I would strongly recommend dropping tables - you will improve so much faster. Even if you feel like 4 is no problem for you and you could even handle more, trust me, it is a problem!

try just two tables, not three, and really try to slow down in your decision making - you won't get any value out of dropping tables if you don't take the extra time you now have to think through your decisions. For example, if you're going to cbet, ask yourself why you're going to do that, and ask yourself why this is definitely better than checking. it's a tedious and sometimes boring process, but it really helps improvement. gl man

Yeh I feel like that is a big problem for me, I always tend to do something without really thinking about it. In fact I dont think I ever used my timebank, which is ***** horrible but I dont really know what I should be thinking about. But I'll try it with 2 tables and see how much my playstyle changes.
Thanks for the advise again!

So another update is here:
This update is from the past 3 days.
Was playing 3 tables for 80% of the time 2 table 10% and 4 tables 10%.
Reason I decided not to play 2 for that long is because I actually got so bored, I started opening unreasonable hands, whih wasnt very +EV.
With 3 tables I felt way more confortable in noticing everything that was going on.
Basically only opened a 4th table when I was tilted. (terrible habit)



Day1 started off insanely well, was up almost 10BI but lost around 3.5 back at the end of the session due to some bad coolers. Day 2 I lost like 6 BI within a 1000 hands mostly due to terrible play on my part and tilt at the end, so I just quit and called it a day. Yesterday I played day 3 where I played really well I feel like just ran far below ev and didnt run well in general but WE.

Btw I havent done any calculations or anything on these new chests but they seem absolutely ***** horrific. Guess I need to become more profitable pre RB haha.

The BR is now sitting at: $838.90

Just hit a fun milestone:



Took me 25 days to get from $80 to $1000

Bigger update coming tonight!

Update day 24+25:
Sorry for not updating last night, but played until way to late and went straight to bed after haha.
So as you could see on the last post I hit the $1k mark which is really nice.
I ran extremely hot in AI situations yesterday. Still pretty nice to have a +10BI day at NL25!



Also when I hit around $1150 I decided to take a shot at 50NL because I was running hotter then the sun. But that went absolutely horrific haha.



Pretty brutal 60 hand shot.
Decided after that to go back to 25NL and will probably try to hit $2k before going to 50NL

Wanted to share some hands aswell but can't get handconverter to work for some reason, so hands will have to wait until the next update.
Also shoutout to Clanty for telling me to drop tables, have been playing ALOT better with 3 tables compared to for!

The bankroll is now sitting at $997.75. (RIP $1k)

Update day 26:
Today I probably had my best day so far this thread.
Also 100% sure I played the best poker I've played in my life, combined with running well is a recipe for succes haha.
Went pretty hard on the volume again, maybe played like 800 hands to many focus wise, but its hard to stop when you have a sick session.



Managed to book a profit of just over 11 BI while running $0,06 over EV .

Some hands of today:

Hand 1:
Preflop: Hero is CO with 7 7
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.60, BTN raises to $1.95, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.35

Flop: ($4.25)J 3 J (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $1.75, Hero calls $1.75

Turn: ($7.75) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $5.75, Hero calls $5.75

River: ($19.25) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $18.50, Hero calls $16.47

Results: $52.19 pot ($2 rake)

BTN showed K 2 and lost (-$25.92 net)
Hero showed 7 7 and won $50.19 ($24.27 net)

Had stats on him that he was crazy aggro. Good result obviously not 100% sure if it's profitable longterm.

Hand 2:
Preflop: Hero is MP with K:diamond K
UTG raises to $0.60, Hero raises to $2, CO calls $2, 3 folds, UTG calls $1.40

Flop: ($6.35) 8 A 9 (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks, CO checks

Turn: ($6.35) 2 (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $2.25, CO calls $2.25, UTG folds

River: ($10.85) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $5.25, Hero calls $5.25

Results: $21.35 pot ($0.96 rake)
Hero showed K K and won $20.39 ($10.89 net)
CO showed Q T and lost (-$9.50 net)

Looking back at it I don't like my turn bet. Regarding the river x/c CO had really high cbet stat so I kind of crossed off any Ax in his range. Which lead me to believe he had alot of missed draws. Don't understad why he would cc a 3bet with Q10 but o well haha.

Hand 3:

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A K
Hero raises to $0.60, 2 folds, BTN raises to $2.15, SB calls $2.05, BB folds, Hero raises to $7, BTN calls $4.85, SB raises to $24.25 and is all-in, Hero raises to $25.69 and is all-in, BTN calls $18.69

Flop: ($75.88) 9 Q 5 (3 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: ($75.88) 2 (3 players, 2 are all-in)
River: ($75.88) Q (3 players, 2 are all-in)

Results: $75.88 pot ($2.00 rake)
BTN showed K A and won $1.44 (-$24.25 net)
SB showed 9 A and won $71 ($46.75 net)
Hero showed A K and won $1.44 (-$24.25 net)

Just LOL .

Hand 4:
Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8 7
Hero raises to $0.60, MP folds, CO raises to $2, 3 folds, Hero calls $1.40

Flop: ($4.35) T K 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1.37, Hero raises to $4.50, CO calls $3.13

Turn: ($13.35) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $6, CO calls $6

River: ($25.35) J (2 players)
Hero bets $12.85 and is all-in, CO folds

Not sure about this hand, let me know what you think

The bankroll is now sitting at: $1293.90

Hope you guys are enjoying the thread, at least I enjoy making updates.

Thanks man.
I think my flop raise was marginal, but the runout was pretty ideal to bluff haha. I think NL50 has some more bluff shoves, because nl25 is nitty as **** lol.

Update day 27:
Just played my first bad day in a while...
Luckily ran above EV to save it a bit.



As you could see by the big ups and downs I played some 50NL again. Still need to find a strategy to be more succesful there. Hopefully I can adjust to them soon.
Also got flush over flush twice in the last 50 hands. But not gonna ***** about that.
Just part of poker.

Also had one fun thing that happened today.


The biggest chest reward I've had so far

The bankroll is sitting at: $1305.00

Still higher then yesterday

I'm back tomorrow with a new update!

Update day 28:
Today was a completely insane day. Most exhausting day of poker ever imo.
Probably also because it was like 14 hours long LOL.
The swings were also pretty rough, getting adjusted to the 50NL swings isnt easy when I was playing 10nl like 2 weeks ago haha.
Pretty happy with myself that I pulled myself together after losing like 7 BI due to coolers and insane monkey tilt. Went for a run outside to clear my mind and **** and after that I played an incredible amount better again.
I do however regret the fact that I did'nt recognise the tilt earlier

Update day 29:
Played alot of volume again today, mainly because I'm just really enjoying 50NL atm.
Results are pretty good aswell so thats always nice
Only thing I still need to get used to is playing $100 pots like 30 times a day, sometimes in my mind I go like wtf this is actually a large amount of money. But I like the thrill!
I also noticed that since I started playing 3 tables my redline is so much better than before, hopefully that is because I'm making alot less autopilot misstakes then I made while 4 tabling. But time will tell about that statement.

Graph of the day:

Whats your reasoning for calling that last hand when villain overbet shoves river on a 4 card flush board. Unless you have some sick note he bluffs this texture with triples seems like a clear cut fold to me I'd be using all my diamonds as bluff catchers not 9x. But tell me something different if I'm missing something

Update day 30+31:

Here is the update for the past 2 days. Think i played OK for the most part, but definitely not my a-game.. Was up alot of money today but ended up losing like 8 BI in around 1000 hands. Mainly to misfortune but it still sucks..
Overall i was still up like $400-450 for the day. However yesterday I lost around the same amount.



This was pretty cool aswell, not sure how rare it is:



The bankroll is currently at: $1803.97.

However I did hit a $50 rake reward again. Guess thats where all the luck is going towards haha!
