Ive been grinding 10nl for some months now and been building a decent bankroll and Im now moving up to 25 nl. Im hoping to reach 100nl by the end of the year, I know its a bit ambitous but I like to set big goals. Im going to use this thread as motivation. I'm going to post some fun HH and graphs along the way.

Wish me GL

May 2017 graph

Nice winrate! Whats the biggest difference between the 10nlz and 25nlz pool?

Thanks mate (small sample tho)
I havent played that much 25 nl, only 2500 hands this month so its hard to say. So far havent seen any big differences in tendencies between player pools, but a lot less "fun" players in 25nl ofc.

My biggest pot ever won, from this month







A sick hand at 16 nl, missplayed this one, not used to 3-way pots.

gl keep on killin it mate

Been working on my redline lately.

Snap call







My final May graph

Nice graph, reads on V? if not I'm so confused, regardless I'm pretty confused

Sick hand and the worst call in history by UTG

Thanks confused by my graph or how I played the hand?

The hand not just you V as well

Didnt have any reads on opponent. Ace high is pretty strong here. He bets full pot on turn, his value is J or maybe good 8, and theres alot of draws that he can have. When the river is a complete brick Ace high is a standard call for me. Its pretty high up in my range aswell

His bluff is a pretty good one in my opinion

Havent had time to do any updates (or play poker for that matter), lifes been crazy. Been running pretty bad when it comes to flips this month but feel really strong about my game. Heres some interesting hands for ya from todays small 10nl session
(HH conv, not working for me right now)


Turned 44 into a bluff on the river that won me the whole pot. Kinda weird but like my play.

Havent played much but this is my graph so far for June. Been running pretty bad, running into the nuts everytime I bluff and stuff. Made some mistakes too. Its a bit tough dealing with losing 100 dollars in a session, not used to 25nl yet.

Long time no see

Have had a pretty bad month, Playing both 10nl and 25 nl. Running really bad and playing kinda bad too.

Not the greatest month, ran really bad, mostly played B game. Sucks to run bad when you move up in stakes everyone seems really bad, I dont feel like im getting crushed, just running really bad (and getting owned by fish).

Been doing good the last couple of days, changed some things in my game, did some really spewie stuff that were just bad. I´ve been playing some omaha too, just for fun and did really good.

Some hands


Vs an agro rec. Preflop call is really loose but he´s really bad so thought if I flopped a Jack I would stack him.

Im thinking of moving my roll to other sites. I've only been playing on pokerstars until now but made some calculations on the new rakeback system and its just terrible. If i calculated correctly, I have to pay 6.75 $ to be rewarded a blue chest. And the mean value of a blue chest is 40 cents. Rakeback through blue chests is less than 3%. It's insane.

they are killing the game. hate it too

good luck on the grind

Withdrew most of my roll from Pokerstars, you gotta draw a line somewhere!
Thx
