I wish I had motivation to grind this month. Tomorrow I'm planning on grinding out a couple thousand hands given that I've probably only played close to 3 thousand this month.

I've only played 1500 hands this month of 6max NLHE, down two buy-ins. Too busy to grind it out so I am playing a lot of $5+.25 HU SNG instead but less poker overall. I have won 8 matches in a row. It's lol how bad people are, bust out on first blind level on flop as 80/20 dog. Wish I had roll to play HU cash.

Rake is a killer until you get to the 1/2 and up hu games.

my brother plays those HU SNG's too, and slaughters them. I watched hi play some and its like he's printing money.

I might give it a go, I have heard a few people say they are very easy, and its always good to get some HU experience.

Agreed, I think HU is pretty important for improving your game overall; for the time being I'm gonna focus on 6max and really try to just play good solid ABC poker(something that has thus far eluded me). [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

so i didnt think i was doing too well at 5NL but i was basing my opinion on whether or not i could crush a month. however, looking at my stats today i noticed that im up 18BI and running almost 14bb/100 over 13k hands. would you guys consider that sufficient to move up?

my graph seems to be all over the place. i think im overplaying a lot of TPTK type hands and getting stacked, however i am able to stack quite a bit with nut flush and boat hands so it works its way out.

as shown, im $76.21 down with one pair hands and green in every category above that. guess i should slow down with those a little. my gosh the stats make me sick, im been stacked so many times with TPTK-TPGK. ugh.

anyways, thoughts?
