Day 8 400nl shots
Posted in Poker | View Comments (3)
 

So today i loaded up 15 tables of 400nl and just started grinding. I got in about 2 hours so far and won about $400, i lost a huge pot which was sorta unlucky. This might sound cocky but today i felt over skilled for 400nl fr at all my tables i thought i made the least mistakes out of the regs and i put the most pressure on people. I guess its cuz i played like 500,000 hands at 1/2 already and 100,000 at 2/4 6max. But i mean not skill wise but emotionally i have issues... I'm still not use to the swings. At 200nl a 5buyin swing i wouldn't think twice about for some reason losing a pot at 400nl feels like a lot more even though its really not... And although i didn't tilt yet i can feel it inside that if i lost like 4 flips in a row i would just mega hate life and maybe go into a spew mode. So I'm going to limit my sessions to 1.5 hours and have a 2 buyin stop loss till i win 5000-10,000 at 400nl fr. But so far today i made 800 in ev and from review i saw 1 mistake which was 90$. I'm just hoping this time at 400nl i dont go -7k ev like last time! one time please!!!

Going to play again later for a few hours probably and shoot for 600ish+ on the day then swim workout and get some rest.

Edit in

So i played another session it went smoothly i think, i find 400nl easier than 200nl because peoples ranges make more sense to me. Also i think ppl see me as sorta an unorthadox player and noone knows me and they kinda spazz vs me or maybe 400nl ppl are just agressive spazzes iono. The big hand was vs some guy who i ended up playing hu i called him 3 streets all in with 2nd pair because his range could not contain the top pair. I think its really funny when ppl try to rep something they can't have i almost peed myself laughing at his shove. He obv showed 9 high. And its funny cuz i had cbet lead but i checked to induce with the intention of c/c 3 streets.

I am taking the shot mainly cuz i think i'm overskilled and overrolled for it and i might as well go all out if i fail whatever ......... i wanna go to the top!!!
graph for 400nl so far. Total so far is like 5500/15000? dunno forgot.

I can't believe you're taking a shot at nl400 during your challenge

seems to me you wouldn't take a shot at 400 if you were really considering quitting poker and going to school if you dont make 15k

Well, what i ment was quit poker as my full time job/not focus of my life completely. I would probably still play a hour or 2 if i was in school. Like i have a opportunity while I'm young to finish college or make a lot of $. I don't want to end up doing neither.... Basically my 400nl shot is only a 2 bi shot, cuz at this point i am ahead of pace by like 800$. I probably wouldn't be taking a shot if i hadn't pushed myself to do the challenge and make 5k in 5 days because i started on stars with only $2000 2 months ago. But now i have more than enough to do 400nl so i would think it would make my challange easier since my hourly should go up... I dunno we will see if it goes poorly I'll only be spending 1 more day on it.
