I just (26th) got back into Poker again after losing my BR about 6 months ago. Money is tight at the minute so put $30 in Stars, lost it within 3 hours playing NL5.

Read up on some old material, put $20 in and started again. Currently on $30 (in 5 days) @ NL5, and I already feel a better player then what I was before, I just feel more well-rounded.

Learnt: Don't play for the sake of it, when it's not going your way just close the game. Don't chase your money back and don't play when tired. (I get up at 4am for work)

Listen, read & review. I'm looking at hands I lost and seeing where I went wrong. Just a case of ironing out creases.
I'm also seeing where i'm winning money and where i'm not and adapting where needed.

Goals for June
[ ] Reach a $100 BR
[ ] Finish top 3 at local casino MTT's.
[ ] Continue to learn and review. Continuous Improvement.
[ ] Have a wild time in Magaluf for a week on the 28th!!


Questions:
Is there any way to see my overall stats in PT3? Basically what I see on my HUD but for all-time?
How do I change my default Alias in PT3? It loads up with my Party account from months ago and I have to manually change it everytime.

GL all.

@Cookie: Would you not be better off playing 2NL? 6 buyins is really short, although it helps that it's replenishable (is that a word?). I know many advocate 40 buyins - although that's probably not necessary at the micros, but at least 15 is probably good.

Technically not June yet but w/e.

50 hands or so of Dugi. Won $50, ran good and started off with a misclick patting a 72A tri OOP in to 2 other drawers. They all check around and I win - not consciously used that move before but it's a keeper.

Played my first Razz tourney, an $11, and busto 21 or so out of 24 with a 76543 v 76532 to leave me short. It got enough runners to make it worthwhile trying to play a few more of these anyway.

1st question, you just click on the Texas Holdem tab, then the General tab, or Details for more, er, detail.
2nd question, on the Texas Holdem tab, near the top where it says "Player: ", "Site: ", click "Settings" and then where it says "My Screen Name" choose "Search" find the screen name you want to use and set it as default.

Lolswongaments for me, pretty much like April.

Was up a ton in the first week, lost it back and some more, won some of it back but not all.

Played pretty much exclusively zoom PLO100 and PLO200 since that started last week, and mid stakes Triple Draw. Oh, and the SCOOPs - PLO/TDL/Badugi/8game - bubbled a couple of the M events, pretty dismal in the others.

Overall am about $1K down on May, after being up around $5K in the first week.

Made platinum star 3 times over, just under 23,000 vpps.

Plan this month is to play 4/5k hands of Razz and start 2 tabling at some point.

Anyone want a small volume prop bet as to whether I can hit 5K razz hands? I'll take $10 for a bit of motivation.

I'm down if no one else is... but how can we confirm razz hands... what kind of tracking systems are out there?

[X] Monster April in holdem- didn't play many non holdem cash games
[X] Crrappy May in holdem- played alot of non holdem games games and crushed them

Goal for June

[ ] Keep my bankroll from beng crushed by life circumstances
[ ] Crush in all games, not just non- holdem games
[ ] Build my bankroll to 1 k
[ ] Be rolled for 25 nl by end of month
[ ] start my bonus whoring career

[LTU Westham]

Last month started playing with profit (yay

In May +$10
Hopefully, in June I will finish Jones' "winning low-limit" and improve my game at 4NL.
So, for June goal is +$20

FPDB tracks razz and other draw games at Stars so I use that.

Although 5k isn't a lot it did take me all month to play 2.2k, so it should be close I think - unless mutlitabling goes really really well. I'm a bit apprehensive about it as I'm still learning razz but ho-hum.

And it will just be cash hands that I track, but I'm going to try and play a few of the $11 MTT's too as they are worth winning if there are enough runners.

Edit: Oh, and what makes it doubly difficult is I didn't touch a drop of alcohol for any hand of razz in May so I'll be looking to do that again too

Oh ****! Alright, I thought I was done with beginner br stuff, but 1 year later, I'm back. I started playing again a little while ago and tried to make a PG&C thread, but that's too much work. This is easier. I have about $500 after I took out $300, built up from $100. Most is on Merge, but I moved a little to Lock. After FTP, I'm not sure about building a roll anymore. But, since I took out my initial deposit along with $200 profit, the rest is gravy. Now I can build again. $500 to $10K. Let's gogogogogog.

Thanks for the advice, i'm going to do this.

1st - Thanks

2nd - I've done that and now and again it reverts back to my Party account, no biggie though I suppose.

Thanks for the help chaps. Sub'd.

Might play some dugi later tho
