4.5BI @ NL50

Just had a short 500 hand session where i made 4 1/2 buyins at nl50, a couple of the big hands where when i cbet a T9x flop with AQ and then check shoved the turn against a player who i have played with lots at NL100 and also seen play at nl200/400. He made a good call with 88 but unfortunately for him my Q hit on the river.

Another hand i get AA in the small blind, utg limps, i make it $2 (4x) and then utg min-reraises to $3.50. I pop it up again to $9 and he instashoves for $65 effective with......... QKo. I take down a nice pot of $140.

I felt i played a few hands badly in the session. Both were pretty similar and i think i just missed out on value on the river by betting and not checking and letting them bluff off when there draws missed on the river. Obviously they didnt have to have draws but the fact that they folded after calling big bets on the flop and turn believes me to think that they did.

My session stats were a lot higher than they usually are, i think this is mostly due to the fact that i played 6 tables rather than the 10-14 tables that i might normally play where i run at about 20/16.

Mid year update

So i decided to start blogging again to keep track of how poker is going for me, i thought that it might help me get into more of a routine and help me grind it out.

I dont really want to go over everything iv been doing the last 4 months since i last updated but lets just say its been pretty up and down between NL25 - NL200.

April i had a good run at NL100 and made around $5000 in a few weeks, most of which i then cashed out and tilted off the rest between NL200 and NL100.

I was busto at one point in May and decided to use up some ftp points that i have tons off so played in a s&g and won a $24 tourney token. Anyway i played in the tourney and heres how it turned out:


June didnt go too well, i mainly just broke even and then lost a decent amount towards the end of the month.

July was a great month for me. I got in a lot of volume and managed to play around 75k hands in the month, most of them at NL50. I had to cash out a large amount of my roll at one point leaving me with just $150 in my account but even after that i managed to get that upto close to $2000. Towards the end of the month i decided i would take a shot at NL100. The shot didn't go well at all and i ended up losing just over 10BI's which was a horrid result. After that i took a break for the remaining week playing a bit of PLO every how and then.

Heres how my monthly graph looked;


So tomorrow were starting off a new month, i have a BR of $450 in my account after cashing out $300ish and just over $1000 coming from rakeback which normally arives on the 10th. I think my bankroll management is still ok. I will still be grinding NL50 and every now an then be taking shots at NL100 when i have around $2k.

Bankroll: $450 + $1000 rakeback
