My last 200k hands. i need to get another hobby.

[john kane]

these are all the hands since june. sucks i dont have my may hands as i won about $20k in may at 3-6nl. as you can see it starts of pretty high variance as after my success at 3-6nl i was taking shots at 5-10nl and 10-20nl.

i then grinded at 1-2nl till hand 33k where i took a shot and got burnt, again. all the way up till hand 95k was during summer. as you can see summer was pretty bad, constant breakeven, although i did pick up a decent chunk in rakeback. september and october i played a little bit up till the 100k mark and started to play better and win some monies at 1-2nl. i continued at 1-2nl till hand 143k where i took a shot at 2-4nl which went well. however after some breakeven run i went back to 1-2nl till 185k. this has been my last week, played 15k hands. mostly at 2-4nl with some 1-2nl and 3-6nl. up till the last 2k hands it was going amazingly well. ive dropped $2.6k since my highest total which is pretty annoying. played a few hands poorly and had a $1.3k and $1.5k pot where i was 55:45 and 45:55 and lost then both, which sucks.

anyways, who knows where it will go from here. crazy that ive had my best week since may 06 yet ive also had in the last 18 hours my 3rd or 4th biggest downswing in $$ terms.

ill drop back to 1-2nl for about 1,000 hands to get some confidence going and then if that goes okay back to 2-4nl and 3-6nl.





i think one problem is summed up very well in a film, i think a trading film. "how much is enough?" answer: "just that little bit more"

Overall PTBB/100? Would you mind elaborating on that 50K hands breakeven streak between hands 7K-57K? How hard was that on you? Why are you dropping back down?

[john kane]

4.7ptbb/100 for the total 200k hands. pretty poor but i was playing badly for parts of it. my last 100k hands have been 6.96ptbb/100, including this last few thousand hands which have sucked.

the first 95K hands were basically hard on me. just before this i'd smacked 3-6nl and was thinking 'wow, im going to make a shed load of cash this summer'. instead it was 95k hands of crap, pure crap. i played crap and ran crap.

I can't tell from your post whether you are happy or mad about your results?

Most hobbies won't pay you 50 grand.

[DJ Sensei]

wtf dropping down, you havent had a 5k downswing in 200k hands. quit being a nit and make some moves.

[mrcoughman]

[aislephive]

Post all your pt stats JK.

[Isura]

I think we have a thread for this crap. John kane, it could be just that you aren't very good at the poker.
