Updates

Here's the plan. I'm gonna withdraw all but $30 of my bankroll, and I'm gonna get 2 million playchips and make it $50 for my total bankroll. And I'm gonna do a "from $50 to $2000" Blog, detailing my quest to glory!


not bad, currently up 100k from playchips after some omaha H/L game:

Bankroll: $30
Playchips: 450,940

School

Started school, so won't be able to play as much as I used to.

The other night Lost a $6 pot against someone, I had AK, board comes K, blank, blank, I bet huge, and he calls, turn is a blank, I fired another huge one, river is a blank too, I go all in, and he calls, turns out he has KK LOL.

So right now I'm just gonna go play some Playchips SNG while I'm studying/doing HW. I'll play real money in the weekends or something.

Trying out some full ring NL 10

Think I'm more comfortable at this. I'll update on how i do.

15th place finish!

Decided to try the 50c tourne tonight because the 1st prize is around $280, and I ran actually pretty deep tonight, finished at 15th place!!

Unfortunately only won like $6.50, my last hand, I was short stacked, and sandwiched between two big stacks, I entered the pot with 8 8, flop came 9 10 K, one guy check, i pushed, and BOTH CALLED! turns out the guy who checked flopped a straight! I guess I got outplayed, but I had to shove because I was basically Pot committed.

And now for teh screenshot:

Sit and Go

After I got that extra $200, i guess I thought i was invincible, and went to NL5 NL10. All of sudden, I don't see money as much value anymore, I kinda just throw them out there in big bets, and shoved a lot. For some sick swing, I shoved with AA, KK, AK, QQ, so many times, and i got called and sucked out on, I mean wtf, some of them was like one outer suckouts! So i'm down like $20 from all the suckouts, woulda be in the $30-$40 range if i hadnt made some back.

So now I'm grinding $1.20 18 man sng again, and I'm doing pretty well if I might say so myself, finished in many top spots:

Brag: Man, i Love SNG, i crush them so easily:

so I made some of my losses back, and I'm pretty much even at this point, sitting at $347.

I guess I'll keep grinding sng, and eventually move up the stakes when I'm comfortable.

$300+ WOOT!

So the other day I entered a contest on 2+2 forum:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=103137

I was thinking, what the hell, im bored, so I made a video and entered, and surprisingly, I WON $200 from it LOL, this is the video that got me the $$



Now sitting at:

Swings...

Had some really bad swings these couple of days, although I didnt play much, Was up all the way to $155, then by some sick bad beats on the river , I went down to as far as $147, I swear after this one time the guy sucked out for $5 I immediately turned off my PC and went to blow off the steam before tilt makes me lose more $$.

So what do I do now? I'm rethinking my strategy, I think I'm gonna go back to what's i'm good at naturally - tournament.

Gonna set $10 aside and gonna keep playing SNG and Tournes. I'm gonna use TheWall's SNG step system to see how far I can make it.

This chart was made with full tilt sit and go's 9 player non turbo's, stars and other sites have similar buy ins so a easy adjustment shouldnt be a hassle

I constantly get messaged on how players are doing great using my sit and go for beginners strategy 1 player has cashed on average 9 out of 10 they play

most of the poeple who send me these follow up shortly with a huge loss and they have to start all over again because they went to the ring(cash) tables or thought they were ready for and played the higher stakes sit and go's

so i devoloped this strategy and did this chart so my fellow railbirds have something to follow that both allows players to experience the higher stakes and NOT risk all there bankroll

here are the rules if you want to play with your bankroll but want to keep it safe you must follow them

RULE 1 if at any time your bankroll falls below the min BR required for any stage YOU MUST STEP DOWN A STAGE

RULE 2 if at any time you do not cash 2 games in a row YOU MUST STOP PLAYING FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR AND FIGURE OUT WHY( IF YOU KNOW WHY STRAIGHT AWAY IE A BAD BEAT OR CARD DEAD TAKE A BREAK ANYWAY AND COME BACK FRESH)

RULE 3 never ever step up a stage until your bankroll meets the minimum requirement THIS ALLOWS FOR THOSE THAT CONSITANTLY CASH TO ADVANCE BUT A LITTLE SLOWER

RULE 4 if you ever get lucky to cash ie your the one who sucked out on somebody or your simply outclassed by over half the players and you know it STEP DOWN A STAGE AND REINFORCE YOUR CONFIDENCE (BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF)

RULE 5 make sure you never get sidetracked print this out if you have to but check the rules after every game you play IF YOU DONT FOLLOW THE RULES AND BLOW YOUR BANKROLL IM SORRY BUT I DONT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT

RULE 6 never ever play a turbo if you want to gamble go play craps or roulette (TURBO'S FAVOUR MANIACS AND IDIOTS THE BLIND STRUCTURE WILL FAVOUR A CHIP STACK AND PURE LUCK OVER SKILL)

RULE 7 do not ever change you game do not switch from holdem to omaha etc ( if you want to play something else split your bankroll and start fresh on the new game)STAY WITH WHAT YOUR WINNING IF ITS NOT BROKEN DONT FIX IT

RULE 8 if you win all 8 in a row its a fluke stop immediately and start again DO NOT STEP TO STAGE 9 IF YOU HAVENT LOST(ONCE AGAIN DONT FIX WHAT ISNT BROKEN)

RULE 9 never ever play a $100+ game they take too long to fill up and its where most of the professionals play if your BR hits $10,000 do what ever the hell you want but until then trust me

First railbird tourne in a while

In the money so far, with about 180 ppl to go, just tripled up with a sick 3 way all in

Ups and Downs

Didn't play any poker today due to work, but I will post some hands from yesterday:

Biggest pot ever for me.
Note: I play this hand during my ultra tilt, and it lifted my tilt insantly.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1918118

I just downloaded Poker Grapher, and here's my graph so far, kinda crazy up/down swing lol

I have to say , ever since I started reading NL holdem in microstakes by David Sklansky my poker game had improved dramatically, I am now more aware of the power of position and how to bet on each street. It's amazing, I highly recommend that book to anyone looking to dominate low stakes poker.

Running Good

So far this morning had been great so far. Sitting at a NL .02/.05 6-Max table and had some really loose actions. Nothing special here except Had my biggest pot in my career (lol).

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1911245

I love it when i run good:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1911277

I found players at this limit are much better at poker and much more profitable for me. (yay for no more suckouts)

More updates & hands coming.


Update: Stats for the day:

Stats

Pot Limit Omaha

I've always been interested in Pot Limit Omaha, watching the pros gambling thousands of dollars on FTP, i went on and try the game myself yesterday. I Sat down in the 0.01/0.02 6 max PLO table and man, i was killing the game, people will call you down with nothing lol, had the nuts several times and doubled my buy-in pretty quick.

I'm gonna read up on some strategies on PLO and will see what I can do with it. I Find it much more fun than Hold'em.

Dawn of a new era!

So I've finally reached the $130 mark. This is now a whole new game for me. After many months of reading/practicing with playchips, I think i'm ready for the real game. So I will now lay out my bankroll management plan.

$100 or below = Go back to playchips and re-evaluate my loophole, earn 1mil back in playchips.
$110 or above = NL 2
$160 = Set aside $10 for NL 5, if back down to $150 or below, move back to NL 2
$220 = Set aside $20 for NL10, if back down to $200 or below, move back to NL 5


I think this is pretty good plan, and when i reach $300, I will withdraw $100 from bankroll.

Thanks guys for reading. Good luck.
