Ch@0tic's Stars Journey from 25nl to HSNL Ch@0tic's Stars Journey from 25nl to HSNL

Hi all,

Over the past 3-4 months iv been playing micros on smaller sites with decent results. I want to take things more seriously and give it everything iv got at reaching mid stakes and higher on Stars.

Just finished my first session. I dont play many tables as I am trying to work on my game and focus rather than mashing buttons.



My stats and hours



Some hands from today

                                  There are some really -EV plays on those hands. Especially preflop. Flatting 98o to a 3bet is really bad, for example.

                                  Flatting a min 3b vs whale IP all day there long there.

                                  It would be more productive if you could provide some sort of explanation/analysis for your reasoning instead of saying things are really bad.

                                      Played A game today despite sleeping for about four hours. Lately I have been finding it hard to sleep well, not sure what the problem is. I go to bed about the same time every night, just hard to fall asleep sometimes.

                                      4.5 hours of play and 1.5 hours of study.
