Well, I know its been awhile... these past 2 or 3 weeks have been pretty good to me. Since my last post I played about 10-12k hands of 50NL and got up to 30BI for 100NL, so I decided once more to take my shot. However, this time I scheduled a lesson with fruity where he would ghost me playing 100NL, well I ran sick and went +320 in 350 hands of 4 tables with him, so I paid for my lesson, another $270 in the bank.
I think it was critical for me to play with fruity and have him show me a few spots where I may have had some leaks, and also just for my confidence, I knew I could beat the game I was just gunshy and scared of the money.
I started playing 100NL strictly on May 28th, and since then Ive been doing pretty well... running at 4.3BB/100 over 15k hands, for a profit of $1,300. The thing Im happy about is I've had some sick variance in here, including two 400BB pots that I lost, one with nut flush AI on flop and guy turned boat, and the other was med set on a 468 board with two hearts, and the MFer pushed AI with Ah3h and didnt make a flush, but even worse a straight!
So even with a goood amount of variance thrown in their, Im still a 4BB+ winner so far and the money is significantly larger than what Im used to. My BR is starting to turn out pretty nice, once I get my rakeback on the 15th I'll be over 5k for my first time ever... woohooo!
Anyway, I'll stop tootin my own horn here and just say that my goals for June and the rest of summer pretty much is to play atleast 35k hands a month, and just play smart poker like I know how and let the results come. I don't have any huge urge to jump to 200NL right away, I think Im going to get my roll to atleast 7k before I take any shots there, and if it goes well then I'll obviously move up. I want to become more involved with the CR forums, watch a few more videos, and also update this blog more often. So look back for some posts soon to come!
