Pretty swingy last couple of days up and down 5 buy ins back and forth a couple times. But I have been playing like a maniac and trying out some new things.

I played some very dumb, but amusing hands. I'll post later. I got it in w/ a gutshot vs 2 sets on the flop in a 3bet pot I had no business in. Sometimes you just gotta have fun. I'm sure the table was quite sad when I left.

Hero is HJ w/ $233.60 and has 88
Villain 1 is CO w/ $202.71 and has T3
Villain 2 is Button w/ $410.96 and has 54

PF:
Hero opens to $6, Villain 1 and 2 call.

Flop($21): 8 4 8
Hero bets $6, both call

Turn($39): 5
Hero bets $2, V1 raises to $4, V2 raises to $14, Hero calls, V1 calls

River($81): 6
Hero checks, V1 checks, V2 bets $27, Hero shoves, V1 calls, V2 folds. yay

Moved up to where they respect my raises.

Is this how you play a 4 bet pot?

3rd time went a little better. Maybe I'll stick around more. Had some interesting hands.

I swear Ignition just wants to tilt the players. How in the world is this hand a chop?

Had a few others, but I want to wait until tomorrow to see what they had.

So sometimes you go for an insane bluff and it doesn't work out lol. I was hoping Ignition being rigged would add some equity.

That 43o had really made me laugh at how stupid I was. Anyways there was another one that did go to showdown thought was interesting.

Villain is CO w/ $1,184.15 and has 75

PF:
Villain opens to $15, folds to Hero who calls

Flop($32): 8 6 5

Hero bets $175, Villain calls

River($562): 2
Hero bets $227.50 and is all-in, Villain calls

Putting a little 4 table tonight.

This should end well.

Things were about to get serious. But he folded.

So this is how you own people at 500nl.

It's a bad thing, but I think I'm getting numb to the stakes at 200nl.
I'm just donking around too much. I'm not losing, but I'm not really gaining ground either.

I'm 4betting like 100% and calling shoves 100% lol. Made for some amusing hands though. I was actually a favorite a couple times, but lost those. But I won the ones where I was a massive dog in classic Ignition fashion.

I think it's kind of insane I'm not down money after playing like this.

Alright I think I need to strap down and concentrate for the rest of this month and play good before I allow myself to move up. Make myself earn it. But mentally I do feel comfortable at 500nl and feel like I could do well there.

Impressed how quickly you've been able to move

Should rethink that 4b sizing

What's your recommendation? I think I'm just like 3xing all over the place.
I actually don't know what's proper. I see everyone else doing a little more than 2x. Almost min.

3bet I'm 4x OOP and 3.5x IP. I think this is ok?

Ok I lied. I'm just going to grind 500nl now
and see how it goes lol.

Well going well so far.

Raises being respected itt

Some people are just so bad. But Ignition bails them out like clockwork everytime. aipf of course when I'm like 20th in chips.

Idk is this good?

Wonder how long I can keep this going.

Time to quit your real job buddy.

Lost a flip. I 3 bet from Sb then bet 3 bet flop.

But got back in short order. No problem.

I guess I'm doing ok still.

Should I just move up to 1knl?

Maybe I'll hit 5k?
