Category: Bankroll Update

Well, I am into day 3 of moving up into the FR 50NL games. I would like to see whether I still break even playing here or lose a ton of money. My bankroll is doing okay, got an injection of $485 for two bonuses already in Sept. I have to play alot of hours […]

I have mixed feelings about when 3 betting is most useful. Typically there are 3 situations when you can 3 bet, and they are. 1) You have AA/KK and some one open raises in front of you. If you are an agressive player you can include AK to 3 bet. The problem I have with […]

This is a really simple planned strategy for short stacking PS 50BB tables. This plan is having a plan in the first place. Okay, here it is, first of all there is No shoving your stack. These tables are filled with 100BB players, while you have 1/2 that amount. No true short stacking here for […]

First I am sorry for kinda letting you all down and not blogging recently. I got really fed up being a break even player. I made the bonus, and the points. I DID NOT MAKE ANY MONEY, though I didnt lose either. I was so deflated. Poker Stars has specials for bonuses this month and […]

I was gonna write an update on my bankroll/bonus challenge that is coming to an end in about 3 days, but I noticed these little tidbits as I was reviewing my hands. I was going to initially write about bad beats destroying my challenge and now I am not to sure if its only the […]

I was really surprised that some of you all thought that AA was the losing hand. My AA is a 91.5% winner for over $1728.00 (191,000 hands) seen 874 times (25NL) and that equates to close to 2.00 each time seen. How do you play AA? Do you play it differently than KK? Do you […]

Lets set aside my current challenge for a moment (actually this probably is why the cash part is losing). I am a winning player this month. I played 130,000 hands, I won $269.00 Yes, I am a winner but under what circumstances? I played 40 hrs a week, won 269 or 1.69 an hr, winning […]

Well, I thought that since I am half way thru my challenge I would blog alittle about my week grinding it out. I started last Sunday and my schedule went as follows…. Monday-Friday is pretty much the same. I wake up with the wife around 6:30 a.m and drink coffee, and chat. Then I play […]

Yesterday was the opposite of my daily poker routine. I won, then lost it back. Usually I lose, then win most of it back. Yesterday you could play any two cards against my premium pairs and win. My win rate for AA is usually between 87% to 91%, and yesterday it dropped to an unbelievable […]
