Month 2, Day 24

Not going to play today, which feels terrible because it's sunday and it's still within the 100% rb. I'm not feeling too well from the couple sessions before, and i'm taking a break today.

ps: i didn't notice a traffic increase during the weekends tbh. probably mean there's so many regs and not many recs? haha

GG BR: 1347
Coin BR: 1047 (+RB from yesterday)

Still the single biggest win week since I started to play (despite playing quite ****. All due to the rb!)


Month 2, Day 25

Yurrrrr up 4bi pre rb. Mainly played bomb pot because ante table is really all regs (like not exaggerating, i opened all the tables and there would only be so few people with weird preflop. and half of them are like that because they do 1v1) that i've tagged to have normal preflop stats. bomb pot however has rec way more often 😀)). Don't know any bombpot strategy, probably should think about that.

GG BR: 1347
Coin BR: 1147


Month 2, Day 26:

Yurrrrr extremely deprived of sleep so only played 20 minutes but up 2bi!! I am running gooood!

GG BR: 1347
Coin BR: 1230 (+40 from rb yesterday)


Month 2, Day 27:

Yurrrrr solid session again. Probably lost too much overbluffing against 5 people by overbetting in bombpot lol. Need to adjust my bomb pot strategy. Honestly clueless. Also overplayed a two pair and skrrrtttt 130bb byebye!

GG BR: 1347
Coin BR: 1305 (+7 rb)


Month 2, Day 28:

Whap Whap not solid session. Lost 2 buyin, including one JJJTx board and villian SRP donk shove 4x pot. I didn't think too much before calling AA. Realistically, should've folded. Rakeback gets us breakeven though.

I feel hella insecure and the feeling of "im due to lose" after playing good sessions. Now I feel good for some reason. This gotta be a mental leak

GG BR: 1347
Coin BR: 1292 (added yesterday RB, didn't add today RB)


I haven't reviewed my game for so long since playing coin. One part of the reason is i've been winning overall, but also because coin just don't have a convenient way of reviewing hands. Fahhhh


Month 2, Day 29

Whoops Tragic Day

-5bi biggest losing session ive played ever -125$ haha

kind of run bad, including a 150bb AA postflop, river jammed against villain's flopped set K. -150bb

3bp x-jammed AKw/ backdoor flush on an all-low board, seeing villain stab b50 OTF. Thought it was a weird sizing because in theory it doesn't exist, but meh that only means they are stronger. This one is punt. -100bb

345 flop one dude donk, another dude raise, I jammed top set -100bb. I guess this is fine. Ran into flopped straight.

One hand K23 3bp I 3bet K5s BB vs BTN, got raised by IP villian OTF, called with, turn is 6 brought me flush draw. Villian bets small I had to call. River 40bb left he jammed I sadly called. Should've folded river there despite the odds. Just no bluff at that point. Showed 45. Flop read was right that it was bull ****, maybe should've clicked it back. -100bb

GG BR: 1347
Coin BR: 1248 (+25 rb from today yes I have to add it in to save my broken heart and make the number look somewhat better heehee)


Month 2, Day 30. Mental Health day from big loss yesterday

Studies some since a long time. Also came up with precautionary procedure of terrible session due to lack of sleep. I usually do at least 8 reg tables. Now I will follow strictly that if I lack sleep, max table = 6.

GG BR: 1347
Coin: 1248


Actually Coin BR 1235. let my friend to play nl10 for a bit, didnt end well


Ughhhh

Coin BR 1196 post rakeback running bad... Dude i can't even have access to stupid ass HH and review!

Tilt


Month 2, Day 31. Slack day because yesterday I decided to play in the night and not go to sleep and today I feel like a pig. End of Month 2!

Well this month I am not too happy with, to be honest. I didn't play as much as I wanted but honestly I shouldn't blame myself too much I was sick for couple days, spent many days traveling, school work was on my ass as well.

I got my GG BR from 1050 to 1347 and Coin BR from 530 to 1196. By results, it's actually quite good, compared to the first month, it was GG BR 600 -> 1050. But so much of coin's br is from rakeback, and I am only slightly winning a bit more than breakeven after 15k hands on Coin. The results of the last couple days pretty much tanked all of my win rate. I guess i should look at it more positively: it's my first shot at nl25, and im still getting used to reg tables, figuring out how many tables I can play under what condition etc.

Let's get back to it tomorrow, hopefully! I am on spring break, visiting a friend, so I'm not living according to my normal lifestyle. So we'll see haha.

GG BR: 1347
Coin BR: 1196


Month 3, Day 1

Got Butchered Again :(

GG BR: 1335 (played some PLO yesterday night with friend lol)
Coin BR: 1111


Putting a pause at month 3 day 1 as I need to find an internship. Can't play happily with too much stuff bothering me.


Yea I lied I still played some hands during the past month. This would be Month 4, Day 5?

GG at 1800 and Coin at 1400 right now after running insanely hot for the past couple days. I do have a close to breakeven win rate, so my math isn't really mathing where the money came from. Might be rolled for nl50 soon? Will probably spend some more time to ensure I'm beating the stakes

GG BR: 1800
Coin BR: 1400
