Rush 50NL

So I have $400 in my account at FT I am going to see how far I can go with this. I always seem to do better when I blog my results. Maybe its because I pay more attention. My plan is to get to $500 before the holiday weekend and then start from there. I plan to withdraw every 2 weeks and build up my roll keeping only 10 buy ins online.

I don't plan to put in a ton of volume, something like 200 to 300 hands per night. I am hoping to play about 10 hours per week, and study about 30% of my plan time each week and do a review of my play from the previous day.

Wish me luck.

Rush Poker

Bankroll $192.

I have played about 900 hands of Rush Poker and am up one buy in at 10NL. I still have not decided if I like it or not. The volume of hands are nice, but its hard to get a read on people because as soon as you fold your off to another hand.

I am moving up to the $5.50 Sngs now and hope after one month to be back grinding $11s.

I still have a step 3 ticket I need to move along. Hopefully this weekend.

I am off.

Just an update

Bankroll $164


I have gotten $12 of that in rack back. That's not to bad. I have played 17 tourneys this month a mix of 9 man and heads up. I am 6 for 6 heads up, these guys at the $2 level are pretty weak and passive. I have I am finally positive in the $2.25 9 mans showing 14.29% over 14 sngs and have some confidence back.

My ROI at the $5.50 is sick 3.16%, but I hope to start playing more than those since I have 30 buyins now.

I also have a step 3 ticket so that's and additional $26 in my bankroll. I plan to play a step 4 and see how that goes.

Not much more than that. Hope to grind it out this month and be back to playing $11s by June.

More of the same old suck outs

Bankroll $101.

I had my bankroll up to $121 but I dropped another $21 tonight. I played 4 $2.25. I missed in everyone. I can't seem to win a race no matter what side I am on. Unfortunately winning those races is huge for your ROI. I hope I start running well soon. Oh an by running well I mean winning 50% of my races, no wait just win 30% of those and I would be killing this freaking game. May is just around the corner so I hope to have a better month.

I have also dropped $20 over 2k hands playing 10NL. I am really beginning to think I am bad at this game. I am starting to think I should move up where they respect my raises but that is just stupid, I want more fish to play with. I am just running bad in these hands too. MY AA and KK hands are getting cracked, I a missing my big draws and hands I dominate are hitting on me.

I just need the variance monster to go away or have Full Tilt turn off the doom switch off. My conspiracy theorist in me is thinking with the legislation going into effect soon they are just serving me up these beats so I go broke then they don't have to pay me and I wont be able to deposit.

Anyways, maybe I should take the next few days off and just relax and start back up in May.

10 days of break even poker sucks the big one.

I lost a about $25 this weekend playing 10NL. Thanks for the suck outs Full Tilt. I did recover some of the winnings playin 6 sngs last night. I am still down in the $5.50s but only a few buyins now.

I played 2 $1.10 45 man sngs and scooped a win out of won for a net of $15.00. I plan to just play SNGS until this weekend then see what will happend hopefully I will take off. I am currently one week behind schedule.

Current Bankroll $101.

Played 8 last night with 2 min cashes. I took 2 terrible beats on the bubble.

Interestingly enough I have 9 bubble finishes in 25 games. Of those I have been 70/30 favorite 3 times, 30/70 dog once and flipped 5 times. I am not running particularly good. Overall I am down $7.00 over the 25 sngs. I hope something changes soon. I plan to play at least 25 this weekend.

I did win $9.00 in the 10NL game so thats at least positive.

5 days into this and I am break even so far.

Moved back to Full Tilt

So, I pulled my roll of of Poker Stars and moved back to Full Tilt. I did this for two reasons. First I get rake back at Full Tilt and right now that is more than the FFPs at Poker Stars. Secondly I am not thrilled with the new buy in amounts at Poker Stars.

So my challenge is to deposit $100 on FT and when I get 20 buy ins for the next level I will take the shot. My current bankroll is sitting a $2k so I don't really see this as a problem, I just want to get back into SNGs and Tourneys.
