Hey, this week has been a bit nuts really, i guess i’ve just been having one of those periods where every time you win a stack you seem to lose one 10 mins later! and of course if you play at 2nl like i am atm then the frustration is tenfold b/c when you lose a hand at 2nl chances are it was a bad beat of some sort!
I’ve had people hitting runner runners, miracle cards on the river to make their 2 pair of Qx a winner vs my AQ, people hitting when they’ve been drawing to a gutshot straight on a flush drawn board, people set-mining in 3bet pots with <50BB in their stack. It’s really been unbelievable at times, and the only thing thats getting me through this ordeal is the fact that i know i’m flying so far above the levels of my tablemates that i’m not just shitting on their heads as i soar up above, i’m dropping lumps of ice turd on them b/c i’m that high up it’s froze by the time it hits them lol
Of course i have been keeping a level head and, trying, not to get too cocky, after all, the winning formula at 2nl is clearly to just get the volume in and play your good hands, even at 6max tight is right this low down. I’m kinda glad that i’m going back up through the limits at the same time as reading PNL b/c it’s giving me a chance to put into practice all of the things that i’m learning, as i’m playing hands i’m constantly thinking on each street about if i want to commit my hand to that certain villain, i’m starting to think a lot more about peoples ranges and choosing better spots to get in that extra value bet on the river, this was something i rarely did before, i guess i was only playing my cards and the villains vpip stats. Something else that i’m impressing myself with is that i’m getting good at putting people on quite a small range of hands from their actions through the streets, i’m not exploiting this too much atm though, after all, even if you do have a strong feeling that someones on middle pair and you should represent the jack or w/e, at this level it just doesnt work b/c the villains really aren’t thinking about what you could have, they just see middle pair and jump around the room while calling every bet you make!
So, bankroll since the last update and a graph for my 2nl adventures so far lol,
Starting Roll: $70.66
Profit: $9.41
Current Roll: $81.30
Which means i’ve had a nice 5 BI week with $1.23 profit from PLO on the side :D
Next month, well i'm quite busy so not sure how much poker i'll actually be able to get in but some rough goals for me would be to:
- Get in 15k hands, not a lot but i'm busy so this would be a good number.
- Move up to 5nl, working on a system where i take 3 BI shots i need to get myself up to $115 in the roll, currently at $81.
- Finish PNL and maybe start reading it again, should be do-able.
- Learn to lay down hands where its clear i'm beat, made some good progress towards this today, making a couple of good lay downs.
Until next time people :P
