This blog is really just for myself to keep track of results which I will update every day with #hands played and $ won/lost.

brm is minumum 10 buyins, if I drop to 9½ buyins during a shot i must move down immediatly.
After spewing 500$ in the wcoop putting me 500$ behind of where i should be climbing the ladder i've decided to BAN myself from stars tourneys (yes they have such a function).

I started a little week ago with two buyins for nl50 (since i can't move down below nl50 this was fine!)

Im currently on the edge of moving to 100nl with a roll of $966

I pretty much started the blog since i had to take a break because i lost 4 buyins to a fish on nl50 ruining my 100nl shot >.<

When playing I'll use a 2 buyin stoploss and by stop i mean take a 20 minute break, which seems like a brilliant plan when playing HU

ok that's the rant, cya

Thanks for the support everyone :heart:

Today i got a decent volume in despite school from 8-17.

I won two buyins on nl50 pretty fast allowing me to mix a few shots at nl100 in but i think i ended nl100 pretty much breakeven or maybe up 150$ maximum.

meanwhile on nl50 things were going great

Hands: 950
Result: 456$

Bankroll: 1422$

Tomorrow i'll probably still have one nl100 table open and one nl50 (max is one table per limit). but eventually i'll start playing only nl100.

Hero raises to $1.50, Emp09 raises to $5, Hero calls $3.50

10:club: 9:spade:

Hero wins $262.65 (net +$102.35)

Emp09 lost $102.85

On river i had to time down to consider if he was even calling enough for it to be profitable to shove (pretty scared of KJ AQ QT), but seeing how tilted he was i think it's perfectly fine :f_biggrin:


sick I imagine there was a rage-quit from someone afterwards

We had a pretty crazy dynamic with floating in 3bet pots so i think he would be able to c/c all his queens and better just to catch a bluff. But then again he's a donk so most of the time he probably raise it...

thanks johny :)

today i played a bit in class and ended up around +300$

roll: 1230$

I hope i'll start pwning 100nl the next days because i hate moving up/down not feeling like im going anywhere

on a sidenote i think I'll be #1 50nl grinder on pokertableratings for the 2nd week in september

im up around 1,8-2k on 50nl in the last 9-10 days and it seems like 1300$ is the norm for getting 1st place for single weeks.
