I am pleased because I think I played solid poker throughout the whole session, even after several rather nasty beats that might normally tilt me.
Thank you all for commiserating with me
. Time for a glorious return to NL2, and I hope to see you all back at NL5 in a few days.
