So I've been a part of the Leggo community for some time now and I've always been a blog lurker but never had my own blog so I thought that I would start one for 2010. I've always enjoyed the LeggoPoker community and I feel like it is far beyond the rest out there. The content and customer service (Matt) can't be touched.

Story:
I'm 22 year old college student at Seattle University (private school) and will graduate with a Business MGMT degree after Winter quarter. I've been playing poker on and off for about 3 years now? and I've had mixed results and would often take long breaks due to running poorly or not playing very well.

For a while I was a multitabling whore playing around 12-16 tables of 6mx just grinding a small profit and while gaining massive amounts of FPPs. I moved up to 100NL and since I never improved as a player people exploited me like crazy. The results did not follow and I lost around 10BI and decided to take a break. I came back playing 50NL at the middle of November 2009 and put in a lot of small sessions and my results have been amazing. I've ran well however, I feel like I've been playing well also.

2010 Resolutions
  1. Emotional Control
  2. Stick to a schedule
  3. Studying outside of playing
  4. Do not force volume
  5. 200NL Reg

I'm sure there's a bunch more I could add however, this is what came to mind.

November and December Results:





Last couple thousand hands have been a little breakeven and I think I've been playing a bit too carelessly and making bluffs in spots where I can easily get picked off. 50NL players don't seem to give you much credit.

Well I'm not sure what to write about cuz this is my first blog but hopefully I can keep you guys entertained and post pictures throughout because I know that's what keeps me coming back for more.

Thinking about moving up to 100NL relatively soon, from members experience what is the skill difference among the players at PokerStars from 50NL to 100NL?

Also I was staked for $1000 at the beginning of this quest and I was wondering if anyone has experienced the cashout curse?

thanks for reading

I think the cash out curse is real but does not happen because you cash out. When you win a bunch of money (and have to cash out) you are riding an emotional high and have already backed off your A game. You ran decent / good, realized you are in fact the god of $50NL and just have to sit at the table to make money from all the donks, nobody can bluff you cause you are too good and so on. Then you lose. that's what happens to me anyway. It would happen if I kept the money online too though.

pretty small sample for 50nl but very sick results. Cashout curse = myth however Bility brings up some good points. Dont think there is much of a skill jump between 50-100nl. of course some of the regs are a little better post flop/more aggressive but spewy aggressive and a lot of them are mass multi tableing and play abc. also the short stackers are a lot more frequent.
