Not up not down

Well, it has been a while so I figured I would blog a little.

About a month ago, I did transition to the $25 6 max nl games.  Things went well enough that I slipped into some $50 games.  Actually my win rate has been better there than at the $25.  But my win rate has been nothing to brag about.  I think I'm winning about $4 per hour.  Playing the slightly higher stakes does get me more rakeback than I have previuosly been used to.  So that is a nice plus.

Moving up

Alright, some or most of you will shake your head I know.  I really broke protocol as far as bankroll management is concerned. 

I am moving officially to the $25 buy ins.  Just got sick of playing the $10.  Up and down up and down! Like a yo-yo.  The part where I went wrong was I cheated a bit and played 800 or so hands at the $50 tables.  I just played 1 table at a time and found it to be much easier than playing 4 tables at the 10$ buy in.

Heya!

Had a rough couple of weeks, only played about 3000 hands.  In the first 2000 hands, I kept getting my teeth kicked in playing for stacks.  I swear I was running sooo bad.  First, I had AA, I got 1/2 a buyin in the middle preflop.  The flop came AQQ and I lost.  The truth is I could have just made a call on the river as I suspected the villian had QQ, but it seemed that they would have played similar if they had AQ.  So, I got it all

Played a little this week!

Busting my hump again all this week.  Only had Sunday off. I wanted to play poker and work on my site but I was just too tired.  I did manage to squeeze in 500 hands this evening and was able to gain 2 more buyins.

 I had a choice of working on my site or playing poker.  It is easy to see where my priorities lay I guess.  I was definitely more in the frame of mind for playing than working.  Honestly, I sometimes feel like I'm just spinning my wheels in we

Had a home game

I realize now why I play so much on-line poker.  It can be pure misery trying to set up and organize a good home game. 

I mean it is easy enough to have beer, food, table, chairs, poker chips and cards.  The hard part is getting a solid commitment from friends and friends of friends to commit to coming to play.  I think the rule of thumb should be to invite 5 or 6 more than you would really want and then maybe.... maybe you will have enough for a goo
