brokedown palace - from 2nl to the stars (part one)

I just called a shove with KJs, was up against K8s and 55. did not win.

I sqz'd 99 from the BB vs btn and sb, QJ9ds, and i had the third best hand.

while id rather win, these beats don't affect me and i will keep playing.

i stopped the bleeding at negative $11. kept getting stacked by 80vpip guys.

br is 145.68

still have a chance to reach my goal of 160 before sunday night.

52 buyins away from moving up!

i have found a unicorn. a 100/100 player after 10 hands. stacked this player promptly with KK vs T3o aipf

possibly heatering

bet 41 cents at even odds on the broncos to win

played 4 or 5 sessions today. br sits at 159.17

play is almost exclusively 2nl now (keeping my distance from mtts)

i had a $1 mtt ticket to use. plopped it down for a turbo last night and i placed 3rd for +15

i made 2 micro sports bets today. 54cents on the PATS ML, and a 1 dollar parlay of PATS ML and BEARS +4

bankroll sits at a comfortable 173 aorn . gonna play more throughout the day.

br is 172.71 after a lackluster day at the tables.

the next big milestone is 200. let's say by friday night i'll get there...

i posted my first winning year in 2007. previously i was a net depositor who played LHE.

since 2007 ive had no losing years. i wasn't sure if this was still true, but i bit the bullet and checked my tracker just now and it shows a meager positive winrate for last year. i didn't play nearly enough to be satisfied with either.

i won't be playing much or any live poker this year. i have a number in mind that i want to earn online but i'd rather keep it to myself.

today will be a great day. i purchased a new mattress arriving sometime later... got a sweetheart deal on it , only $700.

betrivers added splash pots to their games on this fine day. anything that makes the games better is a good thing?

br is 173.40, it is monday morning, $5/day puts me close to where i want to be this weekend.

there are 3 tables running. i might play a lot today....

first hand of the day - flop full with 77 on JJ7, srp, A7o goes all-in on the flop and all i can do is call.

just saw a 4-way all-in pre, J9s vs 22 vs AQs vs KTo. 2 on the river.

got stacked with QQ on JJ9hh Tx vs Q8o

action is crazy. i could swing + or - 30 dollars if i grind hard

went looking for this graph and found it in paistings thread. here is my results on michigan pokerstars from 2021-2023

i was playing higher than 2nl...

decent mtt outcome considering i haven't studied beyond harrington on hold'em

i like indiana to have the game wrapped up tonight by the end of the 3rd qtr.

it's the national championship game. im not that big of a sports degen tbh, i prefer micro bets and to only bet the major events.

have small wagers on the over, indiana ml, and indiana -8.

i baked two potatoes for the evening grind. 6p-11 is prime nl2 time. getting carbs in is 👍 ?????

7 players on 2 tables aorn. i might disappear into the night.

at least i had potatoes.

if the board ran out J/J would you laugh at the absurdity?

i would not laugh, but chokeslam my laptop off the roof

i'm a couple clicks away from depositing and having a roll for nl10. but i'm not going to do that. i'm gonna finish my intention of getting to 250 the slow and honest way.

br is 177

received two $5 bonuses. one for playing a bunch, the other for my anniversery of joining the site.

br is 192.74 , the push for 200 starts today.

next stop 250 and nl10 😀

an exercise in discipline does wonders for the soul.

I applaud you and feel honored to be your friend. ♥

site maintenence in 2 mins.

i wake up in the middle of the night pretty often. while it would've been nice to sesh, it was also nice to jam AKdd from the big blind on my first hand, get called by Q2hh, win, and sit out. site is updating now.

br is 208.xx

*maintenance. (but i doubt readers cared)

im going into battle mode. winning 42 dollars and getting out of the nanostakes is now my main objective.

no more blog posts until i get there.

this could be my last post. even tho im 99.9% unlikely to bust my roll, it could somehow work out that i run worse than any other player on earth. in that event ill be at nl2 for the rest of my life. i imagine i would quit playing at some point.

goodbye for now.

Good luck! Hope there's an update soon with you crushing it at 10nl!

thx ice_w0lf. there won't be another update for at least a week.

been battling insomnia the past 2 weeks

i'll give a hint at what is going on:

If the seahawks win the superbowl, i will reflexively be at nl10 😀
