Hello,

I haven't updated my blog recently and haven't really been playing much poker either. The weather is really good over here at the moment and I am taking every opportunity to get out in the sun. When I am playing poker it's going well my roll is at $1800 and I think I am going to take shots at 50NL soon. I am not really a BR nit but I don't think my game has been good enough to take on 50NL yet.

I have defiantly been reading and watching videos more than playing. Currently nearly finished the poker mindset and reading the blueprint again. Also been watching some series over at DC but I don't think I have learned much from them. Really need some more series to watch so if you got an ideas let me know.

If anyone is interested in sweat sessions / coaching leave your Skype in the comments. I am really looking into helping 2NL-10NL players working on their game because if I can help them it is going to help me in my game as well. Also if anyone at 50NL or above wants to sweat and help me it would be appreciated.

I'll see you all at the end of the month for updates, hands and graphs

Well on the 15th it was my birthday and ever since then I have been running godly. I will post some hands later but I gotta go for now.

I have played around 10k hands this month and down around 10 buyins. I really dunno what to do anymore. I watch videos, read articles, review hands, sweat sessions, etc and I just always lose. Even got a coach and he hasn't noticed any big leaks in my game.

Peace for now I am going to cry

When is it going to end

I know everything is standard but 50k hands is starting to annoy me esp with all the effort I am putting into my game.

Like I said before tomorrows another day

Hello

April hasn't been great for me but thanks to ******** it hasn't been that bad. I finished down $200 but was break even with ******** so my bankroll hasn't really been affected. I ran under EV although I still think I played badly and many spots that I could improve in. Over the month I have spent a lot of time studying mainly watching videos and reading some articles. During the month I have been watching/watched Coaching Kristy, Play Along with Verneer, Eightfold Path to Poker Enlightenment, Live Sessions SSNL, Coaching Tree, and SSNL Disease. I am intending on re-watching Eightfold Path to Poker Enlightenment as I don't think I took everything in. I have been reading strategy articles on mainly 2+2 and PS although I am going to try to read a lot more this month. I am intending to read the poker blue print or Ryan Fees 6max book. I should be subscribing to Leggo soon to watch some videos here as well. Next month I am intending to play more hands hopefully between 40-50k because I only could fit in 30k this month. I also want to be in a position to be able to take shots at 50NL.

Here is my graph for the month:



I will only pot a couple of hands because I am lazy and can't really be bothered to find some interesting hands in my database.

Thank you for flatting AA preflop

I wouldn't normally play this hand this way but those two players were the biggest fish ever. I thought donking the flop if they had an ace they would be raising and then I thought if I just flatted the raise on the flop the other fish might come over the top of me.

I've gone from being up around $700 to break even after 125k hands.

I feel really down because I am working on my game so much and nothing changes

If anyone wants to coach me for free lemme know

What an amazing day. Cooler after cooler, missed every draw, etc. Reviewed the session and I can't really see anywhere I went wrong. Maybe a few small pots but nothing major.

Basically if you have read my blog you would see the downswing that I am currently on. I am still in the downswing after around 40,000 hands or so but I am making profit with bonuses + ********. My roll is $1740 with $20 bonus unlocked in 30 points and about $70 pending ******** on Friday. I am working on my game and analyzing my hands. The big question is whether I should take shots at 50NL? or I should wait till at least I am winning constantly again at 25NL? Any advice would be appreciated and if you want to take action on my shots let me know

In February I withdrew my roll from Poker Stars to pay for rent and food (really shouldn't have). I then got a small deposit going on Full Tilt Poker and now I have hit my first 100,000 hands on the site in around two months which I really good for me because I only six table. I am a little disappointed with my results over the last 30,000 hands or so but I am always working and improving my game. Some week soon I will have a massive heater, well hopefully anyway. I am up a bit more because of bonuses and MTT so I don't really know the exact figure.

Hello

I thought I would make a post about my April as it is coming up to a third of the way through the month. I don't think I have been playing my A game the entire month and way of room for improvements even though I am running bad currently. I have adjusted my game a bit to allow more squeezes and more spots to semi-bluff with good equity. This has changed my red line a small bit in the last few thousand hands. Although I am not sure whether it's for the best or whether it is going to last but before I really wasn't squeezing at all but now I see how profitable it is. Here's my graph for the month so far:



Here are my stats for the month so far:
