Poker Ladder

5 Tabling

2008-07-11T13:28:00.000-07:00

Well today I tried out 5 tabling on the lowest limits and to my surprise it wasn't that hard and it allowed me to play so many hands that I am always going to 5 table cash games from now on. All together it was a pretty good day with an average amount of bad beats one of which cost me a 3 dollar pot on a perfectly played hand.

Anyways here are the results: I played 1405 hands in 7 hours in two separate sessions. I turned a profit of $9.48 which comes out to a profit of $1.35/hr and $0.68/100 hands or 17BB/100 hands which is a pretty good earnings rate at these levels.

All in all a good day and I intend to try to play about 1000 hands every day for a couple of weeks. At these earnings rates it will take about 4 days to move up in limits but it might take a little longer if I decide to play an MTT or something. My current balance stands at $27.17 and rising. Thats all for now and as always good luck at the tables.

PS- Multitabling rules!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I will keep you updated better from now on. Anyway I decided to try my hand at the sit n goes which started off good. Then I started to play out of my bankroll and dropped down to about $15.00. Anyways since then I have worked it back up to $17 and will continue to play cash games to build the roll. Over the last 500 hands I have averaged 13.4 Big Bets per 100 hands which I'm told isn't bad. Anyways I am going to try to 3 and maybe 4 table the cash games so I can play more hands.

Current Bankroll: $17.69

Session Five not bad

2008-07-02T13:29:00.001-07:00

This session was a pretty good one while somewhat short it still turned me a nice profit. I was called down with middle pair once for about a dollar and then made a 3 dollar hand about 85 hands in. All in all it lasted 94 hands and turned a total profit of $4.60. Not a bad day at the tables and one step closer to poker riches. The account balance equals $25.80. Once again good luck at the tables and pursuing the poker riches.

Session Four tilt

2008-07-01T09:41:00.000-07:00

Well today was somewhat of a short session with only 88 hands and despite starting off well and getting up about 60 cents I took a couple of tough beats and ended up down 97 cents. Then I felt myself tilting after making a bad play that probably should have cost me about a dollar but didn't because the other guy folded. Anyway the bankroll is at $21.20. Still much more than I started with but I obviously hope to play better tomorrow. Good Luck at the tables!

Session Three short but sweet

2008-06-30T13:45:00.000-07:00

Well session three was very short but still a good day. In just 25 hands I was able to turn a profit of $1.44. The session got cut short but I will have more time to play on another day. Anyways I will keep posting and I hope to see you at the tables (and take your money).

Session Two

2008-06-29T04:00:00.000-07:00

Sat down at the 2nl tables today with 3 dollars expecting to maybe win a dollar or two. Things started good and everything started going my way after a while I felt invincible. KK ran into my AA, JJ ran into my QQ, my pairs were flopping trips and my opponents were either horrible or on major tilt. I remember flopping trip 8s and getting called down with a 9 high. A 9 HIGH! Needless to say this was a VERY good session. The entire session lasted 284 hands and I nearly tripled my bankroll to 21 dollars. One more session like this and I will be moving up in stakes. Definitely a step forward on the way up the poker ladder. That's all for now and as always Good Luck at the tables.

Cash Game Session One

2008-06-28T00:47:00.000-07:00

I bought into the nl .01/.02 cash game for three dollars today. There were several ups and downs including lots of getting sucked out on and even getting paid off for a hand once. All in all I made about 60 cents profit in about 150 hands so I guess I'll chalk this one up as a win. I really am somewhat new to the cash games as I am an MTT specialist and if I had the bankroll that is probably all I would play. Anyways I'm gonna have to end this post now because it's three in the morning and I'm going to bed. Good Luck at the tables!

The Bottom

2008-06-27T22:28:00.000-07:00

I've been playing poker for a couple years now but really didn't take it that seriously until somewhat recently. I play on pokerstars and currently have about 8 dollars on my account having never deposited. I am going to try to do a Fergusonesque rise from the super low limits to having thousands of dollars on my account. I personally think I am an above average poker player but then again who doesn't. My username is nevaloseever so come on to my table if you want to play me.

Anyway as you can see from the title I will try to climb the poker ladder (which I don't think ever ends) so stay with me and I will keep you updated and take you on the ride with me!
