aye-- less then a year and you're what, from NL10 to NL400 and over $10k .. kudos

I don't think we are supposed to post links to any rakeback sites on this forum, if you PM me I will forward you onto the one I use that was recommended to me.

Perhaps ask about the e-wallets on the bankroll management forum, there may already be such info there.

Just took a look at your journal, how many hands have you played since you started NL$25? You've gone to NL$400 really fast.

Midweek play did not go well this week, dropping around $1k slowly, mostly in NL200 games. Friday and Saturday have been great however, making $1k on each day at NL400 on cake.

The aggro villain from "my biggest pot to date" has so far been my biggest donator at the level, I think I have his number at this stage. Today I hit 2 sets that held for ~$300 a pop, however I did lose a $1k pot with KK overpair, all the money went in on the turn, villain had top pair and a gutshot straight draw, obv he hit his gutshot. Its a shame because I had a great read on the guy that allowed me to call his turn shove of $300 or so.

Hopefully my solid play at NL400 will continue, feeling pretty good about poker right now.

Played a couple of short sessions on Sunday, the first 4 tabling NL400 and the second two tabling NL400. I dropped x2 buyins on the first session and won x2 on the second.

The two wins were quite interesting vs a total aggro donk.

Effective stacks $400.
I raise [4s] to $14 from the CO, Button (Donk) Calls.

Flop ($34) [5h][3c]
I bet $34, Donk calls.

Turn ($102)
I bet $102, Donk calls

River
I check/call his shove wanting to give a busted flush draw a chance to bet and knowing that a J would almost definitely bet that river.

Donk shows [9d], nice call on flop AND turn sir.

A few hands later I raise KK and he calls with K9 again, he stacks off on a 889 flop obv.

I played 5min of one table NL400 today for +$700.

Hand 1 I flopped top pair of 9s and a flush draw in a blind battle, villain checkraised me holding slowplayed KK, obv I shoved and dealer shipped my flush on the turn.

He reloaded to $300 and two hands later I 3bet him with KK, flop came all undercards as he check/called my 2/3 pot bet, turn was an A and I had no choice but to put him all in, river blanked and he showed KJo, no hand no draw on the flop, gutshot on the turn, tilt much?
