The swings

Permanent Linkby MrDarling on Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:12 am GMT

Playing slightly out of my BR (around $300 playing the $25NL) every Buyin lost is a big damp on my BR. But I really can't bring my self back down to the $10NL unless my BR will go under $100.

Anyway, had a couple of great days, where I think : I can do this. I can break this level and maybe even make $100 a day (which will be enough for me as a starter) then I get the coolers :

Set of A's

Sure there can be arguments to push on the flop. But I think this was the right play.

I use to check behind on the river. But I figured I'm loosing value here. How in hell can I put him on a back door flush.
If I had more money I would have fold to his raise. But I really had odds to call.

Then I get this hand. where someone decided to slow play their flopped set :

Knew she had a big hand, and to be honest, was worried about 4's. But decided to pay her this time.

Had few more big hands.

I was sort of slow playing , pot controlling the pot on the flop. It really felt like the K hit him.
Should have been an easy fold on the river or better yet, a raise on the flop.

Any way, for the last 3 days I'm recording how many hands I play and how much money is in my BR.
Keep in mind that it went down to $120 less then a week ago.
Now since recording I started with $265 , went up to $380 in a day and a half. Then down to $270 and now I'm around $330. played 3000 hands in this last 3 days.
Still 9BB/100 . Not bad me think.

I was little happy the first day when I had over 30BB/100 :)

Will be happy if I can keep it at that...
