        played another session tonight. 1000 hands and around $160 profit

        here is my graph since may 14 when i finished college for the summer. my aim is to move up to 100nl+ as soon as possible. iv taken shots before but have run pretty bad lets hope i can turn it around soon. college is back in sept and i also have to live off my winnings so im gonna have to win alot to cover both aspects! iv been at 50nl for nearly 3 years now for that reason

        they are pretty decent, should get better when the split happens cause then the top rooms will be putting full on effort into advertising to attract fish! theres speed poker there too so all in all your options are good!

        ye i start my sessions basically by sitting at aload of empty tables and waiting for action!! iv found throughout my career thats the best way to get recreational players at your table rather than joining waiting lists 10 players long to get on good tables.

        another reason is because i get bored easily if action is too slow. i used to play 12+ tables but was abit robotic and breaking even before rb. iv cut down on tables now and play HU/shorthanded and really pay close attention to reads and handreading! makes for a higher winrate and less variance!

        also looking for opinions on this hand, villian is a reg. im thinking a check call on the turn might be better as i have no fold equity over any ace and that card really hits his range so im gonna get blown off my good draw alot? wat do u guys think?
