15.5bb/100

So I have been beating the game pretty bad lateley. Im running at 15.57bb/100 over the last 6k hands. I feel that a lot of it is because of cardrunners.com and 2+2 forums. I spend a lot of time reviewing hands, reading posts, and just trying to educate myself more on the game. It's been paying off pretty nicely. I also feel that my discussioins with an online friend of mine (emf) has really helped me analyze my own game, while helping him review his.

Today I played for about 2.5 hours and ended up 12 dollars (im still grinding 10nl). I quit because on three consecutive hands I had some bad beats which resulted in more then a 40 in potentail winnings. It happens but I usually quit playing for a little while when this happens. I dont want to start tilting or trying to outplay people to get the win back. I found two of the hands, but cant seem to find the other. But I flopped top two pair, and got it in against second pair for about 180bb in both mine and my opponets stack, and he rivered his ace for the better two pair.

So I think the poker gods owe me a sick run of cards when I get back on tonight!! (haha, if only that were true.)

TOUR GETS PUSHED BACK

So I was supposed to leave on the 24th of this month until the 24th of July with my band for a tour but that was pushed back. A christian band that we were going to be touring dropped off and so some of the venues no longer want to host the show because there is not a "christian band" playing. Kind of sucks, but gives me some time to sit at home for a few weeks and do nothing other then hang out with friends and this new lady friend of mine ;).

Poker has been going great lately. After having a 8 buy in downswin at 25nl then cashing out all but 50 of my br to help with tour expenses I dropped to 10nl and have built my br back to $201 in two days. I reveiwed my hands and I may be running hot, but I honestly seem to be playing well. My big hands have been holding up, and I have learned how to extract value out of my hands from the average micro stake players. I have not been getting doubled up left and right, just consitently winning $1-2 pots and building stacks. Its fun and hopefully I will continue to win as much as I am now, and by tour I will have some more money to bring to purchase a tv for the van with.

Cashing out and building it back

So my band is leaving for tour next week and I have decided that I would cash out my bankroll for extra funds while on tour. I left 50 online so that I could keep myself entertained over the next week that I am not working and getting ready for the summer.
But today went well, I am going to be playing 10nl and 1 10 PLO table. I ended up $95 today, which is always fun. I feel like I played really well and hit. Also had some of my bigger hands get paid off by ridiculous things. Oh, small stakes is so fun.


Anyways, I'm off to judo for the night. The final is tonight so wish me luck. Hopefully Ill do good in the vocabulary.

Still Swinging...

So today I put in a little two hour session and ended up down another $60. I've had a few pretty bad beats (kk vs 97s all in preflop, one set over set for stacks). I've been playing four tables so I think Im going to just table select really well and play only 2 untill I figure out why Im not playing consistently anymore. I think Im suffering from FPS (fancy play syndrome) and need to get back to the roots and just play tight, solid abc poker. I'll put in another update tonight, Im going to the DMV to get an ID and then I'll be back to put in some hands. Cross your fingers.

MY BIGGEST LOST TO DATE

So tonight I ended up dropping 108. I took a shot at 50nl and lost $64.00 in 54 hands. Triend to run a bluff on a guy who I thought could fold a pair (guess I gave him too much respect) and had JJ vs AA. O'well, I'll take another shot at 50nl when I have some "disposable funds". Im actually considering just waiting untill I am properly rolled for 50nl before I take my next shot.

About me:

So I decided I was going to type up a little "about me". I havent updated in a while because I've been busy. Its crunchtime. My band is about to go on tour so I've been working a lot of overtime so that I can afford the tour.

My Poker story:

Ive been playing poker for about a year now. I was taught the basics by a good freind of mine. Then I read every post on 2+2 and Cardrunners, read ever book that there is too offer. I've become obsessed with learning more about this game, and learning about more things that are going to help me improve my game.

The friend that taught me to play is named Tim. He used to make a living playing in the casino and the bars around here, winning a few hundred dollars a night untill they realized he was 17... Hes a very smart kid and has a huge potential to be an amazing but recently has lacked an motivation to get on pursueing the game. I started playing online when I first was shown how to play. I made a couple of small deposits and blew them very quickly. My recent run is much different.

I am currently living a Green Plastic story of sorts. This last deposit was a huge $25 that I put on ultimate bet. After 24k hands I had turned that $25 deposit into a roll of $245. Im now playing on FTP and I my roll is now at 608.15. Im beating the game for 9.6BB/100 over 16k hands. Its exciting to see so much improvement in my thought process and overall game in the last three months I've been playing online. I hope I can continue to play smart and keep moving up.

My goals are to have a roll big enought to play 5-10 10-20 online, and play for a living. That would be my dream!!

But Im off to see a movie with some friends.
