200 $

Made it to 200 dollars today. Should of been here much sooner but I played like shit for 6k hands on top of a few stack offs loosing to 2 outers. After putting in some volume I've found a few things I certainly have to work on.

1. Tilting - Surprisingly enough, I've been having some issues with steaming and spewing off some chips. Normally I would consider myself pretty solid here. I figure it has something to do with working 1h to go up a BI and then having AA get crack by KK or something like that and have that hour go to waste. I know, I know.

2. Double barreling too often / wrong spots and just spewing in general.

3. Early position small pocket pairs - Learn to play then properly

4. Playing with a deeper stack


100$ more until 5 / 10 shots.

Ivey's expression is hilarious

Red line is improving. Donked off a few times when I shouldn't of. Also found myself tilting when I dropped 2 BI to a bad beat and a bad shove on my part. Made it back promptly though, have to work on that however.

First 100

About two years ago, I had a friend send me $15 and decided to start grinding it up on Pokerstars. Work and other things got in the way and I stopped playing at $50. That money sat in the account until last week when I decided I was really going to give this a go.

I was waiting until I made my first hundred before starting this blog and that happened today. No more 1/2 unless I run terrible at 2/5 nl full ring. Doubt I will have any issues with 2/5 as its the same shit at 1/2, but if drop to 80, I'll drop down and build it back up to 100.

Here's the 50 - 100 graph:





I was playing 4-5 tables for the first 4k hands and 10 for the later half which explains my red line. Currently playing 19.88/9 .

I dont know if it's just me or what, but I've found that min raising UTG results in it getting folded around to me 75% of the time. It seems like 1/2 players really have had it ground into them that any raise from early position is strong lol. EV+

Immediate poker related goal: Get to the point I'm making at least 100 dollars a day.
