so i got on this sick heater that has me 24.3PTbb/100 over my last 1400 hands and

87ptbb/100 over my last 280 hands

i got deeper stacked than id been in a while, something like 725bb's deep. heres a picture :O



this is the sickest hand from my little heater - AA v KK v QQ, for whatever reason they both cold call my preflop 3bet with my aces, and the flop comes rag rag rag 3 diamonds and we all had a diamond. SICK?

although id like to think if i were the guy with the queens i would have gotten out of there somehow, or maybe preflop

+ Show Spoiler +

one of the main adjustments im finding in nl50 is that theres not enough weak loose players to satisfy my needs so im having to prey on the weak tights a little bit more; this is really what ive found to be the main difference between nl25 and nl50. so i act accordingly, mainly just proceeding with caution with all the nut peddlers and people that still dont know how to bet.

one of the things that definitely keeps it profitable is that a lot of the players at this level still dont know how to size their preflop 3bets and still have extremely tight ranges so i can cold call their 3bet and break them with pairs for extra profit.

cheers guys, gl on the tables

well, on monday i had a debaucle by getting my money frozen on epassporte and i felt soooo like shit, and i was so tilted that i took a small shot at nl50.. worst possible thing to do, right?

anyway, in my brief shot, i basically ended up in two big pots that i trapped myself in, one i was 56-44 and one i was 39-61 to win, lost both, and then went back to nl25 where i was still struggling.. i think my bankroll took like a 200 hit that day

tuesday i got free tickets to see Toronto FC (soccer) from my fpps which was badass and i totally relaxed and didnt stress about poker

with a real risk of being underrolled for nl25(i made an arguably unnecessary withdrawl of $500 to cover my idiot taxes with the epassporte bs) i fought back and here i am

i know times can and will get a lot worse than this but im happy that i was able to claw back

props to kimseongchan's blog with rocky and shit. holla :D
