Played my first session of 50nl yesterday and it was a wild one. Was down around $230 but managed to pull it back to down just one buy in. I also played 3 $25 HU SNGs and managed to win 3 of 4 which put us at just under break even down like $4 haha
So not the best start but certainly not the worst. It has been awhile since ive played 50nl i was playing 25nl prior and struggled. I only managed a 3.5bb/100 after about 20k hands when we stopped. 50nl seems a little more predictable than 25nl.
The players at 50nl may be slightly better but it doesn't feel like bingo quite as much as 25nl did or at least not as frequently. Putting someone on a range in 25nl is like eating cereal without milk, pretty much useless.
Played a short session today before i went and played some volleyball and managed to make $116 so it was nice to find myself in the profit so early on
I always prefer to hit the upside of variance first and the down side later, i find it easier to take mentally.
I really wish ignition would allow you to play more tables at reg speed. I'd love to get more volume in but i just don't have the time and really don't wanna play zone. Ive been incorporating 1/3 size bets on flops in 3-bet pots, balancing nutted hands with blank hands (selective textures of course) and am pleasantly surprised at how easlily people are giving up. I think its helping my red line alot, though it is a very very short sample.
Anyhow thats all for now i gotta get to bed early my brother graduates tomorrow at 730am. Wtf kinda **** is that, why so damn early? He get his masters in computer science and is headed over to Adobe in the summer. Fun stuff! Also my sister is getting home from Hong Kong where she has been for the last 18 months on May 5th! Then my older brother gets married in July! Lots of exciting stuff coming in the next few months so im pretty excited.
Catch yall laterz! Of course, i hope the grind treats you with kindess and understanding. Nah Imagine?!?!?!?!?!?
