Moving Up

Well I am now a 100NL grinder. Officially. Goodbye 50NL.

I was playing 50NL last week and I was honestly bored. I knew I was rolled for 100NL at 3K and I wanted to move up. The idea of griding out 20 buyins at 50NL was not what I wanted to do. So I jumped.

Since Saturday, I have played 3 sessions and Im up $1200. I am currently 16 tabling and my PT win rate is a little below 3pt/bb. Not bad at all. My roll is now a shade over 4K.

I am also playing really well which is good considering I am actually running quite badly overall.

My three biggest winning hands thus far at 100NL

I also am about to get platinum for September (on 9k this month currently) but I am only 6K vpps from Supernova so that will take over soon. I hope to hit 'Nova before the month ends. Should be able to do it I think.

Oh, and I took a gander at 200NL at the end of a session the other night. Just to see whats what and how the game flows.

good times...
