2012 Bankroll build Blsmur

just over a week ago I  took my money out of PS after being badly treated  for something i certainly didnt do anything wrong  

so I have been playing elsewhere  , but now I have decided to  comeback because there are plenty of games here  ie Pokerstars  
So i have loaded my account with just $70  this is 20 buyins at $3.50 which should be fine    , while I was away I played 107 games  for +11% ROI  i was at one stage down -20% ROI and then Kierke said to me to  try and write down the ranges you  think your opponent could have  , I dont think I have this right yet  but I am trying  

so I will post every 100 games and see how I go

i have set my HEM to start today so I have a blank slate . wish me luck and good decisions .cheers
Very Happy

Good Luck.

Run good, as a veteran beginner I have done the same, but given myself 30 buyins.

Kick some ass dude...

hi just a top up on where i am at

basically down 30 buyins  but have done ok last 7 games with 5 wins  

not much point saying anything else   oh am just over 100 games  and i have lost at the rate of $1.69 an hour   lol
blsmur

hi guys well i am up to 200 games on pokerstars since my rebuy om the 22nd jan
I must say I am a bit disappointed  in the results  clearly got a heap wrong and some games where every time it counted it went against me  however I started to come back quite well from 100 games onwards
and I am just at 50.8% in the money  my last few games went a bit flat after a good run up for 30 games or so

here is my graph

yes i am doing something right  and it feels good , so what has changed ?
wel for one i am caffeine free , i went from sleeping 6 hours a night to 8 hours at least now

memory retention is better curiously  mind /thinking seems better it took 3 days before i stopped getting headaches  

I have started playing 9 man sng again and did well today and the hu training is working well  , both in playing hands in general, and on the final 3, I am making way more  better decisions and usually got 5k + by the bubble or I am out  
overall I think my results will continue now I dont get to play much as i have been fixing up my Jag and I rebuilt a boat trailer and i bought a back hoe very old one and have been doing stuff with it  including blowing a hose today  but i will continue my poker  i want to get back to tournys again soon
any  way cheers for now

I was feeling i was doing badly last few times I played so I decided to look  at my graph

and it would seem i wasn't being sucked out on as often as I thought

just a quick update i still have a few gmes to go before i make my next hu post  and graph

but I thought some might be interested in my 9 man results  I am a little high in my losses of the 9th and 8 th position  but i am working on that
but the rest of my game is near perfect  and my HU is way above anything i have done in the past



[img]
[/img]


the above graph did not includes the previous 11 games I played before those 26 games  of the 11 games played i got 3rd once and a 4th and a 6th + on the rest  pretty bad imo but the above graph is 100 percent correct , but as it was meant to be displaying all the games from the 18th of the 1st  here is the updated graph

sorry for the confusion and misrepresentation

the good thing is my 26 games are right and well played  the 11 games previous were played while watching tv  and i hadnt played any 9 mans for quite a while  so probably playing way too loose for 9 mans , hope i dont do that again

Loved this post!

Good to see you running well, hope it keeps trending upwards.

Any reason you didnt count the games you played the week before the date filter ?  Or is this something you decided to start after it ?

i havent been counting my HU before the date filter either
the reason for the date filter was i reloaded my account after withdrawing everything from PS

it is explained earlier in this thread

So i have loaded my account with just $70


On topshark, for your 9mans (since you deposited), it has you playing 37 games (PokerStars  37   -$0.21  NOI  -$7.71  $1.50), not the 26 showing on your HEM.  Weird.
blsmur

FIXED  NOW
blsmur

i have had a mixed bag of game results last few days which is like only about 20 games , i did play some hypers , clearly a waste of money for me so I am sick of waiting to get to $70  again before moving up so i have made the move with just 10 buyins  and i play 1 game so far  since making the move i will play some more , I have a problem when i try to play a lot of games ,I just seem to start making bad decisions . I find if I play say 3 games and then leave for a while and come back later i am ok but if I try to play lots it is not good for me

I have about 30 games to go before I post my next Graph on HU
playing the $3.5s  now Very Happy


I think I will play the  tag poker home game tomorrow morning it will be about 7.30 am my time  so I should be about by then
cheers
blsmur

update
I haven't played poker since the last Tag Poker Home game

several weeks now so when is the next one   ?

i have been busy with building foaling alarms out of season and i had to finish off the horsefloat rebuild which i got as 4 pieces  2 axles the fiberglass top and the main chassis  Someone stripped it out and ran away with my friends money so I offered to do the rebuild quite a big job  

also i have been doing my forex designing EAs waste heaps of time doing this and managed to lose every week .
well i will be back at poker from now on and I hope i can show some good results
cheers
blsmur

ok i have hit 300 games now and due for an update

so my break of about 4 weeks has probably not helped or hindered my gameplay  so i guess at least i am consistent  . I am not making great headway either , so I must still have some things I am doing wrong  .
any way here is my updated graph  of husng  [img]

i am not running bad or my red line would be above my green line so I had a bit of a mess up around the 250 games  I don't remember what or why
well back to it
cheers

Wondering why you were playing the 3.50s, then drop back to the 1.50s after one loss, then continue the 1.50s.  Are you using a solid BRM ?  This is a very important part of doing well at this game, and there are plenty of articles about it.
blsmur

i played some 9 man sng last night  and lost about 6 out of 6  
so back to 1.50 games

I could put some more money in I guess but I am not trying to make living  just trying to play  correctly

so the BR is not  essential i can upgrade anytime even tho I have $30 or less I dont really consider it my bankroll as I have the ability to top it up to $100 max I think  but  I would like to just earn it if I possibly can , having said that I hate how long it takes to make any money when playing $1.50 games .
blsmur

just a quick note

I played a long time  tourny player HU in his home game on PS
while it was only for play money he was trying very hard and i stacked him 3 times and felt no pressure from him  , so I think what I have learned from Tagpoker and my study etc has certainly made me a better HU player that your average tourny player  

so armed with this i jumped into a cash HU game for 25/50 cent blinds but only with 50bb so a $25 buyin . I PTR the guy i decided to sit and he was a big loser  , result about 5 minutes after sitting him i had $51 in my PS account

feeling pretty good about this a bit later  I had another go this guy was also a big loser have done $8k, at this level,  so i bought in again for $25 and he was harder to play but i eventually stacked him and he left but by the end of it only had $60  so i guess i was raped by the rake .
so no more of that for a while .

I have also managed to get my account up to $70 now in $3.50 husng
trying to play the 4 manners  as i like the odds and returns from these
so i triple my account in just 24 hours   which is not a good BR management plan but i got away with it  


Very Happy

400 games

hi guys well I am up to 400 games and well I am not broke

but i had a little success and maged to get the BR to $80 at one stage  but currently back to 64   so I post my graph anyway and hopefully I can have this graph pointing upwards in the future

cheers

PS I guess the variance has been against me too for the last 60 games

hi just a top up here not doing any better than usual
i have been playing mostly on TRUEPoker
this site has nearly 100 % usa  players

the stakes i can afford are $3 plus 10c or 15c depending on type of game
i have been playing mostly hypers  one guy manages to beat me more often than i care to admit  , the rest of them are usually worse than me,  when the site is buzzing it has about 5000 players online but you can still wait quite some time to get a game

I might make a video of me playing the hypers shortly i dont think I am doing much wrong  , i have been studying the mersenneary vids I have and also his ebook  
well cheers for now

Very Happy

I joined them some time ago with higher  rakeback  but they changed the deal after black friday   , clearly a mistake by them , I guess they thought getting new players would be easy
