Thanks all

Played a NL100 session just now and ran hot, won $183 in just over 500 hands even though I was -$30 EV

Pretty sure this guy was the biggest fish I have ever played, so for those of you wanting to move to NL100, don't be afraid, lots of fish there. After this hand he reloaded and lost another $100 in 1 orbit, then reloaded again

Found a rival for the guy in my last post

This guy lost $238 in 2 orbits, I put UTG+2 on QJ exactly, he would never check raise KT/T9 v the fish, so I just flatted to let him in, pretty sweet turn card to triple up on

Up almost $400 for the day now, not bad for 2 hours work

Sigh... i want that so bad
$183 is still €144, if only i made that much today or tomorrow... That's 2 days of work for me.


btw: "So today i deposited $500 and my aim is $5k by the end of August. This includes rakeback + any bonuses. Not sure how realistic this is, but i wont be dissapointed if I make 3 or 4k."

gz again on making 3k, gz on making 4k and gz on being at 100NL and getting 5k soon.

Ty, very happy with my progress over the summer, just a case of playing a little bit every day. Hopefully I can make the 5k. On 4.4k at the moment.

Great work dude, keep it up

Ty again, played a little NL50 earlier and won about $70, played a very short session just now and the heater continues with thanks to all the fish at NL100, won another $100

You're doing damn nice, you might even hit 6-7k if you keep this up.

That last hand does suck tho
With my luck i'd have some idiot calling my river bet with K5o
As played i'd think it was just a fish hoping to hit his diamond flush and even a $20 bet would have made him fold.

Yeah most of his range was missed straight or flush draws but I shoved just in case he had AX flush draw.

Strange as it sounds NL100 is easier then NL50, I had heard people say this around but it's 100% true, there are way more fish at NL100, and the regs aren't any better.

Played a seesion now and didn't do great, lost a BI, this hand sums up the level of play. Donk calls off 40% of his stack with QJo

...woops...

And donks never call river shoves after calling flop & turn bets with Ax on a paired board where they have two pair? You run so good i'm just jealous.

I'll be at 100NL in a while, either on pokerstars or on ftp (or both preferably). Just need some time and moar hands/money.

Horrible hand but it kinda made me happy to see that even you get unlucky


btw, can you post some stuff?
- graphs per level (and total graph, perhaps with a vertical line painted on it to show the divide between new lvls each time)
- stats per level (and total stats)
- how many hands, hours and table hours you played each level (if it's not already included in your stats)
- your thoughts on each level. how it went for you, how you experienced peoples quality of play, ...

That guy wasn't a donk, I wouldn't have done it if he was

Sure I'll do it in a while when I get some time. Maybe later tonight

Played another short session. +$200 putting me at +$140 for the day

This was v a 13/9 reg with 7% 3bet

A hand from earlier, played it terrible just because I didn't know what to do v this villian, he was playing something like 70/35 and agressive

could you explain your rationale behind these calls?/in what situations can i be doing this? sicks calls btw

Yeah sure

nh lyger with the 33 and keep it up. glad to see you at 100nl too

wow awesome read... i cant imagine myself ever doing something like that atm. was 7% 3b a typo or is that considered high for a large sample?/how many hands would you need to have in your hud to put him on a fairly wide range?

thanks

7% is high for full ring (although this particular hand is short handed, table was breaking), about 4-5% is normal. As i've only started playing NL100 and not got many stats on the regs I only had about 200 hands on the guy but he had 20% resteal from BB so he is obv doing it light. Every decent reg will be.

Not such a hot day today. Down $20 so far, could have been a lot more though...

Also I ordered 5 $26 tokens and only 3 have arrived, does anyone know if this is normal?

Some great folds yet again, looks like some standard runbad.

If you still don't have the tokens and they took the right amount of ftp/iron man points i'd mail support.
So far i always got immediatly what i ordered.

Took a while to arrive but I got them anyway. Might play some $26 matrix tourny with them to make sure I get value out of them.

I don't like the call on the flop in AA vs K10 hand, you obviously letting in fishes in the pot, but do you really want to play aces in a multiway pot

Yes im letting fish in but I am not going to go crazy raising with AA in a 4way pot, the guy in the blind can easily have a set here, so why waste money raising. I can call and evaluate the turn and get away cheap if he continues his aggression. In the end he hits his 1 outer and checks it for some weird reason. I almost folded to 1 bet on the river (prob should have) but figured he could play QQ-JJ, maybe 99 the same way

EDIT: just played 1 matrix tourney and after a horrible start cashed for $38.88. Also up $67 at NL100 and FT gave me a $50 bonus to clear as well. BR now @ $4.9k. 100 bucks to go!

Played another matrix and cashed for $0 Also lost $82 playing cash. Still up almost $1k for the week, which I can safely say is my best week so far by far. Obv ran good as the graph shows.

BR @ $4,830 and 1 week to go....


By LygerWon at 2010-09-02

You triggered the doomswitch!!!! BR @ $0 in 1 week?

What happened in that little downswing?

Haha ye, I shouldn't have said I was so close!

Nothing major, just lost every 3bet pot, missing with AKs, overcards hitting with QQ etc etc.
