[Closed] cash game success?

I would really like to see the graph and pokerEV graph of those sessions ♦

Sounds like quite the heater, but congratulations anyway! Very nice

ummm i dont graph my sessions usually a program or nothing like that. but i know how much ive won per day. a lot of it has just been that i have spent the last week only playing online. I normally play atleast 5 days a week live, but sense i got my 50 bonus i have just been online every day but one.

yesterday i played 3/6 limit and made $424 in the day, today I played half 3/6 and half 5/10 and made $260. But i only played for 3 hours today so far, so i am hoping to make it a even $500 today hehe.

well just updating. im still going strong. been doing 240-400$ every day. My bankroll is $4300 right now. ill let yall know when i hit 10k.

Nice going. What limits are you playing right now and what is does your BRM look like?

I somehow never manage to have that many winning days in a row. I always have some kind of down-day that puts me back at breakeven somewhere along the road

Im playing 5/10 10/20 and 15/30 all limit games. I am playing both hold em and omaha 8.

as for br management i just try to never put more then 5-10% of my roll on at once. however if a game looks exceptionally juicey (I.E lots of weak fishy players), or its just a game im 100% I can beat, then I take a small risk and am willing to put a bit more then 10% on the table. But sense I am playing limit what you sit down with isnt nearly as important as the blinds, how many are at the table and whos on your left or right.

One thing I am making sure to do is not play too long unless i feel exceptionally sharp, and i try to take my time in picking the right game to play in. Most of the days I played sense I started where maximum 3 hour sessions. some days I only played 30 mins or less even.

hope this helps lemon

So you usually only play very few tables but concentrate on these very highly? Where did you learn FL? Books, experience?

Im just asking lots of questions since you seem like a very solid player

Thanks lemon, I have worked hard this past year to make myself a better poker player, it is seeming to be paying off :).

I learned FL playing live. I like many players used to only play no limit hold em (which I still do, i just find limit a steadier income). Then one day when I was at the casino I just saw a lot of money on the table at a 4/8 limit game and a lot of the players looked very tired ( it was 3am), so I sat down and gave it a shot, making about 400 in a few hours. After that point I started playing about half no limit and half limit.

Most of my playing style/ skill came strictly from a lot of experience. I however have read about 30% of doyle brunsons super system and about 15% of phil hellmuths book play like the pros, plus theres some good forum posts along the web written by solid players. I learned a lot about position from doyles book, it helped me learn the importance of starting hand choices depending on your position. Phil's book was more a tourny book (and I am a 99% cash game player now) but watching phil's movies and his book definately help you with understanding the importance of stealing pots/ blinds.

I spent a lot of 2007 playing literally thousands of freeroll tournaments online, which for me was a cheap yet effective way of getting a lot of playing experience. When I used to play those I would multi table up to 6 games at once, but now I usually only play a single table, and on the very rare occation I play 2 tables. My main strength in the game is reading my opponents and knowing what they hold, when I multi table I cannot do this very effectively so that is why i now stick to 1 or 2 tables max.

ok i gtg to the gym now cya.

just updating my progress, I am at $7000 now. been about 15 days sense i started.

oh and thanks again PS couldent of got started without you guys :).

You will go broke faster than you can say "variance"

theres always a possibility

not very incuraging though lol...

hi

when u got the 50 free bankroll , did u add to it? or did u start with only the 50?

Seems like ur on a very nice swing at the moment.

keep updating though) nice progress)

I have faith in you Chester, you look like you know what you're doing.

There will have to be sometime when you experience a downswing of some sort though. Be interested to hear about that when it happens.

Unless you are blessed. In any case, keep us posted.

well sometimes I think I get more bad beats then Mike Matusow so i know all about downswings hehe. I just tough them out and keep going. I havent been running overly hot these last three weeks (wish i was lol). Just been playing my cards right, folding when I should, bluffing when I should and just trying to play smart poker.

Once I hit the 30k mark I plan on capping it off there and sticking to the 50/100 limit game. It is at that point also that I plan on begining to make periodic withdrawls. The 50/100 game is great on fulltilt, has tons of dead money, it is also big enough to supply a worthwhile income if played 4-7 days a week.

So hopfully sometime in April I can start grinding the 50/100 atleast thats the plan.

Thanks again for the opportunity guys.
