Just had another half an hour on the NL4 and my finishing balance was £219.88 from £150 + the extra £15 i,ll get with the extra points and got 3pts towards September lol
Will withdraw it back to £150 for September and see how i get on
Exactly. I guess if you're happy making £100 a month then you could do it, but I'm deffo wanting to move up the levels or if not, definitely increase the number of tables to increase your profit.
Had another session today but no matter what i done it didnt work. Down a little but minimised the losses. Infact in two hours i won 1 hand post flop, and only had the worst hand on 0 occassions, so says something for how i played.
Closing BR: £64.25
Had a few beers and games of fifa and was bored. so decided to load up again. Now i know playing under the inflence seriously kills winnings so i made a munch and a cuppa and got on with it. 2 major highlights one, getting into a 300BB pot and winning with my flopped set. Lovley start, then folding AK pre flop (see clinic)/.
Anyways on the whole this was my best session for a few days, so been a welcomed booster to confidence.
Closing Bankroll: £74.65
Tbh i just want to get on with it now and get past this annoying trivial level. consentration in starting to get better along with motovation, even under losing sessions im starting to feel better all round. This session Tbh i couldnt do much wrong, in an 18 hand time period i had AA x2, KK x3, QQ x1, 99 x1 and 55 x1. Winning with them all bar 99 which i folded on the flop. However i did make mistakes on my other table witch did minimise my profit, there was one clear folding spot with AQ on A9T flop when my opponent clearly had me beat and i stacked. However im noticing these mistakes better now.
Fwiw, id go back and tell 20 yr old me to listen lol.
Going well so far keep it up !
One thing alot of people seem to forget or not think about is that ALOT (not all) of players at the higher levels have started out at low levels and mastered playing ABC poker. Yeah at the higher levels you gotta mix it up a bit, balancing your ranges and all that jive but every single person playing at that level will know how to play ABC poker and no matter how many moves your making and how funky you're getting, you've gotta know how to play good solid poker.
People seem to put 4NL-10NL down and rubbish it, saying it's alot of skills that you'll never use again once you get past these levels but I think that's a load of rubbish, everyone needs to know how to play solid ABC poker and where better to learn it and learn the discipline required than a place where it's cheap to do and it's a MUST to do if you wanna win.
Ofc this could be variance talking and i ran good against the better players. However i think when i sit down on a table and Dohhh is to my right and TommyD to my left (examples) i know i can come and play "proper" poker with them. The kind of stuff thats been well drilled into my head for such a long time. Yes i may get out played. But i also may dish a little back.
For me playing awful players is heaven and I would love to have 5 at every table I play at NL10 right now but sadly there's quite a few silly REGS that spoil the fun, god knows what it's gonna be like if I ever progress to NL20.
For you I would enjoy NL4/8 while you can.
Started a mid evening session. And it went well on the whole. Pretty much a standard session, a few big lost hands killed profit but on the whole profit was made.
However the other table really supported well and did make me some decent profits.
Closing Balance: £81.96
This session could have been far more profitable i was two tabling and only had one table that went well. The other just nothing went right. I lost 2 seperate 50BB pots right before the end of session aswell. However both pots as shown above where standard, therefore i think theres a large number of positives to be taken.
You mention 2 tabling, with this BR I would play minimum of 3 tables, maybe 4 if you can do that.
Had another session today, was going to play longer but want to sit and watch mastercash, might learn something lol.
Anyways a good session 0 hands lost over 50p which helps and only got it in behind once, AQ v KK where i binked.
Closing Balance: £97.91
Didn,t think u could get Ch 865 _
ps - Not got that link yet
i was cursing the person on her the other night who said I was "madcrazy" still playing the Nl4 as i moved to Nl10 , 4 tbling and w/o reads - lost 5 buy-ins of £10 within an hour and went to bed
Somehow made it back playing bout 3 or 4 £5 DYm,s and NL10 , but just 2 tabling
i missed Mastercash, but hopefully i .ll catch the repeat if anyone knows when its on?
Played for an hour tonight on 1 table just to concentrate on reads and played well on a tight table, apart from 1 and got some good bluffs in which is just not worth doing at NL4
BR £150
BR £234.52 + £30 bonus to come but not sure how much to withdraw if any t all
2 hands of note against the looser player
2 hands of note - the 1st hand _ Can,t complain - read it well - Whoever said "Embrace the variance " on Tele are spot on. It really didn,t bother me . I complimented him on been lucky
The second hand justice prevails
Player
BR £244.71
After an hour or 2 of NL10 and losing an early buy in after running my str8 on the river into a flush on the river i got most of it back then this one which was strange and could have gone either way as it had been a bit of a nitty table
Played a bit of NL4 with Don . Took a buy in off him and gave it away on a k10 AIPF (sorry m8)
I knowo ur were down a bit but keep the diary goin and you,ll soon get it back
Had a ********** nuff of this donkey. 6 buy ins down in one session. A session on which i may add i lost with Jacks 4 times, Queens 5 times and Kings 8 times. Yeah u read right
Closing BR: £73.94
QUIT NEVER TO RETURN TO THIS C***
Sorry Don, but grow a set. You've more than doubled your starting BR and making progress, then one bad session and you're gonna quit?
I had a similar run last night and my BR is right back where I started nl4. I lost with my value hands through coolers not bad play, and if I play that way consistantly I think I'll be ok.
