Used to play 50nl hu on ftp back before black friday happened. Recently deposited on Merge and started out grinding 25nl and 50nl hu to try to make some extra cash again (broke college student !). I'm pretty awful right now with my play but hopefully this thread will motivate me to post hands and to improve my game over time. 50nl - 200 nl by summer!


1st week or so back in the game graph, obviously running quite well.

Ran B/e after some really bad play on my part last hundred hands or so, but **** happens w/e I need to learn from it.

Hero ????


Had note that saw him play over pair super passively as well, so I feel that shoving the river is gonna make him fold all 10x -K's and he seemed to be pretty nitty so i dont think he will call any weak ax. Idk hand kept running back into my mind thinking i should have shut it down but I feel that a huge % of the time im gonna get folds - top of range hands etc.

Here is graph for the night, guess where guy tilted after shoving into the nuts lol.

after this......I just go spewtastic like a retard and get so pissed off over this and turn day into -500 day. FML was doing so well.

Well after the train wreck that was me spewing at 6 max and hu for a big chunk of my roll, put in a good day today although i had to stop sitting 100nl

Keep at it bro

Well its been a while since I posted, but things have not been going well, I am still crushing the 25nl tables, but my game seems to be drastically different when im playing 50nl. I have for surde been running good at 25 nl no doubt about it but when im playing 50 my play just looks like im scared money or something is different. Had some friends sweat me and help me a bit but bleh i need a serious overhaul of game...

Yep its official I should give up poker - 400 to a reg who opens 100% buttons folds 60% 3 bets and is just ****ing awful and presses pot pot pot .......So ***** bad Kill me now.

Well after degening off some bj to feel better after yesterdays meg tilt session I was rewarded with a little run good today on the tables, moved down to 25nl to be careful and avoid more tilt.

Fix your mental stuff and stop playin 100 till u feel comfy about it and you will crush.

I havent sat 100 since a week ago or so. But I'm just getting destroyed every time I sit 50nl. Obviously ihave some pretty big leaks if im getting crushed so bad by fish.

stay at 25 until you are at least 50BI's for 50nl. You are playing differently at 50nl because you can feel your risk of ruin looming over you.

Well decided to move my roll off of merge since I get no rakeback and that vip system is pretty ****. Moved over to cake like 3 days ago for the rakeback and been grinding 20nl hu on there and got off to a good start today/last night

And new goal its to quit when i start tilting.

Feel like i have my mental aspect of back under better control as of right now, obvious I could blow up again or something. But for now things are going well and even though had - 8 bi day 2 days ago I just need to realize it happens and review my play and and find spots where i can make more money and spew less.
