The Girl Who Will Turn 1,000 Play Money into 1,000,000 Play Money into $1,000

My bankroll is comfortably in the high $150s now which means I'm beginning to contemplate moving to 5 NL. I have learned a lot (especially in regards to aggression and position) and I've set a very comfortable betting pattern and range analysis. I'm looking at other people's stats quite frequently and thinking about their betting, raising and three-betting stats. It makes it easier to identify fish.

I won two tournaments recently (both with four players) and I'm feeling more confident about my tournament skills. Sometimes I have difficulty adapting my cash game play into tournament play, but I try to do the same hand analysis on both mine and my opponents' hands.

I'm going to make it a priority to post more hands in the upcoming months. I'm really excited to try 5 NL in April if my bankroll allows for it. I'm a little intimidated by the jump in pots and bets (and skill?), but I'm excited to collect WAY more VPP than I do at the moment. It takes forever to get my $10 bonus!

Some stats for 2011:

Number of sessions: 135
Number of hands: 49,761
Hours played: 107.28
Profit: $92.75 (not incl. tourney wins)
9.3 bb/100

18.3/7.7/3.2

Multitabling comfortably with 10-12 per session

Until next time, friends!

You need to reduce the gap between ur vpip and pfr%.

Ideally the ratio should be at around 80%.

Either stop limping/calling so much pre. do this by either just folding, or raising instead.

if your vpip is 18, your pfr should be around 16. But something like 12/10, would probably be good as you seem to be fairly tight as far a raising goes - you're at 7% now.

Good job. I guess it's been a long time since I stopped in. I admire your patients and bankroll management skillz!

Remember they are not dollar amounts but only big blinds!

Don't do this when you make your move up. Start off EXACTLY like you did at 2nl which I am assuming was playing a single table until you were comfortable, then you added a table. Rinse and repeat. Well do exactly that once you move up and boom success just like before!
