Day 165 Major Upswing
Had to tap the bankroll for nearly $75. Hated to do it, but it was necessary. Having just moved into our new place finally, there are so many expenses that pop up. My wife and I had plenty of money for the move, but then the car went down and nearly $1200 later, well I think you get the idea. Money is so very tight right now, and add to the fact that my new job started me with less hours than they said they would only added to the headaches. Suffice it to say, that I may have to tap the bankroll again for household needs. I hope it does not prove necessary, but if it does, well we do what we have to.
I started this week with a bankroll of $271 and unfortunately the first day proved a 440 loss. ouch and double ouch when we add the $75 I needed to use from the bankroll for household. Down to a bankroll of $160 or $170 a drop in limits was needed and down to .25/.50 I went. Since I have started seeing very good results with the continued increased aggression I have been showing at the tables I decided to give multitabling another try. Last week or the week before I proved to myself I could be a winner when I monied in 4 SNG's I was playing, but cash games had not been tested, so i decided it was a good a time as any. Man o man what a run I am on this week at the .25/.50 Limit tables. Here are a few stats.
1118 Hnads played.
PFR% 9.84
Post Flop AF 2.78
Amount Won $69.10
12.36 big bets/100 hands
6.92 big bets/hr.
The one stat that is down is my attempt to steal blinds which is less than 27%, but at these levels I don't let it convern me too much. Poker Stars is letting players play 8 tables now and I have been taking advantage of this. I am using a stop loss. 10 big bets down on any table and that table is eliminated. I have neither the time nor the desire to fight an uphill battle at a trouble table.
My table selection continues to be based on small average pot amount as that is the only indication of passive tables I can go by. So far so good as i continue to play looser tables than ever before. My VPIP over these 1000 plus hands is just a shade over 22%. A bit too high I believe, but with the amount of big bets/100 hands I am pulling in, I figure I must be on a good run and getting playable hands.
This multitabling is really ABC type poker and I will certainly not try it at higher levels when i reach them. But for now, it helps build the ole bankroll back up. let's hope this run can continue.
Bankroll is currently at $224.94 but I may have to use the final $17 I have in the checking account. Hope not, but we will see what happens.Statistics: Posted by StarlightCoast — Wed Oct 19, 2005 11:05 pm
