Bankroll 8/21/09: 1.5 grand

I want to start updating this weekly - but everytime I finish a session I have to get ready for work so I'm not able to post many hands/strats. I just wanted to give a bankroll update and I'll try to add some hands later tonight or sometime this weekend.

I've played less than 10k hands at 50nl and I'm running at 3.91BB/100 so far and can hopefully keep motivated to keep playing. I've been having trouble getting motivated to play this month as I've been reminded by my cousin/new roommate daily that I've been making hundreds - he wonders why I don't want to play... (more on that later)

Also I just ordered my first purchase with poker winnings. I got a new snowboard for this season and I'm totally pumped about riding it.

So I suppose this post is just a brag.

Keep up the grind.

See you at the tables...

First 1k

I'm writing this today feeling like a champ. After 2 years of grinding the micro's and putting in countless hours trying to fix leaks that every poker player has - and plenty of rake-back, I finally reached the 1k mark. It feels great.


I guess one of the biggest things that has helped me get here was putting people on ranges and playing against those instead of putting them on exact hands - at least until you get good enough at handreading. I've been coaching my buddy and watching/playing 5nl/10nl trying to find out why it took me so long to beat (I still haven't actually beat them - just been staked and beat the rake).

I'll make a strat post in the next few days but I just wanted to post this because I've been quite happy. I've played a few sessions and this is what the bankroll is at tonight.
