Long session of nl100

So as you can probably see from the last few posts i decided to move up stakes today and take a shot at nl100. I had planned before to do this around the $2500-3000 mark but at the moment im very short of cash and really need to start making more money so that i can make a few decent cashouts and still be left with a roll.

When i started the session i decided on a stop loss of 3 buyins ($300) that i could lose before i had to stop playing for the night. I not sure if this helped me or not but i felt myself playing a little differently the few times i looked at HEM and it said -$250.


The first ~5k hands of the session were very back and forth, win a few, lose a few. I kicked it into gear at one point playing the high varience style that i used to play and managed to mae about $300 from non-showdown pots alone. After about 500 hands of that i reverted back to a nittier style and made sure not to lose too many big pots.

Towards the end of the session i was getting sucked out on and bad beats all over the place and at one point was running $600 below EV! I ended the session after hitting a few nice hands and busting the same guy on two of the different tables i was at, even then i was still $200 below EV having made $730 in the 9 hour session!

I managed to call the river here as i had just busted the guy on another table (he was on 4 of the same tables as me) and i saw him leave all the others. After seeing this calling the river was a little easier knowing he was tilted but it still wasn't easy!
