Hello...this is my first post in these forums, Ive been playing SH limit Hold'em for several years as an exclusive source of income. I have also been very successful playing NL live both 1-2 and 2-5 and play several sessions a week.
I began playing many years ago and after some success live tried nl100 on stars...I was probably a boarderline break-even player, however i had serious control issues and did not know how to deal with a loss for the day however small, i would continue to tilt and spew up much more than my original loss. this cycle went on for some time before i finally donked off the remainder of my account on a massive tilt of nl200. Henceforth Ive made a limited few halfhearted attempts to start playing nl100 again on this act and never commited the $ or time to account for more than a little shortlived amusement.
Fastforward 2 years, Ive switched sites and other than live I multitable SH limit on 8-12 tables exclusively. Im happy with my results but I dont get the same satisfaction from limit. My past failure on PS continues to plague me and the account itself has turned into somewhat of a nasty scar reminding me of my failure. PTR has my PS act at -5502$ over a paltry 7262 hands... this is a little misleading since just under 2k of it was SnG winnings that i coughed up and a massive portion was donked off in one super tilt day of nl200. All the same I consider myself out about 3k over the history of this account.
I now feel that Ive overcome the issues that held me back in the past at nl100 and want to challenge myself to redeem this tattered act. On Jan 1st I will be depositing a min of $3000 into this account and shifting all of my efforts into playing nl100, more specifically I will be 2 tabling SHnl100 and work my way up in table #s as comfortable...
My short term goal is to make back the $3000 im out on the act within the first month of play (by the end of Jan) with my longer term goal should i find success being to switch to playing NL100 on Stars as my main focus and grinding like a madman. The reason Im starting this thread now rather than Jan is I would prefer to fund the 3k exclusively through my live 1-2 winnings this month (dec) which are currently +$570, if I come up short Ill supplement from my Limit roll or elsewhere and if i come out ahead the extra $ will be added to the 3k at the time of deposit. In other words this thread will keep a tally of my live play progress and perhaps the occasional hand analysis if something particularly interesting happens and then on Jan 1st transition entirely into my goals/challenge of nl100 on pokerstars...I hope you enjoy following my progress and being a strong believer in honest reporting I assure you I will accuratly report my results even if disgustingly bad
. In all honesty this thread will get much more exciting and content filled starting Jan as I track my online play on here, however I wanted to start it now to motivate myself to stick to my plans ect.
here is a pic of my nasty graph via PTR to kick things off ...
...also while tracking online progress Ill be using data from my HUD not PTR.
