Touching NL10 --> never better

Hi guys and girls (at least I hope so :D) ...

So as told I touched NL10 today and I can say only one thing: GREAT !
At first I was thinking ooh again - on this limit and then I little cleared my head and started thinking that I should act like I dont even know this limit. And all went ok. I started getting good cards and also being payed off a lot off times. I noticed that the game is a little tighter then NL5 but I didnt played a lot cuz the day was kinda wierd :D I must say that I posted a lot in hand disscusion forum and I take a look at two videos. Having a day off is really great (I meant having a day off school :D). So enough talking here are the graphs and stats:





And overall standings (profit at NL10 is that small because I had about -30$ at the start)




And now I am going to partyyyy a little :D And not drink nothing :P:P:P

AKo -22$ : overall +40$ :)

Ok so yesterday I played quite a lot of hands. So after 3k hands I was about 40$+ which is quite of a result again. So I am making 9.66PTBB/100 which is a good result too. Yesterday I didnt play 8 tables but I tried a little of 4 tabling and I think I was doing same but I was making better decisions for sure.
Maybe today will be the day when I touch NL10 a little but as I sad I am a little afraid of NL10 since in past it made me a lot of headaches :D So enough talking, here are yesterdays stats and a graph:

So stats of 4.4.2008 (yesterday) are like this:



And a graph:



Actually I am very happy about the result since worst hand of the day was AKo :D

Overall stats:



Overall graph (NL2 not included):



So in the next week I will try to make some "tutorial" or however would you call it for NL5 limit.

Who says Aces are the best hand ? :D

Ok a bad day for me today ... First of all I would like to include the fact that I did not stick to my goals perfectly but anyway I am not to disapointed since cards today ware really bad. What can we do about it, psyhology, tilt etc. all included in my opinion. So today I made -21$ but I will show you graph and stats.

Was a special day to be honest I had some sweat sessions with a player from stox and in the early phase I think he was like :O since I was getting only good cards, good flops etc. you know how it is when its hitting you :D (If you dont bealive look on the graph :D)

So here are todays stats ... (TAKE A LOOK AT THE HANDS PART :D)



And todays graph (I know I was at 30$+ :D)



And overall which is after all I went through today, not so bad at all :D



So today would be a great day to talk about tilt but I am a little to tired to do that now. I just decided to watch some funny movie and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day and I am planing to do at least some profit. I am still quite happy about my game since I am still doing 8.2PTBB.

Good night guys

Here comes another + profit day :)

I dont know but really for the first time to be honest this "big stack strategy" as they would call it on pokerstrategy is actually working out or maybe is just an upswing but I think I am doing pretty fine since all my stats are normal ...

Today I watched a movie on stox and then full of optimism started playing. 8 tables of NL5 as usual. I was playing for about an hour and then went on pause, then I was playing two hours and a pause and again one hour. So overall I played about 2.2k hands today :) I end up in 40$ profit :P I had some unlucky AQs on a NL10 table which I btw opened accidentally but the pot was big (multiway) and I had the TPTK (top pair top kicker), I was thinking that I am maybe bad, which I was at the end against a JJ seting :D Ok enough about this so let we take a look at todays statistics:



Todays graph would be something like this:



And overall graph including NL2:



So I am geting some downs and ups but I think this is the fact we need to count it in if we are playing 6max and especially on lower stakes. So I just need to post a hand and check what I did actually play today :)

Good bye

April goals ...

So I was thinking and decided to make some goals for april. I know that if I put my self some goals is the best way to improve my game I think for every one else who is just starting that this is a great way to. I put my self goals high. Whys that ? So if we take a look at our life ... I put my self a goal to get hm... let me say about 1k$ a month no matter how just get. And there is another person who puts him self a goal to get 5k$ a month, who do you think it will get more ? Sure we must be realistic since the goal can be so hard to achive that we gave up ... Ok stop bullshiting making goals is a great way of improving your game or what ever you are just doing and want to be succesfull at this. So my goals for april are:

1. At the end of the month I want to be playing on NL25 (500$ of bankroll more is better since I think I will be playing 6max)
2. 40k hands
3. I need to make 2-3 PTBB on NL10 or. NL5 it depends what I will be playing.

What we must count in ?

- On every hour or maybe two if table is very fishy I will make a 5-10-60-120 minutes pause for a drink, take something to eat what ever.
- If I loose two stacks so if I am 10$ in - I will end for that day. In extreme cases where I get suck out really badly I can continue but to -15$ when I am more I go away. Go read a book etc.
- I will watch at least one video a day on stoxpoker.com
- On the and of each day I will go through my "panic" hands of the day and post at least one on the stox forum, 2+2 what ever page :D

Dont be so happy I didnt die :D

So for last few days I was playing a little, yes your right I did not forget about poker (never :D). So I decided to play lower stakes mostly 0.01/0.02 FR (full ring). So I played it for about 8k hands 12-16 tabling. I become bored and started going over my limits and take it to 20 tables :D Yeah it was not right decision since I made a minus 10$ pretty fast. So I decided since my BR is allowing me to do that, I moved to NL5 6max. I played on this limit for about 4k hands and I am doing awesome. Players on these stakes are so loose I just could not imagine have loose they can be. I was getting called by anything (middle pair, low flush draw etc.) so I got quite a few suckouts at the beginning but sooner or later I knew that good cards and odds will get payed off. And they did :D
I hope I will record some session and show it here :P But just for now here are the stats and the graphs from my poker tracker.


Picture from poker tracker and poker grapher


Graph from pokerEV mostly will show you sklansky bucks (using information)


And allin luck graph judge on yourself :D

I was tilting a little bit to again and get all those things in my mind (poker is not for me, etc.) so I think a little of this: Maybe I should start playing SNGs :D And I played it a little of 3.4$ turbo 10 man SNGos on PS and I was quite succesfull, actually I tried a Collin Moshman strategy showed in his video. Collin Moshman is a great SNG player and he is part of a coach team on stoxpoker.com. He also wrote a book called SNG strategy which I think it will be my part of the poker book collection. As we are here I would like you to inform that I am planting to spend some money on the books but I am still thinking which books would it be so if any of you got some advice please fell free to advice :D (I am not a fan of E-books :P). I am seriously interested in the new Ed harrington holdem cash game, little green, blue and black book set and so on and on and on :D

Good day after all

So yesterday we had a litlle party at friends house, we played a home tournament 10€ buyin (6 players). I finished 3rd but I was very bad beated. So I was holding a 77, I raised about 3 times the BB (I was pretty big stack atm.) and friend called. Flop cames 345 two of diamonds. Since my friend its not that good player I pushed to scare him a little and he called me with A2 diamonds. He beated me so I was pretty not in that bad mood since I didnt play that bad actually I played pretty good tbh. :D

So today I tried to play a little on a FTP (Full Tilt Poker). I started playing Short Stack strategy on NL25. I came to about 7$ profit and leave the tables. I was playing short stack just to get some money and I will be playing short stack to, to get some nice bankroll. So then I wanted to play a little of a NL10 6 handed and I ended with a nice profit. I will make a cutout of interesting hands and post it here. Here are the statistics in my pokertracker
My VPIP is a little to high so I will try to play less hands (my goal is to get it somewhere to 26-28). Next thing I want to know how is my PF aggression doing :D So I hope I will be capable to post some video reviews of hands from todays session (maybe the whole session). So thats it for today.




Where am I going today ?! :)
