Finally made it back to 25NL.

Old Op:

Hopefully I can remain at 25NL. Transferred $700 BR from PS to FTP for the Bonus and Rakeback. Took about 10 days to get the PS check so in the meantime I deposited $40 at PS and played 5NL until the check arrived. The $40 is now $100 so I cashout today and deposit it into FTP also. Max deposit at FTP is $600 so I did the $600 and then did $100 24 hours after that. Once I get the remaining $100 from PS I deposit it too.

So BR started at $800

First couple of days went ok at 25NL. I was essentially breaking even. The last 3 days haven't been so good but it doesn't bother me that much as I was due for some variance. Plus I've spewed a bit playing calling stations when there was "No way he's holding pocket A's". I'm down 4 BIs but what is nice is that I've already earned $20 towards my bonus and in about 20 FPPs I'll get another $20. I'm averaging almost $10 a day in bonus. The rakeback should start coming in in a week or so. I believe it lags a week or so.

I'm currently 3-4 tabling 6-max 25NL

Goals:

-Remain at 25NL at least until I can clear my bonus. -Fail

-Clear bonus within 120 days

-Learn more about Implied Odds and SPR

-Get better at ranges. Suggestions welcome on how to practice this.

-Play more aggressive. I currently play at 16/10/3 over about 350k hands

-Move up to 50NL within 6 months to a year but I'm in no hurry

-Have Fun and not tilt every time I have a downswing-Semi fail

-Learn the difference between variance and bad play

-Take more notes-Pass

-Sweat Sessions would help alot. When I watched M2M play it helped alot (hint, hint)

-Contribute something of substance to this forum or the other forums

-If I drop to $450 I WILL drop back down to 10NL but I prob won't be real happy about it- Dropped down and not happy so I guess this is a Pass

-Read a poker book (still haven't done this)

-Compile a notebook containing important poker articles to read frequently. Suggestions on what to put in this def welcome. It would be nice to have the Powerpoint presentations from the GS lectures.
Update 12/16: Printed alot of the BC Digest articles to put in a notebook along with Ryan Fee's guide. Need to get the highlighter out. I need to read Fee's guide again as I may understand it better now.

-Learn to Fold TPTK to a shove. I believe this is the biggest leak I have especially to passive calling stations

-Learn how to play AK. I've got the GS vids but I need to watch them more often.

-Just play ABC poker because it's easier than playing FPS poker.
