See, again your bet sizing is too small preflop.. especially if you're out of position for the rest of the hand.. I would make it about $6 to go preflop (even though you got really unlucky).

Postflop I love the way you played it.

As for your bankroll question, I would play nl25 until you hit $350-400, then move down..

hello unl!

I am happy to say that I have started playing poker again, and what better way to celebrate than posting about my first day back on 2+2 even though no one will read it.

small beats, big brags:

A little about me: I was playing 25NL in december, and ran on a sick heater up to 200NL by early jan. Sadly, as friends pointed out, i was spending way too much time playing and took a break while cashing out 3/4 of my BR. I've played a little in between, but only to show guests, family/pass time/ steam off anger and never above 100NL and never more than 2 tables at a time.

Today I was supposed to attend a tourney at uni campus that would mark my new "start" to poker, however last night's heavy drinking had me getting up 2hours past tourney start time. Kind of pissed I decided to load up PS, open 4 50NL tables, start PT and PAhud and get playing again.

Unlucky me, right off the bat:

Before his all in raise, villain said:
allinchiko said, "hmmmmmmm"
allinchiko said, "kk"
And left before the next hand was dealt.

Fighting the urge to quit and smash my brand new laptop, I convince myself to hang in there and try to play a long session. I decide to really concentrate on my play, and attempt to avoid some fishy mistakes I am used to accumulating.

A couple hours later, after playing decently and running well, I'm sitting with 5 BIs on the same table and really enjoying playing again. Why did I ever quit in the first place? I wonder.

A funny hand:

My actual thoughts on the river:
"AK? smells like AK... there are more AK than TT combinations, gamboooooooooool"

The graph:

Yay for 8BI days, soon SSNL again. Note the break even at the top, I think 1k5 hands is all I can handle, maybe 1k hand sessions should be enough in the future.

Nice, gj kbrat, I've seen you around a bit, you play good.

thing85 · #**846** 02-18-2007, 04:35 PM

[censored] you, February. Currently on a ~14 buy-in downswing at 50NL.

thac · #**847** 02-18-2007, 04:56 PM

thing85 - our last 3k hands look almost the same..

..except yours is upside down.

thing85 · #**848** 02-18-2007, 05:34 PM

I would suggest that maybe you're winning my money, but I'm pretty sure that I've been making the fishy donks rich lately. Unless you're a fishy donk, you probably have someone else's money.

In other news, I've made so many Sklansky dollars this month.

thac · #**849** 02-18-2007, 05:37 PM

Sklansky bucks > real bucks IMO. And at least you made a decent amount of FPP.
