Lost $2.5k in 50 minutes!

What a blow!
As soon as I started the session I wasn’t really feeling it. I was playing 4 tables of $600NL but from the start I wasn’t in the zone. I probably shouldn’t have played, but I did and things didn’t go too well.
Even though I lost all this money today in such a short [...]

That was split between $400NL and $600NL.Overall, I’ve played about 3000 hands of $600NL and I’m down $80. This is good news as 2 days ago I was [...]

Don’t bluff idiots and don’t show your cards!

I’ve lost so much money in the past from trying to bluff idiots off a hand. I did manage to bluff 2 idiots off a hand today though.
Both players were seeing over 40% of flops and the big blind was folding more than a player of his looseness usually does postflop.
Here it is:

$600NL is hard!

I played again last night. I lost about $1.3k! I lost a vast majority of it on tilt.Today I only played $400NL on Party. I won about $1.5k. I’m going to continue playing $400NL till I’ve won another few Gs. I hope I stick to my word this time.It’s funny how I tilted $1.3k early [...]

$600NL analysis (PartyPoker)

It’s quite tough, but I think I can beat it. I moved down to $400NL for a bit, but I’m now playing $600NL again.
Players do not respect continuation bets at $600NL and a lot more bluffing goes on. The players are also a lot more creative (ie. checkraising the river, etc.). They come up with [...]

Poker Graph for last 23k hands

The graph is very up and down. The downswing in the middle is horrible to look at, but it happens and I worked out how to get out of it and improved my game in the process.

Lost a bit

I’ve lost a bit since my last post. A few days ago my bankroll was $23k. It is now about $20.5k.
I lost $3k at $600NL and then dropped back down to $400NL. I have barely played this week. I really want to put in long hours but I’m just too busy. My holiday is nearly [...]

Played around 300 hands of $600NL today and won

I won close to $2400 today. My move up to $600NL has been good so far. Over 700 hands I’ve won 37BB/100hands (BB = big bets = 2xbig blind).
I’m not looking forward to an inevitable downswing. I just hope I don’t get too cocky and keep on playing my A-game.
There are a lot of short-stacks [...]

Just finished a 90 minute session and made a profit of $2200

Here’s an interesting hand that I feel I played really badly and timidly. I played the hand very out of character and got myself into a sticky situation.
I really need to work on my deep stacked game. This opponent took a few quite big stacks off me without a showdown. I think I play to [...]
