Uber grind

Still no NL100 breakthrough. i Havent really tried since my last faliure. Just grinding the shit out of 50NL. comfortably doing 1500 hands/hr! so just reached 150k hands too. took my first "paycheck". wont be keeping more than 3k online anymore (lol) so cashed out 500 today. felt gooooood. i am such a baller i plan to put it straight to the mortgage!

had a 5.5 hour session today. up 7 buyings ($550) wihtin 30 mins then proceeded to get down to $50 lol! finished up $400 thank god but it was depressing. was the most amazing 30 mins ever as i hit a set on every flop, KKvAA hit a set twice o yea i rock.

graf:


So i dont know what to do now. cant seem to get into NL100. crushing 50NL but not making the big bucks. i think i might get into a training site to sharpen my game. prob just torrent vids though haha. i am beating NL50 for 4bb/100 so not awesome but pretty good considering i do up to 18 tables.... i dont know whats wrong at nl100 must be running bad and tilting cause its so much more money.

stars recently updated their FPP system and i get like 30% less rakeback now.... its pretty gay. i want to use another site but they all seem so bad!

still no real positive news on the FTP saga. i dont expect the money any time soon:(

100k NL50

Still havent broken into 100NL! Had another go today with a 6 hour session but lost a little. games are much more agressive than 50NL im sure. Stars might b harder than tilt was perhaps. still i shall keep trying. here is my godlike NL50 graph... I put in 20% rakeback as a guess at the stars reward system. im rocketing along at just over 1000hands/hr!



im down $1800 (-$1000 ev) in 13k hands of 100NL though waaaaaah

so i also compiled all my hands onto one comp, this is the liftime graph since soooo far back. talk about a break even stretch after my NL200 downswing (~360k hans in) haha. o well, this graph brought me a house! god the days of NL200 were exciting look at that gradient

monthly blog

66k hands logged on Pokerstars. It has been a pain trying to break through the 100 NL barrier. Running so bad! 50NL is a dream though. Just hit Platinum star for the month woop! i will go for supernova next year. it should only take a few months if i put in some serious effort.

50NL graph:

unlocked 470/600 of my startup bonus. have 8000 VPP in 40 hours of 50NL. i actually got to 20 tables today ha. now just need to get to the 200k VPP bonuses.... seems impossible atm. might take a shot at 100NL soon tho.

back on the money train

well its been a while since the last post. finally redepositied after losing my roll on FTP. 4.5k NZ sitting on there and chances of getting it back look slim :(

put 600 on stars to take up their bonus. what a scam that is btw. 25k hands in at 50NL and ive unlock half of it. probly about 5% of the people who sign up to have a go at this bonus will actually ever get there before going busto. genius marketing really.

anyways 50NL. playing upto 15 tables. just stacking them and its been really easy to adjust to. i think i could go to 20 tables no prob if i had an office to play in haha. have done 24k hands in 28 hours. with all my bonuses etc my roll sits at $1850 now. so thats 850 earned, 400 via bonuses. so its going pretty well! im looking to get to 2.5k then take some shots at 100NL. once this bonus wears off though by "rakeback" compared to FTP will b much lower. havent taken the time to work it out fully yet.

in terms of live poker ive been pretty shit. i used to keep a physical live roll in a giant wad of cash but now its all gone, spent on rent and crap haha. id rather just spend my scarce free time grinding these days, unless there is a nice home game going cause those r always fun. have been too 'busy' lately to attend though. by busy i usually mean whipped.

hopefully u guys still read this. notice no one has blogged in ages! ill leave u with this hand. god i run good:

100th post

and its quite a milestone. have finally gone, well 'semi' pro. had a talk with the bosses and should soon be doing less hours which means min 1-2 days a week off to grind alllll day! they were surprisingly supportive of my poker haha.

40k hands of 50NL rush so far for a total profit of $1500. 6 tabling it so its about 1400 hands an hour ohh yea. not a bad hourly, but im above ev of course. cant wait to see how this goes....

havent been to live poker for ages which makes me sad :( was going to the casino the other week but the earthquake hit ahhhh.

Oh and also i cant get my pokerstars password. somehow ive forgotten it which seems impossible cause i use the same one everywhere. also my old email is banned for some reason by hotmail so i cant recover it easily. a comedy of errors really.

still rockin the rush

27k hands into 50NL rush and im still going strong. running a it above ev which always helps. started 6 tabling now... 4 6max and 2 9max. just nit it up in 9max playing super standard, seems to be working. trying to build a sample size still so i can convince myself that playing pro is a good idea...
