So excited, great party at my friends bar to welcome in the new year...
Decent session earlier tonight, only short but +1bi is acceptable I guess.
As I say here is to the best year of my life.
shakey

So things continuing as they have been of late, 9ptbb/100 over 23k hands so far this month at 200NL... very satisfying results, nearly at $10k mark i set myself for the month and its the morning of the 7th, yayy!! So i pushed all my stats etc in pokerEV the program that assesses your equity on all streets and it shows that I am running below average!! Pretty happy to think that'I'm winning all this dough an no luck at all, long may it continue... I don't ask to run good, jus not run bad :-)

I really want to get more into the CR community and maybe help few other guys too as it will ultimately improve my play to assesing all situations. I have begun to look at the game for ogjectively recently and not get so engrossed in the emotional side of things jus making disciplined and plus EV plays most of the time, thus this nice winrate.

Even today I was getting 3 bet more often and people comin along a bit more when I have been swueezing in seemingly obvious spots but that is ok, I feel my play postflop has improved 10 fold recently, I feel confident even with deep stacks, LAGgy opponents etc.

Ha so I emailed FTP and asked if they could let me withdraw more on my Visa card but there is a limit on the week of 5k lol an I have reached, maximum single withdrawal being like 900 or something, so everyday I sit there waiting for it to open up to withdraw some more which eventually happens, ha a good feeling I must admit.

So although way over rolled for 400NL, I really cannot justify moving up yet all things considered. I am just crushing these 200NL games day in and day out and its less stressful as even though I was stuck like 2 BI's or $400 today at one point I really didn't care too much and it was not affecting my play. Whereas if I move to 400NL and start getting some suckouts from the fish in 250BB pots ie $1000 i think I will be neatively affected and I may get a tad spewy/tilty so I'm stayin at 200NL until the new year when I'll hopefully have tons in the bank and a huge roll for that limit so I can play freely.

On that same topic kind of, I was speaking to a friend of mine who plays like 2kNL and 5kNL and the reason he thinks he kills that game (obviously cause he's a great player) but also the fact that he just looked as a 4 bet bluff as like 30BB's not the dollar value it is like $1500, whereas other players do, and there is another edge for u!!

So lets keep it rollin, GL all

Heres the pokerEV graph :-D

Guys if anyone could help,

Jus looked over the post I made a second ago (below) and I'm really frustrated... I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a guide somewhere to help the quality of the pics I upload, I cannot see them very well at all when looking over the graphs and all the nice big numbers on there :-D

Also i'd like to upload hand histories for discussion on here instead of just using AIM and also some equity graphs etc. But the opton to the right hand side says ''coming soon'' ughhh

Guess I just have to use the pokerhand.com website?!

KK peace all and good luck at the tables

Have been super busy with poker and other things but lots of updates and discussion coming soon, October has started pretty awesome, got some amazing results so far so long may that continue.

Thanks guys and u'll be hearing soon :-)

So been waking up pretty early recently and getting in some hands before I get off to class and what not, also good to speak to people at home. I have been running really great so far in Oct. and have been playing equally as well. Using few new techniques I've been picking up out of the vitalmyth videos I have been watching here at CardRunner about using good line against regulars. Also the nutedawg video I watched entitled ''where's the gold at'' or something was awesome discussing techniques of maximizing value by playing more pots with the fish.

I really believe I am amongst the the best 200NL players at FTP... I know many of you will also be in these games but I am jus grinding a ton of hands and really improving my game against good and bad players alike.

I will not be moving up limits I don't think until into the new year, as I am taking a semester off school to concentrate some efforts on poker and sort some issues out at home etc. Exciting times they, I love what Brian says in the Moving up vids about ''serious $ to be made at these stakes'' and there really is.

So I have been getting quite a bit of feedback thru AIM and MSN, discussing hands etc and although not getting any comments on the blog in the area it offers [ :-(!!! ] I think it is a valuable part of my game and growth and need to use it more!! It is helpin improve m winrate and profit for sure.

Also I do not know what is up with the blog visitor counter on CR, mine has been stuck at 620 for a long time and I know people have been hitting it up!

Ok so I'm going to post a few graphs in the next few posts... I vow to update my blog daily from here on as it helps with logging progress, learning and discussing issues that are relevant to my game.

Made upwards of $7.2k so far in October in only 6days playing exclusively 200NL... happy times and long may it contnue, hope this isn't the doomswitch!!

So check it out and you'll be hearing from me soon :-D
