sooo I'm moving up to 200NL, br stands at like 5900ish.

it took soooo long to get to where I am at now. just ridiculous downswings and everything.

Plan is to keep moving up stakes so hopefully I'll be at 200NL for like 2-3 weeks and then move up to 400NL.

also I'm using a 5 bi br management rule, meaning if I lose 5 bi at 200NL, then I'll move down to 100NL and then grind that back up.

wish me luck!

villain had AA obv

these are just a couple interesting and noteworthy hands. plenty more but too lazy to post them all

made $700 today. was up $1000 at one point but then lost a couple standard coin flips (like QQ vs AK) and coolers (like KK on Q high and two spade flop, obv he has bottom set).

but whatever. below are the biggest pot I've ever won and another really really really bad hand that I played

Biggest winning hand. tbh I timed out on the flop, and then at that point given the opponent's tendencies, I decided to just cc. turn was just to induce spazz at the time and avoid him checking back and river was def to induce spazz. By that time, the odds were too good to fold and esp against that player, I'm never folding

this hand just sucks for so many reasons. I played it soooooo bad on so many streets. not biggest losing hand obv but definitely the most painful to lose all night because I felt like it wasn't bad luck or anything, it was me playing badly. blah, I know what I should have done differently so I don't really feel discussing too much at this point

made another 800 today. whew upswing baby!

I was running 20 bi below ev til this point for the last 16k hands and it was starting to really annoy me.

at 6900. blah, idk whether I'd be able to make another 3.1k by the 18th but I'll try!

not playing so good recently. couple of very bad suckouts and coolers, but then this perpetuates a cycle of bad play due to tilt.

already 3 days of playing and have dropped nearly 1k.

blah, swings are sick but I seriously am going to cut the number of tables I play lol to 2. Usually I play 8 but I need to seriously re-evaluate my game and get my mind focused on playing well, not on the results.

looks like I'm going to have to give up my goal, but I'm still going to post in this thread I guess to keep a status update on where I am going.

I played a little nl hu cash, and I'm going to say that most people at the 100nl level are SUCH bumhunters. man, I was turned down 4 times by ppl who didn't want to play me and asked me to leave and also quitted early b/c they thought that I wasn't fishy enough for them...

it's frustrating because you just have to think that if you want to get better, you need to play with good players who challenge you. but apparently that isn't a concern for most ppl, I guess. not to say that bumhunting doesn't have its moments (i.e. downswing), but for the most part, ppl shouldn't be a b*tch ass bumhunter. anyways, enough of that rant, here's a couple of sick hands.
