Renton's Ring Adventure

Renton, I'm kinda in the same spot like you, but stuck in 4-tabling. It's comfortable and I can fit in 4 tables w/o overlap. Did your winrate drop at all when you added more tables? I guess it will, but I also guess another screen would pay itself pretty quickly. Any thoughts? How many hands/day do you play?

I generally play 2-4 hours sessions daily. I play about 500 hands/hour. The quality and style of my play and winrate didn't change. However, I am pretty tight (14.5/8.5). I am fairly confident that I can make between 50 and 80 bucks an hour 8 tabling the 100nl full ring on party.

How do you coordinate that? You plug in another monitor and have 4 on each? Always wondered about that as I struggle to 3 table on my cute little laptop :P

Hope you pulled things together today.

No it still sucks. I did just win a 3 way all in and now I am back up a few bucks

Yes I run two 20 inch monitors. I had to buy a new video card to get a second slot.

Renton's Ring Adventure Day 58 ...

Today is a very special day. My thread has reached epic lengths (2 pages now), and I am now officially rolled for 200nl by the 20x rule. I don't think I will move up quite yet though. Please post opinions on whether I should move up. My plan is to keep on keeping on until I reach 5-6k.

I am such an impatient bastard. Today I ran 8 tables of 100nl and caught some seriously bad beats. Two outer, flush draw all in that hit, etc. etc. and it sucked. I didn't tilt though. I just took a little break, closed all my tables and regrouped.

Then I said, "fuck it, I am rolled for 200, lets play 200." I fired up 8 tables and it sucked. I ran bad for about an hour, made some bad bluffs that didn't work out and had to fold AA on the flop twice. After the first hour I was down one buyin.

Then things just started clicking everywhere. I ran ridiculously well for 3 hours after that and it was good. This is really weird, because I have run bad every time I have first moved up to a new NL level. The next post will provide first hand footage of todays domination.

Oh ya, my bankroll is past 5k now.

Renton's Ring Adventure Day 60 ...

Yesterday I ran ok, and made a cool 300 bucks.

Pretty good day today. After running horrible for two hours (three set<sets in 1.3k hands), I turned around and had a great day, making over 750$ including the latest party reload bonus.

honestly, I am still waiting (expecting) for whatever deity rules the universe to take a giant crap on my chest and cause me to realize this is just a big fluke and I actually suck.

I have heard that is highly possible to run good over large samples of hands (30-40k).

vn renton.... i think you have the game cracked and have a vn solid game)... but yeh even if you were running exceptionally good for a large sample you should be fine seeing as you study your own game and will be looking for leaks, you'd realise and plug/tweak anything soon enough.

You're kicking ass. Awesome stuff dood.
Oh by the way, what's the deal with the party bonus? I read the details and nowhere it says that you have to reload, just that you have to get 150 points in a day. Any chance you can fill me in on the deal there?

Thanks,
Rav.

I don't really know. Since I play massive amounts of hands/hour it didn't take me but a couple hours to clear it.

Renton's Ring Adventure Day 61 ...

Another best day ever. I just keep on having these. Only made one bad call all day (bottom set vs nut str8, still had 30% equity when we were all in). Other than that I played great I think. In whoring news I cleared the other party reload bonus for 100 bucks.

I am almost rolled for 400nl. I think there will be a significant jump in skill there, so I wanna beat 200nl over at least a 25k sample before I get carried away and move up.

I talked with a few peopl in IRC about this. Raising the flop is probably the safest bet, but I usually am willing to give up a little pot equity for a chance to stack two players. Is this a bad strategy?

just in general, if the board is really dry its fine, but when the board is coordinated in anyway way, someone with a nice hand (overpair, top two) might be scared of giving you action if a bad card comes off.

like in that hand, ignoring the guy with the flush draw, if a club comes off then the guy with top two pair isn't going to put all his money in.

with that said, i think its a good idea to slowplay it against good players to mix it up sometimes.

This gives me an inspiration to do well man. Less than 2 months and you have 10k.

Good job.

I am going to try to stash away some serious cash doing this over the summer. I made more last saturday than I make in 3 weeks at my job.

Renton's Ring Adventure Day 70 ...

Ran terrible all weekend. Ran good tonight. In other news, I took a shot at 400nl on sunday night. It was ok, but I am still more comfy at 200nl. I will probably move up when I have around 12k or so.

Renton's Ring Adventure Day 74 ...

I have been running bad for quite some time now. That all changed tonight. I played some 6 max 100nl because I was getting tired of 200nl full ring. I thought change of pace would do well to get me out of this downswing. I had a pretty good session, running like 10bb/100 for about an hour of 6 tabling. Then I decided to play some 400nl full ring, and take full advantage of Friday Night Party Poker softness. It worked out very very well.

In whoring news, I cleared the party reload bonus.

YOU MADE IT!

Wow, congratulations man. Just read through this whole thread, very impressive

"don't lose your mind when you start losing money"

my bud told me that when he dropped 60k and started questioning his sanity, but don't let it happen to you.

Awesome Renton! keep it up

Great job Renton!

Thats amazing man, I wish I could grind.

I can really stay interested at 4 tabling 10 max ring for more than an hour. I think I need to concentrate more and startdeveloping my reads and that should make my play more interesting.

Thats fucking inspirational tho great job.

Any update Renton? And do you plan on transitioning over to 6max / if so when? Im a bit behind you in my progress but have reached >4K$ now at the 100s so should be stepping up to the 200s soon..

Only prob for myself is I wanna move from FR to 5max at some point in the nr future but am a bit warey of the inevitable huge cut in my profits. But I feel I must learn 5max at some point. (more games/action at higher lvls)

I sorta moved all of this over to my blog.


I am transitioning decently to shorthanded, but still play full ring a lot too. I am on a huge downswing right now though. The deck is really cold.
