Rollercoaster ride at 200nl and 400nl shot

Moved up to 200nl permanently and have been playing quite a lot of hands. I used to table select and choose soft tables but I've recently decided to play any table that's open as I want to play v the regs and anyone to improve my game.

I'm actually 12-tabling right now but I think I'm playing fine. I had a +1.5K session this morning where I ran ok. Don't know what the fuck happened but I ran uber uber bad in a session I played in the evening where I dropped 1.5K back omg. I lost like 8/8 flips and kept getting suckouts and coolers seriously I was like -1.5K below in EV for the whole session. I haven't run very good since moving up to 200nl but I've still been able to grind out a 1.5ptbb/100 win rate. I do hope this improves soon as I feel like I'm completely crushing the tables!

Worth mentioning is a brief shot I took at 400nl today as I was kind of tilted by the nittyness at 200nl.

Managed to get JJ in v player who had 3bet preflop consecutively in the past 5 hands button v SB and obviously he has QQ and holds.

FTP has this run it twice feature and I had it on when my 2nd stack off hand happened, UTG opens and I flat in BB with AKhh. Flop is 7c 3h 2h and I c/r and call shove v 67ss.

We run it twice and I brick both times!

Run soooooooooo good. All in all I played 6 hours today 0 > +1.5K > 0 > -1K

Bigtime below EV, ffs where's the long run?

Up and away

woot I've kinda skipped 100nl and now up to 200nl! Well I did play like 30K hands at 100 but 1 day after dropping 5 buyins, I decided to move up with a 9K+ bankroll

...and dropped another 500 at 200nl making it a -1K day.

I felt really good though and so decided to stay at the level. Been away from poker a while due to moving homes and setting up the internet connection but I'M BACK.

Went to casino 2 days ago at the Empire with colleagues just for jokes and managed to have my first £1K hour! It was a crazy table and my very first hand was the below:

A few limpers including a crazy drunk 50-60 woman who I had seen open raise like 20-30bbs as standard.

I bump it up to 16 with AKcc after 4 limpers and 2 call me while the CDW reraises to 120, I shove and she snaps with 9Thh!

Heart attack flop 7h 8h 5c turn 4c river 5s ship ship 500 pounds in my stack.

A few hands later I pick up QQ UTG and make it 10 3 callers and tight passive on BTN with 100 stack makes it 25. I was going to fold but CDW in BB makes it 125 and has 200 behind. To just profit from her, I decided to shove my QQ. At this point, I'm feeling tad hot and stressed so I stand up and walk 2 steps away from my seat as I've shoved already so I can take a breath and chill out. Dealer and everyone at the table says that this makes my hand dead! OMG! I call for floor for ruling and luckily he says it's fine. Apparently there's a rule saying you can't leave your seat or else your hand is dead.

Anyway, after that scary 5 minutes, tight passive obv calls and has KK and CDW snaps with A6o

Another heart attack board! J22 turn is ACE! but nooooooooooooo river BANG Q! I ship 850+ pot bringing my stack up to 900+.

Few hands later shortstack UTG opens and I flat behind with AJhh as does CDW in BB.

Flop Jc 3h 6s and CDW donks 100 into 30, UTG calls for whatever rest of his stack was and as CDW has 300 behind I just make it 400 and she snaps.

Turn is amazing card for me 2h and river is decent 2c and I ship another 800 pot bringing my stack to 13xx.

I get a few drinks for my colleagues and cash out even though the CDW keeps rebuying. Sucks but I had to head home for dinner or else I'd be spanked by my mum.

Went to the cashier and they gave him a wad of 20 pound notes wrapped with a paper band in between! Just like those bricks you see on High Stakes Poker! Except the fact that they're 100 dollar notes and they have like 1000 of them to make a brick of 100K...but I don't care!

So all in all I bought in for 250 and cashed out 1335 with a profit of £1085 in 1 hour!

Epicness. The very next day (yesterday) my internet gets connected and I get home and continue where I left off! 200NL...

BOOM 1K day. I chase back all losses prior to the internet connection being turned off and establish myself as a rising 200nl reg who will terrorise the mid-stakes....

Well obviously at the very very end of my session I lose 150bbs in set over set but what can you do...I finish session up 700 but I check the clock and it's past midnight! So strictly speaking it's still a 1K day!

Midstakes here I come.

GRADUATED FROM MICRO STAKES

I can successfully say I've graduated from micro stakes and I have made a brag/tips post on 2p2 about it. Here's the link:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69/micro-stakes-pl-nl/how-progress-micros-into-ssnl-691135/

Actually pretty generic stuff but I don't care.

I'm fucking done with micros.

to 100nl and beyond

I've moved up to 100nl following a successful month in december. I have also decided to stick to Full Tilt due to the weak connection PokerStars has, as well as the fact that the increased benefits of maintaining Supernova < guaranteed rakeback on Full Tilt + better interface.

I now have a 8.5K+ roll and will consider taking shots at 1/2 once I hit 10K. I'm a bit of a bankroll nit but it's working for me so I don't care what anyone else says.

I am hand-reading really well and picking my spots a lot better. My leaks still include being a pay off wizard and allowing session results affect my decisions. For example, as I like ending up for a session, I may give up on a +EV decision to "lock in" the win for the session. Or I may end the session early just to finish in the green.

I definitely need to improve on that as I would like to be able to grind more after work each day.

Goals for 2010: become 200 or 400NL reg, 50K in winnings before end of year.

Grader from PTR

Being a LAG is so fun.

Making the transition

Long time no post. Everything's been going really well, busy with work and my CFA studying for the exam next week.

Poker's been good I've run 10ptbb/100 + over last 15k hands at 50nl 12 tabling and also took a few shots at 100nl doing ok.

Will be putting in a lot more volume after my exam next week.

Feeling very good as if you remember a few months back in July I had 1.3k online for poker and was considering quitting. I now have 4.3k and back up and running.

Played a session at the Empire Casino in London last week when Dan came over to visit. After clubbing and drinks we decided to go play 1/2. Bought in for 300 and cashed out 750 after 2 hours!

The players were really bad and it was really easy crushing the table.

Biggest pot of night and most interesting hand was a hand where I called a raise with Q5cc out of position v another player and we were both 300+bbs deep. I c/called a Ts 3h 2s flop, c/called a Qd turn and c/r-ed as bluff on 7s river and he called!

He mucked and I scooped in a 450+ pot!

Pretty sick but I think he herocalled with a hand like AT/JJ

Interesting spot

Been 12-tabling 50nl lately and trying to stop auto-piloting and actually handreading.

This hand came up:
I'm in the BB with ATo and everyone limps. The players are kind of the random low stakes fish you'd see. SB is the only solid player on the table, reg and TAG stats. I decided to check my BB.

Flop comes 99Tr and SB leads pot.

What do you do here?

I'll post my thoughts and rationale in the next post

5.5 buy ins below EV playing biggest fish HU

I know I said something about not sharing bad beat hands but I found this HU session versus the biggest fish of all time genuinely amusing.

Let's review some of the big hands
