Been making little profits day by day, not really playen hardcore b.c. i have a load of summer work for school which i've totally neglected.

Haven't hit a set in god knows how long but other hands have been worken

forum/viewtopic.php?t=17566

I got a load of money on mansion and have gotten the initial deposit bonus of 1000 applied to my account(which by signing up through pokersavvy i wasn't qualified for), so on top of my continual wins there i will slowly chip away at that. The 1/2NL games there are insanely soft and when my roll hits 4k i will take shots there only on this site. This is b.c. i have notes on all the players(they play 100NL as well) except the avg pot is much higher in terms of xBB.

For example, two games running today had accurate avg pots of 150ish and peaked at 190.

Im still grinden out small pokersavvy promos at nine poker and now seven sultans, a prima skin. The nine poker has cleared really slow but the prima promo only requires 250 raked hands, which is nice and quick.

I still have around 1/3 of my roll involved with this mansion sports bet, but i bet it at -5 many days in advance and so its quite unlikely to reap any financial benefit.

Once I establish myself in the academic spectrum I want to kick more donkey ass then I currently am. I've been booken like 40-60$ dollar days which are decent but not the results I really want. I haven't been getten as many hands in as mansion really only has 2 100NL games runnen usually.

More to come.......................................

My main mindset in poker has changed. I got really tired of set-mining only to be over-setted or runner-runnered or lose in some other dubious fashion. So I've been opening up my style to a lot of changes, especially preflop hand selection and raising (opened up considerably) and post flop aggression. My goal is out-play others and to force them to decisions and I feel that is key in winning poker. Things that I previously felt where insane and ludicrous, as in bluffing has been propping me up during a serious cold run. I had never fired a triple barrel bluff, even more a succesful triple barrel bluff until recently. My newish style has been greatly influenced by the boys over at cardrunners and a seminar I took part in with DeuxexMachin. Nevertheless, I am still on a minor(-2 buyin) down streak that I can attribute to the following hands.

For the past 2,000 hands(my small sample for new style) aa and kk are actually my biggest losers! Please look at the following hands and criticize whatever looks out of order. I am getting a lot more action on my monster b.c. of new annoying raising preflop and 75-100% continuation bets and 3x reraising when I sense weakness. I am the annoying donk at the table who keeps on firing at it and that is my image as of now.

Villain had k spades and ace of clubs rivering the flush.

Hopefully things will turn around, i still have like over 40 buy-ins at the 100's so I am well rolled.

So at fulltilit I dropped toNL25 6-max and do 5k hands to get used to SH play. The plan is then to post stats and have a check up and move to 50 and then 100 all of which i have plenty of roll for.

so far my stats are, well when i learn how to photoshop ill post em.

but for 2k hands im at like 16ptbb/100 so cant be that bad

my vpip is like 20 with a pfr of 10ish

FT bonus clears ludicrously slow here at .47 cents an hour! but i dont really care too much about it right now. I have RB too so it will even out.

Updates to come.

tyrannic,

good to see your transition to SH is going well. It seems that we all will have to play SH if we intend to play NL$400 and further. It's been a few days since your last post. How is it going now?

I have plans to move back down to NL$25 to play SH and move up every 10K hands until I am at NL$100. Then spend like 100K hands there before attempting NL$200. I went there and another damned losing streak started. I am still on it...well, let me know how you are doing.

Later..

Hey Alex, I just pushed past the 5k(hands not profit, lol) mark at 25NL (6-max) and it has been loads of fun. A lot of it was played with 5 people or less and was dramatically different then the dredging at FR. I have learned how to dictate the action at the tables and can push my opponents around like toys. There cards become semi-transparent, and there bets and raises are easy enough to read. Nothing is more rewarding than pushing a weak tight opponent off a hand when he tries to play back at you, and then repeating it next hand. Here are my stats via pt, im gonna post em in the NLHE forum for responses. The money isn't terrible b.c. its hard to have a losing day that stings. I hope you overcome the streak at 200NL but i highly recommend making the move to SH. A lot of the disillusionment I had at FR came from the grinden/set-mining and then nevr getting action on my big hands or getting sucked out on for the thousandth time. GL and ill make sure to update more.

You have been doing greatly and that is good, but i strongly recommend you not REPRESENT ANYTHING ON nl$25. I was playing a bit in those tables and it is impossible to bluff them out of hands. They call and call and keep calling.
