Anyway, this is a fun experiment and i'm back up to -70 in the last 400 hands.
400 more hands or so and i'm back to breakeven for the day
I had 2.5 BI's when i started this btw, when i was up for the day i was at 10BI's. The swings aren't that bad if you play with a bit of self control.
It's when you start screwing up that graphs go up and down like crazy.

OOOOOOKAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
why can't i always just play like this? stupid fish that i am ffs...
I basically made $150 in 700 hands... that's 43ptbb, wow just wow.
See the graph below to laugh at my fishyness
I played anywhere between 1-7 tables. When my BR was at it's end i started 1 tabling and i build it up again as my BR allowed.
Mega monster session helped me unlock $30 of my bonus (and i'll be getting $24 rakeback from this session as well)
Time played: 11.35h (39.45 table hours)
Hands: 3164
Profit: $11.32
0.72 ptbb/100
Total profit: $157.67
5.6 ptbb/100
total rakeback/bonus: $50
Total WR: 7.37 ptbb/100
Total BR: $275.00
Total hands: 5632
graph for the day
It's way too late and i played way too many great and bad pots to put them here.
I did mark some hands for review but those will be posted later if i still need help with them.
I'm just glad that i'm back in the green for the day.

Sigh... i keep screwing up...
Ran my $77 profit into the ground to like $5 in 100 hands...
Mostly because of headsup play but there's some really really dumb moves in there as well.
Funniest was losing a buyin with AKo vs A5s with him having hit the 5
I got $20 in bonus more tho, wooohooooo!

my tale so far.
BRM:
none to agressive
Games:
holdem full ring up to 50NL (where i busted my BR), SNG's up to $5's, MTT's up to $2 and -3BI's of 50NL HU
My results:
Crap to decent.
- In MTT's i seem to have been mostly lacking the discipline to keep my stack intact untill after the bubble. I've cashed a couple of times and my biggest score was $250'ish in a $1 tourney.
- SNG's i've always done pretty decently.
- Cash i'm decent enough although i used to get stacked by sets every 5 minutes and my showdown winnings are below my non showdown winnings.
I've improved a lot but now i seem to be lacking a ton of value on the river (mostly betting too big)
- In rush cash i seem to get crushed in showdown pots so for now i'm not playing that anymore
My lessons:
- Stay away from MTT's unless you're completely calm and sure you can play 6h+ uninterrupted.
- Play some SNG's every now since i've always been a winner in these.
- Try to get more value in cash games from my big hands and stop bluffing vs passive people.
My goals:
realistic short term:
[ ] $500 on FTP
[ ] $100 on pokerstars
[ ] learn and crush some PLO games
long term:
[ ] get to 100NL on FTP
[ ] get to 100NL on stars
bonus points for:
[ ] get some discipline and use decent BRM
[ ] stop stacking off like a braindead squirrel
My tools/method:
On FTP i had $17.58 left after a horrible week at 5NL rush. I then cashed in the 50k madness freeroll for $50. and after playing a bit today (+$40.11, 14ptbb) i'm now starting out with $107.69
And i'll be playing 25NL, if i at any point drop to $50 i'm back to grinding 2NL/SNG's
On pokerstars i ****ed up a bit with playing tourneys and my roll there is back at $27.32
Here i'll be playing 2NL and if i get bored enough i'm going to take a very early shot at 5NL.
Untill the end of the month i'll probably be playing only FTP to get as much out of my $100 bonus as possible
oh yeah, in before busto
edit:
just so i don't forget it later on.

You do owe me a link to your thread in here then
And perhaps a link in your thread to mine
Are you willing to pay that price

Still going strong in 25NL. About to start my last session and if i make $63 i'll be opening up 1 50NL table.
If i lose 2 BI's there, i'll close the table and keep playing 25NL untill i've got $500+ again.
I've got a bit of a mental block because i don't want to donk off todays profit tho (like i did earlier
)

What a day, what a day.
I seriously have a problem after i get back from a session break. I always lose 1-2 or even more buyins before i get back up.
Mostly because of 3 barreling, 1 bad beat or so, some more barreling, then stealing too much, calling 3bets too much, just everything that you shouldn't be doing. AKA: bad play
Got $2.2 rakeback from last week and got $57 more incoming next friday atm.
Time played: 7.28h (35.98 table hours)
Hands: 2613
Profit: $244.32
18.7 ptbb/100
Total profit: $401.99
9.75 ptbb/100
total rakeback/bonus: $82.2
Total WR: 11.74 ptbb/100
Total BR: $551.54
Total hands: 8245
graph for the day
You can clearly see where i took breaks
I might just be the worst winning player in the world...

At least you have found a problem area and now can work on it.

Todays session was a cool one too
First hour +75, break
Then back down to 0 and back up to +140, break
Then back down to +40 and back up to +240, break
I'm considering into stepping over to 50NL tonight or i might do it tomorrow. Not sure yet.

SOOOOOOOOOOO
As usual when i play bad, i take a little break and everything is just fine again.
I thought about it, looked at what i was doing wrong, slapped myself in the face and adjusted.
Just made about $400 playing HU... Bringing my 50NL HU total for the day at 1903 hands earning $225.35
And enough to also compensate for my 50NL FR losses.
Bringing the day total to +$35.84 in 12.98hrs at an amazing 2.26ptbb
My graph is a big jojo and i'm off to bed now
I also played free the last 2 parts of my $100 bonus so that's an extra $20 for the day.
For today i should also be getting about $40.90 rakeback. so overall not a bad day i'd say (except for the swings, but i learned from them)
Playing underrolled certainly isn't for people who are easily scared. And this is now the 2nd time i've almost gone bust (had only about $250 left in my account before this miracle).
sick graph:
That big jump up around hand 1600 is when i first adjusted to HU play vs a donk. First got stacks about even, then stacked him for the rest.
It's funny to see someone call off 3BI's with TPGK
BR now at $636.58
Total winrate has dropped a bit to 7.91ptbb
got $102.2 bonus+rakeback
and so far i've got $100 more rakeback incoming.

Fish like me?
Everytime i go on a downswing i feel like the most idiotic player ever, and at that point i probably am.
Then i crush the FR game or yesterday i crushed a guy HU and i feel so incredibly awesome...
This looks like me when i win another buyin from some guy.

sigh... again i suck.
It might be HU variance, but i know for sure that some of what i did in the last hour really sucks... I need to stay in the kiddy pool for shallow stacks for now. I need to become a hit and runner it seems
soooooo, was down to -9BI's at one point, ran it back up to -2BI aaaaaaand then the idiotness began. I got seriously hurt at showdown tho. My play itself wasn't too aggressive or anything like before, i just need to learn some better pot control instead of doing crazy stuff.
-$421.75 today over 2489 hands in 5.7h...
-16.94ptbb or a very expensive -$73.99/hour
Anyways, it's back to 25NL grinding for me, for real this time
BR is at $214.83, so that's ok to grind 25NL for me.
Dumb plays make me a sad clown, and my BR even sadder.
50NL... I'll be back... Probably sooner rather then later because of shot taking now that i know you.

Doing ok at 25NL again at a decent 17ptbb after 329 hands.
Started out a bit bad swinging down to -$15 twice after some stupid moves. Cimbled back up pretty quick tho.
Was at +$30, then lost vs a 50bb shortstack with AK < 77. I hit a king, he a set. meh, happens.
I'm at +$28 again so i'm fine
Now to get some hands in and run my BR up again to $500
edit:
Sigh, moments after i typed this i ran my TPTK into another overpair from a shortstack. lost 40bb.
I'm still at +$28 today

update:
1421 hands in (3.67hr, 19.83table hours), +70.21, 9.88ptbb
might call it quits, might continue... we'll see.
had some horrible horrible bad beats.
Worst was when i lost a buyin to a guy raise-shoving the turn into my nut straight with gutshot+two overs (which were drawing dead).
He rivered a 3 outer for the nutter straight. FML.
Won some nice pots from donks like him too tho (i stacked him later on).
Anyway, standard stuff, i played good imo tho and i'm pretty devastatingly honest in that aspect (see my 50NL HU work )
