First Month Results
 

I just finished my first NL month, and I'd like some feedback if that's alright. The first week and a half were at 25NL, the rest at 50NL. I don't think I'll be moving up until I have at least 100k hands at 50NL and can beat it for at least 5PTbb. How is my progress thus far though? Sometimes I think I may be doing well, other times perhaps I should be beating it for more by now, any thoughts appreciated. My goal is to be able to make $40/hour by Jan1...right now I'm at $15.

Stats - 16/11/2 when I first started, I've slowly loosened up to a 22/18/3. Started off playing about 1500 hands a day and 4 tables and am now at about 3k hands a day 6-8 tabling.

Thanks.

I don't understand ? What is the first graph and what is the second graph ?

Post your actual stats in table form too plz

Re: First Month Results
 

Graph points up, you're doing good.

Can't really draw any other conclusions from the info given.

Is this 6max btw?

100% solid plan, just make sure your BR is in order.

you play at party. I hate you [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

WTF happened around 11k. that's pretty ugly.

If I can do math, you are up ~1200 @ 50 NL and 300 @ 25 NL.

Hmm, just curious why you moved up. Obviously the results ($$) are there, I just hope you fixed whatever caused the downswing at 25NL.

It was a small downswing, nothing unusual about it, standard

Yeah, looking at it from a buy-in perspective, it's nothing that drastic. Just at first glance it seemed severe. (10 buyins or so)

This is something that some might disagree with, but consider playing a little 100NL ever now and again. Maybe one day a week, instead of playing 6-8 tables of 50, try 2 tables of 100. I think getting a taste of it isn't a bad thing before you are ready to make the 'jump.'

You might go for a bath, but it might help revive you a bit since there's a little higher stakes which could spark your interest and get you out of a potential future rut from grinding up over xxk hands.

first graph is 25NL...second graph 50NL

I'd rather not post full stats considering my name's out there, thanks though.

Please bare in mind the 25NL graph I was still basically a fresh rookie, downswing or me just playing badly who knows....Now I feel more like an intermediate rookie, still have an absolute ton to learn before I move up to 100NL IMO...I don't want to keep grinding out microlimits forever of course, but, I also don't want to rush things, fail, and then ruin the high I'm on right now of actually winning and doing semi-well considering. I wanna bring myself to a point where when I take the shot at 100NL, I can stay confident and strong if it fails...that requires a lot more of 50NL for now...I'm only beating it for 3bets....who knows could be even less, could be running well for all I know at this point.

Just wanted a rough idea of how I'm looking after the first month...your thoughts are appreciated.
