Progress

I got an email through 2+2 poker forums a few days ago from a pro looking to stake me. I have no idea why me, but I posted a graph the other day on there so maybe that was it. Anyways, I am now playing 100NL with no risk to my roll as he covers all losses, but in return I ship him 1/2 the profits for the next 50K hands. I also receive free coaching and 1-1 questions/answers from a well known full ring pro. Pretty good deal.

I am super excited about improving my game and moving up the limits. Considering I have moved up in the past and was forced back down, the idea of a safety net (ie no loss possible) as well as free coaching from a proven winner is sick. Here is my graph from last night. The first $150 in profit is 50NL then I spoke to my staker online about my play and a few other things and I went back to playing 100NL. Really pleased with the way I was playing. Not because I made money, but just following a few things he said and how I started seeing things I never saw before in terms of position and 3 betting. Hopefully it continues.

The stake runs for 100NL until I hit 10 buyins profit at which point I jump to 200NL.

I also played some pot limit Omaha heads up yesterday as well on top of this graph and made another $130. I think I may buy PT for omaha as I am playig it more and more and really like the game.

Monday is Today (Tuesday is Tomorrow)

Great day today. 24 tabled 50NL for awhile and made about $250 then played some 6 handed omaha for a change of pace and made another $150. Then played some heads up omaha and made another $200 or so. All in all, made about $600+4K fpps which is about 60$.

Considering Im playing all 25cent-50cent games, $600 is a good day.

My biggest hand today. (We had been playing for awhile so my min raise on the flop may look a bit stupid, but in this spot, I dont think it was. He was very aggressive and I had min raised the flop with air twice and he kept firing anyway. I was hoping for the same here)

As soon as I hit 5K, I am moving up to 100NL and I am giving myself a 1K downswing room. As in, if I ever hit 4K I am back to 50NL to grind it back to 5K and 100NL.

Here's to hoping.

Bueller...Bueller...Bueller

I am still here and still playing.

That being said, I jumped to 100NL and a little 200NL but I lost a few buyins and also had to cash out 2K to pay from my new comp. So I dropped down again to 50NL.

However, even though I am back down, I am playing well and getting some good results. My roll is now $4200 (that includes cashing a $1500 Supernova bonus). So I am waiting till 5K then jumping up again, but only 100NL.



Graph for today.


24 tabling 50NL for 4 hours. Plus about 4K fpps = about $60
