Bankroll high/low volume

Well since my last post ive not played that much poker, kept grinding the 2/180s but only managing no more than 8 a day so I can hardly call it grinding. Been mixing in the 3/180 rebuys. So close to shipping one. Was HU and after 10mins of raises,3bets and shoves, I had the villan covered and Held JJ. anyway HH below.

Anyways Im just going to try and play more, because Im going on hols the 1st of may for a week to somewhere hot and I might have to dip into my poker funds to afford it.

Cash game stats

Pokertracker 3 updated their software to allow the old cryptologic hands to be stored in the database, ive been waiting for this for quite some time. So Since I started playing cash, Ive got all my 10nl career in PT3. Anyway heres my stats: any comments would be nice.





Think I need to just accept that im going to be playing cash and mtts, instead of moaning like my last post and embrace the variance which Ive not properly been hit with yet at 10nl. 20nl and 25nl is a different story but I still hope to move up soon.

fuck off cash again...

meh, ive totally spewed off about $200 playing cash over the past week, bout $100 at rush on FT an $100 on purple lounge after getting off to a great start playing solid Ive just totally fucked up my cash game. was down to my last $50 at Fulltilt so decided to spin that up playing 50nl rush. lost it in my 1st hand with A7, A on flop, villan had AJ which was so fucking obvious. Kind of my biggest set back for a while. At the end of Jan I was nearly touching $1500 bankroll, now its sat at $1135, so ive rounded all my money up and put it all back on stars and im going back to grinding the 180mans. will have to sign up to poker idol some other day tripz dont feel good playing else where other than pstars atm.

maybe cash isnt for me, I dont study nowhere near enough as I should be. just stuck on a skill level which I dont see getting past.

Least with Mtts I might luckbox a decent score someday.

and I aint even doing that well at the 2/180s anymore, my ROI is dropping quite fast, 41% over 1100 games pretty annoying. need to get motivated.

anyway just a rant post, annoyed at myself for losing some of my roll so easily..

rush poker, new phone and lazy blogging

First of all sorry for being so lazy and not updating this blog enough. Will try and do a new post at least once a week from now on.

Since my last post ive still been grinding 10nl with a few shots at 25nl too, and that is still going very well.
Last week I bought a new phone nokia 5800 and I havent stopped fucking about with it since, which means ive hardly played much poker. The poker that I have played as all been on fulltilt's new rush poker. I didnt have any roll on FT so I deposited $40 from my stars account and ran it up to $120 at its highest point. The swings are crazy also tilting like a cock doesnt help.

10nl for January, about 250 hands at 25nl here too


I was all ready to go to the live event at creswell last post but I decided to check the postcode on their forum and noticed a post canceling the event because of the bad weather. Would of been my luck that getting there only to find that it wasnt on.

why are you playing $10nl if you have $1300 in your roll? not a dig just wondering

Im still playing 10nl because most of my roll was made in the 2/180s, im running at 8 PTBB/100 over 40k hands at 10nl I take shots at 25nl sometimes. dont feel as comfortable losing a buyin at 25nl has 10nl, which hopefully I can overcome.

Will do a goals post for feb over the weekend

Bankroll: $1360

january so far...

1st week in jan has been pretty decent for me cash wise, Ive hardly had any volume in the 2/180s, Just been playing 10nl and running hot. Ive got all into cash again, feels so much better learning, reading about cash strategy's theres so much more to the game when, compared with grinding mtts and sngs.



I also think playing the 2/180s and dealing with the redic variance in them has helped me cope at cash, I dont seem as tilty. so we'll see at the end of January how I am for the month and I might move up to 25nl for February.

Anyone thats into cash up to 100nl and more this blog that I found is pretty decent read and very interesting too, is certainly going help me with my game.

I still debating wether to go and play some live pokes tonight, seo from rtr lives not far from me and told me yesterday he goes to the rose and crown pub in creswell most fridays for a £11 torney. with about 20-25 runners. Im still very inexperienced playing live, dont feel totally comfortable yet, hope they dont ask me to deal lol.

will update on progress next week, cyas

2010.............

Well happy newyear all.

Hopefully this year I can improve on what was a decent 2009. It really was my 1st full year taking poker seriously and turning a profit. Most of the monies made where from the 2/180s at stars then about $200 at 10nl, which puts the bankroll at around $1250 for 2010.

10nl:


2/180s:


I'm quite disaponted with how my cash game progressed throughout the year, the first 4 months of last year I was doing really well, then since I found the 2/180s I kinda didnt put as much effort in the cash side. It didnt really help with the redic coolers and beats when I took shots at 25nl Think that put me off playing cash.

Goals for 2010:

Carry on beating the 2/180s
Move upto/take shots the 12/180s by Aug time or 3k bankroll
Find a decent live game to become a regular at to get used to live poker.
Have a $5k bankroll by Jan 2011.

Xmas time, no poker for me!

Well Im off upto my house (that I bought with my fiancee, Just I havent found a job up at durham to move there fulltime) over xmas and newyear so dont think i'll have time to get any poker in. Might be nice to stop playing for a week or so but no doubt i'll be itching to play towards the backend of newyr.

On the poker front. I cashed in the $55 80k gtd syndicate for $83.20. Think I did really well. Had cogs from RTR railing me and teaching me to 3bet shove on the money bubble. (Had ATo on the BB 10bb, bigstack raised from the CO). I ended up shoving KJo with 12bb in the MP2 and losing out to the BB's KK, when calling with 99 a few hands earlier to a 10bb UTG+2 shove would of been a better play. oh well..

The 2/180 prop bet didnt go so well for me, ended up around $40 down over the 100 games, with a total of $165ish cashes, I had around four 4th places finishes which each time I should of come atleast 2nd or 1st. some redic beats.
Well I carried on grinding the 2/180s and they came good again tobad I didnt have the heater in the prop bet. I also just recently started to take more notes after the money bubble bursts. helped me out alot today.

my current 2/180 stats: cracked $1k profit :D



bankroll: $1175
