Well my bankroll was nitty, having almost 90 buy ins of nl25 or w/e, but bold and aggressive moves, result in swongs.

Small sample, didn't play much, thanks guys, i hope i keep this rate over the summer.

I'm gonna make this short and sweet cuz i'm very very tired.

1.) I play with about 100 buy ins at nl25 6max and am currently crushing, I feel mediocre about moving up and struggle to do so.

a.) I don't feel like waiting till 5k to play nl50 6 max, am i missing out on profits if i am beating 25 (dependant on winrate)?

b.) I feel like i have a "scared bankroll", is this posotive or negative and how/why?


Thanks guys, just trying to figure out other paradigms,

Just a summer update, real fast. I've had a decent run at MTT's, HUSNGS, and cash games for may, basically won 1k on a 1k roll, which was nice considering i am on the top of my micro game.

I'm holding 14ptbb/100 at nl25 on FTP, with a few deep tables mixed in. I played this hand today, which is think is the deepest i've ever stacked someone at a deep table on FTP thus far.

The flow of the hand, with the flow of the chat, was just incredible, and I find it pretty lulzy.

When i looked up his hand, i was shocked, and just shrugged and laughed a little. 6 buy in pot is also pretty funny to me given his line with the flop and the turn, well just the whole freakin' hand i guess was just awesome.

I had no clue he was a fish i put him on some weird QQ or 99 or something i have no idea. w/e.

I'm running decent and wish i could play more but i'm working weekends, bout 20 hours a week bagging groceries, pushing carts, stuff like that. It's 7$ an hour, which is less than i make now, but this way i can let my roll grow, without crippling myself over the summer.

Guess it just depends on the angle you look at things. Well here is my graff, thanks for reading,

Just built my computer! 20" Dell Ultrasharp is cheap and has amazing quality. I have a 8800 GTX for Fear, Crysis, WC3, etc etc. It's a solid brag and i love it. I still am looking for a job due to the fact that parents + poker = lolwut.

It's good to be back in the USA.

Just took my last final, my brain was about to implode. Then I got all buzzed off of the knowledge of how awesome summer will be. I four tabled NL25, 2 full ring, 2 6 max, essentially lost 10 bux. Was like meh about it, ran below average. So since I am rolled for NLHU50, and have been seeking fish actively at it, and having recently watched I think three hu cash videos from here, i felt like i was good to play. I basically double stacked a full stacked (rare in nl50) fish. He instaleft me after the second stack, and now i'm writing about it.
My campus is throwing a BBQ here in Austria, and I'm leaving for home in two days, and cannot WAIT to eat TACO FREAKIN BELL BABY!! HAHAHAHAHA, Mexican food FTWWWWWWWWWW. Neways, nl50hu over the summer is a definite possibility, wish me luck,

One final left, then I'm leaving Austria for home which is in good ol' Colorado. So after watching about 6 videos yesterday, and having about 2k in my bankroll, I am convinced i can grind more money online playing 40+ hours a week than i can working an 8 dollars per hour job. Problem is that i'm still living at my parents house, and they want me to get steady money (lol). This is the last thing i want. What should I do? Just grind one day and be like look, i have a 10$/hour hourly doing X hands per hour, which means etc etc, or should i just suck it up, take a job and hopefully find time to put hands in? Being forced to work sux. More updates when i get back to the land o the free,

Fhack I never actually learned shat. Finals. That is all.

So i shouldn't have taken a shot with my computer breaking and finals coming up, overall it was a poor choice and I'm a little disappointed in myself. I lost about 3 buy ins at nl50 and i know i can do better, but got FPS and tilted a bit.

Now i know when i mentally should not play. I also now know when i move up i get FPS, so i should ease into the limit rather then jumping in full force.

Tommorow i hope to play a few husngs, we'll see how that goes,

Started playing poker online with money a year ago. Sucked, lost it. Got some money from a friend, ran it up, to 200 in a month, then eventually to 1k. Withdrew 250 after tilting a lot, then tilted the rest.

Got steaked from a friend, made a lost, variance and playing bad and not reviewing HH's, back to busto.

FPP grind with T$, made money, played etc won etc. Over the summer won about 800 playing uber small stakes like 1-5$ mtts and nl10 and some 3 dollar sngs and 6$ hu.

I arrived here in austria, moved my money to party, ran like hell in high variance super turbos lost over 300, wanted to quit for life.

Got 10 bux on cake, ran that up 400. Didn't wanna quit anymore. Won another 300 this month dinking around, which brings me up to approx 1.5k.

Recently my computer fried, i have it backed up but, it still sux. The plan is to withdraw, and spend some savings and get a nice rig set up, and get steaked for nl50 over the summer by a friend, and play 2.5k hands a day if not more and basically shoot for the moon.

I'm a full time student, in Austria (just this semester), and the internet here sucks for bandwith. Most hands i shipped in one month (more like one weekend) was 9k on cake and i made a pretty good amount.

I wish i could post graphs, pt stats, and all that, but as i said, computer is fried.

I need to convince my parents, who want me to get a fulltime job, that i can make more money playing nl50 4 tabling on cake. Blah it's late ill tell u more later,

tl;dr

cliff notes: past=swongs are one thing, present=running good with busto comp, future=steak and hopefully pro summer instead of gay job.
