Yeah okay so tast few days have sucked the testicles of whatever barnyard animal that tickles your fancy.

Since Sunday I have almost 5K hands in and I'm up a little less that a buy in, I'll have to make sure I don't blow it all in one place... Really want to make sure I spread it around.

Looking over everything stats nothing really have changed as far as my nit style of play is concerned, which seemed to be working for almost 50K hands. I tihk my biggest problem ATM is that AA, AKo, AQo, AJs are all money losers for me for the last 5 days.

This really wasn't the morale booseter I was hoping for going into NL100.... Well I have a little over 2K hands to go before I reach my goal of 25K hands. For the month so far I'm still up a few buy ins, which is obv better than losing.

I had a hand that aggrevated me, partly because I tried to play it maybe a bit tricky...I dunno I thouhgt the concept was great but it failed in execution. Hand plaed out like this:

5 handed:
Villian (UTG)- $42.00
Hero (Button)- $81.00

Villian opens for a pot raise of $1.75... Now my read on this guy was he basically opens and Ax hand. If I 3 bet him he may just pitch it right there. So I likely have him dominated and I now he'll be betting if an A happens to flop. so I falt call and the blnids fold.

Flop: Villian basically pots it for $4 and I call. Since there was a possible 4 flush out there I didn't want to jack it up and have him shove with a FD and flip a coin... So I smooth call.

Turn he bets $9 into about $14 I raise it up and set him in... He calls and tables A6 for 2 pair and I don't improve.

That hand will bother me for a while now.... Maybe I'll go play some O8 for a bit and unwind.

Managed to put together a decent session to finish up about 3 buy ins. Best hand of the night is right here http://cakepoker.com/HandHistory/?Hand= ... wM3Exsw%3d

I have about 1200 more hands or so to go before I hit the 25K hands played mark. Which I should have done within the next few days. Once that hits I'll be taking the next step up to NL100. If my results manage to be similar to how I'm doing at NL50 I would be rather happy. Only thing I hate about leveling up is loosing a stack or two at a new level. I remember moving up from NL25 to 50 I think I stacked off early in the first session... which I guess was good because I got it out of my system early LOL. Maybe it's like taking off a band-aid... Just gotta stack off real quick and get it over with.

Also coming to grips that I might have to open up my game at some point in the future and get a little more LAGgy in my game. Apparentlt LAG works a little better at 100 than at 50. Juess I'll see soon enough.

Well last nights sesson sucked, I started off up a little over a buy-in, and stopped when I was about even....

Then I noticed I was only like 40 hands away from hitting the 25K hand mark. So I figured I'd fire up a few tables again to reach my goal so my next session would be at NL100. I promptly lost 2 stacks within minutes of each other. 1 was against a guy who caught a gutshot the second I called a PF raise OTB with ATs against a guy who really pushed his hands. Flop came ATx all diamods (I had none) he pots and I call. Turn bricks and he shoves a full stack into a pot worth about 10-12 I call he has AQ with the Q of diamonds and rives a 4th diamond. Had another point where I was flush over flushed against a shorter stack as well which put me down over 2 buy-ins. Also had to ditch the only AA I had for the night after a station called PSB's on the flop and turn on a very draw heavy board when the river brought every possible draw possible then he leads into me with a suck bet... Lots of fun to break 40 extra hands.

Grinded for a bit more than I wanted and finished down about 1.5 buy ins. So the good news is I hit my mark of 25K hands and will be moving up to NL100 in the next session. After 25K hands my WR is right around 6 ptBB/100 +/- .5BB or so (depending if it's winning or losing session) which I'm guessing indicates I'm doing alright at that level.

So tonight is the big jump for me, hopefully running goot right off the bat happens.

Also I'm sure I'll get cashout cursed for a while as well so that should be nice. I guess all that's left to do

dup

Well that was fun....



AA 4 times in the session and it's my biggest money loser
Here was one hand where I had notes on him guess I played with him at NL50 or lower as being a shitty player. http://cakepoker.com/HandHistory/?Hand= ... wM3Exsw%3d

Another time a guy flopped a set and I stacked off with AA.

KK with the on an all club flop against 66 and he turns a 6 no help on the river.

Basically every big pair I held someone hit a set on me

Ended on a positive though... I really don't even know why I played the hand this way but I'm guessing I won the most this way. Actually the original raiser was a bit on the loose side he kept popping it if it folded to his SB against me on several occasions and I really had nothing even worthwhiile to fight back with... I think I made back the few bucks he stole from my blinds though.
