So i was able to upload another $100 and that plus my $25 winnings pushed me to just about where I wanted to be to move up. So I went ahead and just did it.

Final 25NL stats:

16310 hands played
15.35bb/100
+$625.90

I've been more disciplined since moving up as far as how many tables I'm running. I won't lie, I've had 6 tables open for a few hundred hands. However the majority of the time I'm only opening 4 and my play is better as is my win rate.

Things have been a bit swongy. Had AA and KK cracked multiple times and I'm pretty sure more than one of them was a fold. Otherwise I think I'm adjusting pretty well and other than a bit more 3betting/aggression I don't see a huge difference between 25 and 50NL.

So far:



and since I took the picture I picked up a couple decent pots so its a bit higher win rate than that. but im too lazy to take another screen shot. Up 3 BI as I type. yay :P


March Hands played: 37,677
Moneys added to Roll: +$966 and some pennies

I'm going to type this now: if an otherwise station-esque villain raises me on a dry board when I have an over pair or TP...proceed with caution.

I mean, I fucking know that. so just a little reminder here. And thanks to Spoon's lecture in IRC I now know I neither study the game, my game nor life in general nearly enough to make it as a poker player. I do spend time studying, hours. but it is not nearly as much nor as focused as it should be. I gotta get on that.
