Turning a bankroll of $50 to $500 - Page 2 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I'd prefer not to reveal my online name so its connected with my 2p2 name. I'd tell you in skype or something, I just don't want it posted on a forum. Maybe this is paranoid...

I would be down to join a skype group, I am working on my game so I think that would be helpful.

I'm actually more of a live player. Prior to recently I only played online MTT's. But my live results have been break even the last year, so I'm practicing online to sharpen up my maths skills and experiment with LAG play. I can't say I'm a winning player yet at our stake, even though I'm up a few buy-ins over about 2000 hands.

I'm not insulting you, your doing really well

Like on hand 2 could you ever find the fold with a huge raise like that? I would off maybe folded that hand, but not thinking he has the straight, I would be thinking JJ or QQ.

Your doing well man keep it up

Yea I fold that all the time.

going even last 2 days. Roll is at 137 now :s

This is actually annoying how long its taking to get to 200 or even 150. I just want to get to 10nl already.

Nobody ever said that this was an easy game.

Last hand you posted is a total spew. You have to learn how to play your big hands (AA, KK, QQ) in these levels if you want to move up. Overplaying preflop monsters on the flop, not understanding basic poker math and blaming the inner force (luck, poker gods) are not going to help you here.

Going back on the last hand again it is obvious that you have this "bad feel" with your premium hands lately. Here is what Al Pacino says about "bad feel"

And now good news. You just started. You are yet to rise and fall like never before. And to repeat that at least 3 times. To meet lady Bad Variance. You will question yourself at least once per month, if you aim to become good at this "game". There will be tears, thunders and storms, but if you are strong enough, and truly believe that you are better than those XX% of players, you will succeed. And it will pay off.
