Hi all,

I joined pokerstrat in dec 2006 and builded my roll thx to the shortstack strategy

when i was rolled for 25nl i first played full ring but switched pretty quick to 6max. my br went up but not as fast as i would like (a 300$ partycasino trip and some other small tilts can be the reason... :P). The last 3-4 months i just grinded 25nl and some 50nl shots. I've got some good results
and did my first cashout this july(1150$) and cashed again a few days ago(1000$).

I always left enough in my account to play at 25nl 6max. My goal is to play 50nl and maybe some hands at 100nl by the end of this year. I already played 50nl sessions but always had some bad luck or i wasn't playing my best.. that way i got a little uncomfortable with playing this limit. So i always returned to the good old 25nl after a bad session at 50nl.

Sometimes i play some mtt's, not with very big succes; i think i was breakeven or a little -$ untill today when i played the 11$ 4kgtd at partypoker and finishd 2nd and cashed 650$ (we made a deal with 3players left). Maybe it has something to do with the coaching vids i watched from Morgoth in the platinum section ;)

I'm going to grind to 1500$ now and hope i play/run good when i start again with 50nl

That's my online poker career in a few words.

hf&gl at the tables

update 23/11/07

Left partypoker in september and moved to titan. Grinded 10nl/20nl/50nl and some shots at 100nl and i finally have a pretty good roll to play fulltime 50nl/100nl.

I will still play 20nl/50nl to work on my HU game which is pretty poor atm i think. Some articles about HU low stakes would be nice or more HU coaching vids.

Reached diamond status which is pretty cool; I enjoyed watching the 'highstakes' coaching vids and i'm trying to follow more coaching sessions.

My goals for the next months are:

-stop playing PLO
-improve my HU game
-play 50k hands at 100nl

time for a little update :O

i'm not playing anymore on titan or another ps partner so my status is gold now and will keep droppin (booh! give my diamond status back plz :) )

moved my funds to xxx and i'm playing 100nl fulltime SH and HU now.
I'm hoping to reach 200nl at the end of febr or whenever i have 30buyins for the level. I think taking shots with my 20bi roll now wouldn't be a great idea.

My hu game improved a little but i'm still not aggr enough and i stopped playing plo!

oh and i bought a samsung 22inch screen

Nice reading, but don´t you want to climb higher than just NL 50?

isnt cashing out 1000$ like 1-2 months of playing perfect game at NL25?

Hi kexix!

Nice story! Keep us informed about your poker career. What kind of problems did you have when you switched to NL50? Was it just that you felt uncomfortable when you got one or two bad beats? If that is the case I recommend that you don't switch from NL25 to NL50 completely but that you play NL25 and NL50 simultaneously to become comfortable with the new limit. That's what helped me a lot.

Good luck at the tables!

Zeffke, reread his first post. He edits the post each time he updates (usually updates at the bottom)
