I've played poker seriously for about 9 months now. During that time I've won around $4.900 in tournaments and $2.500 in cash games, all micro stakes up to nl100.

Bad br management (not poker related, had to pay for some bills and buy some stuff) have left me with $70 on poker account, so agressive brm in the beginning but 30 buy-ins needed for the next level to move up. So the first goal is to hit $750 and take a shot at nl25. Will also play some big field tournaments for poker points.

Will be updating daily/couple of times week.

Results for the first 9 days:

BR: $311.22
profit: $209 cash games, $30 bonus.

Can't post hands because the flopturnriver hand converter won't recognize the hand history format from Ultimate Bet. If anyone can help with that it would be great.

Graph of hands played so far:

nice work, you shouldn't play on ub tho

why not? I've seen a lot of negative feedback on UB but so far it looks solid, rakeback + bonuses + points pay entry for tournies is at least on par with other sites.

there's the superuser scandal but are there any other reasons why a low stakes player should be worried ?

and thanks

At the NL50 level you'll have problems trying to find action that's not at the BBJ tables.

(and BBJ tables are bad because it rakes 50c on each hand that you win and it doesn't go to rakeback)

You shouldn't play on UB because they don't give a **** about your security, recently there was another UB scandal (and absolute poker, same owner) where they found out they could hack your account using a normal windows calculator. The world would be better without UB

sunday went pretty well poker wise, finished the day with a $71 in profit.

if this good run continues I might be playing NL25 next week, rakeback from last month will also be paid out on the 18th so this will add $95 to my bankroll.

yeah looked into it and really glad the right people found the security hole not someone who would have abused that. think of all the money you could make knowing someones cards, wow.

UB recently had an update and they probably fixed it but the fact that the security risk was there for so long is kinda bad for their reputation indeed.

I'll just keep on there until I have a roll for NL50 then maybe switch sites, but so far, so good.

wine + poker is good but tables weren't as good as on weekends so I didnt win as much but +2.8 buyins makes the microgrinder smile.

over the 25k hands played so far ive had a winrate of 14.67bb/100. feels gooood.

Damnit, I just had my worst day today losing ten buyins at NL10. How agressive do you play? Bluff often?

ABC poker at lower stakes, no reason to bluff fish that don't know where the fold button is.

BAEVentures

22.3/17.2/5.9 agg 3.34. and dont know what you mean by bluffing, guess i dont. i do ship it on flop when i have sd+fd thats usually 35-53% equity anyway so yeah, say yes to semi bluffs because you can show a lot of strenght playing these hands and every time you get them to fold its +++ev but when they call its 0EV probably.

I 2 barrel the draws and fold when i get raised on turn and don't have the odds to call. i dont give much respect to implied odds also. usually just leads to -ev calls and not getting paid (enough) when I hit the hand.

my cbet is 66% so i don't fire every flop. I play very aggressively against shortstackers but going for showdown value against full stacks.

maybe you can PM or post your stats in this topic. who knows what good might come of this. yeah so share your stats and lets see.

GL.

Very interesting progress Funkme,

Could you include the time you spend playing poker in your analysis also, that would be of great interest.

How long on average would you say you play on weekdays/weekends?

Thanks very much,

Komb

on weekdays i play 2-4 hours, on weekends its different but around 3-12 hours a day. i used to play like 8 hours non stop but that didnt work out too well and now i take a break every 1.5 hours or so.

and i dont force myself to "grind", that also has not worked out well in the past, I just play when I feel I can play my best and watch tv or go out when i don't. small stuff but i believe its +ev.

played 3 hu sngs on today, 2 wins and 1 loss. also had $7 left on one euro site and gambled it up to $100 and cashed that one out because im going to focus my play on one site to get the next level on the bonus system so i need to keep generating rake on 1 site only.

BR: $521.24
