in on new thrad

question: I played about 20k hands at 2NL this month, just grinding, and I fluctuated a bit and didn't make it to 5NL. is it a bad idea to try tourneys? I've been messing around with the lowest limit turbo DoNs and I won a HUSnG today.

Lewis, I think it could be beneficial to add an mtt here an there, Especially if you're already playing a cpl sng's while adding it. You can play tight an slowly build your stack until the bubble and then look for some spots to double up, and if you get knocked out early or before the money it's no big deal, it only costs $1-$3.30.

When I first started playing online I built my roll by playing a ton of DoN's and final tabling a $1.10 mtt. I went from $25 to almost $400 in the first cpl months doing that, playing a very limited time too. I didn't get into playing cash games until Dec. of last year.

Sheep: He was freerolling after that turn card! Yikes!

What's the rush? Keeping crushing until you get to 20BIs for 10NL.
02-25-2010 , 09:36 PM
Up $406 for February. Most of this is 50NL. I'm not exactly crushing. BR over $2,800.

02-25-2010 , 10:36 PM

02-26-2010 , 12:04 AM
just above $2000 for the first time ever

and only 540 more points to go to reach platinum

also for the first time ever

yeah buddy
02-26-2010 , 12:33 AM
gq how the hell can you reach platinum with a $200 BR?

EDIT: Completely misread that, it says $2k!
02-26-2010 , 01:36 AM
i put good money in an account on full tilt

so why do i only play rush poker?

my 'plan' was to grind up a roll there as i seem to have done on stars

now i see they have PLO rush, like i need a faster way to lose more monies
02-26-2010 , 03:50 AM
$110 -> $114 (+$4)

Currently loving SnG's...but considering taking a shot at 5nl
02-26-2010 , 04:38 AM

Made it to 25NL again. This time it feels much better. I just have to stop showing down with marginal hands so often and I'll be doing 2x better. Next goal is to not be a donk and stay at 25NL while building up to 1000$ for 50NL shots.

Love Fish.

79 hand you should jst fold pre even tho its a min bet from a fish

K4 hand why did you limp pre raise and isolate the fish, limping here is weak


jst my 2cents
02-26-2010 , 10:26 AM
Ya both of those are pretty bad.
Fold 97o, and if you wanna play K4s on the BTN, raise it up.
Fold to the inevitable min3b from BB obv.
02-26-2010 , 10:36 AM
Well I posted here a little while back planning on following the thread, started with 50 dollars about 3 months ago at 5nl and playing the 90 man KO's on FTP, up to 25NL now. Put in some decent volume this month, 60k hands, but took had a pretty nasty downswing as you can see, but just glad to be on the positive side lol. This is mostly 12 tabling with a little bit of 16 tabling thrown in..

Think U should work on your showdown winnings up to NL50 i think its better to valuebet but or non showdown so sweet just make showdown little bit up and i think u might make 12BB/100 @NL25 i think more c/f rivers might help
