Still playing and watching videos on CR. Still think the best videos for my level are Verneer and MdoranD's. I've been playing around with my opening range for UTG and I'm finding that unless there is a fish who i'll have position on, that usually suited connectors are very difficult to play. I haven't ran a filter, but I have a feeling I lose money or just about breakeven with them.

Another thing I've noticed is how important table selection is and just because there is a whale at the table it doesn't mean that it will be profitable. When I have a loose aggro player to my immediate left, it seems to be negative EV. I tightened up my range and sometimes have stacked the LAG, but I find it just so difficult to play OOP.

Over 35k of hands at 10nl I'm at 7.5bb/100. I'm not sure what exactly is good to be beating a certain limit, but I'm steadily moving up so I'm happy with that. I've also seen that it Verneer's videos that he was running at 12bb/100 so that is soemthing to aim for in the future.

Should I go for 25nl? I think I'll play up to 50k hands at 10nl and providing my winrate is steady and I feel I'm playing well then I'll move up. Anyway other than that the football has been good to watch even though England went out in their usual classic PK style to Italy. I'm rooting for Portugal to win now. Basically anyone, but Italy :p

I've played from 2nl, 5nl and I've been playing 10nl 6max for a while now. Before when I played, I was mainly playing for fun and not concentrating on my play and was break even over 55k in hands at 10nl. I really do enjoy reading and learning about poker and thought I should try and play less tables, think my hands through as carefully as I can and just try to play some sensible none tilting poker.

I've had some lessons from one of the cardrunners pros before and found it to be really worthwhile. Whilst I took the advice and made notes, I still felt when I was playing on my own, I'd make some very big mistakes. I'd do well, then if I got stuck, I'd open my range up, and just tilt off my winnings.

So I have been watching Climbing Mt Micro by Verneer and MdoranD's videos and making notes as I go through the videos and also pausing the hands and testing myself to see what I'd do in that spot. It's been pretty interesting to see the different play, but in many spots I thought of doing something similar.

I don't get to play too many hands each week as I'm working and can be busy during the evenings too. I usually play around 3 times a week, 4 tabling and play for around 2 hours. My last computer died and I don't have my old database, but I remember being -2bb/100 over 55k hands playing 8 tables @ 10nl 6max. I feel I've been playing well recently and 4 tables seems about right. I don't think I could play anymore than that at the moment.

Here are my results of 12k of hands at 10nl. I'm going to continue to watch the videos here and read the two plus two books.
