What time is best to play for you? It seems like most of the traffic is going on from like midnight to 6 am?

Can't say I've played much at those times but Keith reckons 6AM would be prime time for us.

My HEM2 trial has expired and their sales department are ****ing me around so hopefully I'll have that sorted shortly.

Pretty happy with today's session. Things really started to go my way (or not go villain's way).

No real interesting hands to post. Oh and yes, I sorted out my HEM2 license.

Also received $10 rakeback last night. It isn't much but I guess it all counts right?

Exactly. Although, with holidays as of recent, my sleep cycle is so messed up that I'm waking up at 4AM anyway. Might give a 6AM sesh a shot tomorrow.

Played at about 9:30AM this morning, don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. Managed to almost triple my 5NL winnings to date with today's massive heater.

Repopping with ak there was alright, ur cbet should have been .32 because what kind of pot 3bet gets
followed by half pot bet? As played im checking back turn and c/f river
Ur A9 hand waa confusing as i wasnt sure if u were mp or utg

AA hand id 2/3pot bet otf, check turn, and let weaker hands bet out ott otr

could well have been heading into prime time canada/south american fish with a session at that time. see what i mean about altering the time of day can affect your winnings by playing against a pool of fish rather than predominantly grinders.

red line is still looking good though which makes it easier to show profits without having to overcome the plunging red line.

Pretty swingy session this afternoon.

A couple of coolers that didn't go my way. I did managed to crack AA with KK though, so can't complain. I find I'm losing a bit of cash with pre-flop play on the BTN and in the blinds. People raising from the blinds and me 3-betting because I've got reads on them and that sort of thing. Just struggle at times to know when I should be aggressive pre-flop.

Now that uni's started back, I've dedicated at least 2 hours to poker every single day of the week so I should be getting some more volume in again.

I'd like to shoot for 2 buy-ins minimum for each session at 5NL, though I realise this might even be too much. BlackRain was averaging 5BB/100 for 5NL I believe so I'm really not sure what to expect.

At the end of the day, I'm not terribly concerned with the outcome as long as I'm building my bankroll. If I get the money in good, then I'm happy. If I know where I made mistakes and learn from them, then I'm happy.

2 bis for 800~ hand sessions is pretty unrealistic. I think its impossible to crush for 20+ BB/100 at FR anywhere online

Quite probable. I just remember shooting for $4 profit daily playing 2NL but that's a different game I suppose.

Yea sure is. I reckon 5bb/100 is pretty crushing over a decent sample size

Speaking of crushing, I got absolutely shat on today.

Didn't seem to get much of anything going. My biggest win was $1.82 and my biggest loss (several of them) was over $6. The only time I hit a set was when I had a monster overpair and didn't need it. -_- Yeah sure, probably some poor play but just a crappy day TBH. Will try find some hands to post later.
